====Labyrinth Puzzle Box====
+
MouseHunt is turning eight years old and The King is celebrating with cupcakes for everyone!
−
While exploring the Labyrinth, a hunter found a mysterious Puzzle Box that glowed with a new and powerful aura. However, upon touching the box it shattered into six pieces which all flew off deeper into the maze! Curious about this artifact, the King has called upon experienced hunters to explore the Labyrinth in an attempt to recover all six pieces.
 
  
−
====Recovering the Six Pieces====
+
====Eight Cupcake Orders====
−
The pieces are hiding in Fealty, Scholar, and Tech Hallways within the Labyrinth and in their respective districts within Zokor. They are hidden deep within the Labyrinth, meaning you're not likely to find them in the first hallway. The more of one type of clue you collect, the more likely you'll be to find that related piece.
+
The King has organized another birthday cupcake extravaganza! However, yet again several mice with a sweet tooth have proven to be a nuisance by stealing cupcakes. WHY does this keep happening?! The King needs the help of hunters to recover the stolen cupcakes and ship out orders.
  
−
You can track which pieces you've recovered by clicking the banner above your hunter's journal.
+
Upon arriving at the birthday celebration, you can pick up to three orders to work on at once from the heads-up display. There are eight different varieties of orders available, each celebrating a different year of MouseHunting! While you have a particular order active, you'll notice a few mice visiting your trap that originally appeared in the Kingdom during the order's respective year. These mice almost always carry a cupcake and a few even have other bonus loot with them!
  
−
*'''Two Fealty Puzzle Pieces'''
 
−
:You can find both of the Fealty-themed puzzle pieces within the various Fealty hallways in the Labyrinth or any Fealty district in Zokor itself.
 
−
*'''Two Scholar Puzzle Pieces'''
 
−
:You can find both of the Scholar-themed puzzle pieces within the various Scholar hallways in the Labyrinth or any Scholar district in Zokor itself.
 
−
*'''Two Tech Puzzle Pieces'''
 
−
:You can find both of the Tech-themed puzzle pieces within the various Tech hallways in the Labyrinth or any Tech district in Zokor itself.
 
  
−
'''Remember:''' The more of one type of clue you collect, the more likely you are to find a mouse that drops that piece. For example: Someone with 30 Tech clues in the Labyrinth is much more likely to find the Tech puzzle pieces than someone with only 5 Tech clues.

====The A-MAZE-ing Aura====
+
====Collecting Cupcake Colby and new Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby====
−
Once you've recovered all six puzzle pieces you can unlock the Puzzle Box by clicking the banner above your hunter's journal. Inside the box is contained a new and powerful trap aura called the A-MAZE-ing Aura that will grant a variety of bonuses while hunting in the Labyrinth and Zokor.
+
In order to lure cupcake carrying mice, you'll need either Cupcake Colby or a new type of cheese called Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby. The extra sweet version of Cupcake Colby will attract the various cupcake-themed mice more often and is the only way to attract the new Cupcake Camo and Cupcake Candle Thief mice!
  
−
* +5 Luck Bonus in both the Labyrinth and Zokor
+
*'''Cupcake Colby'''
−
* Bonus chance of preventing Dead End Clues in the Labyrinth
+

−
* The Manaforge Smith Mouse will drop an extra Powercore Hammer
+
*'''Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby'''
−
* The Soul Binder Mouse will drop an extra Sacred Script

−
* The Retired Minotaur will drop one of the following: Powercore Hammer, Sacred Script, Infused Plate
 
−
* All three district leaders and the Retired Minotaur will drop the new Puzzle Box Infinite Labyrinth Skin
 
  
−
As soon as you open the Puzzle Box, the A-MAZE-ing Aura will immediately activate and remain active until March 1, 2016. The sooner you recover the Puzzle Box, the longer you'll be able to reap the aura's benefits!
+
This extremely sweet cheese is a favourite of the various cupcake-themed mice at the party, including the elusive Cupcake Camo and Cupcake Candle Thief mice. These mice, with their especially powerful sweet teeth are known for stealing cupcakes and as such often drop one or more cupcakes when captured!

3 March 2016

MouseHunt is turning eight years old and The King is celebrating with cupcakes for everyone!

Eight Cupcake Orders

The King has organized another birthday cupcake extravaganza! However, yet again several mice with a sweet tooth have proven to be a nuisance by stealing cupcakes. WHY does this keep happening?! The King needs the help of hunters to recover the stolen cupcakes and ship out orders.

Upon arriving at the birthday celebration, you can pick up to three orders to work on at once from the heads-up display. There are eight different varieties of orders available, each celebrating a different year of MouseHunting! While you have a particular order active, you'll notice a few mice visiting your trap that originally appeared in the Kingdom during the order's respective year. These mice almost always carry a cupcake and a few even have other bonus loot with them!


Click "orders available" to view and pick an order to work on.
You can be working on up to three orders at the same time.

Collecting Cupcake Colby and new Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby

In order to lure cupcake carrying mice, you'll need either Cupcake Colby or a new type of cheese called Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby. The extra sweet version of Cupcake Colby will attract the various cupcake-themed mice more often and is the only way to attract the new Cupcake Camo and Cupcake Candle Thief mice!

  • Cupcake Colby
