Halloween at the Haunted Terrortories
19 October 2011
Mousevina von Vermin controls the Haunted Terrortories!
The Haunted Terrortories have returned to Gnawnia and are under the control of a spooky vampire named Mousevina von Vermin!
Mousevina has discovered a rare Soulstone capable of bewitching the minds of mice which she is currently using to defend her stronghold within the Haunted Terrortories. Various spooky mice from around the kingdom have fallen under her spell, and some have even dressed up for the occasion! Reaching her will no doubt be a spooky adventure, but your heroics will be rewarded! The Trapsmith at the Terrortories is especially interested in Mousevina's Soulstone. If you're able to capture her and acquire a Soulstone, be sure to visit the Trapsmith and see what secrets he can unlock!
How to hunt at the Haunted Terrortories
Navigating the Haunted Terrortories will require a hunter to both trick and treat the mice there by hunting with Ghoulgonzola (trick) and Candy Corn (treat) Cheese.
Gathering trick and treat cheese in Gnawnia is a familiar tradition. Each day, hunters may visit up to 10 friends and receive some bait. Before you visit others, be sure to visit your own profile and choose what type of cheese you're handing out! If you find yourself getting low on cheese, you can also hunt at the Terrortories using Swiss, Brie, Gouda or SUPER|brie+ to attract Hollowhead Mice that drop Halloween Cheese. Additionally, you may find it inside Pumpkin Treat Baskets which you can send as gifts to friends!
The Haunted Terrortories consists of three areas: The Corn Maze, Haunted Manor and the Pumpkin Patch. You must both trick AND treat enough mice in your current area to begin attracting mice from the next. Your trick and treat progress will be displayed while hunting in the Haunted Terrortories.
Are you an experienced hunter looking to hunt more challenging and rewarding mice? Visit the Charm Shoppe at the Haunted Terrortories and purchase Spooky Charms which, when armed, will attract more fearsome mice worth greater rewards!
Spooky Rewards
The Trapsmith at the Haunted Terrortories is especially interested in Mousevina's Soulstone. If you capture Mousevina and find her Soulstone, you'll then be able to purchase the Soul Catcher Trap. Highly experienced hunters may also find ways to increase the Soul Catcher's power and create a far spookier piece of hunting equipment that has a special luck bonus!
While visiting friends and hunting your way toward Mousevina, you may also find a few morsels of Halloween Candy, and if you're especially lucky you may even come across rare Cobwebs. These Halloween Candies and Cobwebs can be exchanged at the various Haunted Terrortories shops to purchase a wide variety of exciting loot, including never-before-seen charms and trap skins!

New Trap Skins
23 September 2011
Overhauled Trap Skins!
Trap Skins have been made better than ever!
Check out the brand new skins!
Using Trap Skins is Easier than Ever!
The trap skin system has been overhauled, making skins easier to use! When you have a trap armed that is compatible with the newly released skins an orange "Change Trap Skin" button will appear above your trap allowing you to easily change its look. The best part is these newly released skins do not require any crafting or changing of traps letting you easily express your unique style without the need to purchase several expensive traps.
Three New Trap Skins
Three new Trap Skins have been introduced that use the new and improved system. These skins let you change the look of your Enraged RhinoBot, Zugzwang's First Move and Arcane Capturing Rod of Never Yeiling Mystery (ACRONYM).
Extremely Enraged Rhinobot Skin
With just a few extra spikes, brighter LEDs and some small, controlled explosions, the Enraged RhinoBot takes on a more intimidating persona. Did a pesky mouse just steal some of your precious cheese? Apply this skin to show your appropriate level of rage!Larry's First Move Skin
Zugzwang may be familiar with Technic and Mystic Knights, but what about Friendly Knights? Apply this skin to your trap to put a friendlier face on Zugzwang's First Move.Jet-Black ACRONYM Skin
Although the Arcane Capturing Rod of Never Yielding Mystery is a very capable Arcane weapon, its tacky purple colour is sometimes said to clash with the dark and dreary Catacombs it is so often used within. Apply this skin to your ACRONYM trap to hunt in gloomy style!What about Existing Trap Skins?
After consulting the King's Arms, previously discovered Trap Skins (Ninja Ambush, Icy RhinoBot, Winter Clockapult, Grungy and Fluffy DeathBot) have been changed to be blueprints so that the unique traps they produce remain the mark of a true MouseHunt Trap Collector!
If you had any of the pre-existing trap skins you'll now find them as blueprints in your inventory that can be combined with the appropriate trap parts to create their respective traps.
New Trap Skins System and Three New Skins!
- Express your unique style and change your trap's look!
