The Year of the Snake begins!
11 February 2013
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. 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 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!
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.
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!
Command your perfect cruise ship experience with this crate of explosive gear, fully stocked with everything needed to celebrate the Lunar New Year!

New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted!
14 January 2013
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!
11 January 2013
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.
Bonus Luck Weekend!
- +5 luck bonus on every hunt!
- A new Lucky Mouse wandering the lands
- Find that mouse!
Travel around to find the mouse
