🎮 8-Bit Arcade Challenge: Find the Glitch!

INSERT COIN… something has gone wrong in the arcade!

A mysterious glitch has scrambled some of our favorite Gaming Munzees, and corrupted game pieces are starting to break free from the system. Throughout the 8-Bit Arcade Event, interacting with select Gaming types can uncover special Glitched scatters — and there are 8 different arcade challenges waiting for you to clear!

Track down the hidden glitch in each game to earn exclusive badges, and you may even decode some brand-new Build-A-Pop Bits along the way! We’re also powering up Gaming Munzees with a special Scatter On Deploy bonus and an 8-Bit themed store sale. This event and sale will end on Friday, October 31st at 23:50 MHQ!

Can you find all 8 Glitches and beat the arcade? Press START and read on to learn how to play!

🕹️ How To Play

The 8-Bit Arcade may be glitching out, but joining the game is simple! There are 8 different Glitch challenges to find, each inspired by a different game. Some Glitches can be uncovered directly from Gaming types, while others may be hiding among the familiar game pieces they scatter.

  • Capture or deploy eligible Gaming Munzees
  • Refresh the map to check for special Glitches scattered nearby
  • Capture Glitches to earn badges, plus unlock NEW Build-A-Pop Bits!

👾 Find The Glitch!

The arcade code has been corrupted, and familiar game pieces are starting to glitch out! During the event, certain Gaming types — or the scatters they create — have a chance to reveal a special Glitched variant.

There are 8 arcade challenges to complete in total. Keep playing if a Glitch doesn’t appear right away — sometimes the system takes a few rounds before the corruption breaks through! Each Glitched scatter can be captured by any eligible player who finds it, so keep an eye on the map when the arcade starts acting strangely!

Can’t track down every Glitch before the event ends? Don’t fret! These Glitched scatters, challenge badges, and individual Glitch badges are permanent additions to the game, so they can still be discovered in the future. However, once the 8-Bit Arcade Event ends, the chances of uncovering them will be significantly reduced, making these Glitches much rarer to find.

🍦 Unlock NEW Build-A-Pop Bits!

There’s more hiding inside the corrupted code than badges! Each of the 8 arcade challenges also unlocks a special Build-A-Pop Bit or Bit Pack inspired by classic gaming.

Don’t own a Build-A-Pop yet? No problem! You can still complete the challenges and unlock the Bits now. They’ll be waiting in your collection whenever you’re ready to deploy and customize a Build-A-Pop Bouncer of your own. If you have already popped off, you can start mixing and matching your new arcade-inspired Bits to show off just how deep into the Glitch you’ve gone!

🏆 Level Up Your Glitch Hunt!

You don’t have to clear every individual game to start earning rewards. Every Glitched scatter you capture also counts toward three overall arcade milestone badges:

  • Level 1: Glitch Detected — Capture 1 Glitched Scatter of any type.
  • Level 2: Glitch Hunter — Capture 8 Glitched Scatters of any type.
  • Level 3: Glitch Master — Capture 25 Glitched Scatters of any type.

Duplicates count, so even after you’ve uncovered a particular Glitch, there are still plenty of reasons to keep playing and chase that next high score! If you want to earn the bragging rights for securing these badges, they’re exclusive to this limited-time event ONLY and won’t return again in the future. So be sure to complete all 3 levels this month!

⚡ BONUS POWER-UP: Gaming Scatters On Quick Deploy!

We’re giving Gaming Munzees an extra power-up for the duration of the 8-Bit Arcade Event! Gaming types that normally scatter when captured will temporarily scatter when deployed as well! That means fresh deployments can help create even more game pieces for you and nearby players to capture while you’re hunting for Glitches!

Placement Tip: Some Gaming types, such as Joysticks and the OG Scatter Munzee, require nearby Greenies or other eligible Munzees for scatters to land on. Before deploying, check the surrounding map and make sure there are enough available landing spots nearby. If the area is packed or there aren’t enough eligible hosts, your game pieces may have nowhere to go! Be sure to deploy more Greenies nearby for them to land on, or find another area with more deploys. Need a refresher on how these work? Check out our Help Guide!

Here’s the important part: The scatter location is determined when and where you FIRST open the Quick Deploy menu. Choose your starting location carefully! Once you open Quick Deploy, that’s where the bonus scatters will be sent. As with previous Scatter On Deploy specials, only fresh in-app deploys are eligible. Undeploying and redeploying existing Munzees will not trigger the bonus. Check out the last Scatter on Deploy Bonus Event on Flat Cups for a more details walkthrough!

So whether you’re deploying a new game for yourself, helping out friends nearby, or simply adding more arcade action to the map, this limited-time bonus gives you even more ways to play.

