====Recent Maintenance and Downtime====
The Lucky Mouse has arrived at the SUPER|brie+ Factory where it can be found holding onto and rubbing the factory parts for good luck! The arrival of the Lucky Mouse has also brought a +5 Luck Bonus to each hunter, throughout the Kingdom! Until '''Thursday, March 19''', hunters can encounter the Lucky Mouse at various locations in the Kingdom, including the SUPER|brie+ Factory where it will drop Factory Parts in addition to the variety of Luck Charms it drops everywhere.

Today shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end the game began to experience issues including trap setups and hunt results changing. Upon the issue coming to our attention we confirmed there was an issue and decided to put the game into unscheduled maintenance due to the severity of the problem.
  
 +
The dev team got to work investigating what the cause of problem was. After some time we identified a network configuration issue isolated to a group of servers that were brought online shortly after the Lunar New Year event came to an end. This network issue caused connectivity problems between the web server and a data server causing the problem with trap setups not saving or changing.
  
'''The Lucky Mouse can be found in the following locations:'''

'''We have now removed these faulty servers which appears to have corrected the issue'''
 +
Thanks for your patience and understanding while the team investigated the network issue at our hosting provider. Unfortunately during the period of instability hunters may have experienced strange events or side effects such as their trap setup or hunt results changing. If you experienced a major issue please contact us via support with a screenshot of the issue and description of what you experienced. We appreciate your patience as our response times may be slower due to an increased quantity of support requests.

<blockquote>
 
 
 
====Mobile App Android Requirements Changing====
 
An upcoming update to the MouseHunt Android app will upgrade the framework the app is built on to improve performance and incorporate important security updates into the app. As part of the upgrade, the minimum supported Android version will change from Jelly Bean (4.1) to KitKat (4.4). This update will improve performance and stability and is required to continue to support some features such as the ability to sign in with Facebook.
 
 
 
''In terms of version numbers, the update will change the minimum supported version from Android v4.1 (API level 16 - Released in July 2012) to Android v4.4 (API level 19 - Released in October 2013).''
 
 
 
At the moment, there are approximately 325 active devices which will no longer be able to download the MouseHunt app from Google Play once this update goes live. If you're one of these affected players, you'll still be able to use the app if it is installed on your device, however, you will not be able to download updates or reinstall the app should you remove it from your device. We understand it can be inconvenient and frustrating to no longer be able to update the app and, as such, held off on applying this update for as long as we could. However, we have reached the point where features of the app will no longer work unless we apply this type of update.
 
 
 
====Update Release and Availability====
 
We are currently wrapping up testing for the update and if testing continues to go well, plan to publish the update to Google Play during the week of March 23, 2020. This release may be postponed if any significant issues arise during testing.
 
 
 
Thank you for your understanding as we take this necessary step to maintain functionality, performance, and security for the mobile app. Happy hunting!

====The Source of SUPER|brie+====
+
====All Good Things...====
This year the King is continuing the newly introduced tradition of opening the doors to His Majesty's top-secret and super-hidden SUPER|brie+ Factory! The factory has once again been gently lifted from the ocean floor just east of the Harbour where its regular shipments of SUPER|brie+ are so often delivered via submersible.
+
The Lunar New Year event has come to an end but the Year of the Ox rages on!
 
 
As to be expected, revealing a massive factory which produces the lovely scent of the most flavourful bait in the Kingdom has attracted quite the rodent problem! Vincent the Magnificent is up to his old tricks and is looking to steal the shipments of cheese for himself. Tour the factory, help make a few repairs, and thwart Vincent's cheese heist!
 
 
 
The SUPER|brie+ Factory will close its doors on <s>'''March 24'''</s> '''March 25'''.
 
 
 
====Touring the Factory====
 
 
 
Upon arriving at the SUPER|brie+ Factory, you'll need to immediately pick a room to tour to help make repairs to the factory. There are four unique rooms to tour, each populated with unique mice. Recover factory parts from the meddling mice to restore the SUPER|brie+ Factory to full operation (and earn some hunting treats for your efforts!).
 
 
 
Get started by hunting with any standard type of cheese to attract mice that drop Coggy Colby Cheese. Using Coggy Colby will attract unique mice which drop various parts you can use to repair the damage the mice have done to the factory. Each mouse you capture with Coggy Colby will also safeguard the pumping operation, progressing delicious cheese through the production line and eventually producing a crate full of SUPER|brie+.
 
 
 
'''Mixing Room'''
 
 
 
'''Hunt in the Mixing Room to collect Mixing Rods'''
 
The Force Fighter Five mice have taken an interest in this room and have grabbed hold of the Mixing Rods being used. Upgrade this room to increase the quantity of SUPER|brie+ found in the reward crate.
 
 
 
'''Break Room'''
 
  
'''Hunt in the Break Room to collect Circuit Breaker Fuses'''
+
You are no longer able to light your lunar lantern candles or make any more progress on the reward track.
Various dance and party mice have taken over this room and are using the Circuit Breaker Fuses to power their boom boxes. Upgrade this room to distract the mice enough to have some of their cheesy lunch fall into the production line! Upgrading this room will add bonus cheese to the reward crate.
 
  
'''Pump Room'''
+
However, '''for one more week''', you will still be able to claim any unclaimed track rewards and spend any unused candles on the Lunar New Year specific items in the shops of stockpile locations.
  
'''Hunt in the Pump Room to collect Pressurized Pump Pipes'''
+
Any candles that you have not lit and choose not to spend '''will remain in your inventory''' along with any unused Dumpling Cheese and Nian Gao'da Cheese.
Various time-controlling mice have synchronized themselves with this room and are using the Pressurized Pump Pipes in their own study of time control. Upgrade this room to restore normal pressure in the production pipeline and pump more litres of cheese with each hunt, speeding up how quickly the reward crate fills.
 
  
'''Quality Assurance Room'''
+
====Still Working on an Event Map?====
 +
You still have the rest of this week to find those last few event mice to complete your map and earn its full rewards. Just head to any of the stockpile locations and arm your Dumpling Cheese or Nian Gao'da Cheese to attract the regular pool of Lunar New Year event mice.
  
'''Hunt in the QA Room to collect Quality Cog'''
+
Stockpile Locations
Various cupcake mice have setup shop in the QA Room where they're using the Quality Cogs to fine-tune and carefully calibrate their own Cupcake Recipes. Upgrade this room to increase efficiency and have more SUPER|brie+ convert into Empowered SUPER|brie+ within the reward crate.

The Factory Technician Mouse can be found wandering throughout the SUPER|brie+ Factory and occasionally lured to your trap if you have a Factory Repair Charm equipped. The tools encased within the charm will occasionally attract this repair-capable mouse which drops a larger quantity and variety of factory repair parts.
 
 
 
'''New this year:''' The carefully crafted gears within the Factory Repair Charm will crank up cheese production and add an additional +10 litres pumped with each capture of a mouse, even if you're not using Coggy Colby!
