=== Great Winter Snowball Fight! ===
+
</noinclude>
''{{date|10|December|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
'''The Great Winter Hunt''' has begun! The landing of the Festive Comet has long-marked the start of the Winter Hunt, however, this year the comet was instantly sculpted into a massive snow fort upon landing! Surely the mice that have fortified themselves within are up to no good.
 
 
 
A massive Snow Golem Mouse has been spotted within the fort, growing in both size and strength! Orders have come down from the King to fight snow with snow by building your own snow fort and challenging the snow-tossing mice! Defeat their troop of snowball warriors and stop the S.N.O.W. Golem Mouse before it's unleashed upon the Kingdom!
 
 
 
 
 
====Build the Ultimate Snow Fort!====
 
 
 
In order to stand a chance against the horde of snowball-yielding mice, you'll need to build a fort of your own! Unfortunately, the mice have procured all suitable construction materials and have them well-guarded within their fortress. In order to collect Snow Blocks to build your fort, you'll have to lure snowball fighting mice to your trap in the hope that they drop a Snow Block, which can be used to build your snow fort.
 
 
 
Luring a mouse in for a snowball fight is a straightforward affair -- You'll need to use Snowball Bocconcini to show them you're interested in a battle. This new type of cheese can be collected by hunting at the Festive Snow Fort with any standard type of bait armed.
 
 
 
Once you've collected Snowball Bocconcini and used it to obtain Snow Blocks, you'll be able to build and expand your snow fort for cool bonuses while in the Festive Snow Fort area!
 
 
 
 
 
====Collecting Snowball Bocconcini====
 
 
 
Snowball Bocconcini is rolled and packaged with the fresh festive snowfall; they've absorbed the taste of the season as well as the shape and texture of snow! It's the perfect bait to lure a snowball fight mouse towards your trap in order to collect Snow Blocks to build and expand your snow fort!
 
 
 
Snowball Bocconcini can be collected as loot from various mice that are on the sidelines of the snowball fight. Simply hunt using any standard type of bait to attract festive breeds of mice that may drop Snowball Bocconcini. Although nearly any type of bait will attract some festive breeds, using '''Gingerbread, Seasoned Gouda, Festive Feta, or SUPER|brie+''' will attract festive breeds more often! You'll find some of these festive flavours of cheese by visiting friends' profiles, as a bonus reward in your Advent Calendar, and within Daily Loyalty Chests.
 
 
 
The King has also put together a variety of festive supply kits, baskets, and bundles to aide your snowball fighting efforts! Browse a selection of cheese, charms, and more alongside SUPER|brie+.
 
 
 
'''15 Snowball Bocconcini'''<br />
 
Tasty round bait to attract snowball-fight mice
 
 
 
'''Bucket of Snowball Bocconcini'''<br />
 
150 pieces of Snowball Bocconcini in a handy bucket!
 
 
 
 
 
====Upgrading Your Snow Fort====
 
 
 
Once you've built your basic fort, you can build expansions and upgrade them using additional Snow Blocks. Keep hunting snowball fight mice using Snowball Bocconcini to collect as many Snow Blocks as you can. Then build upgrades for your fort that will provide unique bonuses! Snow Cannons increase your trap's power, the Ice Armoury provides bonuses while in tournaments, the Winter Wall gives bonuses to help you in the snowball fight, and the Festive Tavern will give you and your friends increased rewards and loot! Which will you build first?
 
 
 
 
 
'''Fort Builder's Construction Kit'''<br />
 
Bocconcini, Winter Charms and Snow Blocks!
 
 
 
 
 
====Ice Blaster Trap====
 
 
 
Defeating the final snow bully, the S.N.O.W. Golem Mouse is the key to unlocking the limited edition Ice Blaster. While this trap packs quite an icy punch with 3,800 Power and 12 Luck, more experienced hunters may discover a means of upgrading it to something capable of rivaling the Oasis Water Node!
 
 
 
On rare occasion, the ice balls fired have a chance to absorb the joy released by the hunter when catching a mouse, forging a Snowball Charm on the spot! Although these charms work well with any trap, arm them with the Ice Blaster or its upgrade for an additional power bonus!
 
