| − | Collect New Year's Fireworks and set them off while flying!
| + | The King's personal pyrotechnic expert has been surveying the remaining fireworks left in hunters' inventories across Gnawnia and has come to a frightening conclusion. She has informed the King that simply allowing these undeployed fireworks to remain is a recipe for disaster!<br/><br/> |
| | | | |
| − | ====New Year's Party Zones====
| + | Who knows what might set them off while they are spread across the Kingdom in precarious locations? Imagine if a large quantity of them were to deploy while underground in the Fungal Cavern, or while scaling the narrow stairs of the King's Gauntlet, or while facing the Marching Flame at the Fiery Warpath— Wait, that last one might be alright. |
| − | While exploring the Great Winter Hunt you may now come across a New Year's Party zone where New Year's and Partyhead mice have been spotted! Both of these mice drop celebratory Festive New Year's Fireworks that are sure to bring in 2017 with a BANG!
| |
| | | | |
| − | You'll attract these event mice most often by using Arctic Asiago while your sleigh is within a New Year's Party zone. Collect the Fireworks from both of these mice then take flight to set them off and ring in the new year!
| + | ====Operation: Fireworks Disposal==== |
| | + | In any case, she has made the recommendation to the King that all available hunters should make their way back to the Vacant Lot in order to safely detonate and dispose of their leftover ordnances. |
| | | | |
| − | For even more Fireworks, try arming either Festive Anchor or Winter charms within a New Year's Party zone to attract the Snowflake Mouse which can also drop fireworks!
| + | Under her advice, the King has agreed to allow hunters to visit the General Store in the Vacant Lot and deploy their remaining Festive New Year's Fireworks for 1,000 gold each (as an Environmental Handling Fee). |
| | | | |
| − | If you have Festive New Year's Fireworks in your inventory while flying, you'll automatically set off one firework with each hunt. The more fireworks you ignite from the sky, the more rewards you'll unlock!
| + | In exchange, hunters can hang onto the Deployed Festive New Year's Fireworks left behind from the fireworks disposal. |
| | | | |
| − | While setting off fireworks, you'll also have a chance to encounter the Frightened Flying Fireworks Mouse. When you capture this mouse, you'll find 2017 Charms as loot!
| + | Once hunters have disposed of their old fireworks, they can check out the other festive shoppes to purchase the special New Year's goodies! Remember that these items are Limited Edition and will not be tradable on the Marketplace. |
| | | | |
| − | While New Year's Party Zones are the best place to find Festive New Year's Fireworks, you can also find them while flying! Two Festive New Year's Fireworks are attached to each Floating Reindeer Crate and will be placed directly in your inventory each time you find one of these crates.
| + | '''If you have any leftover Festive New Year's Fireworks, head to the General Store in the Vacant Lot now to deploy them!''' |
| | | | |
| − | Collect fireworks, then take flight to deploy one with each hunt!
| + | '''This disposal enterprise will operate until Tuesday, January 17, when all shoppes in the Vacant Lot will close.''' |
| | | | |
| − | ====New Year's Rewards====
| + | </blockquote> |
| − | Each firework you set off in the sky will get you closer to explosive rewards! Remember: You'll find fireworks most often in New Year's Party zones, but you can also collect them while flying whenever you find a Floating Reindeer Crate or from Snowflake mice. Make sure to have Arctic Asiago armed for the best hunting results!

| | | | |
| | <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| − | Spread joy and holiday cheer and decorate the Kingdom in a Festive Turbine-Powered Sleigh Ride!
| + | The winter hunt has come to an end, make sure to browse the shops before they close! |
| − | | |
| − | ====The Great Winter Hunt Impostor====
| |
| − | A troublesome mouse is masquerading as a certain jolly fellow, going house to house to steal gifts and tear down decor! The antics of this pesky mouse has been dampening everyone's holiday spirit and the King needs your help to track down this villain, restore the decor, and transform the Kingdom back into a Winter Wonderland!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Larry and the King have just the right tool to help hunters transform the Kingdom into a wonderland: A high-powered sleigh pulled by a Twin Temporal Turbine* engine, complete with the magical ability to fly! Take to the air in this magic sleigh to transform the ground below into a Winter Wonderland!
| |
| − | | |
| − | The sleigh's magical ability to fly is powered by joy and holiday cheer, something that's in short supply at the moment. Before you can take to the sky, you'll need to spread some good cheer by wrapping gifts for the citizens of Gnawnia.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''*NOTE: Twin Temporal Turbine engine cannot be dismantled.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Wrap Gifts and Spread Joy and Holiday Cheer====
| |
| − | To lift the spirits of the citizens of Gnawnia and power your sleigh's ability to fly, you must wrap gifts by recovering special items from mice throughout various zones at the Great Winter Hunt. The heads-up display will show what gift items are currently at the top of everyone's wish list.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each hunt you take where you encounter a mouse will move your sleigh forward through the snow to explore various zones within the Great Winter Hunt. The mice you encounter and the loot you find will change depending on which zone you're currently exploring.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can speed up your sleigh by using Sleigh Nitro and slow it down by using any type of anchor charm, including a new Festive Anchor Charm that also attracts the Snowflake Mouse who carries special loot. These charms also work in the Sunken City and Balack's Cove!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hunt with any festive-themed cheese to attract mice that drop gifts, however, Arctic Asiago has a near-perfect attraction rate and will bring around the best gift-dropping mice!
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Toy Lot'''<br/>
| |
| − | While exploring the Toy Lot, you'll find Simple Toy Tops from mice and occasionally Deluxe Toy Blocks.
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | Decorations as far as the eye can see! You'll find simple and deluxe ornaments most often while exploring this zone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Bunny Hills'''<br/>
| |
| − | While exploring the Bunny Hills you'll find Simple Pairs of Skis and occasionally Deluxe Riding Sleds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Frosty Mountains'''<br/>
| |
| − | Amongst the steep slopes and hairpin turns you'll find skis and sleds most often while exploring this zone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Winter Wasteland'''<br/>
| |
| − | These relatively barren wastelands are not much more than snow drifts and pretty drab. You won't find gift items very often while exploring these zones.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Snowball Storm'''<br/>
| |
| − | Take cover! This zone has some of the toughest mice in the Great Winter Hunt, making it difficult to navigate. You'll find Throwable Snowballs as loot while exploring this zone, however, you won't find any gift items.

| − | ====Decorating the Kingdom from the Air====
| |
| − | Once you've wrapped 10 gifts, click the "Take Flight" button on the heads-up display and have your sleigh take to the air! While flying, watch as your sleigh transforms the ground below into a magical winter wonderland! How beautiful and heart-warming!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Your sleigh will have enough joy to remain in flight for 20 hunts, so keep your sleigh moving through the air as quickly as possible to cover as much ground as you can!
| |
| − | | |
| − | While cruising through the winter sky you'll also find the Great Winter Impostor Mouse himself! Capturing the impostor will spread joy and holiday cheer and extend your flight time by two hunts!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although any bait will attract festive mice while your sleigh is airborne, the chilly scent of Arctic Asiago will bring around festive mice most often, including the Great Winter Hunt Impostor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While airborne, Festive Anchor Charms will have nothing to grip onto and as a result, no longer slow down your sleigh. However, most festive charms will still attract the Snowflake Mouse to find special loot drops!
| |
| − | | |
| − | When your sleigh returns to the snowy surface, you'll be back where you left off, ready to recover more gifts and spread more joy and holiday cheer so you can take flight again!
