[['''Mousehunt]]''' is a passive game. The player (Hunter) arms his or her trap and baits it with cheese and then sounds the "Hunters Horn" every 15 minutes. Every time the player sounds the horn he is taken on a hunt and has a possibility of catching a mouse. For each mouse the player catches, he gets a unique reward, which is a certain amount of points and gold.

As of February 2012, ''MouseHunt'' has 302 different breeds of mice. Some of them, when caught, will [[Randomly Drops|drop loot]], which will be essential as players progress through the game. Along with this, there are 60 Special Event/Rare Mice, some of which are released for a short period during occasional events. These mice might drop a special kind of cheese, called Super|Brie+ (SB+), cash prizes, and many other in-game prizes.

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: The Christmas Cracker Trap. It uses various ChirstmasChristmas items as ammo.

* [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration]]: The [[Sand Worm|Big Bad Burroughs]] mouse.

** The Eclipse Mouse, if you have the right weapon. With a description stating that it is [[Dark Is Edgy|darkness and fear itself]], it sure doesn't put up much of a fight if you wield the {{spoiler|Ancient Box Trap}}. In fact, his difficulty rating is "Effortless" is you do so -- theso—the lowest possible.

* [[ClarksClarke's Third Law]]: The description for charmbits, the stuff that makes up charms.

* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The three tribes of mice, Elub, Nerg and Derr are Blue, Green and Red respectively.

{{quote|''This greedy little mouse managed to infiltrate'' Hit Grab HQ ''by disguising himself as one of'' the developers. ''Capturing this mouse will return the'' stolen code to Hit Grab, and you'll be rewarded with a special Hit Grab gift! ''This mouse is available around'' [[Mousehunt]]'s Birthday.

** On 2010's April Fools' Day, the developers released a news post, telling Mousehunters, among other things, that they have created a [[Frankenstein Random|Mouse Generator]]. The mice are given supposedly random names made of numbers and alphabets. They are, however, links to a [[Rickroll]] and a [[Muppet]] version of the Bohemian Rhapsody. They also claimed to have made an "Invisible" power-type mouse, known as the "Stealth mouse", with a picture of the "Invisible"-power trap that could catch them. Using a program, somebody found a rather glitchy-looking mouse in silhouette form from the Stealth mouse. And now the joke is an ascended joke -- thejoke—the Stealth mouse and the decrypted silhouette are both present and catchable in the King's Gauntlet!

* [[Kill Streak]]: Happens in the Fiery Warpath. Defeating many of the same type of mouse in a row will cause more of them to retreat. Unfortunately, the Warmonger is [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] -- once—once you get a streak of 7 or more he will send out a Gargantuamouse who will end your streak regardless of whether you catch it or not.

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: The Dojo Sensei acts as this to the Master of The Dojo, the [[Big Bad]] of [[Wutai|Furoma]]. Formerly hiding in the shadows, these extremely powerful [[Old Master|Old Masters]]s teach and instruct the Master of the Dojos.

** The Nugget mouse may also count as well -- itwell—it appears as often as a Shelder, another very rare mouse. It also drops quite costly or rare loot such as the Drillbot parts, which can be assembled into the Digby Drillbot (costs slightly more than 400,000 gold to buy from a Trapsmith) and either used or returned for a refund of 70,000 gold.

* [[Not So Harmless]]: They're just mice -- exceptmice—except that most of the higher ranks have every intention of taking over the kingdom and possibly enslaving or slaughtering the inhabitants.

* [[Our Goblins Are DifferentWickeder]]: Goblin mice.

* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: There are [[Mousehunt]] groups dedicated to this, such as the [[Mousehunt]] Century Club, where players catch 100 of each type of mouse.

** The Twisted Fiend mouse is based off Gollum/Smeagol from The ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', in terms of appearance, the fish in its hand (which Gollum smacked against a rock), and the description mentioning something about his "precious".

** A book in the trap Zurreal's Folly is called "[[How to Train Your Dragon|How To Tame Your Dragon]]. Next to it is another book called "Let The Hunt Begin", a [[Mousehunt]] fanfic.

** The Nibbler and Crown Collector mouse are tributes to the now-defunct "The Nibbler" [[Mousehunt]] newsletter and the [[Mousehunt]] [[Self-Imposed Challenge|Century Club]] respectively.

* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: How scouts are trained in the Marching Flame army.