 
 
 
 
====Visit Friends' Winter Hunt Profiles====
 
 
 
Once a day you can visit the profiles of up to ten of your friends to claim some Gingerbread Cheese to help you at the Festive Snow Fort! Additionally, if your friend has upgraded their Festive Tavern, you'll also be able to claim Festive Feta from them! While you're there, thank them for helping you out by leaving a gift under their tree which they'll be able to open after the King's Grand Gift Opening Ceremony has begun in a couple of weeks.
 
 
 
Finally, before friends can visit your profile, you'll need to remove the ice which has encased your dinner table! If a friend has not done the same, you can remind them by "chipping the ice" on their profile. If a friend has been away for an extended period of time, you may even find an Ice Coin when chipping away their ice! Chipping the ice will only let your friend know that you were there; they still need to clear away the ice on their own.
 
 
 
Similarly, you can leave gifts for members of your hunting team in stockings hanging on your Team Profile page.
 
 
 
 
 
====The Valuable Snowflake Mouse====
 
 
 
The Snowflake Mouse drifts with the strong winter wind, using it as a means of easy kingdom-wide conveyance. In their travels, Snowflake mice commonly pickup various knick-knacks and odd ends that they find in the snow. Arm a Winter Charm and a Snowflake Mouse may visit your trap, along with the valuable loot they carry! You're likely to find Snowball Bocconcini, Snow Blocks, or even Ice Coins!
 
 
 
'''15 Winter Charms'''<br />
 
Attract the Snowflake Mouse!
 
 
 
'''Festive Bundle'''<br />
 
275 Bocconcini and Winter Charms, plus 12 Snow Blocks!
 
 
 
 
 
====Lovely, Lovely Ice Coins!====
 
 
 
While hunting your way through the Great Winter Snowball Fight, various mice may drop Ice Coins, a precious festive currency! Visit the various shoppes at the Festive Snow Fort to browse a wide variety of wares available for purchase. There's a ton of supply packs, charms, and other hunting equipment to give you a leg-up in the various hunting locations across the Kingdom.
 
 
 
'''Collect Ice Coins to spend at the various shops within the Festive Snow Fort!'''
 
 
 
 
 
====New Festive Trap Skins====
 
 
 
The Trapsmith at the Festive Snow Fort has stocked their shop with a variety of festive trap skins! Some skins cost Ice Coins, while others require a handful of Advent Chocolates. If you find yourself a little short after raiding your Advent Calendar for chocolates, keep hunting! You may come across a rare chocolate or two while hunting at the Festive Snow Fort. The King has also put together a Festive Skin Pack containing all the skins!
 
 
 
'''Advent Chocolates'''<br />
 
Buy some skins and other rewards using your Advent Chocolates, or find some as rare loot drops at the Festive Snow Fort!
 
 
 
'''Festive Skin Pack'''<br />
 
All 11 skins at a discount!
 
 
 
 
 
====Naughty and Nice Lists====
 
 
 
While hunting with Snowball Bocconcini a few of the tougher snowball fight mice may drop either a Naughty or Nice List containing the names of a few mice. Check each mouse on the list to earn you and any friends you invite to help a special festive treasure chest reward! These rewards can be increased using Rare Map Dust, and even further increased by upgrading your Snow Fort's Festive Tavern! What will you find in each reward chest?
 
 
 
'''Rare Map Dust'''<br />
 
Increase naughty and nice list rewards!
 
 
 
 
 
====A New Type of Gift: The Passing Parcel====
 
 
 
This year the King has organized a new type of unique gift that's sure to involve your hunting group! Accessible via the gifts page is the Passing Parcel. These gifts from the King have been wrapped with an undisclosed number of layers. After unwrapping a layer, should the final gift not be discovered the parcel must be passed onto another friend!
 
 
 
Keep passing along and unwrapping layers until the final gift is discovered!
 
