====How to Boost Your Prize Power====
 
 
 
<p>Prize Mice can be found in all locations except the Meadow. You can encounter a prize mouse by sounding your horn, or a friend sounding the horn and bringing you on a hunt. Boosting your Prize Power will increase your odds of encountering a prize mouse. You can boost your Prize Power by using any of four new special items that are available as gifts and loot. These items are: Lucky Coins, Lucky Horseshoes, Lucky Underwear and Beginner's Luck.</p>
 
 
 
<p>'''[[Lucky Coin]]s'''<br/>
 
Found as loot dropped by any mouse. Visit a friend's profile and "toss" the coin into their Wishing Well and receive '''+3 Prize Power''' for both you and your friend. If your friend has less than five Prize Power, you'll both get '''+5 Prize Power'''. Alternatively, you can visit the "Special" section of your inventory and "rub" the coin to receive '''+1 Prize Power'''. You can hold a maximum of ten coins in your inventory, so make sure to check back often and use them up!</p>
 
 
 
<p>'''[[Lucky Horseshoe]]s'''<br/>
 
Available as a gift of the day during the giveaway. Visit the "Special" section of your inventory to "toss" a horseshoe for a '''+3 Prize Power''' boost.</p>
 
 
 
<p>'''[[Lucky Underwear]]'''<br/>
 
Available as a "Gift of the Day" during the giveaway. Visit the "Special" section of your inventory to "wear" these amazing underpants for a '''+5 Prize Power''' boost.</p>
 
 
 
<p>'''[[Beginner's Luck]]'''<br/>
 
If a friend joins the hunt as a new recruit, you'll receive some of their Beginner's Luck when they sound their horn for their very first time! Visit the "Special" section of your inventory and open a vial for a '''+8 Prize Power boost'''.</p>
 
 
 
====How Prize Power and Catching Prize Mice Works====
 
 
 
<p>Prize Power increases your chances of encountering a prize mouse, as well as increases the chances of encountering the more valuable Prize Mice. Treasurer Mice can be encountered with very little prize power, while High Roller require more prize power.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Your Prize Power resets upon catching a prize mouse, as well as at the very end of the giveaway. As an added bonus, should you encounter a prize mouse and fail to capture it, you'll receive '''+1 Prize Power''' to help you encounter another!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Should you catch a prize mouse and win '''[[King's Credits]]''', you will be unable to encounter that same type of prize mouse for 24 hours to both give other hunters a chance to win and increase your chances of encountering one of the other Prize Mice. Should you catch a Mobster or Leprechaun, you will be unable to encounter another one for 90 days.</p>
 
 
 
====Prizes To Win:====
 
 
 
<p>Catching a Mobster Mouse will win you varying amounts of '''[[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]]'''. The cheese will be directly added to your inventory.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Catching a Leprechaun Mouse will win you varying amounts of '''cash'''! That's right, REAL MONEY! All cash prizes are paid via PayPal, or can be redeemed for SUPER|brie+.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Catching one of the other Prize Mice will earn you '''King's Credits'''. These sepcial coins can be exchanged at the King's Royal Prize Shoppe for a variety of in-game items including crafting ingredients, potions, SUPER|brie+, the Lucky Golden Shield and new trap skins! These same prizes will be available again during the next giveaway. None of the new, unique items are limited edition.</p>
 
 
 
<p>'''See something you don't have enough King's Credits for?''' Don't worry! You'll be able to save your King's Credits for the next King's Giveaway event!</p>
 
 
 
====What are the New Trap Skins?====
 
 
 
[[Grungy DeathBot]] [[Fluffy DeathBot]] [[Ninja Ambush Trap]]
 
<p>Brace yourself for ground-breaking style! '''Trap Skins''' change your trap's '''appearence''' -- not the stats. They make a great way to show some unique style while hunting! The skins are available as prizes in the Giveaway and the Daily Raffle. They are also tradable at the Marketplace with some also available to donators.</p>
 
 
 
<p>To apply a Trap Skin, first dismantle the respective trap with your Hunter's Hammer and craft the resulting parts with the skin.</p>
 
 
 
====Where do I Start?====
 
 
 
