=== The Living Garden Has Opened!===
 
''{{date|14|November|2012}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
====The Living Garden Has Opened!====
 
<p>The long-forbidden Living Garden has finally been opened to the public again, but something sinister is going on! The wild and exotic plants and flowers of the Living Garden have been overrun by strange mice exhibiting stranger behaviour...</p>
 
====Living Garden====
 
<p>The tiny mice have adapted the environment around them to their purpose and have strapped on various pieces of plants as weapons and armour! Even stranger, they've begun hoarding tiny glowing plants called Garden Essences and protecting them at all costs.</p>
 
====Lost City====
 
<p>Nearby, a town in the desert has fallen under a terrible curse and become lost between worlds! The mice that inhabit the town have all been turned incorporeal, ghostly, and fierce, but they too are stockpiling Garden Essences for their own reasons.</p>
 
====Sand Dunes====
 
<p>In between the two lies the Sand Dunes of the desert, where Grubling Mice race from scrap of food to scrap of food, gorging themselves as best they can and making the difficult desert life ever more challenging for all the other mice. And as before, all the mice here are collecting and protecting Garden Essences. What is going on?</p>
 
====Wild New Mice!====
 
====Strawberry Hotcakes Mouse====
 
<p>This little firebrand is simultaneously the most dangerous and most helpful mouse in the Living Garden. Threatening her friends? A FLOOD OF HOT SAUCE. Food too bland? A FLOOD OF HOT SAUCE.
 
  
Her peppergun has incredible range, and the pepper reservoir on her back seems to never run dry, so don't try to outrange or outlast her. At best you can hope to surprise her, but act quickly because when surprised she unleashes A FLOOD OF HOT SAUCE.</p>
+
NEWSPOST OPENING LINE(S)
====Ethereal Enchanter Mouse====
 
<p>There's some debate as to why the Lost City was lost between dimensions, but the actions of certain mice are definitely suspect. This mouse was known to dabble in all kinds of unsavory arcane activities and rituals. However, since he was trapped like everyone else, suspicion quickly waned.</p>
 
====Grubling Herder Mouse====
 
<p>Grubling Herders are a solemn and insular group, trained from birth to direct and control the voracious Grubling mice away from vital crops. They hail from a place of shadow known only as "Muddy'Deeb", and dedicate their lives to ensuring the rampage of the Grubling mice remains under their control.
 
  
The Grublings must flow!</p>
+
<blockquote>
  
====Garden Essences====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
<p>Small, glowing plants, these Garden Essences are jealously guarded by the mice. They certainly contain great power, but how best to use it? Make sure to check out your new "Book of Living Recipes" when you get to the Living Garden to see all the different things you can make from them, but be ready to experiment to find out exactly what combines with what.</p>
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
====Minigames!====
 
<p>Every new area has its own new minigame associated with it. Attentive players will be able to dispel curses, collect water for Thirsty mice, and watch out for the Grubling stampedes! While not mandatory, paying careful attention and playing these minigames will make it a lot easier to collect Garden Essences and craft fantastic new recipes!
 
  
To play these minigames, visit the shops in each area to purchase and use cool new charms with unique effects!</p>
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
====And much, much more!====
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
<p>Of course this isn't all that's going on in the Living Garden, Sand Dunes, and Lost City, but you'll have to explore and experiment to find out more! There's a terrible secret hiding in amongst the plants and mice, and world-changing lore waiting to be uncovered! Only dedication, hard work, and a mountain of patience will serve you in uncovering the secrets of... The [[Living Garden]] </p>

<p>In a cloud of noxious gasses and bellowing a mighty roar, the Swamp Thang Mouse has burst forth from the Living Garden and charged headlong into Gnawnia! Finding the Haunted Terrortories there waiting for him, he kicked Mousevina from her throne and has settled in.</p>

=== [{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=828 THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!] ===
 +
''{{date|19|March|2024}}''
  
