MouseHunt's 8th Birthday

3 March 2016

MouseHunt is turning eight years old and The King is celebrating with cupcakes for everyone!

Eight Cupcake Orders

The King has organized another birthday cupcake extravaganza! However, yet again several mice with a sweet tooth have proven to be a nuisance by stealing cupcakes. WHY does this keep happening?! The King needs the help of hunters to recover the stolen cupcakes and ship out orders.

Upon arriving at the birthday celebration, you can pick up to three orders to work on at once from the heads-up display. There are eight different varieties of orders available, each celebrating a different year of MouseHunting! While you have a particular order active, you'll notice a few mice visiting your trap that originally appeared in the Kingdom during the order's respective year. These mice almost always carry a cupcake and a few even have other bonus loot with them!

Click "orders available" to view and pick an order to work on.

You can be working on up to three orders at the same time.

Collecting Cupcake Colby and new Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby

In order to lure cupcake carrying mice, you'll need either Cupcake Colby or a new type of cheese called Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby. The extra sweet version of Cupcake Colby will attract the various cupcake-themed mice more often and is the only way to attract the new Cupcake Camo and Cupcake Candle Thief mice!

• Cupcake Colby

Regular Cupcake Colby is produced by Cupcake Colby Potions that can be collected as loot at the birthday party zone. This cheese will attract a variety of mice that occasionally drop cupcakes.

• Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby

Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby is produced by potions that are earned by shipping any cupcake order. Simple orders will earn you a single potion, however, more difficult orders will earn you two potions.

This extremely sweet cheese is a favourite of the various cupcake-themed mice at the party, including the elusive Cupcake Camo and Cupcake Candle Thief mice. These mice, with their especially powerful sweet teeth are known for stealing cupcakes and as such often drop one or more cupcakes when captured!

Rare Cupcake Sprinkles

When shipping an order of cupcakes, you can add Rare Cupcake Sprinkles to increase the reward you'll receive for shipping the order!

Shipping an order with sprinkles will always add either: 10 pieces of SUPER|brie+, 10 pieces of Magical String, OR 10 pieces of Glowing Gruyere Cheese (depending on the type of order shipped). Additionally, you'll also receive a handful of other loot items based on the order you shipped, with more difficult orders rewarding a greater variety of items!

You'll occasionally receive Rare Cupcake Sprinkles as a reward for shipping an order or inside a 2016 Birthday Treasure Chest earned by completing a Birthday Treasure Map. You'll always find Rare Cupcake Sprinkles inside of a Rare 2016 Birthday Treasure Chest!

Types of Cupcakes

There are five types of cupcakes that can be found as loot while hunting with either type of Cupcake Colby. Cupcakes may also occasionally show up as the Gift of the Day to send to friends for free!

Red, Yellow, and Blue Cupcakes are the most commonly found type of cupcakes. They're used in every variety of order. If you find yourself with a few too many of a specific colour, visit the General Store where you can exchange 12 of a single colour for 6 differently-coloured cupcakes.

Green and Rainbow are harder to find than the other three cupcakes. More difficult orders will require more Green, and orders from year six, seven, and eight always require one or two Rainbow cupcakes. You'll also find these cupcakes in Daily Loyalty Chests and as rare drops from mice!

Types of Cupcake Orders

There are eight different types of orders you can fulfill, one for each year of MouseHunting! Later year orders require more cupcakes, but they come with greater rewards!

While you're actively working on an order, a few mice that were released during that year can be encountered. Although these mice may vary in power type weaknesses, their insatiable love of sugar has them on an out-of-control sugar rush. Mice you encounter at the birthday party zone will have weaknesses to ALL power types, although, their typical weaknesses are still likely to be their greatest. These mice drop cupcakes the most often so be sure to always have an order on the go!

Choosing orders lets you pick rewards that are your personal favourite!

Year One

Requires 4 cupcakes to complete. Celebrates Digby, Furoma, Gnawnia, and the Mousoleum!

Requires 6 cupcakes to complete. Celebrates Tournaments, the S.S. Huntington, Tribal Isles, Whisker Woods, Catacombs, and the Acolyte Realm!

A Sweet Adventure

A new tasty adventure has been added to the Adventure Book that challenges hunters to supply the entire Kingdom with cupcakes! During the adventure, you'll earn a new base, trap, and journal theme!

Extra Sweet Cupcake Birthday Base

This base is rewarded for shipping your first order of cupcakes.

A delicious batch of birthday cupcakes baked and put under a tough sheet of thermal glass. Mice captured with this base will occasionally drop an Extra Sweet Cupcake Charm that adds +8 Luck, 8% Attraction Bonus, and a fresh cheese effect!

Bubbles: The Party Crasher Trap

This trap is rewarded for shipping one of each type of cupcake order.

Bubbles the not-always-so-friendly Octopus is looking to crash the party! Fortunately, the eight furious arms can be put to use for capturing mice, especially those with a weakness to the Hydro power type. Bubble's strength is power, with 5,800 Power, an 18% Power Bonus, an 8% Attraction Bonus, and +8 Luck!

Frosted Cupcake Journal Theme

This journal theme is rewarded for shipping a total of 100 cupcakes.

Prove yourself as the ultimate baker and forager of tastily-frosted cupcakes with this snazzy journal theme!

Birthday Trap Skins

Found inside 2016 Birthday Treasure Chests
Two new birthday-themed skins for the Endless Labyrinth Trap and Chrome Sphynx Wrath, along with unique birthday skins from previous years for the Forgotten Art of Dance Trap, Chesla's Revenge and the Sandstorm Monstrobot, can all be found inside of the 2016 Birthday Treasure Chests earned by completing a Birthday Treasure Map.

You can start a Birthday Treasure Map by shipping a Year Five order which earns a Birthday Treasure Map Scroll Case if you don't already have two in your inventory.

Dusting a map guarantees that one of the eight skins will be found inside of the treasure chest!

Cupcake Order Rewards

Each time you ship an order of cupcakes, you'll get a variety of loot rewards based on the type of order shipped! There's a wide range of items and each time you complete an order the rewards are a little different. Find bait ranging from Brie to SUPER|brie+ and Magical String! Furoma Token Packs, Tournament Tokens, Inferno Havarti, Gauntlet Potions, a wide array of charms and orbs, Rare Map Dust, Living Garden Essences, Varmint Valley loot, Oxygen Canisters, Refined Pollutinum, Lantern Oil, and more!
