The yearly celestial event known as the Festive Comet has crashed into Gnawnia just south of the Town of Gnawnia Castle with a snowy kaboom! The collision instantly transformed the Kingdom into a wintery wonderland full of festive snow and holiday cheer! However, it seems one mouse is bent on destroying the snowy ambience by using several over-sized space heaters to melt the lovely festive landscape into a slushy and disgusting mess. Yuck!

Explosive Christmas Crackers

Luckily, the blast of winter weather has also brought with it beloved Winter Snow Golems. These powerful friends can be sent out to any location you've mapped and gained access to in order to retrieve all sorts of useful goodies! Where you send your golems will determine the type of loot which with they return. However, no matter where you send them, they'll bring back Explosive Christmas Crackers. These festive ordnance are just what you'll need to demolish the space heaters which are trying to turn the Great Winter Hunt into the Great Muddy Waterfront. Again I say: Yuck!

Pecan Pecorino

Collect Pecan Pecorino to attract mice carrying golem parts and assemble a golem to send on a loot mission. Once dispatched, your golem will return, after you take 25 hunts, with valuable loot and Explosive Christmas Crackers. Carefully pull the tab on your crackers to detonate its cheer in the direction of a space heater, obliterating both in the process. The Shorts-All-Year Mouse has setup 10 heaters in a row, each larger the the last, requiring more and more explosives to destroy.

Repurposed Heat Exchanger Coils

The Explosive Christmas Crackers provide a powerful, yet precise, bombardment. In the rubble of a demolished heater, you'll find useful Heat Exchanger Coils which you can re-purpose to upgrade your Golem Generators! Level up your golems to have them return with a greater quantity of more valuable loot, including more Explosive Christmas Crackers. Keep on upgrading and your loot collection abilities will really start to snowball!

If you manage to destroy all of the heaters setup by the Shorts-All-Year Mouse, you'll be able to confront him in the cold. In this weakened state, you'll be able to catch him with his pants down... so to speak. Capturing the Shorts-All-Year Mouse will recover a pair of Plain Shorts which you can then fashion into a much more elaborate festive version using the heads-up display.

Each time you capture the Shorts-All-Year Mouse, he'll drop another pair of Plain Shorts. Collect four to fashion each variety of festive shorts available. These shorts not only look amazing but are also incredibly itchy decorative!

Once fashioned into festive shorts, you can wear them to attract mice with a similar theme to your shorts. These themed mice in turn drop themed Sugar Cookies which you can spend at the various Winter Hunt shoppes for all sorts of rewards!

This carefully tuned timepiece is capable of siphoning power from the Acolyte Mouse within the Acolyte Realm. Each time you capture an Acolyte, the trap's power within the Acolyte Realm will increase by 2,000! The Chrono Mouse is the only mouse capable of rewinding the timepiece, releasing bonus items in the process! The more Acolytes you capture with this trap before capturing a Chrono Mouse, the more loot the Chrono Mouse will drop, but doing so will also revert the trap to its original power.

A repurposed heater salvaged from the wreckage and adjusted to run on Flameshards. Each hunt taken with this based equipped while in the Sandtail Desert will consume a Flameshard and generate bonus loot when capturing a mouse. You'll find all sorts of desert-related loot including Essences, Petals and Herbs, Ionized Salt, Scrap Metal, Warpath Charms, Aromatic Oil, and on very rare occasion, valuable Warmonger loot!

The treasure that is the holiday season has been ram-jammed into this tinsel-clad base! While equipped in the Labyrinth, this base has a chance to transform any clue other than Dead Ends into a Treasury Clue! This base is also adorned with the navigational know-how of Saint Nicholas, giving it a chance to navigate you away from Dead Ends, just like the Labyrinth and Minotaur Bases.

Win snowball fights across multiple dimensions with the power of the Rift Glacier Gatler! Capturing a mouse with this trap adds a chance for the mouse to drop a Rift Snowball Charm.

Mark the occasion with this delightfully snowy journal theme! Adorned with a giant snowman and an igloo decorated with festive lights!

Everyone's favourite snow-chucking mini-game is BACK! The mini-game can be accessed from the HUD. Collect Throwable Snowballs as loot drops from mice, snow golem loot rewards, and tournament rewards, then toss them into the field in search of festive shapes.

The shape you uncover will determine the reward. Use Snowball Showdown Dust to UPGRADE your board rewards! Each upgraded board will contain the Magical Hat shape which rewards a Magical Winter Hunt Holiday Hat when uncovered! You'll be rewarded with one Snowball Showdown Dust for completing this year's adventure and can grab more from the Premium Shoppe or via the Marketplace.