<p>Gathering trick and treat cheese in Gnawnia is a familiar tradition. Each day, hunters may visit up to 10 friends and receive some bait. Before you visit others, be sure to [http://{{MHdomain}}/profile.php visit your own profile] and choose what type of cheese you're handing out! If you find yourself getting low on cheese, you can also hunt at the Terrortories using Swiss, Brie, Gouda or SUPER|brie+ to attract Hollowhead Mice that drop Halloween Cheese. Additionally, you may find it inside Pumpkin Treat Baskets which you can [http://{{MHdomain}}/gift.php send as gifts] to friends!</p>
+
<blockquote>
 
 
<p>The Haunted Terrortories consists of three areas: The Corn Maze, Haunted Manor and the Pumpkin Patch. You must both trick AND treat enough mice in your current area to begin attracting mice from the next. Your trick and treat progress will be displayed while hunting in the Haunted Terrortories.</p>
 
  
<p>Are you an experienced hunter looking to hunt more challenging and rewarding mice? Visit the Charm Shoppe at the Haunted Terrortories and purchase Spooky Charms which, when armed, will attract more fearsome mice worth greater rewards!</p>

'''Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!'''<br>
 +
New Eggs and New Rewards!
  
==== Spooky Rewards ====
+
==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
<p>The Swamp Thang Mouse has a variety of goodies to plunder this year! A terrifying new trap, a chance at a haunted new map, and some... scraps of paper? I'm sure they'll be useful for <b>something</b>...</p>
+
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!
  
<p>While visiting friends and hunting your way toward the Swamp Thang Mouse, you may also find a few morsels of Halloween Candy, and if you're especially lucky you may even come across rare Cobwebs. These Halloween Candies and Cobwebs can be exchanged at the various Haunted Terrortories shops to purchase a wide variety of exciting loot, including fantastic charms and never-before-seen trap skins!</p>
+
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
  
==== Customize MouseHunt with Themes! ====
+
==== Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura! ====
<p>Look on your profile and you'll see a new button labelled "Select Theme". Click on it to launch MouseHunt's new theme chooser, where you can pick a special theme to change the entire appearance of your Hunter's Journal! These themes will be shown on your Camp, as well as your Profile for all to see!</p>
+
Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!
  
<p>You can unlock the Golden Shield theme by having the Golden Shield, and the Hallowe'en Theme by gathering Hallowe'en Theme Scraps and crafting them together into the Completed Hallowe'en Theme. The first scrap can be found on the Swamp Thang Mouse, but the other two will require some investigating to find!</p>
+
Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.
  
==== Halloween Baskets and New Skins ====
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">'''An Eggstra Important Note'''
<p>Looking for some spooky gifts to give to friends? Or perhaps you have a sweet tooth yourself and want to dive into a goodie bag of treats! For the Halloween season, the King is offering a few special haunting supplies, and a boatload of brand-new skins!</p>
+
The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!
<br/>
+
'''Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.'''</div>
<b>Halloween Basket</b><br/>
 
A Hallowe'en gift basket perfect for giving to someone special. The basket contains 75 SUPER|brie+, 25 Candy Corn Cheese, and 25 Ghoulgonzola!
 
  
<b>Spooky Supply Kit</b><br/>
+
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
This slightly haunted kit will help you hunt the more fearsome mice of the Haunted Terrotories! Inside you'll find 100 SUPER|brie+, 50 Spooky Charms, 25 Ghoulgonzola, and 25 Candy Corn!
 
  
<b>Jumbo Halloween Goodie Bag</b><br/>
+
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.
This spookily-themed bag is JUST bursting with SUPER|brie+ and Halloween Cheese! Mixed inside, you'll also find a few pieces of Halloween Candy with which to satisfy your sweet tooth!
 
  
<b>Steam Maw</b><br/>
+
==== The Journey for the M1000 has begun! ====
A combination of flaming-hot Ethereal Charcoal and Eldritch Fog ensure that this version of the Steam Laser Mk. III is no less effective, but far spookier.
+
Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the '''M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case'''.
  
<b>Lovecraft Shelf</b><br/>
+
Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on '''April 16, 2024'''.
Some books are written about Eldritch Horrors, some books are written by Eldritch Horrors, and some books literally contain Eldritch Horrors. Be very careful when setting up, walking near, or thinking about this trap.
 
