What was 'The Hunt for Mr. Whiskers?'[]
"The Hunt for Mr.Whiskers" or "The Search for Mr.Whiskers" was an event in April 2018 and an alternate reality game that sent players throughout various worlds in search of clues to find pieces to a gun that could ultimately destroy Mr. Whiskers.
The event was a collaboration between the VRChat developers and many map makers who adjusted their maps to feature clues to Mr Whiskers whereabouts, parts of the gun and changes to the places that he affected. Many maps had buildings destroyed, walls filled with graffiti or locations burned to the ground. All over the maps Mr Whiskers would leave his signature mark.
The event was never fully finished and some of the maps still feature remaining Easter eggs from the event.
The Gun[]
Pieces to the gun are found in various worlds, including Cute Forest Springs, The Great Pug, Gaia Night, Macavity Manor, Atari's Adventure, and more recent maps, like Backend, VRC Home Whisker's Gauntlet, Trial of the Golden Poo, and Mr.Whiskers Showdown. Each of these worlds offers a different challenge for players, as they have to pay close attention to details around them.
There is a storyline that the players may discover by watching a video in another world, HUNTERS' HUB. The Hunters' Hub also holds portals to most of the maps in the series, making it easy to locate the worlds instead of searching them up through the Worlds menu.
Although the series has concluded, there is another challenge players can participate in, speed running. If you want to find out the fastest time of a map, you will need to find the discord link that is hidden at the end of some puzzles.
The Final Showdown[]
On October 21st the final Mr. Whiskers showdown took place. The showdown pit the top 4 hunters, Oblivious, んなあぁ, Landon Aero, and Dr. Evilsin, in a puzzle map against Mr. Whiskers. The Map consisted of a jumping puzzle while players wielded the gun to make platforms. At the end of the jumping puzzle the player would face down Mr. Whiskers as the cat fired a rocket launcher at them while protected behind a shield. The puzzle would be completed once the player had attacked Mr. Whiskers enough to imprison them in a cat carrier. The final completion times of the night were:
- Oblivious: 15 minutes, 29 seconds
- んなあぁ: 33 minutes, 8 seconds
- Landon Aero: 33 minutes, 31 seconds
- Dr. Evilsin: 41 minutes, 46 seconds
As a reward for her 1st place completion Oblivious was given a statue in the Hunters Hub and The Gun.
