Events
Contents
Events in MouseHunt are special occasions when the King of Gnawnia releases prize mice into the wild. Any hunter with a baited trap is capable of catching special event mice, regardless of location (with some exceptions).
King's Giveaway
The King's Giveaway event started 11 November 2010. The event introduced 3 new event mice, along with Prize Power, Lucky Coins, King's Credits and the King's Royal Prize Shoppe. It also introduced the notion of a Wishing Well at friend's profiles in order to earn more prize power.
Halloween Trick AND Treat
The Halloween Trick AND Treat event was held 20 October 2010 - 2 November 2010. The event introduced the Haunted Terrortories location (in the place of the earlier Festive Comet and Heart of the Tiger Party) and included 4 new event mice and 2 new traps. It also introduced the notion of Trick-or-Treating at friend's profiles in order to earn 2 new cheeses.
MouseHunt Birthday II
Fully named "MouseHunt Birthday II: The Revenge of the Nanny Bot!", this event was held throughout the month of March 2010 to commemorate MouseHunt's second birthday on 7 March. The event included several new mice and new traps. Additionally, a total of 16,800 SUPER|brie+ have been awarded to hunters who could catch the most Dojo Sensei, Silth and Big Bad Burroughs mice!
Heart of the Tiger
The Heart of the Tiger event was held between 9-22 February 2010 for Valentine's Day and Lunar New Years Eve 2010. It introduced the renovated Festive Comet location as the Heart of the Tiger Party and introduced 5 new special event mice breeds. The Festive Gift Shoppe also reopened with new gifts.
The Great Winter Hunt '09
The Great Winter Hunt was held over the Christmas and New Year holidays of 2009. The event included a new area, new mice, shareable gifts and the return of Ronza.
12 Days 'til Christmas
A new loot item was available at the Festive Comet each day between 12-23 December 2009, each dropped by two mice (except the 12th day when four breeds of mice dropped the loot).
Once hunters collected all 12 items from the 12 Days 'til Christmas event, they could exchange them with Larry for the limited edition trap the Christmas Cracker Trap. Alternatively, if they had not collected all 12 items or simply did not want a new trap they could exchange items for 10 SUPER|brie+ each. Twelve Liters of Egg Nog, however, was not able to be traded for SUPER|brie+; instead it remained in hunter's inventory after the hunter exchanged 12 items for the trap.
