What Is #HuntTheMouse
An immensely popular game, #HuntTheMouse is simply a cash hunt where you follow hints to find cash hidden around Singapore! The game attracted an estimated 749,000 hunters last year who hunted for a total cash prize of $100,000.
This year, hunters can expect total cash prize of $1,000,000 including a Gold Coin worth $500,000! There are also 300 Silver Coins with 175 of them worth $2,500 and the other 125 worth $500.
How To Play
Free to play and open to Singapore residents and tourists, over 300 coins will be hidden progressively in various parts of Singapore over the 30-day game period. First to find the coin redeems cash of corresponding value.
- 1 x S$500,000 gold coin
- 175 x S$2,500 silver coins
- 125 x S$500 silver coins
There are a total of three hundred silver coins of two values – S$2,500 and S$500, as well as the single, $500,000 gold coin to be found!
Getting Hints - Useful Links Here
Hunters can get visual hints on a real-time map on the game website to locate the coins. Hints for the gold coin will be posted daily on Sqkii’s Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram channels from day one.
Circles on the in-game map, which indicate possible silver coin locations, will shrink between 15 to 60 minutes intervals. Last but not least, and most importantly, the real-time map will also eliminate improbable gold coin locations three times a day at 10am, 2pm, and 6pm daily.
Extra Perks with Partners
Hunters can also perform brand actions by partners and participating merchants listed on the game website to earn Crystals and make use of the new power-up features to get ahead in the game.
For those hunting for the gold coin, these Crystals can be used to obtain more gold coin hints and eliminate gold coin locations. As for the silver coins, the Crystals can also be used to shrink silver coin circles and activate the Coin Sonar or the Metal Detector to narrow down selected silver coin location to give them a competitive advantage over others.
Participating partners include Tiger Brokers, National Crime Prevention Council, Burger King, Lendlease, Nestlé Professional, myVillage, TADA, Etiqa, SF Juice, SaladStop!, amps tea, GOPIZZA, Kith Café, Tuk Tuk Cha, COCA, Kakurega, Kanada-Ya, Kind Kones, Eater’s Market, The Fragment Room, The JellyHearts and more
Power-up Features
This year, the game launches four new power-up features on top of the existing Crystals to help hunters get ahead in the game:
1. Coin Sonar – This power-up feature allows hunters to scan the area around them to zoom in to a more precise location for a silver coin. There are three scan ranges: 25m, 50m, or 100m, each requiring different numbers of Crystals. Each scan gives the player instant feedback on whether the silver coin is within their selected range.
2. Metal Detector - A highly requested feature by fans that is now available in beta. Hunters can activate this power-up feature when inside any silver coin circle to turn their phone into a metal detector in search of the coin. This feature scans the surrounding vicinity for one minute and provides visual feedback on the proximity to the coin as the hunter moves around.
3. Beacon – A community feature that spreads the love among hunters. Any player can unlock this feature by completing specific brand actions. The Beacon can then be placed anywhere on the map, allowing all players within one kilometre radius to enjoy discounted power-up usage for ten minutes.
4. Pedometer – Promoting active lifestyle and healthy living, the pedometer tracks step count while on the hunt! Players will also be rewarded with Crystals for hitting specific step counts through daily missions.
So head out with the family, and make hunting your family fun - you might just be rewarded!
