Warmth and the smell of baking cheese biscuits draw mice into this charming little gumdrop house, where they will find a present, waiting just for them. The mice unwrap the present, to find, in place of the cheese biscuits, a mouse-sized parachute. Once the mouse puts on the parachute, a burst of reverse Santa magic shoots it out the chimney, into the air to a land far away. Being flung into the air isn't what the mouse had on its list, but it's the thought that counts.




The Gingerbread House Surprise is a Tactical weapon available only through crafting. After the release of Gingerbread House Plans, the weapon was almost immediately crafted by several individuals as the ingredients had been readily available for the entirety of The Great Winter Hunt '09 and The Great Winter Hunt 2010 festive events.

The Gingerbread House Surprise has stats comparable to the Mutated Venus Mouse Trap. It has slightly reduced power and power bonus, but a higher attraction bonus. Both weapons have the same luck rating. However, the Gingerbread House Surprise has an Über Fresh cheese effect, the freshest of any weapon released so far.

Purchasing Info

During the Great Winter Hunt 2011, the Festive Comet Trapsmith sold the Gingerbread House Surprise for the first time, at a purchase price of 94,500 gold and 70 Ice Coins, along with a minimum possession of 425 Festive Toy Receipts; the refund price was 18,900 gold.

Prior to that point, the Gingerbread House Surprisecould only be crafted given the proper ingredients.