 
 
 
 
====Snowball Journal Theme====
 
 
 
Looking for a trophy to show off your ultimate fort building skills? Look no further than the exclusive Snowball Journal Theme. This prestigious Journal Theme can only be obtained by first proving that you're an expert in all things snowball by fully upgrading your Snow Fort. Once you've fully upgraded your fort, the King will award you with a limited edition Snow Fort Snowglobe to show that you've done all you can to defend the Kingdom during the Great Winter Snowball Fight. This snowglobe will prove your worthiness to the shopkeepers, allowing you to purchase the Snowball Journal Theme from the General Store. Wear this theme with pride, hunters!
 
 
 
Fully upgrade your fort to be able to purchase the Snowball Journal Theme!
 
 
 
 
 
====Festive Kits and Bundles====

=== Time to cash in your King's Credits! ===
 
''{{date|2|December|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
The King's Giveaway has come to an end! The King has once again tightly sealed his vault of King's Credits which has caused the majority of prize mice to scurry back into hiding. Keep in mind, prize mice can still be encountered outside of a King's Giveaway, they're just more rare.

Sculpted from the rare clay found deep underneath the Living Garden, this Lion Sphynx of Life has one main goal: To protect the pride of Gnawnia.
 
 
 
 
 
'''King Chromo Skin'''

=== Daily Gnawnian Advent Calendar ===
 
''{{date|01|December|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
 
 
<p>It's December on the Gnawnian calendar, meaning the Great Winter Hunt is just around the corner! This year the King is looking to spread festive cheer a little early by handing out chocolate advent calendars to each and every hunter!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Each day in December leading up to the 24th, you'll be able to open a door on your Gnawnian Advent Calendar to reveal a tasty treat inside. As a bonus, if you open the door on the exact day it unlocks, the King will give you a little something extra!</p>
 
 
 
====Viewing your Gnawnian Advent Calendar====
 
 
 
<p>The advent calendar can be accessed in two ways. A small "advent calendar" link has been added to the navigation bar near the very top of the game. Additionally, if you have an unopened door on your calendar, a banner will appear above your journal reminding you to claim your tasty treat!</p>
 
 
 
<p>Remember: Opening the door on the exact date grants a bonus item from the King! The bonus item will vary from day to day, so check back often!</p>
 
 
 
(Link at the top of the game is always there.)
 
 
 
(Banner above journal appears when you have an unopened door.)
 
 
 
(Tasty Advent Chocolate. Not to scale.)
 
 
 
====When does the day reset?====
 
 
 
<p>Midnight in Gnawnia just so happens to be the same as what hunter's may call "UTC" ([https://www.google.ca/search?q=current+utc+time Coordinated Universal Time]). This is the same time daily gifting counts reset.</p>
 
 
 
====What can I do with these tasty Advent Chocolates?====
 
 
 
<p>Right now, Advent Chocolates sit in your inventory in all their delicious glory. However, when the Great Winter Hunt begins, the shop keepers will undoubtedly have some special rewards that you can barter for with your chocolates!</p>
 
 
 
====A regal exit====
 
 
 
<p>With the festive celebrations around the corner, the King's Giveaway will soon come to an end. The King will close his massive vault of King's Credits, making prize mice a more rare encounter in the kingdom. All items in the King's Arms will remain after the giveaway closes. However, the supply of Regal Charms is running low, meaning they'll be retired until the next giveaway.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Make sure you send them to your friends as free daily gifts, claim your last loyalty chest, and grab any final [[Regal Gift Basket]]s.</p>
 
 
 
'''Chocolate Advent Calendars!'''
 
*Open a door on the calendar each day

=== King's Giveaway ===
 
''{{date|25|November|2013}}''
 
 
 
<blockquote>
 
'''It's giveaway time in Gnawnia!''' An increased number of prize mice are roaming the entire Kingdom carrying with them prizes of King's Credits, SUPER|brie+, real cash, and more! The giveaway will last for one week with over $25,000 in prizes to be won! Arm your traps and get hunting!
 
 
 
==== Prize Mice ====
 
'''Treasurer Mouse''' (common)<br/>
 
Compared to other prize mice, Treasurers are somewhat common during a giveaway. Found wandering the Kingdom, they carefully catalog and count the King's Credits that "higher-ups" have managed to hoard. Capture one and you'll find a few King's Credits for yourself!
 
