You would be starting your adventure once you click next, then we can see 2 traps. The High Tension Spring and the Tacky Glue Trap. Lets compare the stats below.
Power:75
Power Bonus:5%
Attraction Bonus:20%
Luck: 2
Cheese Effect: No Effect
Power:70
Power Bonus:0%
Attraction Bonus:40%
Luck:2
Cheese Effect: Stale
1 costs 850 and the other costs 800, so which do we choose? In most games, the more expensive the item, the better it is, but in this case, in doesn't go that way. For less experienced players, you will be starting off with weaker mice, that explains the power that is not needed. Furthermore, the cheese you will be using is marble for beginners, unless you are THAT rich and can afford to use Super Brie+.
You will see Larry getting owned with his sandwich being stolen. Larry will give you about 35 Marble Cheese to get his sandwich back. In about 4 ~ 5 hunts, you should be able to find the mouse that did the bad deed. He will give some targets to accomplish and after finishing with Marble, you are going to change into Cheddar, unless you are that rich. You can see that the attraction bonus for the tacky glue trap is higher than the high tension spring by 20%, but the tacky glue trap has a stale while the high tension spring has no effect. Basically, if you attract the mouse, your cheese WILL NOT go stale, so with 40% attraction bonus and the less cheese cost, the Tacky Glue Trap is the obvious winner. So after you chose your trap, you get a wooden base to pair it up with. Lets look at the stats of the base.
Power:35

Ok, so... Its kinda pathetic, with only 35 power and no other stats. But the good thing about this base is that it gives you a VERY FRESH cheese effect and its free. So now, your trap stats should be like...

Once you finish catching the Dwarf Mouse that stole Larry's cheese, if you are lucky it will drop Larry's Sandwich as a collectible. Catching the Dwarf Mouse is a 100% catch, you will surely catch it and by the time you finish, you are already at 50% novice! You are almost ready to start hunting on your own, you should stick with Cheddar, buy as many cheese as you can, and just sound your horn every 15min. You can try to finish the Achievements. Your menu bar should creep up to 100% fairly quickly, and you will rank! By the way, the next trap is the Wooden Base with Target. As you can see, it provides a 20% attraction rate. Matching it with the Tacky Glue Trap, it gives a whopping 60%! For your infomation, the Wooden Base with Target provides the best attraction rate out of all the bases, making it a must-have. You will need 1225 gold and 650 points. You can buy the base first if you get the necessary gold and point, use it. This will end your novice adventure.
