Mini Adventures are updates added to the game that create that "adventure" feel, but do not require the full 20-25 day experience. Some updates are not directly claimed of as "Mini Adventures". It is more a term that has been given to them from the hobo community.
There have been 3 Common "Mini Adventures" released to date.
Mini Adventures
April Fools
The April Fools mini adventures was the original "mini adventure" that was released. Released on April 1st, some speculated that it was nothing more than a prank. The goal was to unlock and obtain the lemonade.
The Story Line
The April Fools Mini Adventure is the most elaborate of the mini adventures, only because it has implemented in two parts and requires some very hard work to complete certain parts. However, all of that hard work eventually results in an awesome reward!
How to Start
On the first of April, back in 2010, hobos received a random Xmas Gift in their Unusually Large Backpack. Opening it revealed a Yellow Jumpsuit. It took a minute, okay more like a couple hours, to reveal the jumpsuit's usefulness...
The USELESS prize
Once you figure out the usefulness of the jumpsuit and unlock the location, you can explore that place and find a glass of Lemonade! Of course, it turned out to be extremely useless!
- Ah! Cool refreshing lemonade! It smells pretty potent. It must be of the lynchburg variety.
- You lift the glass to your lips.
- AUGGHHHH It's SOUR. Somebody forgot to sweeten this! If only you had a packet of sugar...
What a useless ending!!!
Round 2!
So much rage and anger ensued! People everywhere wanted to know what it meant! Of course, everyone eventually believed it was just an April Fools joke from Cube! At least until April 1st, 2011 when a strange woman showed up at the Parking Garage and three teenagers appear at the Bus Station in Second City
The New Mission
Well, let's get to work. Our woman has had her key stolen by someone, and it has become your job to figure out who the perpetrator is.
Oh crap, not him AGAIN! Does he never learn his lesson!?!?!?!?
- Warning: This is NOT an easy fight. There is a decent chance you may not have enough stats, even with the best equipment and buffs to help you out.
When you finally win back the key he stole and return it to its owner, she rewards you with a Hybrid Ring. Take the Hybrid Ring back to the teens and if you can muster enough respect to get the teens on their journey, they start on their way and during the process you obtain a Packet of Sugar.
Ah man, COME ON ALREADY!!!
Back in April 2011, nobody was close to level 1000. Joke's on us AGAIN MAN!
Now, almost 2 years later as people begin to reach that level 1000 mark, people can finally tear the packet to get an Open Packet of Sugar, stirring in the awesomeness that is sugar and learning the true potential that is the Lemonade!!!
Availability
The April Fools Quest and all of it's qualities are available in HoboWars 1, HoboWars 2, and Facebook HoboWars
The Grand Reward
When you finally get all of the requirements and get all of the items needed, you can drink the Lemonade which provides a very nifty reward.
Skills Shop
The Skill Shop was added to the city during the release of Skills! When you tried to get into the shop, all you get is the manager saying something about a "big footprint" at the store. You can find similar "big footprint" at another location in the Hobo World, and when you do, prepare to face a great monster!
- Be warned that this battle may be difficult to win against with minimal stats.
Luckily the beast does not heal back to full life between fights, so if you need to, you can slowly knock his life total down until he releases his hostage. When she's free, she gives you a wonderful reward!!!
She becomes the cashier at the Skill Shop...
Availability
The Skills Shop and all of it's qualities are available in Hobowars 1 and Facebook HoboWars
The Reward
When you finish this mini adventure, you can start to buy and use skills in battles.
The Mines
What's this? A jungle in Canbodia? Well duh, of course there is one!
Oh wait, there's TWO of them! Inside the More Jungle, or Technicolor Jungle, you can eventually come across a funny cave. Turns out this is no ordinary cave, but a full fledged mine, only the miners won't let you in. Listen to the tale of the man on the Hobo Beach and you learn how to get in!
What, you expect more? Okay fine, every 6 weeks or so there is a new monster, Hobosaurus Rex, that terrorizes the mines. You and everyone in the kingdom can whack on him day and night until eventually enough damage is done to make him run away and recover.

The Mines and all of it's qualities are available in Hobowars 1 and Facebook HoboWars.
However Rex is NOT available on Facebook Hobowars.
The Reward
When you finally are allowed in, you can begin your career as a miner. There are a number of items that can be gained exclusively in the mines. The mines are also a great place to "switch" your stats, or in other words trade one stat in for another.
