MouseHunt is a 1997 American comedy film directed by Gore Verbinski, written by Adam Rifkin and starring Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, and featured William Hickey, who died shortly after the film was shot. It was the first family film to be released by DreamWorks.
In the story, two Laurel-and-Hardy-like brothers struggle against one small house mouse for possession of a house that was willed to them by their father. The intelligent and crafty mouse outwits them completely. The film is set in a humorously indeterminate 20th century time period, with styles ranging from the 1940s to the 1970s to the 1990s.
MouseHunt is a Facebook game in which players, referred to as hunters, catch mice with a variety of traps to earn experience points and virtual gold through passive gameplay. From time to time, the developers add new locations and mice as well as sponsor periodic giveaways and tournaments. MouseHunt was developed by HitGrab, Inc. under the direction of Bryan Freeman and Joel Augé, and was released to a select group of participants for beta testing in early 2007. On 7 March 2008, MouseHunt was officially released to the general public. Just nine months later, MouseHunt earned its creators a $250,000 development grant from Facebook. In 2011, it was shortlisted as a Top Game with a user base of 50,000 to 100,000 users.
On 16 October 2010 MouseHunt was also released on the hi5 social network, but was shut down in February 2012.
MouseHunt released Mobile Apps for both the iOS on 17 October 2012 and then Android first for Jelly Bean (v4.1) on 7 December 2012 and for Gingerbread and above on 13 February 2013
