Points
Each mouse caught is worth a specific number of points. Trap components have a minimum points requirement, should a hunter fail to meet the requirement they will not be able to purchase the component. Points determine your rank on the scoreboard.
Points are gained by catching mice. The heavier the mouse is, the less points it is worth. Since a smaller mouse is faster, it is more challenging to catch, and therefore worth more points. In certain areas, the mice might steal points if you attract but fail to catch them. These areas are the Harbour, the Mountain, the Laboratory, the Mousoleum and the Training Grounds. Up to now, the Mousoleum is the best place to make points and gold quickly although the mice tend to cause severe damage there. However, the MouseHunt developers slightly reduced the possible point losses in these areas after the roll-out of MouseHunt 2.0.
25 points are also awarded each time you sound the Hunter's Horn. You gain 10 extra points for each hunter in your Hunting Group at your location and yet to sound the horn, up to a maximum of 250 points.