<br/><br/>
 
'''Snooty Mouse''' (uncommon)
 
<br/>
 
Snooty mice enjoy the finer things in life, trading their stockpiles of King's Credits for gourmet cheese and fine clothing. These mice can be difficult to find, but with their capture comes a small handful King's Credits!
 
<br/><br/>
 
'''High Roller Mouse''' (rare)
 
<br/>
 
These mice hustle massive quantities of King's Credits from other mice using their keen instincts and straight poker face. High Roller mice carry with them a large quantity of King's Credits, however, they're also quite rare. You'll need lady luck on your side to even encounter this mouse, let alone capture it!
 
<br/><br/>
 
'''Mobster Mouse''' (very rare)
 
<br/>
 
Mobster mice don't like a lot of competition from other mice on their turf, and as such, encounters with a Mobster can be few and far between. Capturing a Mobster Mouse will earn you what they call "the good stuff", although it's more frequently referred to as SUPER|brie+ by hunters.<br/><br/>
 
'''Leprechaun Mouse''' (extremely rare — only a few hundred in the entire Kingdom!)
 
<br/>
 
Leprechauns are the source of many fictional stories throughout the Kingdom, which seems suiting as, along with their rarity, many hunters believe these mice to be fiction! Leprechauns are the rarest mouse in the Kingdom with only a few hundred out there to be found. Will luck be on your side and will you find the rarest of all rare mice in your trap?<br/>
 
 
 
==== Regal Journal Theme and Charms! ====
 
This most opulent Regal Journal Theme is comprised of two halves. The first half is dropped by Treasurer, Snooty, and High Roller mice; the second half can be purchased from the King's Arms for 15 King's Credits and 10,000 gold. Show off your prize-hunting prowess with regal style!
 
<br/><br/>
 
Regal Charms are handcrafted in Gnawnia from only the finest materials, making them only available in short supply. These extremely powerful charms have 1,000 power, 6 luck, and 20% attraction bonus! Regal Charms can only be found while the Giveaway is active inside Daily Loyalty chests, daily gifts, and in the Regal Gift Basket. Once the Giveaway is over, these charms will no longer be available, so make sure to share as many as you can with friends!
 
 
 
==== Regal Gift Basket ====
 
Packed to the brim with Regal Charms and SUPER|brie+! The Regal Gift basket is perfect for feeling fancy and hunting like a King! Perfect to give to a friend who needs a little lavishness in their life!
 
 
 
==== Updated King's Arms Items ====
 
Put your King's Credits to good use by spending them at the King's Arms located in the Valour region. There you'll find a wide variety of loot to help you in your hunting endeavours. The King has stocked new items, like the Sheriff's Badge Charm, so make sure to visit and check out the wares!
 
 
 
==== Where can I encounter a prize mouse? ====
 
Prize mice can be found anywhere other than the Meadow. However, keep in mind that not all bait will attract a prize mouse. See the list below of bait capable of attracting a prize mouse.
 
 
 
==== What cheese can attract a prize mouse? ====
 
All of the following bait types are capable of attracting a prize mouse:
 
{{Cheese Prize Mouse}}
 
 
 
==== What happens when I catch a prize mouse? ====
 
Journal entries for prize mouse catches are bright green, making them hard to miss! In addition to a journal entry, you'll also receive a notification in your inbox letting you know which mouse you caught and what prize it was carrying.
 
<br/><br/>
 
If a prize mouse was carrying King's Credits, SUPER|brie+, or other items, the items are added directly to your inventory. Should you capture a mouse carrying a real cash prize, you'll receive a second journal containing a link to claim your prize.

=== Spring Egg Hunt 2013 ===
 
''{{date|25|March|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
 
 
<p>
 
'''Spring Egg Hunt!'''<br>
 
The Chocolate Factory has re-opened its doors and this year's Spring Egg Hunt has begun in Gnawnia! But, like clockwork, some trouble-making mouse harbouring a strange obsession with eggs has hatched a plan to sabotage the Eggscavator, making it impossible for hunters to track down eggs!<br>
 
Hunters must travel to the '''Chocolate Factory''', catch mice to find and use Marshmallow Monterey, and capture 10 eggs being dropped by the mice there in order to re-calibrate the Eggscavator.
 
