The Leprechaun Has Returned!

10 October 2012

The Leprechaun Has Returned!

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!

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!

Use regular bait (Cheddar, Marble, Swiss, Brie, Gouda, SUPER|brie+, anything not crafted or imbued) 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!

Mystery Pot of Gold

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. And sometimes, at the bottom, there's an even greater prize lying under all that gold!

Will you be one of these lucky hunters?


The Leprechaun Has Returned!

  • The Leprechaun has returned and is here to stay!
  • More-than-usual prize mice and Leprechaun mice until October 17
  • Use regular bait 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!

Hunt for prize mice with regular bait across the land!

Treasure Hunting Update, King's Gauntlet Tourneys, and Checkout Shop Overhaul!

10 September 2012

Treasure Hunting Update, King's Gauntlet Tourneys, and Checkout Shop Overhaul!

A lot of work went into MouseHunt in the last week and it's finally time to release it all at once!

The Relic Hunter and treasure hunting in general has gotten a much needed once-over to clear up some lingering bugs and to also improve the displaying maps and inviting friends!

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!

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!

Treasure Hunting Update

Wow. Wow! So much treasure hunting has gone on. How much? So much! Over 65,000 maps have been found and completed so far. That's... That's a LOT of treasure hunting!

Ancient Relics

With so many hunters all digging for treasure at once, the delicate Treasure-Hunting Ecosystem has been forever altered!

What does this mean? For one, all the easy Ancient Relics have been found, and mice that had large stockpiles of relics in the past have noticed their reserves are dwindling. No mouse drops an Ancient Relic on every catch any more, though some are still more common than others. Keep an eye out!

Treasure Chests

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!

Harder chests will reward more 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!

So keep hunting, hunters! Treasure hunting has never been more rewarding than now!

King's Gauntlet Tourneys

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!

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!

Checkout Shop Overhaul

We've been slowly rolling out a new checkout system a few users at a time, so some of you may have seen this already, but today we're opening it up to everyone: a brand-new checkout!

It's a lot cleaner, allows us to offer a lot more information to you about your purchases, provides a nicer shopping cart system, and most importantly, allows us to bring back a lot more of your favourite packages!

No more needing to remove old packages due to size restrictions, so your Tournament Kits, Tribal Isle Kits, Warpath Kits and more should always be available in the future!

Wanna see what it looks like? Click here!


Treasure Hunting Update, King's Gauntlet Tourneys, and Checkout Shop Overhaul!

  • Treasure Chests have greater rewards!
  • Community-made King's Gauntlet tourneys are live!
  • A better, cleaner, more awesomer Checkout Shop!

Mouse Archaeology

29 August 2012

Mouse Archaeology

All across Gnawnia, rumours and legends about long-hidden treasure have been cropping up. Tales of treasure maps, relics from the far past, and incredible wealth have been flooding the local taverns. It seems everyone's got treasure-hunting fever, and for good reason!

Hunt and catch tough mice to find Ancient Relics, attract Relic Hunters who love to nab these relics, and collect Treasure Maps to seek out FANTASTIC treasures!

Treasure Hunting

Ancient Relics & Relic Hunters

The most dangerous and tricky mice in the realm have been sighted digging up and carrying around Ancient Relics. These long-lost pieces of mouse history are gorgeous examples of the Early Neomousical Period of sculpture, but most importantly, they're the only way to attract a brand-new mouse to your trap!

The Relic Hunter mouse roams all over Gnawnia searching for these Ancient Relics, and will only visit your trap if you have one in your inventory. You'll have to track it down though, since they will only stay in one location for 24 hours at a time before moving on to a new area.

Catch a Relic Hunter to obtain a Treasure Map Scroll Case at the cost of one Ancient Relic. These scroll cases are the very heart of tracking down untold heaps of treasure!

Treasure Map Scroll Case

Uncapping a Treasure Map Scroll Case will reveal a Treasure Map with a list of mice on it. Each of those mice will drop a clue, and catching all the mice will allow you to claim a special Treasure Chest with gold, points, and incredible loot!

But why hunt for treasure on your own? Each map will allow you to invite up to four friends to help track down the long list of mice, and every friend that helps gets a treasure chest of their own!

Treasure Chests

Treasure Chests contain a whole bunch of Title-appropriate loot from across the entire game. If you can hunt there, you can get useful loot for there from Treasure Chests!

Ancient Charms are incredibly rare, incredibly powerful charms ONLY obtainable from Treasure Chests. Keep an eye out for these, as they can greatly sway the battle against really hard mice!

Every once in a while, a Treasure Chest will contain something really, really rare and valuable. Whether a new Limited Edition trap, or an ancient trap skin, or something else, these are the real big prizes that every hunter will be hoping to find!

Limited Edition Trap

For a limited time, treasure hunters will have a chance to obtain a new Limited Edition Trap known as the Ancient Gauntlet.

This long-forgotten trap can lend much-needed aid to hunters attempting the long climb up the King's Gauntlet. While the statues may look dormant and docile, one of them has been secretly replaced with an incredibly patient hunter droid. Let's see if the mice notice!

Tier 1 mice caught with this trap will be so frightened, they'll drop two Tier 2 Gauntlet potions!

Any type of Treasure Map has a chance of finding a Treasure Chest containing this trap! Using Rare Map Dust to upgrade your map to a Rare Treasure Map more than doubles your chance!

Rare Map Dust

Occasionally when uncapping a Treasure Map Scroll Case, you'll get a tiny bit of Rare Map Dust. Anyone following the map that has some of this dust can apply it to a Treasure Map to turn it into a Rare Treasure Map!

Rare Treasure Maps have DOUBLE the gold, DOUBLE the points, DOUBLE the Ancient Charms, EXTRA loot, and MORE THAN DOUBLE the chance of getting super-rare loot!

EVERYONE benefits from this bonus loot, and ANYONE can upgrade the map, not just the owner!

Treasure Hunting Kit

With 125 SUPER|brie+ to help you hunt down clue-bearing mice, and 3 Rare Map Dust to turn regular old treasure maps into Rare Treasure Maps, the Treasure Hunting Kit has everything you need to go treasure hunting, and maybe find an Ancient Amulet of your own! Provides the Lucky Golden Shield for 1 month when opened.
