Spring Egg Hunt!
4 April 2012
Spring Egg Hunt!
Spring is here, and with the season comes the Spring Egg Hunt!
The Chocolate Factory doors have been re-opened after last year's hare-razing events, and the sweet aroma of brewing chocolate has attracted some of the egg-loving mice of the land. A vast supply of eggs, old and new, have been stolen and carried off into Gnawnia and beyond. What's worse, some of the more artistic mice were tempted by the reserves of egg paint, and all we've got left are a bunch of plain ol' white eggs!
Get to the Chocolate Factory, catch mice carrying Marshmallow Monterey, find the missing egg paint to finish off the Spring Eggs, and find out whose responsible for the mischief at the factory!
Factory doors close on April 18, but it might take a while to clean up all the bonus eggs...
EGGS!
Paint all your Spring Eggs, find the Eggscavator, then head off to find the mice carrying the bonus eggs across the land!
When you find an egg, visit the Special section of your inventory to smash it open!
Paint, Paint, Paint!
Marshmallow Monterey
Hunt in the Chocolate Factory to find mice carrying Marshmallow Monterey. This strangely sweet 'n' peppery cheese has an aroma and flavour only a mouse could love.
Egg Paint
Use Marshmallow Monterey to find mice carrying paint for each of the unpainted eggs. Use Dark Chocolate Charms from the Charm Shoppe in the area to attract a more sinister mouse who sometimes carries more paint.
The Golden Egg is the most-coveted of all of the Spring Eggs, so the mice won't give up any Golden Paint until all the other paints are exhausted. The sight of that fully-painted Golden Egg is sure to attract the troublemaker responsible!
Eggscavator
We saw a mouse carrying this new egg-hunting tool, and it could prove quite useful for hunting down all of the bonus eggs! Finish painting the eggs, find the mouse responsible for all this trouble, and get that Eggscavator so you can begin your Spring Egg Hunt!
When you find an egg, visit the Special section of your inventory to smash it open! Your Eggscavator will keep a record of eggs you've found, old and new, smashed or intact.
Eggy Charms
Eggstra Charms
The incredible magic of these charms will duplicate any bonus eggs dropped by mice, giving you TWO eggs instead of just one when used with the Eggscavator. Use Marshmallow Monterey in the Chocolate Factory Charm Shoppe to create these charms, or pickup an Egg Hunting Kit which comes with 5 charms and plenty of Marshmallow Monterey. After the Spring Egg Hunt is over, any eggcess Eggstra Charms can be smashed with your Hunter's Hammer to create Dark Chocolate Charms.
Dark Chocolate Charms
Made of 88% coco and 12% evil, this sinister piece of confectionery will attract spooky mice when hunting at the Chocolate Factory and help you paint eggs faster! Before you arm this charm make sure your trap is properly prepared and that you're up for a challenge! Buy some from the Charm Shoppe!
Spring Gifts and Gift Eggs for Friends!

Glitchpaws Invade the Party
07 March 2012
Hey hunters,
It seems the Glitchpaw Mice were eager to celebrate our fourth birthday and crashed the party, resulting in a hefty amount of downtime just as the party was coming to a climax. Once the Glitchpaw invasion was discovered, the team worked for hours to isolate the problem.
Unfortunately the aftermath of this Glitchpaw attack was hunters inventories being a little jumbled and gold, points and progress stats to be drastically lowered. After diagnosing the problem and exhausting all other options, we determined that a rollback was necessary.
This means that the game state and the stats of all hunters were reverted to an earlier state. Anything done in-game between 12am GMT to 6am GMT was restored to the state they were at 12am GMT.
For example: If you spent 1,000 gold on a trap or marketplace item during the effected time, it will be as if it never happened, meaning you do not have the trap or item and still have your 1,000 gold.
We realize a rollback can be extremely frustrating for players and as such they are always a last resort. Please know the team worked extremely hard looking for ways to restore lost data without having to revert the game to a previous state. Please know that over the coming days we will continue to look into what lead to this problem and are looking for ways to help avoid such problems from occurring again.
If you purchased SUPER|brie+ or another item with real-world cash we are working from a backup of our transaction history to restore those purchased items to your inventory. We're working hard to get those items in your inventory as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and your support!
You can help get MouseHunt's 4th Birthday Party back into swing by hunting Glitchpaw Mice that can be found across nearly the entire Kingdom. If you capture a pesky Glitchpaw Mouse while at the Birthday Party celebration you also find some very special loot! Due to the downtime, the party has been extended by a few extra days, giving you even more time to hunt down those troublesome Glitchpaws!
As a special token of thanks for your patience and understanding during the downtime, we've packed some extra SUPER|brie+ into a special birthday gift. If you've hunted at all during the birthday event you'll find a a DLU Gift Box in the special section of your inventory. Unwrap it now and enjoy the goodies within!