Once it's been re-tuned, hunters can then travel across the land and collect special eggs from mice and areas! Hunters who don't yet have an Eggscavator from last year's Spring Egg Hunt can pick one up in the Chocolate Factory's General Store and begin the hunt to re-calibrate it.<br>
 
The factory doors close and the production of eggs '''ends on Monday, April 15''', so get on out there and get crackin'!<br><br>
 
 
 
'''EGGS!'''<br>
 
Each egg holds a special treasure inside and hunters can collect as many of them as they like! Can you complete your entire collection of eggs? Or will you go for as many of your absolute favourite eggs as possible?<br>
 
When you find an egg, visit the Special [http://www.mousehuntgame.com/inventory.php?tab=4] section of your inventory to smash it open!
 
</p>
 
 
 
<p>
 
==== Re-acquire, Re-tune, Re-calibrate ====
 
 
 
'''Marshmallow Monterey'''<br>
 
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.<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Faulty Eggscavator'''<br>
 
The Eggscavator may look to be in working order, but it's having trouble tracking down the special egg signal that Spring Egg Hunt eggs broadcast. In order to get it re-calibrated so that you can hunt down those eggs, you'll need to use Marshmallow Monterey to capture mice that drop special factory eggs. Once these have been re-acquired, the Eggscavator will pick up the "scent" and you'll be able to hunt all across the land for Spring Egg Hunt eggs! <br>
 
When you find an egg, visit the Special [http://www.mousehuntgame.com/inventory.php?tab=4] section of your inventory to smash it open!
 
</p>
 
 
 
<p>
 
==== Eggy Charms ====
 
 
 
'''Eggscavator Charge Charms'''<br>
 
Some special charms have appeared in the Chocolate Factory Charm Shoppe that allow you to charge up your Eggscavator (after it's been re-calibrated) in order to find special Charge eggs! When you hunt with Eggscavator Charge Charms equipped, you build up 1 charge per catch on your Eggscavator and have a chance to find special Charge eggs based on the number of charges built up. Keep your Eggscavator charged at all times for the best chance to find these extra-special Charge eggs!<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Eggstra Charms'''<br>
 
The incredible magic of these charms will duplicate any bonus eggs dropped by mice, giving you TWO eggs instead of just one. 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.<br>
 
Use Marshmallow Monterey in the Chocolate Factory Charm Shoppe to create these eggy charms. After the Spring Egg Hunt is over, any eggcess charms can be smashed with your Hunter's Hammer to create Dark Chocolate Charms.<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Dark Chocolate Charms'''<br>
 
Made of 88% coco and 12% evil, this sinister piece of confectionery will attract spooky mice when hunting at the Chocolate Factory! 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>
 
 
 
<p>
 
==== Spring Gifts and Gift Eggs for Friends! ====
 
 
 
'''Gift Egg'''<br>
 
 
 
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!<br><br>
 
 
 
'''Scrambles!'''<br>
 
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.

'''Egg Hunting Kit'''<br/>
 
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.<br/><br/>
 
 
 
'''Marshmallow Monterey'''<br/>
 
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>

It's MouseHunt's 5th Birthday, and who else should arrive to help celebrate but '''RONZA'''! Her fantastic flying airship is - as always - loaded down with fantastic traps and goodies to help capture the varied and vengeful mice of Gnawnia. You'll need them too, as those mice have finally had enough, and have formed the Mouse Force Five; a super-team with the goal of destroying Ronza forever!
 
 
 
Purchase and equip your most powerful traps and use them to defeat the individual members of the Mouse Force Five, collecting robot scraps as you do. When you have enough, visit Ronza's trapsmith to purchase something that could be used as a robot head, then craft your own Super Robot Trap in her store to challenge the Mouse Force Five's evil super robot! Defeat it enough times in open combat so they'll break off their attack, and you'll have saved Ronza!
 
 
 
Help fight off the robot before '''Monday, March 18''' and Ronza will reward you with a birthday cake! Ronza takes off on that day giant evil robot or no, so be sure to visit her before she's gone!
 