🛒 Build Your Own 8-Bit Loadout — Save 30%!

Need a few more games before heading back into the arcade? We’ve got an appropriately 8-Bit themed sale waiting for you! For a limited time, choose any 8 eligible Gaming types from the 8-Bit Arcade Collection and save 30% on those items!

Mix and match however you’d like — stock up on the games you still need to clear, grab more of your favorites, or build a little bit of everything.

Buy 8, Get 30% Off Collection

The arcade is open, the code is corrupted, and the Glitches are loose! Whether you’re chasing badges, unlocking new Build-A-Pop Bits, or trying to beat your own high score, there’s plenty hiding inside the system.

Press START, find the Glitch, and #MunzeeOn! 🎮👾

Retro PakRat Details

The Retro PakRat is the twenty-first PakRat, a NEW line of tPOBs which have the unique feature of requiring Twigz to rebuild, and earn Cogs for the owner upon archival.

Retro PakRat

Additional Info

For now, the Retro PakRat will be available in this month’s MunzPak only — meaning the deadline to get one is Saturday, October 31st at 23:59 MHQ.

You can find this roller-skating rodent at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

🦌 October Gargoyle 🪽

The antlers may be a little intimidating, but this majestic new Gargoyle is mainly concerned with finding its next meal! Hailing from the Arctic, the NEW Rein-Goyle can be yours by keeping up your capture streak throughout October!

If you complete your September capture streak, you’ll receive the Crane-Goyle Skin (and corresponding badge) in early October. Read on to learn more about this hungry new addition to the Gargoyle family!

September Gargoyle Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a base Gargoyle yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $4.

As a reminder, this is how to have a permanent Gargoyle on your account next year:

  • Own at least 8 Gargoyles by the end of the year.
    • Each month, the price of a Gargoyle will decrease by $1.
    • However, players can only purchase 1 Gargoyle every 28 days.

October Gargoyle Details

What Gargoyle awaits in October? The Rein-Goyle, a grazing new guardian inspired by the majestic caribou! With its distinct branch-like antlers and thick coat of fur, this hoofed herd animal is ready to migrate into your collection. It is a temporary POB that will remain on the map as long as the players with permanent Gargoyles continue to use it.

Rein-Goyle
Points
  • Stone Gargoyle
    • Deploy: 500
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 300
  • Cracking Gargoyle
    • Capture: 250
      CapOn: 300
  • Freed Gargoyle
    • Capture: 300
    • Stone Gargoyle Deployer ONLY (Main Gargoyle Owner):
      • Deploy: 500
      • CapOn: 600
    • Cracking Gargoyle Capper ONLY (Temp Gargoyle Co-Owner):
      • CapOn: 300
Additional Info
  • Available for multi-capture
  • Non-blastable
  • Attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets
  • Filters: “All Limited-Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials”

As stated earlier, you’ll need to complete next month’s (October’s) capture streak to earn this skin. Once the skin is awarded in November, you can change the skin on the Gargoyle to this one at any point! If you need some help refer to our Help Guide article for the instructions on swapping skins!

You can find this striking statue at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Remember, instead of scatters, Gargoyles introduce a new dual-ownership mechanic which will benefit both deployers and cappers!

  • After 4 captures, the Stone Gargoyle will turn into a Cracking Gargoyle
  • After 1 more capture, the Cracking Gargoyle will turn into a Freed Gargoyle, which is owned by both the deployer AND capper! This means both players will earn CapOn points!
    • NOTE: Only the Main Gargoyle Owner will get credit for the deploy. The Temporary Co-Owner will not see a deploy on their side, but instead will see earned CapOn points whenever the co-owned bouncer is captured.
  • After 5 captures, the Freed Gargoyle will turn back into a Stone Gargoyle

Badges

As a reminder, Gargoyles will have 4 associated badge lines:

  • Unique type deploy badges — you’ll need to earn each month’s skin by keeping your streak up!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned Gargoyle!
  • Overall deploy badges — the more Gargoyles you deploy, the merrier!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many Gargoyles as you can find!

Check out the unique deploy and capture badges linked with the Rein-Goyle below!

Free the Rein-Goyle and you’ll have a hardy companion who’s in it for the long haul!

Hello Players, your October Gauntlet Guide is here and we’ve got a new surprise!

October 2026 Badges

Your Guild can earn monthly badges by reaching certain levels in Gauntlet Games. But remember, you only get a badge (and rewards) if the whole guild reaches that level. In October, there are six badges up for grabs, and with each progressing badge you’ll earn an emblem showing how far you made it through that month’s Gauntlet! Here’s a sneak peek at the Level 3 badge:

*The Bullion Spyderbot will be available to claim as a special trade in the Premium section of the redeem store beginning October 3rd. Cost will be 0 zeds (that’s right, ZERO zeds). The Bullion Spyderbot will be auto-deployed on your account when redeemed.

