Spring Egg Hunt 2011

14 April 2011

The Spring Egg Hunt is Here!

Find eggs across the Kingdom and smash them open for rewards!

The Gnawnian Chocolate Factory

To celebrate the arrival of spring, the King has constructed a new chocolate factory south of the castle to produce thousands of scrumptious chocolate eggs for hunters to munch upon! It was not long, however, until a villainous mouse known as Hare Razor picked up the milk-chocolatey scent and took over the factory to carry out his own devious plan.

What is Hare Razor's plan? To use our confectionary eggs as a means to smuggle precious hunting gear out and away from Gnawnia to leave hunters inadequately supplied to hunt mice! Hare Razor has recruited Eggsplosive Scientists, Egg Painters and Coco Commanders to help create chocolate eggs with an almost unbreakable candy shell. Hunting items and equipment from across the Kingdom have been stolen and locked away in these unbreakable eggs to prevent hunters from being able to use them for hunting mice.

The King needs you to find 10 of these hidden eggs and then travel to the Chocolate Factory to find a way to smash them open.

Find 10 Eggs to Enter the Chocolate Factory

Before you can travel to the Chocolate Factory you'll first have to find 10 eggs that have been scattered across the Kingdom by Hare Razor. You can keep track of which eggs you've found by clicking the "Spring Hunt Eggs Found" button on the heads-up display. You'll also notice a new friendly companion named Scrambles who provides a few hints on where to start looking. Don't forget to visit the forums to share your findings with other hunters. By working together, you'll have them found quicker!

Even mildly insane, candy-addicted rodent villains have organized production schedules, and Hare Razor is no exception. Four of the eggs are not yet being produced at the Chocolate Factory but will be put into production over the next few days. Check your Spring Hunt Egg Found button for more details.

A Few Tips to Get You Started

Five locational eggs have been scattered across the entire kingdom where they can be found as loot drops from mice. These same five eggs can be found in each region, so you may want to pick a region and check each location within it as a starting point. Remember, some locational eggs have yet to be produced by the Chocolate Factory and will not be available for collection until they have been released. Click your Spring Hunt Eggs Found button to see which are unlocked.

Three profile eggs have been hidden on your friends' hunter profiles. Visit friends to discover these eggs. Profile eggs can also be found as loot drops from mice.

One gift egg can be sent to your friends.

One GOLDEN egg has can be found in various hunting locations. You'll need to be an experienced EggHunter to handle this precious egg. You won't be able to find the golden egg until you have found the other nine eggs.

Let the Hunt Begin!

You may be an experienced MouseHunter, but how will you fare as an EggHunter? Now's the time to find out! The King is counting on you to find the scattered eggs and find a way to smash open their hardened candy shells!

Incorporating FB App Changes

1 April 2011

Hey hunters. There have been some recent changes to how Facebook apps work. We've had to make updates to MouseHunt to accommodate these changes. During this transition there may be a few hiccups. We're working to resolve any issues that may have come up due to these changes.

If you are having problems using the application please try logging out of Facebook, clearing your browser's cookies and restart your browser before logging back into Facebook.

We hope to have everything sorted out soon. Thanks for your patience.