 
 
====Robot Menace Terrorizes Gnawnia!====
 
A GIGANTIC robotic mouse is stomping all over Gnawnia, threatening the Kingdom and making Ronza feel a little stressed out! Help fight off this colossal mousey robo-beast and keep Gnawnia and Ronza safe!
 
 
 
 
 
'''Mouse Force Five'''
 
 
 
Members from a new elite mouse team called the Mouse Force Five are attacking Ronza's airship! You must hunt them down and collect Robot Scraps from each of the 5 mice in order to build your own massive robot trap.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Robot Scraps'''
 
 
 
Each member of the Mouse Force Five drops a different Robot Scrap that you will need to collect. Once all 5 types have been collected, you can piece them together to create the arms, legs, and torso of your very own giant robot trap!
 
 
 
 
 
'''Repurposed Robot Head'''
 
 
 
The only thing missing from your robot is the head! Luckily, Ronza has tons of spare trap parts lying around and these can be repurposed to form the final piece of your Ultra MegaMouser MechaBot Trap! Visit her General Store to buy one.
 
 
 
====Amazing New Ronza Traps!====
 
Ronza is known for bringing the foremost in trap technology, and this year is no different. Her wares are sure to impress and scare even the most jaded of mouse, and perhaps cause them to think twice before attempting to steal that chunk of cheese.
 
 
 
 
 
'''The Isle Idol Trap'''
 
 
 
When hunting in the Tribal Isles with this fantastic new trap, you'll get double the crafting drops from the Derr, Nerg, and Elub mice! "But they're all different power types!" I hear you say. True! Which is why this amazing trap comes with two skins that change the power type from Physical to Hydro to Tactical and back again, while maintaining the double-drop powers!
 
 
 
 
 
'''Tarannosaurus Rex Trap'''
 
 
 
You wanna talk ancient and Forgotten? What's more ancient than dinosaur bones? Dread magic animates these primeval bones while boiling, bubbling tar drips all around. Any mouse brave or foolish enough to attempt to steal cheese from beneath its claws must be careful to avoid the sticky tar and the swift claws. Only the strongest and quickest mice will escape!
 
 
 
 
 
'''Chrome MonstroBot'''
 
 
 
Introducing the peak pinnacle of power, last legacy of luck, the absolute authority of awesomeness... the Chrome MonstroBot! Smash down your existing Sandstorm MonstroBot, dip the parts in the brand-new Chrome MonstroBot Upgrade Kit Ronza has brought, and then re-assemble them into the biggest, the shiniest, the straight-up wildest trap MouseHunt has ever seen!
 
 
 
====It's a Charming Party!====
 
Looking for an extra challenge? Pick up some Party Charms at Ronza's Trapsmith, or in the Birthday Party Pack or the Super MechaParty Box, then equip them to attract more interesting and challenging mice while hunting down the Mouse Force Five!
 
 
 
====Rockforth to the Beat!====
 
Collect and equip Rockforth Cheese from mice at Ronza's Traveling Shoppe to draw out the elusive Rockstar Mouse, who only shows up when there's a big enough party to attend!
 
 
 
====Birthday Party Kits!====
 
Need some extra gold to afford all the goodies Ronza brought? Or maybe you just want a leg up on the evil Mouse Force Five! Pick up some birthday kits chock-full of SUPER|brie+ and Party Charms for a great time!

=== The Year of the Snake begins! ===
 
''{{date|11|February|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
====The Year of the Snake begins!====
 
With the Lunar New Year and Valentine's happening so closely together, Calamity Carl has decided to try to combine the two in a unique way: A Cozy Cruise around some of the sights of Gnawnia, packed with eye-catching fireworks with which to celebrate! However, he's gotten far more than he's bargained for, as the shape and colour of his cruise ship have proven absolutely alluring to every single water snake in the region and they are slowing down the cruise with their sheer bulk. On top of that, mice have invaded the cruise and run off with all the fireworks!
 
 
 
Thankfully, the snakes can't abide the bright lights and loud noise of fireworks, so it's going to be your job to help out! Hunt down the thieving mice and take back the Firecracker Charms. Arm them on your trap to both scare off the snakes (allowing you to move faster) and attract mice who carry potions to build bigger and better fireworks, all the way up to the incredible Snakebite Charm firework!
 
