==== Spring Egg Hunt! ====
 
<p>Spring is here, and with the season comes the Spring Egg Hunt!</p>
 
<p>The Chocolate Factory doors have been re-opened after last year's hare-razing events, and the sweet aroma of brewing chocolate has attracted some of the egg-loving mice of the land. A vast supply of eggs, old and new, have been stolen and carried off into Gnawnia and beyond. What's worse, some of the more artistic mice were tempted by the reserves of egg paint, and all we've got left are a bunch of plain ol' white eggs!</p>
 
<p>Get to the Chocolate Factory, catch mice carrying Marshmallow Monterey, find the missing egg paint to finish off the Spring Eggs, and find out whose responsible for the mischief at the factory!</p>
 
<p>Factory doors close on April 18, but it might take a while to clean up all the bonus eggs...</p>
 
<p><b>EGGS!</b></p>
 
<p>Paint all your Spring Eggs, find the Eggscavator, then head off to find the mice carrying the bonus eggs across the land!</p>
 
<p>When you find an egg, visit the Special section of your inventory to smash it open!</p>
 
==== Paint, Paint, Paint! ====
 
<p><b>Marshmallow Monterey</b></p>
 
<p>Hunt in the Chocolate Factory to find mice carrying Marshmallow Monterey. This strangely sweet 'n' peppery cheese has an aroma and flavour only a mouse could love.</p>
 
<p><b>Egg Paint</b></p>
 
<p>Use Marshmallow Monterey to find mice carrying paint for each of the unpainted eggs. Use Dark Chocolate Charms from the Charm Shoppe in the area to attract a more sinister mouse who sometimes carries more paint.</p>
 
<p>The Golden Egg is the most-coveted of all of the Spring Eggs, so the mice won't give up any Golden Paint until all the other paints are exhausted. The sight of that fully-painted Golden Egg is sure to attract the troublemaker responsible!</p>
 
<p><b>Eggscavator</b></p>
 
<p>We saw a mouse carrying this new egg-hunting tool, and it could prove quite useful for hunting down all of the bonus eggs! Finish painting the eggs, find the mouse responsible for all this trouble, and get that Eggscavator so you can begin your Spring Egg Hunt!</p>
 
<p>When you find an egg, visit the Special section of your inventory to smash it open! Your Eggscavator will keep a record of eggs you've found, old and new, smashed or intact.</p>
 
==== Eggy Charms ====
 
<p><b>Eggstra Charms</b></p>
 
<p>The incredible magic of these charms will duplicate any bonus eggs dropped by mice, giving you TWO eggs instead of just one when used with the Eggscavator. Use Marshmallow Monterey in the Chocolate Factory Charm Shoppe to create these charms, or pickup an Egg Hunting Kit which comes with 5 charms and plenty of Marshmallow Monterey. After the Spring Egg Hunt is over, any eggcess Eggstra Charms can be smashed with your Hunter's Hammer to create Dark Chocolate Charms.</p>
 
<p><b>Dark Chocolate Charms</b></p>
 
<p>Made of 88% coco and 12% evil, this sinister piece of confectionery will attract spooky mice when hunting at the Chocolate Factory and help you paint eggs faster! Before you arm this charm make sure your trap is properly prepared and that you're up for a challenge! Buy some from the Charm Shoppe!</p>
 
==== Spring Gifts and Gift Eggs for Friends! ====
 
<p><b>Gift Egg</b></p>
 
<p>These eggs have a variety of items inside to help you in your hunting endeavours. I wonder what's inside this one... Send your friend a Gift Egg this Spring! Remember, they'll still need to paint this egg themselves at the Chocolate Factory!</p>
 
<p><b>Scrambles!</b></p>
 
<p>Scrambles the Hunting Seer is full of sage hunting advice that will help you see the sunny side of hunting. When you're questioning your hunting strategy, just ask Scrambles for help. Make sure to consult Scrambles before sounding your horn. You never know what piece of advice you'll get from this cuddly little chicken.</p>
 
<p>Check them all out [http://www.mousehuntgame.com/canvas/gift.php here]!</p>
 
 
==== Spring Tournament ====
 
<p>Join a tournament while you're in the Chocolate Factory! Score tournament points while you paint your Spring Eggs!</p>
 
<p>Check them out [http://www.mousehuntgame.com/canvas/tournamentlist.php here]!</p>
 
==== Spring Gift Basket and Egg Hunting Kit ====
 
<p><b>Spring Gift Basket</b></p>
 
<p>This gift basket is filled with yummy goodies to help you during the Spring Egg Hunt! Inside you'll find 80 Marshmallow Monterey and 20 Dark Chocolate Charms. It also provides the Lucky Golden Shield for 1 month when opened. Buy one and give it to a friend!</p>
 
<p><b>Egg Hunting Kit</b></p>
 
<p>This eggy kit is choco-full with tons of eggy goodness to really help you during the Spring Egg Hunt! Inside you'll find 200 Marshmallow Monterey, 100 Dark Chocolate Charms, and 5 Eggstra Charms, which give you TWO eggs instead of just one when used with the Eggscavator.</p>
 
<p><b>Marshmallow Monterey</b></p>
 
<p>This strange flavour is one of the most bizarre, foul tasting flavours of cheese ever made! Despite its vile peppery-sweet flavour, the Spring Mice just love this bait! Arm some of this cheese and one is sure to come your way...</p>

<p>Hey hunters,</p>
