MouseHunt Analytics

This is a series of articles where I will attempt to explain how I believe MouseHunt works.

Much of this is theory, based upon observation of the game and comparison with the results we have seen from the log summariser survey. Only in a few places have we received confirmation from MouseHunt’s developers on how the game actually works, so these articles should be viewed as a best guess, rather than fact.

Dave Vanderburg has written this article on the MouseHunt Wiki, outlining the steps involved: http://mhwiki.hitgrab.com/wiki/index.php/Hunting_Sequence

Stage 1: Encountering a Mouse

Stage 2: Attracting a Mouse

Stage 3: Catching a Mouse

Stage 4: Outcome

Using a model of most of these stages I have been able to put together a tool that estimates the results you are likely to see, the Catch Rates Estimates, this is still a work in progress that will be updated as new content is released into the game, and our understanding of each stage increases.
