MouseHunt's 16th Birthday
27 February 2024
Set foot back into the SUPER|brie+ Factory!
Come see the secrets about how the Kingdom's Famous Cheese is made!
Happy Birthday!
The King is celebrating 16 years of hunting on March 7, 2024! To mark this momentous occasion, he has ordered the secret SUPER|brie+ Factory to be brought up from the depths of the Rodentia Ocean. Hunters can once again visit the fabled factory to get a in-depth look at how SUPER|brie+ is made.
While taking in the sights, hunters are asked to kindly setup camp to help defend the factory and recover assembly line parts that have been picked up by the invading mice. There's SUPER|brie+, the Anniversary Aura, Party Charms, and more to earn!
Factory Touring ScheduleOn March 12 the SUPER|brie+ Factory rooms will no longer be upgradable and the mice will no longer drop parts.
Hunters can claim one more crate by pumping cheese and make their final purchases until March 19 when the factory will close its doors.Mastering Cheese Production
Pump cheese through the assembly line of the SUPER|brie+ Factory by hunting mice with either Coggy Colby or Speedy Coggy Colby. Arming either of these cheeses will attract the rambunctious rodents wreaking havoc in the factory and capturing them will allow the delicious cheese to flow!
You can collect Coggy Colby by hunting with any standard cheese type at the factory. If you're looking to speed up your cheese production, you can use Speedy Coggy Colby which allows you to pump an additional 10 litres per catch! Speedy Coggy Colby can be earned as a reward for completing the SUPER|brie+ Factory Adventure or purchased from the Premium Shop.
