Farm Hunt is a game in the Arcade Games where players disguise as animals and hide from hunters trying to uncover the imposters. It was released on July 1, 2014.^[1]

Gameplay

Players are split into two teams: Animals and Hunters. A preferred team can be selected in the pre-game lobby, but making a selection does not guarantee the role.

Any animals who survive until the game timer runs out win, and hunters win by uncovering and killing all animals.

Animals

Animals' main objective is to survive by disguising as one of the many farm animals around the map. They are given a transform wand which allows to change their disguise into the animal they click on, matching the animals age, type, and color. The current disguise is displayed as a pixel picture in the scoreboard (right side of screen). Animals are also given a Knockback bow to shoot hunters and 5 arrows which regenerate over time. Every five^[Confirm?] successful hits on a hunter, the bow's Knockback level will be upgraded, making it deal more knockback.

Upon death, animals will turn into hunters, making it more difficult to stay undetected.

Taunts

Animals have taunts, actions which grant Coins but also reveal the animal's location. There are four types: safe, risky, firework, and dangerous. Safe taunts (cooldown: 5 seconds) play a random animal sound and produce note particles at the animal's location. Risky taunts (cooldown: 15 seconds) play a random loud/obnoxious sound, show note particles, and place a piece of poop at the animal's feet, tagged with the player's name. The poop can be collected by hunters for Coins and can be used to identify which player was hiding in that spot. Firework taunts (limit 5 per game; cooldown: 15 seconds) shoot off a firework upwards from the animal's location. A dangerous taunt (cooldown: 60 seconds) sends a message to all hunters about the animal's disguise and general coordinates where they may be found. The animal is not allowed to re-disguise for 10 seconds, though they do get Speed.

Hunters

Hunters' main goal is to find the disguised animals. They are given a wooden sword with Unbreaking III, a bow with Infinity I and Unbreaking III, and an explosive sheep item (cooldown: 20 seconds). The explosive sheep explodes after a ^[Confirm?] second countdown, killing all non-player animals around it and damages disguised animals. The non-player animals killed by the explosive sheep will respawn after a short time.

Non-player animals do not take damage when hit, only making a small click sound to confirm the animal hit was not a player. Disguised animals will take damage when hit, and upon death, will turn into hunters.

Tips and Tricks

Animals

• 3rd person view will give you all full view without having to turn. Stay in this mode to insure that you can see other hunters easily.
• Use arrows to push the hunters back, but only when they are about 10 blocks or more away.
• Staying in the Same Spot
  • Find a spot with lots of animals and disguise as the animal next to you. If someone finds you, run until you lose them.
• Hiding Inside Another Animal
  • Find a larger animal (cow, horse, sheep, etc.), disguise as a small animal (chicken, cat, etc.), and hide inside the other animal. If someone finds you, just move to another.
• Hiding in a Corner
  • Find a little corner of the map that is out of the way, either in a corner or inside a building. Hide somewhere where passing hunters won't see or notice you.
• Fortifying
  • Find an elevated building or location to stay, ideally out of the sightline of ground-based hunters (so they can't shoot you). Grind your bow's knockback over time on passing hunters. Save arrows so when a hunter comes to your location, bow them off the elevated platform.
  • Works better with multiple animals

Hunters

• Reverse Psychology
  • Check the common places that you as an animal would hide in first and repeat for all locations you would use
• Hit Everything
  • Run around the map and hit every animal you can see to reveal animals hidden in plain sight, though It may be time consuming in the grand scheme of an entire map.
• Bow Everything
  • Same as "Hit Everything", but you only bow larger animals instead
