A New Threat Approaches Gnawnia
22 March 2011
Gnawnia is Under Attack!
The King needs his most experienced hunters to defend the Kingdom!The Marching Flame Approaches Gnawnia
An army of mice known as the Marching Flame have stalked the desert west of the Lagoon for years conquering land and destroying settlements. Their warpath has now met the border of Whisker Woods where the Kingdom of Gnawnia lies in their sights! The King is calling upon his most experienced hunters who have shown great knowledge of the Lagoon to defend Whisker Woods and prevent the Marching Flame from advancing towards the castle. They've even had the audacity to deface our MouseHunt Shield! If you find yourself called upon, please hurry west to the Sandtail Desert and offer your help!
Desert Supplies
Once you have setup camp in the desert make sure to visit the local General Store and Charm Shoppe where special supplies have been stocked to help in your efforts to defeat the Marching Flame. In addition to these new shoppes, the King has also put together a Warpath Survival Kit containing SUPER|brie+ as well as special charms to help defeat the Marching Flame. Once you reach the desert, these survival kits are sure to come in handy, GET ONE NOW!
Be Prepared
The Marching Flame are highly organized and come in great numbers. Defeating one of their battallions will not be an easy task, however, the rewards are great. The leader of each battallion has been known to hold scarce pieces of loot that local trapsmiths have found to be useful in crafting traps of unmatched power.
This is all that is known of this new threat, however, there is still much to discover! If you come across information that may help defeat the Marching Flame do not hesitate to let your hunting group know and make sure to visit the discussion boards to share information and discuss tactics with fellow hunters.
Have Yet to Reach Baron/Baroness?
A new trap has been discovered that will help you conquer the Tribal Isles and get one step closer to reaching Baron/Baroness! The Enraged RhinoBot is a craftable upgrade to the RhinoBot made by combining multiple Rhino Horns with RhinoBot Parts, Stale SUPER|brie+ and some Tiny Platinum Bars. The Enraged RhinoBot not only has more power than the original RhinoBot but also has a healthy luck bonus! The mice of Derr Dunes don't stand a chance!
Best of Luck, Hunters!
The Kingdom is depending on you!

How can I prepare for the event?

Limelight and Radioactive Blue Cheese are sure to come in handy as well as a few Anti-Skele Charms (only while in the Catacombs) to help home-in on those scrap metal dropping mice!Good luck to everyone who plans on hunting scrap metal this weekend and happy hunting!
MouseHunt's 3rd Birthday Celebration!
4 March 2011
We're celebrating MouseHunt's 3rd Birthday Bash!
Visit the Birthday Party location in GnawniaMouseHunt is Three Years Old!
We've been hunting mice and exploring the vast world of Gnawnia for three years! To celebrate, the King has set up an inflatable fortress of fun and frivolity just south of the castle and every hunter has been invited. However, it seems mice have crashed the party! With all the sugar coated cakes and treats, some of the mice have given up other flavours of cheese and developed an incurable sweet tooth. Luckily a new potion has been discovered to create a cupcake-flavoured version of Colby Cheese. Its sugary good taste and scent are sure to attract the party animals!
Cupcake Colby Potion
In order to attract all the mice at the Birthday Party and discover what unique loot they may hold, you'll need some potions to create Cupcake Colby Cheese. These potions can be collected as loot at the Birthday Party. Mice at the party that drop potions include Cowardly Mice, who are attracted to most standard bait types, as well as Curious Chemist Mice who have a preference for SUPER|brie+. Additionally, if you're in the giving mood you can send friends Cupcake Colby Potions as party favours! By clicking the gift button at the top of the game, you will be able to send them potions for free!
Three "Blind" Mice
Three new event mice have shown up at the birthday party. They each share a common affliction: they can't see your trap in front of them! The Buckethead, Pintail and Sleepwalker Mouse each have a finely tuned sense of smell for birthday treats and can't resist the sweet scent of Cupcake Colby Cheese. Arm your trap with some and these three mice are sure to wander by!
2011 Birthday Gifts
Birthday Mice at the party are dropping gifts as loot! These wrapped boxes mostly contain a few pieces of cheese to help in your hunting endevours. However, they occasionally may contain some SUPER|brie+, King's Credits or both!

If you took part in last year's birthday celebration, you no doubt remember that only the Nannybot was able to tame the tenacious Terrible Twos Mouse. Mustachio the Charmer has been working dilligently with the scientists of Digby to research a charm that can harness the Parental power type. Such a charm was discovered, but was just as quickly stolen by the mice! It can now be found as loot at the Birthday Party. The few Nanny Charms Digby scientists were able to recover can be sent to friends as gifts. After all, what's a birthday party without gifts?
