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.
  
It's a King's Giveaway! From now until '''August 11''' there are more prize mice on the loose and 10 Mystery Prize Packs to open! Hunters ranked Recruit and above can capture prize mice '''anywhere in the Kingdom''' to loot King's Credits, SUPER|brie+, and valuable Prize Keys! Each time you encounter a mouse you have a chance of attracting a prize mouse as a bonus hunt which does not consume any cheese and will appear as an additional hunt in your journal.
+
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.
  
====King's Prize Keys====

'''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.
  
Every mouse you capture during the King's Giveaway has a chance to drop a King's Prize Key and Prize Mice will '''always''' drop a key! These keys can be used to open one of 10 Mystery Prize Packs via a banner located in the camp section of the game. These 10 packs contain the same prizes for everyone but which prize is in which pack is random for each hunter. Inside you'll find all sorts of valuable prizes including SUPER|brie+, King's Credits, Baitkeep Charms, Regal Charms, and even the coveted Rainbow Scroll Case!
+
'''Glitchpaw Mice on the Loose'''
  
Once you've opened all 10 Mystery Prize Packs you can continue collecting Prize Keys to open Mini Prize Packs containing small rewards such as a single Regal Charm, a handful of Gold, or a small quantity of King's Credits.

Glitchpaw mice have been spotted on the loose! These computer-snacking, bug-causing, networking-clogging vermin can be encountered in a variety of locations throughout the Kingdom and carry bonus loot! Glitchpaws will go back into hiding on Friday, February 26.
  
Mice will continue to drop King's Prize Keys throughout the King's Giveaway. However, the keys can only be used for a short time. Shortly after the giveaway ends, excess keys will be removed from your inventory. So make sure to '''use them as you loot them!'''

These mice can be encountered in Balack's Cove, Acolyte Realm, Bazaar, Calm Clearing, Cape Clawed, Catacombs, Claw Shot City, Derr Dunes, Muridae Market, Dojo, Dracono, Elub Shore, Forbidden Grove, Gnarled Tree, Jungle of Dread, Habour, Laboratory, King's Gauntlet, Meadow, Lagoon, Meditation Room, Mousoleum, Mountain, Pinnacle Chamber, Seasonal Garden, S.S.

Capturing '''Treasurer''', '''Snooty''', or '''High Roller''' mice will earn you King's Credits which can be spent at the King's Arms or King's Cart. The King has added a few new items available for King's Credits: Bland Queso, Gauntlet Elixir, and Cork Bark.

Should you be extraordinarily lucky enough to capture the rare Leprechaun Mouse it will most often drop a Mystery Satchel of Gold containing a healthy amount of Gold along with some potent charms and SUPER|brie+! On more rare occasions, the Leprechaun Mouse will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold which contains even more Gold, SUPER|brie+, and the chance of a cash prize!
 
 
 
====Regal Charms & Special Deals====
 
The King's Giveaway is a rare occasion where the King makes available Regal Charms which are normally reserved for traps throughout the castle to protect the King from would-be mouse assassins.
 
  
You'll find a variety of these impressive charms within the various Prize Packs and they can be purchased and sold on the Marketplace. Regal Charms can also be exchanged at the King's Arms or King's Cart to "upgrade" them into the more powerful Super and Extreme Regal Charms.

Prize mice and other "bonus" encounters work slightly differently than a normal encounter to avoid these mice interfering with normal area progression. For example: Bonus encounters do not propel your submarine in the Sunken City, break streaks in the Warpath, affect positioning in the Valour Rift Gauntlet Tower, etc.
 
  
Prize mice and bonus encounters being exempt from area-specific gameplay also causes them to be exempt from area-specific or other "special" trap bonuses and effects. As a rule of thumb, any trap bonus you see under "special" in the Camp page trap selector will not apply during a bonus encounter with a prize mouse.