  
<br/>
+
Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.
<b>Halloween is here!</b>
 
*Setup your hunter profile to hand out treats to friends!
 
*Visit friends and collect Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn
 
*Hunt with your Halloween cheese at the Haunted Terrortories
 
*Earn a new trap, exciting loot, trap skins and more!

=== The Leprechaun Has Returned! ===
+
You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting '''April 16, 2024''' when the M1000 will be activated in the '''Table of Contents'''!
''{{date|10|October|2012}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
==== The Leprechaun Has Returned! ====
 
<p>The rumours are true! More and more Leprechaun Mouse sightings have been reported in the last week, and it looks like they are here to stay! What's more, hunters can expect to see even more Leprechaun mice in the coming week, all carrying great rewards and each with a chance to win a '''real cash prize'''!</p>
 
  
<p>Until Wednesday, October 17, there will be more prize mice and Leprechaun mice than usual roaming the lands! When this little streak of luck is over, the Leprechaun mice and other prize mice will be harder to find, but they are here to stay!</p>
+
Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming '''School of Sorcery''' as well as a powerful new aura: the '''Millenniaura'''!
  
<p>Use common cheese (Cheddar, Brie, Gouda, SUPER|brie+, or anything not overly special, rare, or difficult to obtain) to attract a prize mouse to your trap, but be warned for they are tough and will put up a fight! If you catch one, you have a chance at winning a '''real cash prize'''!
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.</div>
</p>
 
  
==== Mystery Pot of Gold ====
+
==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
<p>Every Leprechaun mouse carries with it a Mystery Pot of Gold. If you manage to attract and catch one of these elusive mice, you'll be guaranteed this wonderful prize! What's inside? Tons of GOLD, of course! Along with a bunch of SUPER|brie+ and some Ultimate Luck Charms.</p>
+
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
  
<p>And sometimes, at the bottom, there's an even greater prize lying under all that gold!</p>
+
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will ''always'' drop Chocolatonium when caught.
  
<p>Will you be one of these lucky hunters?</p>
+
In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…
<br/>
 
<b>The Leprechaun Has Returned!</b>
 
*The Leprechaun has returned and is here to stay!
 
*More-than-usual prize mice and Leprechaun mice until October 17
 
*Use common cheese to attract a prize mouse
 
*Leprechaun mice will drop a Mystery Pot of Gold when caught
 
*There's a chance of a '''real cash prize''' inside these Pots of Gold!
 
  
<p>[http://{{MHdomain}}/travel.php Hunt for prize mice with regular bait across the land!]</p>
+
==== New Year, New Eggs! ====
-- {{MHP|501789245|Giorgio Sintichakis}}
+
There are '''11 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====
 +
'''HOW TO PLAY''': There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.
  
<p>Along with that, with great help from the community, the new King's Gauntlet tournaments are now ready to go! Look for one on the Tournament Listings page!</p>
+
These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, '''now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg''' (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.
  
<p>And finally, the checkout shop has had a much-needed massive overhaul, allowing us to bring back the beloved kits from the past that just couldn't fit anymore!</p>
+
For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

<p>However, all this is good news for treasure chests! With the increased rarity of relics, all the Treasure Chests now have more and more varied treasure in them!</p>
+
Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.
  
<p>Harder chests will reward <b>more</b> points and gold than before, with Arduous maps being significantly improved to balance out the incredible difficulty of the mice required. That means hunters will earn more rewards for their hard work!</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; padding: 0.416em">As of '''April 16''', mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.
  
<p>So keep hunting, hunters! Treasure hunting has never been more rewarding than now!</p>

As of '''April 23''', any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.
  
====King's Gauntlet Tourneys====

As of '''April 30''', The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.
<p>Due to popular demand, the King is proud to announce the grand opening of the King's Gauntlet tournaments! He reached out to the many hunters in the land for aid and assistance, and the resulting tournaments are entirely community created!</p>
 
  
<p>Wait, tournaments? That's right! There are two tournaments for the King's Gauntlet – one for the higher floors, and one for the lower ones! No matter where you are through the Gauntlet, you should have ample opportunity to play and win!</p>

THE SPRING EGG HUNT HAS BEGUN!