Need a Wishing Well near you??? Click here for help on how to get one.

Older (but still important) reminders:

QRates must be found during the current gauntlet game (after 00:10 on October 3rd) — give the system a few minutes to fully switch into the new game.

#MunzeeOn

Note: Gauntlet Game requirements may update before October 3 and we reserve the right to do so. The final requirements and rewards will always be shown in the app.

If you read all the way to the bottom, here is a Pro Reward Tip just for YOU!

Check out the redeem options on CuppaZee Gardens. If you don’t like the physical items received this month, many can be swapped to virtual deploys in gardens. Or trade them in the Redeem store.
For those players who want more physical deploys in your area to attract bouncers, keep those physical credits and deploy them! #PlayYourWay (within the Code of Conduct 😜)
There are many more options available to help you meet Gauntlet Games requirements this month if you search for them! Good luck!

✨ NEW Storybook Evolution! 📖

Prepare for a journey of literary love!  We’ve been having lots of fun creating the wackier Animal and Farm Set Evolution Bouncers the past few years — for example, the Spaghetti Evolution which was suggested to us by players! This time though, we’ve decided to finally give the Education Set some love with its FIRST Evolution Bouncer!

The Storybook Evolution explores the writing process from the first blank page, to the magic filled tomes that bring to life a trio of enchanted stories! This Evolution Bouncer will be similar to the last Sea Monster Evolution that was released, and you can get yours at your local library AKA the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE!

Also, read all the way to the end of the blog for an announcement inspired by the Queen Of Country (and avid reader) Dolly Parton!

Stage Appears Points

Blank Page
  • On deploy
  • Deploy: 100
  • Cap: 50
  • CapOn: 30

Scribbled Sketches
  • After 3 days as Stage 1
    • (3 days total)
  • Cap: 40
  • CapOn: 20

Book Of Tales
  • After 6 days as Stage 2
    • (9 days total)
  • Cap: 45
  • CapOn: 25

Enchanted Tome
  • After 12 days as Stage 3
    • (21 days total)
  • Permanent on map unless Reset
  • Cap: 40
  • CapOn: 30
  • After 12 days as Stage 3
    • (21 days total — deployed at the same time Stage 4 is reached)
  • Will exist for 36 days or 7 captures, whichever happens first
    • Then it will be archived
  • Cap: 150
  • CapOn: 50
  • Host CapOn: 50

As mentioned in the table above, once these Evolutions reach Stage 4, a temporary POB will be launched, which is Stage 5. The three variants of Stage 5 Storybooks will bounce to both physical and virtual landing pads every 8 hours. They have the option of emerging as one of the three different species shown below:

The 5th stage Storybook evo bouncers will land on a vast array of Munzees including:

Physical Virtual
  • Greenie
  • Norse Zodiacs
  • Treehouse
  • Virtual Colors
  • Library Place
  • Void Mystery
  • Light Mystery
  • WhoDuckIt
  • Surprise
  • Stages 1-4 of Sea Monster
  • Flat DHS
  • Flat Flashlight
  • Flat Typewriter
  • Flat RUM
  • Flat Fountain Pen
  • Norse Zodiacs
  • Skyland

To access these munzees, turn on your “Evolution” filters. They will count toward Evolution Capture and Deploy badges.

Workin’ 9 to 5… and giving back! 📚✨

Today is September 25th AKA 9/25, which also happens to be Dolly Day—a fitting nod to Dolly Parton’s iconic “9 to 5” song. We’re celebrating by putting in a little overtime at the library! Alongside the launch of our Storybook Evolution, and in remembrance of the Book Lady’s life, we’re donating $925 to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that provides free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children from birth to age five, helping foster a lifelong love of reading.

Our donation will go to the McKinney, TX branch of the organization, giving a little love to MHQ past and present. To date more than 3 million books are gifted to children worldwide each month, so every bit helps!

“Don’t judge me by the cover, ’cause I’m a real good book.” 💖📖

Whether you’re a magical musical scribe or a visual storytelling scribbler, we hope you enjoy this ever-evolving chapter book of fun!

🐛 September 2026 GOTM Winners 🚌

This month, the theme was “Learning & Labor“, and you certainly stimulated our brains with colorful and educational designs! Inspired by Labor Day and National Literacy Month, September’s gardens celebrated hard work and the knowledge that keeps the world moving.

Don’t forget — the CuppaZee Gardens Tool is your go-to resource for dreaming up your own designs or finding the perfect spot to deploy! Whether you’re planning your next masterpiece or gathering friends to help bring it to life, it’s the perfect place to start.

