MouseHunt Wiki
Welcome to the MouseHunt Wiki, where users can contribute their knowledge of the MouseHunt world for all to see.
MouseHunt is a popular application on Facebook that uses passive gameplay to help the player, referred to as the hunter, catch mice with a variety of traps in order to earn experience points and gold. To keep the growing Mousehunt community entertained the developers add from time to time new locations and mice to the game. MouseHunt was developed by members of HitGrab, Inc. and sampled for Beta testing in early 2008. On March 7, 2008, MouseHunt was officially released on Facebook to the general public.
The MHWiki (as it will be referred to from here on out) is intended to inform the populace of Mouse Hunters and those who have any interest in the MouseHunt world and its intricacies.
