AsiaMH Union Guide

On December 5, Facebook will be imposing some restrictions on apps that run outside of the main Facebook website. These policy changes will affect how you play MouseHunt outside of Facebook.

Hunters who enjoy playing on http://www.MouseHuntGame.com will need to create a login to connect to their existing MouseHunt account. It will be super simple. All game data will be tied to this login and shared between both the Facebook and offsite version of MouseHunt in the same way it is now.

Starting next week, hunters will be able to create their logins and tie them to their existing MouseHunt accounts.

After December 5, hunters will no longer be able to login using their Facebook account when playing outside of Facebook.

If you currently play on Facebook (apps.facebook.com/mousehunt) exclusively, you will not be affected and don’t need to do anything.

The mobile app for iOS currently uses FB Connect and will be unaffected by this change. A Facebook account is required in order to use the mobile app.

Once the change goes live on December 5, hunters can visit http://www.MouseHuntGame.com at any time to create their logins and tie it to their existing MouseHunt account.

I don’t want to create a login

• You can simply play on Facebook (apps.facebook.com/mousehunt) and will not be affected

I like using PayPal and/or Cherry Credits

• You must create a login as these services will only be available on http://www.MouseHuntGame.com
• Leftover Cherry Credits must all be spent before December 5 if you are not creating a login

The login system will go live next week so that hunters can begin creating logins and tying them to their existing MouseHunt accounts. More information about the change and in what other ways it will affect hunters soon to come.

FAQ

A. In time, we will provide a method which will allow you to connect to other hunters in-game. We’ll announce more news of this as it develops and when it goes live. For now, existing friends will not be affected.

A. Yes.

Q. How will it affect gifting, teams and maps?
