==== Happy birthday... to US! ====
+
==== Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon ====
March 7, 2022 will mark the 14th year of MouseHunting! To celebrate the occasion, the King is reopening the doors of his secret SUPER|brie+ Factory for everyone to see. Hunters can get a behind-the-scenes look at where and how the succulent SUPER|brie+ cheese is made. Surely swinging the doors open to a factory pumping out the Kingdom's tastiest cheese known to mice can't cause any problems... right?
+
The travelling spice merchant Jaqueline, or "Big Jaq" as she's known to friends, has once again setup her Spice Shack in the Queso Canyon! Visit any General Store in the areas of the Queso Canyon region to browse her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available.
  
While taking in the sights, hunters are asked to kindly setup camp to help defend the factory and recover assembly line parts that have been picked up by the invading mice. There's SUPER|brie+, the Anniversary Aura, Party Charms, and more to earn!
+
While Big Jaq is visiting, there are also some unique loot drops to find! Boost your Bland Queso collection by recovering Kegs of Bland Queso from mice throughout the Queso Canyon region.
  
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; margin: 1em 0">

==== Kegs of Bland Queso ====
<div style="font-size: 115%>'''Start your factory tour today!'''<br></div>'''The SUPER|brie+ Factory will close its doors on March 22'''</div>
+
Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (she won't mind you keeping the kegs for yourself). The kegs come in three sizes and you can use Wild Tonic to shake loose '''double''' the kegs when mice drop them!
  
==== Mastering Cheese Production ====
+
*Small
Pump cheese through the assembly line of the SUPER|brie+ Factory by hunting mice with either Coggy Colby or Speedy Coggy Colby. Arming either of these cheeses will attract the rambunctious rodents wreaking havoc in the factory and capturing them will allow the delicious cheese to flow!
+
:'''250 Bland Queso'''
  
You can collect Coggy Colby by hunting with any standard cheese type at the factory. If you're looking to speed up your cheese production, you can use Speedy Coggy Colby which allows you to pump an additional 10 litres per catch! Speedy Coggy Colby can be earned as a reward for completing the SUPER|brie+ Factory Adventure or purchased from the Premium Shop.

Take cheese production to revolutionary levels of industrialization by using Factory Repair Charms! These mechanical wonders will activate your pump and add an additional +10 liters per catch, even if you don't have Coggy Colby armed. Additionally, Factory Repair Charms have a chance of attracting the Factory Repair Technician Mouse who drops a generous quantity of factory repair parts! Visit the Charm Shoppe where you can use excess factory repair parts to purchase more of these useful charms.
+
'''150 Wild Tonic'''
 +
DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic!
  
{| style="width: 100%; border-spacing: 1em"
+
These Kegs of Queso can be collected '''anywhere in the region''', including the Queso Geyser! Fortunately, the kegs are heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safely float in the liquid hot queso at the geyser. As a result, the kegs will appear as loot drops directly from mice and not in nests.

Once the cheese is pumped all the way through the assembly line you'll encounter Vincent, The Magnificent! Year after year this mouse stakes claim to the SUPER|brie+ Factory as their own personal cheese production facility!
+
==== Spice Leaf and Cork Material Exchange ====
  
You'll need to capture Vincent before the SUPER|brie+ reward crate can be claimed. Capturing Vincent will also reward a Golden Punch Ticket which you can spend at the various shops of the SUPER|brie+ Factory on a selection of enticing goodies.
+
Big Jaq has expanded her wares and offers a Spice Leaf and Cork Material Exchange! You can exchange up your Nachore, Spice Leaves, AND Cork Materials for higher tier items! Make sure you don't miss out!