19 March 2024

Eggsplore and Eggsperience the Season!
New Eggs and New Rewards!

Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season!

One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features 11 brand new eggs, loads of chocolate fondue, and a very special reward found on Lady Laura’s final shelf that will begin a journey extending beyond the Spring Egg Hunt!

To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!

Eggstra Fondue: A Decadent Delight from Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, the esteemed chocolatier, has outdone herself this year with an exquisite addition to her culinary repertoire: Eggstra Fondue. This divine chocolate fondue crafted with a celestial symphony of flavor and texture promises an indulgent gustatory experience like no other!

Taking over the role of Eggstra Charms from past Egg Hunts, Eggstra Fondue brings a new level of decadence to the Spring Egg Hunt by freeing up the charm slot to strategically aid in your egg-hunting endeavours! Activated through the event HUD, this luxurious fondue produces Chocolatonium and doubles any eggs dropped and produces extra Chocolatonium for each egg looted! When paired with the Chocolate Bar Base, it has the rare chance to triple the eggs dropped instead of just doubling them.

An Eggstra Important Note

The Eggstra ingredient used in Eggstra Charms and Eggstra Charge Charms from previous Egg Hunts has gone stale. These charms can be smashed with the Hunter's Hammer to reactivate the Eggstra ingredient and convert them into Eggstra Fondue!

Eggstra Fondue is NOT safe for consumption and should be handled with protective equipment.

Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have once again ambushed Lady Laura's caravan and stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the Spring Egg Hunt mice roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!

Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.

The Journey for the M1000 has begun!

Lady Laura has an extra special surprise this year! Unlocking the final shelf in her Chocolate Shop will reward the M1000 Team Research Expedition Scroll Case.

Completing this challenging treasure map with up to four friends is the first step towards hunting the M1000 mouse when it activates on April 16, 2024.

Inside the M1000 Team treasure chest, you'll find another, much shorter scroll case that can only be completed alone.

Completing the M1000 Solo Pursuit Treasure Map will reward the only cheese powerful enough to attract the M1000: Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese!

You will be able to use this valuable new cheese starting April 16, 2024 when the M1000 will be activated in the Table of Contents!

Catching the M1000 will reward the map piece for the upcoming School of Sorcery as well as a powerful new aura: the Millenniaura!

The M1000 Team Expedition maps are permanent new additions to the game! Hunters can hold onto their scroll cases to complete them later and will be able to purchase additional M1000 Team Scroll Cases from the Cartographer in the upcoming School of Sorcery.

Spring Mice and Spring Eggs

The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice EVERYWHERE in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!

The spring event mice all come exclusively from bonus hunts meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.

In the midst of this Chocolatonium frenzy, some special mice have relocated to new, permanent homes within Gnawnia. Certain mice with a history of love and heartache are waiting to be discovered among a few different locations in the kingdom, and may be the key to finding one of the new eggs…

New Year, New Eggs!

There are 11 new eggs to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them to collect their bonus loot? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!

Golden Goose Egg Egg Max Loot Multiplier Egg Love Egg

The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned!

HOW TO PLAY: There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.

These eggs will contain loot appropriate for areas in the Kingdom tied to hunter ranks, now including the Bountiful Beanstalk in the Tier 5 Egg (Archduke/Archduchess and up). You can find a few Eggsweeper Shovels in each of this year's Spring Eggs including a whopping 60 inside the Golden Egg! You can also find them in your Daily Loyalty Chest, Lady Laura will gift you some for unlocking each of the shelves in her Chocolate Shop, or you can purchase them from the Premium Shop.

For even more eggstraordinary rewards, dust your Eggsweeper field with Magical Fertilizer before you start the mini-game! All the eggs found in a fertilized field will eggsplode with even more amazing loot!

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

As of April 16, mice will no longer drop Chocolatonium and eggs will no longer be found in the Kingdom.

As of April 23, any Chocolatonium that remains in a hunter's inventory will decay into nothingness.

As of April 30, The Eggsweeper Mini-Game will close.

Make sure to spend it all at the Chocolate Shop while you can!