 
 
The festivities will continue until '''February 25''', where the cruise ship will end its tour, docking at the Harbour. The ship's various Shops will still be open for some time before it finally leaves.
 
 
 
====Collect Cruise Bux====
 
On your cruise, you'll be rewarded with [[Cruise Bux]] when you pass from place to place, and you may find some on the mice you catch as well. Save them up, and when you have finished your cruise you can visit the ship's [[Shops]] and pick up new traps, bases, skins, and more!
 
 
 
Launch another cruise and tour around Gnawnia a second (or third!) time to get even MORE Cruise Bux!
 
 
 
====Catch Celebrating Mice====
 
You'll find many mice have flocked to the cruise, from the simple White Mouse to the Students of Furoma, all celebrating and having a grand time, and every stage of the cruise will have visitors from that area - perhaps mice you haven't yet had a chance to see, even!
 
 
 
Also, if you equip a [[Valentine Charm]], you may attract a Firecracker Charm-carrying [[Totally Not Bitter Mouse|''Totally'' Not Bitter Mouse]]. He's having a pretty hard Valentine's Day.
 
 
 
====Gather Souvenirs====
 
Each area you visit along your cruise will have a special souvenir associated with it. There is a rare chance you will get the souvenir from each area from the mice there, so try to collect them all!
 
 
 
If you're having trouble picking any up, you can visit the ship's [[Calamity Carl's Cozy Cruise General Store|General Store]] after your first successful cruise to complete your souvenir set!
 
 
 
====Fireworks, Gift Baskets, and Cruise Crates====
 
Want to jump-start your cruise with a few extra fireworks? Or maybe a whole crate of poppers is more your style? Whatever your tastes, there's something there for everyone!
 
 
 
* '''15 [[Firecracker Charm]]s'''
 
These crackly charms twitch and vibrate in your hands, giving your trap an extra boost of power, while also attracting the Costumed Tiger and Costumed Rabbit mice. Handle them with care!
 
 
 
While using these on Calamity Carl's Cozy Cruise, you will scare away the water snakes for a short time, helping the ship move a little faster.
 
 
 
* '''[[Cozy Cruise Gift Basket]]'''
 
A huggably soft gift basket perfect for giving to friends this Lunar New Year. The wrapping paper is made of cozy blankets!
 
 
 
The basket contains 100 SUPER|brie+ and 35 Firecracker Charms!
 
 
 
* '''[[Cruise Commander Crate]]'''
 
Command your perfect cruise ship experience with this crate of explosive gear, fully stocked with everything needed to celebrate the Lunar New Year!
 
 
 
Inside you'll find 250 SUPER|brie+, 100 Firecracker Charms, and 15 Nitropop Potions!
 
 
 
'''The Year of the Snake begins!'''
 
* Travel to Calamity Carl's Cozy Cruise
 
* Collect Firecracker Charms
 
* Hunt with Firecracker Charms to collect potions to create bigger and brighter fireworks!
 
* Equip the best firework charms you have to scare the water snakes and move quickly through the cruise
 
* Collect Cruise Bux and finish your cruise to buy fantastic traps, skins, and bases!

=== New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted! ===
 
''{{date|14|January|2013}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
====New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted!====
 
Fear and awe have spread through mice and hunters alike in recent days, as rumours of terrifying new mice have quickly spread.
 
 
 
In the Twisted Garden, a super-charged mouse lurks in the depths, shocking (both literally and figuratively) anyone that comes near!
 
 
 
In the Cursed City, an ancient and evil magical mouse is inventing new and dangerous curses to cast over the whole of Gnawnia!
 
 
 
And in the Sand Crypts, a hyper-evolved mouse has reared his exceptionally ugly head and is devouring all he sees!
 
 
 
====All-new recipes!====
 
In order to face these new mice, you'll need the power of the all-new Shattering Charm, which can only be crafted by utilizing the power of an Icuri Essence.
 
 
 
The mysterious Rift Base harnesses the very power of the rift between our world and the next, and will be immensely useful in coming battles. But how to craft it? Only patient and powerful hunters will ever know.
 
