Hunting Tips by Larry

Larry Welcome to MouseHunt’s 3rd Birthday Bash!

The King setup this massive inflatable fortress of fun for hunter’s to bounce, party and celebrate! Unfortunately, mice have crashed the party as they always seem to do. With all the sugar coated cakes and treats, some of the mice have given up other flavours of cheese and developed an incurable sweet tooth. Luckily a new potion has been discovered to create a cupcake-flavoured version of Colby Cheese. Its sugary good taste and scent are sure to attract the party animals!

You can find Cupcake Colby Potions as loot here, or you can send them as party favors by visiting the gift shoppe. Once you have some Cupcake Colby you’ll be able to attract the birthday party mice!

Make sure to visit the Trapsmith here. I hear they have unique hunting equipment to reward your efforts with.

Good luck hunting, and be careful not to eat too much cake!

To start off with you will want to use either a regular cheese such as Brie, or Super Brie. Super Brie attracts more potion dropping mice including Curious Chemists, so the choice comes down to time and affordability.

Once you have collected some potions you can start to use Cupcake Colby, the only cheese to attract the event mice.

Goals

Here is a selection of Goals that a hunter may like to achieve:

Collect the Loot of the Event

In order to attract the loot carrying mice of this event a hunter must be using Cupcake COlby cheese.

Fortunately the mice carrying the loot aren’t too difficult to catch, so a high luck setup of any type is advised.

Unfortunately the mice don’t seem to be very common, and they don’t always drop the loot. As a result you might need to spend quite some time collecting potions for use here.

Catch a Terrible Twos Mouse

The Terrible Twos mouse is only attracted to Cupcake Colby cheese and is can only be caught by traps of the Parental Power Type.

For those of you who don’t have the Nannybot from last year, you can use the Nanny Charms collected in this location to change any trap into the Parental power type.

So roll out your favourite trap and arm the Nanny Charm to hunt for this mouse.

Once again, it’s not a common mouse, so you might need to collect quite a few charms before you get to use one.
