The correct title of this article is SUPER|brie+. The omission of the | is due to technical restrictions.


SUPER|brie+ (also commonly referred to as Super Brie, SB+ or simply SB) is a "magical" type of cheese. It has the best attraction rate for a variety of mice throughout MouseHunt. It can also be used in conjunction with Radioactive Blue Potions to create Radioactive Blue cheese and with Gnarled Cheese Curd Potions to create Gnarled cheese.

SUPER|brie+ can be obtained in various ways, including real-money donations to the developers, trading with other hunters, gifts from friends, and by completing sponsored offers. These options are discussed below.

Attraction Clarifications

SUPER|brie+ is by far the best cheese to use in a variety of environments, not only in those found in Gnawnia. Its 99% attraction rate holds true for virtually all mice except those most often found in the Mousoleum, Meditation Room, Pinnacle Chamber, Bristle Woods, Lagoon, and Jungle of Dread, which require the use of specific cheese. In addition to boosting attraction rate, SUPER|brie+ also slightly increases the odds of encountering many mice such as Burglars, Black Widows, Worker, Cooks, Furoma Students and prize mice.

Donations for SUPER|brie+

Direct donations for SUPER|brie+ can be carried out via PayPal or MobillCash through the MouseHunt donation page. For hunters spending real money, the per-piece cost using the options on the Donation page is far better than that on the Offers page (see the Sponsored offers section below).

For each donation, hunters are also rewarded with a Lucky Golden Shield that adds a bonus of +7 Luck to their trap combination for a period of time. The duration, as well as the amount of SUPER|brie+ received for each donation is as shown below (all prices in U.S. dollars):

Donation Amount SUPER|Brie+ received SUPER|Brie+ per dollar Shield Duration
$1.00 15 pieces 15 pieces 1 Month
$3.00 75 pieces 25 pieces 1 Month
$7.50 325 pieces 43.33 pieces 1 Month
$10.00 500 pieces 50 pieces 1 Month
$25.00 1,600 pieces 64 pieces 2 Months
$50.00 3,500 pieces 70 pieces 4 Months

The golden shield will replace the standard grey Mousehunt logo in the top-left of the game. A faded golden shield will also appear on the hunter's profile page, indicating that the additional luck benefit is active.

The remaining shield duration can be seen at the Traps tab, located under Inventory.

Getting SUPER|brie+ in-game

An easy way to gain 3 SUPER|brie+ per day is to install the MH toolbar and to run 9 searches with the search engine.

The King occasionally doles out SUPER|brie+ to his hunters as incentives for the hunt. Hunters can also receive SUPER|brie+ as a reward for successfully catching a Mobster, Glitchpaw or Black Widow Mouse.

SUPER|brie+ can also be obtained through trade requests (see External links below) or by receiving it as a gift from a friend.

SUPER|brie+ is available seasonally as drops from Cupid mice (in February around Valentine's Day), Hollowhead mice (in October around Halloween), as loot from Gifts and Magically Wrapped Gifts (in December around the winter holidays) and Birthday Gifts (around MouseHunt's birthday 7 March).

SUPER|brie+ can also be obtained by completing a sponsored offer or by purchasing it with real money through the sponsored offers page. Players who successfully complete an offer will receive a Lucky Golden Shield for 1 month.

Considerations

Sponsored offers may nominally be free or may require the purchase of goods or services. Offers range from completing surveys to applying for credit cards to purchasing subscriptions and more. All such offers, of course, come at a price regardless of whether they are "free" or not.

Increased commercial email

Hunters completing sponsored offers, particularly the "free" offers, are almost always required to submit personal information including name, address, phone and email address, often along with other demographic information, to complete the offer. Doing so subjects the hunter to an immediate increase in commercial email and almost certainly results in the user's email address being given, traded or sold to countless direct marketing (i.e. "spam") companies. This is noted within the offer terms, but many users fail to read and/or understand the "fine print".
At the very least, hunters may be well advised to create a separate email address to be used for such offers and to never use their day-to-day address for such offers as the amount of additional email generated is significant, to say the least.

Time investment

Hunters completing sponsored offers can expect to spend anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour or more completing the terms of a single "free" offer in return for half a dozen to a few dozen SUPER|brie+. Generally speaking the more time an offer takes or the more personal information is required, the greater the reward. Hunters can do their own cost/benefit analysis to decide if it is worth spending time on a survey and irreversibly revealing personal information to marketing companies instead of making an actual cash donation.

Per-piece cost and other considerations

Hunters should also be aware that real-money purchases made through the links on the sponsored offers page have a considerably higher per-piece cost compared with using the direct donation options described in the Donations section above. In addition, it is likely that far less of the money spent in this manner reaches the MouseHunt developers, which in turn means less money for game development, prizes, promotions, and so on. For these reasons, hunters are advised against using these purchase options unless absolutely necessary.

Having said all of this, the "free" sponsored offers provide an opportunity to get SUPER|brie+ with no out-of-pocket expense and may be a useful alternative for hunters who know what they're getting into.