<p>Start hunting for '''[[Lucky Coin]]s''' to "toss" into the [[Wishing Wells]] on your friends' profiles! You can use up to ten wells a day, as well as "rub" any extra coins you find to get even more Prize Power! Load up on '''[[Lucky Horseshoe]]s''' and '''[[Lucky Underwear]]''' -- clicking the "wear all" for button Lucky Underwear not only gives you Prize Power, but makes a bold fashion statement as well ... stylin'! Remember: You need to visit the "Special" section of your inventory to activate these items and raise your Prize Power. Will you use them all at once? Or space out how often you use them? Plan out your strategy, Hunters!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Watch the news ticker at the top of the game for a few hints and tips. Good luck out there and happy hunting!</p>

====Halloween Leaves Gnawnia====
 
 
<p>The Halloween event has come to an end. We hope everyone had spooky amounts of fun exploring the Haunted 'Terrortories' and hunting the sinister Gourdborg mouse!</p>
 
 
<p>If you were in the Haunted Terrortories at the time they were closed, you'll now find yourself in a vacant lot where there are no special mice, items or shops. The empty lot is to allow those who were at the event at the time it ended to safely travel away. The King's guards will escort out any stragglers in a few days.</p>
 
  
<p>We've been seeing a lot of great feedback on the [http://forum.hitgrab.com/forumdisplay.php?1-MouseHunt forums] about this event that will help plan future ones. If you have yet to visit the forums, please stop by to check out what your fellow hunters are saying and make your own voice heard!</p>

==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====

Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
====Giveaway this November!====
 
 
 
<p>The King is planning a November Giveaway Event!!! Lots of Mobster and Leprechaun mice will be on the loose worth SUPER|brie+ and real cash prizes. We've taken feedback from past giveaways into account and are adding a few "mini" prize mice worth in-game items, new unique looking traps and more! We hope these new mice will provide something to win for everyone!</p>
 
 
 
 
 
<p>Hope you had a blast this October! Look forward to an exciting November!</p>

<blockquote>
 
<p>Hey hunters! A new section has been added to the gifts page where you can view any gifts you have received but have yet to claim. This new section should prove handy for times when you can no longer view the gift notification, or if you've reached the daily gift claim limit and want to claim a gift that you were sent a day or two ago.</p>
 
  
<p>Halloween has come and gone and the Haunted Terrortories are about to leave Gnawnia! Good luck if you're still chasing down the sinister Gourdborg Mouse. We hope everyone had fun during the event and encourage hunters to visit the forums and give us suggestions, opinions and feedback we can use when preparing future events.</p>

=== Halloween Trick AND Treat Event! ===
 
''{{date|20|October|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Attention all MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
<p>An insane mouse has proclaimed itself to be the King of Halloween and has setup a spooky obstacle to protect itself from hunters! The King needs your help to explore this new haunted area and track down the pesky mouse at the heart of it all!</p>
+
----
  
<p>In order to fully explore the Haunted Terrortories of Gnawnia, you'll need plenty of Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. You can collect these two new types of cheese by visiting up to 10 of your friends' hunter profiles a day to go Trick-or-Treating. Just click the "Trick-or-Treat" button to discover if your friend decided to trick, or treat you! You'll receive Ghoulgonzola for a trick, and Candy Corn Cheese for a treat. You can also collect both of these flavours of cheese by hunting mutated or Hollowhead mice at the Haunted Terrortories.</p>
 
 
<p>During the Halloween event Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn cheese carry a very high attraction rate in not only the Haunted Terrortories, but many other hunting locations in the Kingdom. Their ability to attract mice is closely tied to the magic of the Haunted Terroroties, meaning they will be slightly less powerful when the Halloween event ends.</p>
 
 
<p>When you arrive at the Haunted Terrortories you'll notice two new progress bars on your heads-up-display. These progress bars are filled by catching mice using Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. Trick AND treat enough mice to fill both bars in your current location to attract mice from the next! You TRICK mice using Ghoulgonzola and TREAT them with Candy Corn Cheese.</p>
 
 
<p>You'll have to trick and treat your way through the Corn Maze, into the Haunted Manor and finally to the Pumpkin Patch where the Trick, Treat and Gourdborg mice await you!</p>
 
 
<p>What sort of haunted loot waits for you at the end of your journey? With a little farming knowledge, an evil pumpkin seed from the Gourdborg mouse can be used to create a spooky (and shadowy) limited edition trap that will let you hunt with fearsome Halloween style! Rumor even has it that with some creative crafting an even more fearsome trap can be constructed...</p>
 
 
<p>There's more Halloween fun yet! Gifting is up and running and features a limited edition Pumpkin Treat Basket to celebrate Halloween! Who knows what treats could be inside?</p>
 
 
<p>Let the trick-or-treating begin! Have fun and happy haunting MouseHunters!</p>
