News & Updates 📰
Summer is in full swing, and so is The Hive! It's been a packed few weeks, with the Deadly Dealings update making waves in Murder Mystery and Summer Daily getting underway. Here's everything you need to know!
Deadly Dealings 💵
It's time to dust off your detective hat! Murder Mystery's biggest update has arrived, packed with new features, a brand-new microhub, fresh challenges, and a whole host of epic cosmetics to unlock!
Deadly Dealings introduces Bux, a new in-game currency to hunt down and spend at the shady Bux Store, where Murderers and innocents alike can grab useful gear. Sheriffs, meanwhile, have a brand-new magnifying glass to help sniff out footprints and hidden traps.
Sunny Acres and Tomb are the two newest maps joining the Murder Mystery lineup. There's also a brand-new microhub to explore, perfect for partying up.
The Challenge Board is your new go-to for bonus objectives. Rack up Challenge Medals by completing them, then cash them in at the Challenge Merchant for exclusive cosmetics.
Ready to solve the case? The Deadly Dealings update is out now!
Summer Daily 🌴
Treasure is washing ashore, and it's yours for the taking! From June 21st through July 4th, head to the beach every other day to reel in a free gift. Just don't wait too long, as each crate only sticks around for 24 hours before drifting away for good.
Your Flimsy Rod can only do so much! But don’t worry, the All Access Pass has you covered! Granting you the upgraded Gift Grabber 9000, allowing you to reel in every piece of treasure, no matter how heavy the haul!
Missed a crate? No problem! All Access Pass lets you go back and grab any treasure you missed from previous days.
The All Access Pass will be available for purchase from The Hive Store for the full duration of Summer Daily for 990 Minecoins and can be gifted for 6 Gift Tokens.
Signature Styles 😎
Looking to make your mark? Each featuring a custom zapper, murder weapon, throwable, and gravestone, there's a Murder Mystery cosmetic pack for every aesthetic!