 
 
If there was ever a mouse that proved a little too tough, or thought he was a little too much for you, the Ultimate Charm will prove them wrong. What does it do? ''It catches mice. '''Period.''''' Regardless of any other factors, this charm will catch the very next mouse that wanders too close. Then, if it wasn't jostled too hard in the process, maybe it stays around for another try. Try to see how many mice yours lasts for!
 
 
 
Finally, to prove your dominion over the Living Garden, there's the all-new Living Garden theme. Anyone viewing your journal when you have this theme active will definitely know that you are the true master of the Living Garden!

====Bonus Luck Weekend!====
 
It looks like a light smattering of lucky fairy dust has settled over Gnawnia. Or perhaps the Digby scientists have been up to more of their irresponsible experiments? Maybe everyone's just on an incredible streak. Whatever it is, every trap is lucky this weekend, and everyone gets a +5 luck bonus on every hunt!
 
 
 
Take advantage of all that extra luck and hunt down some of the tougher mice this weekend!
 
 
 
====Lucky Mouse====
 
This little guy has collected a pile of "Lucky" trinkets: a funky lucky sock that he'll never remove because he claims it once messed up a Monstrobot's sensors, lucky beads that managed to jam a trap's trigger mechanism without him even noticing, and his lucky belt that has... been a good conversation starter at least.
 
 
 
But also in his possession is a collection of ''actual'' Luck Charms, Super Luck Charms, and even Ultimate Luck Charms! Seek him out and catch him in your trap to claim your lucky prize!
 
 
 
====Lucky Hunting Kit====
 
Looking for ''even more luck''? This kit comes jam-packed with it! 200 SUPER|brie+, 100 Luck Charms, an incredible 30 Super Luck Charms, and a 1 month Lucky Golden Shield will boost your luck to incredible levels.

End of the Winter Event

7 January 2014

The Great Winter Snowball Fight has come to an end. An area called the Vacant Lot has remained behind where all of the Festive Shoppes will stay open for one more week.

Spend Your Ice Coins

Make sure you visit the various Festive Shoppes to cash-in all of your Ice Coins! There is a wide variety of hunting loot available that is sure to help you in your hunting endeavors across the Kingdom. Make sure to also purchase the Limited Edition Ice Blaster Trap. Remember: The Ice Blaster Trap can be upgraded into the Glacier Gatler, so if you're the collector type, you may want to purchase two Ice Blaster Traps to have one of each!

Exchange Snow Blocks for Snowball Charms

Have extra Snow Blocks after completing your Snow Fort? Exchange them at the Charm Shoppe for Snowball Mystery Packs! Each pack contains a random amount of Snowball Charms. Although these charms boost the stats of any trap, arm them with either the Ice Blaster or Glacial Gattler and watch your power really soar!

Exchange Snowball Bocconcini for Winter Charms

Have extra Snowball Bocconcini? Extra pieces of cheese can be exchanged at the Cheese Shoppe for Winter Charms! Even outside of the festive area, these charms provide an impressive luck bonus, making them useful all year long!

Special bonuses melt away with your fort

The warmer weather has melted the Festive Snow Fort, along with the fortresses built by hunters. All special bonuses provided by the fortress, such as power bonuses, tournament bonuses, etc. will no longer be provided. The one exception to this are rewards from Naughty and Nice Treasure Chests. The magical bonus upon opening the chest has remained even though the tavern in your Snow Fort has melted. You will still receive the double loot bonus upon opening if you built the related upgrade.

What's your next goal?

The end of an event can leave a few hunters pondering what their next goal may be. Are you still on the always expanding quest of discovering new hunting locations and breeds of mouse? If you need a little help getting back on track, check out this amazing MouseHunt guide built by a member of the community: Spheniscine's MouseHunt Guide (mousehuntguide.com).

Are you an avid treasure hunter? As a reminder, season one of the Relic Hunter and Treasure Chests will soon come to an end and season two will begin! This means that completing newly acquired Treasure Maps will reward a new "Season Two" Treasure Chest with mostly similar contents, although some will be different. Most notably, the Limited Edition Ancient Gauntlet Trap will no longer be able to be found in the new chests. If you have not obtained the Ancient Gauntlet Trap yet, now is your last chance to find it!