Without further ado, let’s celebrate the winners for September:

🐛 Bookworm designed by grubsneerg in Westmoreland, PA, US
This cute (not creepy) crawler caught our eye — it’s a sweet and simple design consisting entirely of Virtual Colors. The Coke bottle glasses make it appear more intelligent and studious than your average worm! Plus it’s located in a very appropriate place — near the creator’s local Barnes & Noble bookstore!

  • This garden does not have a Garden Badge just yet, but any player can sponsor one for 750 Zeds! Once sponsored, players who capture every Munzee in the garden will be able to earn a badge commemorating their achievement and preserve the garden design in their collection.

Though we don’t have a school bus-themed game piece, Jafo43 used the next best things when coming up with this garden’s design — Safari Bus Evos and Flat Vans! We also like the detail of the Flat Flashlight for the headlights! PLUS Jafo43 has also sponsored the Garden Badge, so you can look forward to receiving it if you visit this garden and capture all the pins!

🍻 Head to the Pub this Oktoberfest! 🥨

Pirates aren’t the only ones getting hoppy! Oktoberfest kicked off last weekend and we’re celebrating with the wurst drinking buddy in Germany.

Starting NOW from Monday, September 21st at 15:00 MHQ to Sunday, October 4th at 23:59 MHQ:

For now, just know that tPOB Pubs and teaPOBs can attract and hold up to 12 bouncers (14 for Premium Members)* for the time period shown above!

*NOTE: We are aware of an issue where if you magnetize a partially-filled Bouncer Destination, the magnet timer will not clear once the Bouncer Destination is full, making it appear as though the magnet is still present when it is not. The timer will clear, however, once you capture the Bouncer Destination, or 1 hour after the magnet was applied as usual. Apologies for any confusion this may cause — the team is currently looking into it. Oops, don’t mind this note — there was some confusion over whether a magnet remains after the Bouncer Destination is filled up or not. It does! That way, you can attract 7 bouncers consistently, even though the Bouncer Destination is partially filled when you magnetize it.

Sudsy Supplies:

Stock up on tPOB Pubs and teaPOBs at the Freeze Tag Store here:
https://store.freezetag.com/collections/destination-munzees.

As for the Drink Depot Place, which is a possible landing pad for Frank & Stein, you can pick one up here:
https://store.freezetag.com/products/places-munzees?variant=37530065207478

If you haven’t had the chance to pick up a particular POB yet, we’ve added all of them back to the store here: https://store.freezetag.com/collections/pob.

QRate QRackin’ Cubimals!

Lastly, don’t forget that it’s QRate QRackin’ Cubimals time! Get double the Mini Cubimals found inside of QRates! Here’s the Bonus Events Schedule for this month, if you wish to refer back to it: https://munzeeblog.com/september-2026-bonus-schedule/

Leap Back To Sea, Me Hearties Yo Ho! 🏴‍☠🐸

AHOY! Talk Like A Pirate Day is fast approaching, and ye’ve set sail across the bounds of time and space! No it may not be a leap year, but we’re turning back the clock to bring back our Leap Day FlashMOBs from 2024. But the sun has set, and the ships sail across dark tides, so these leaping pirates might look a tad different from a couple years ago.

The bounty battling Night PiRibbit and Night Pogo Pirate are sporting new looks and new landing pads, so read on to learn more!

Night PiRibbit & Night Pogo Pirate

If you’ve captured all the munzees near you, you’ll be happy to discover that your map has been plundered with these returning mateys of mayhem! These FlashMOBs work just like they did for Leap Day 2024, but with a twist! The Night PiRibbit will leap to select virtual types and the Night Pogo Pirate will mask certain physical types. This lively pirate pair is available from NOW through Sunday, October 4th at 23:59 MHQ.

Night PiRibbit Night Pogo Pirate
Points Points
  • Capture: 40
  • CapOn: 3
  • Capture: 60
  • CapOn: 3
Landing Pads Landing Pads

What we mean by “mask” is that they appear on top of a host munzee, similar to a bouncing munzee, but once capped, they do NOT bounce anywhere else. You have “removed” the mask. Stock up on the landing pads and once you deploy them nearby they should receive the leaping pirates. 

We’ve also put together a special Pirate Pack featuring all of the landing pads needed to summon a Night PiRibbit and Night Pogo Pirate!

Pirate Pak- $20 – Shop Here!

  • Air Mystery
  • Water Mystery
  • Frog Evo
  • Jellyfish Evo
  • Red Bounty Ship
  • Blue Bounty Ship
  • Plunder and Parrrty Card
  • Seas the Day Card

  • Hooked on You Card

Special Scatter Details

And what’s the aftermath of catching these leaping pirates? They wriggle free from your grip and scatter, leaving chaos in their wake. PiRibbit will leave behind 1-3 Night Seaweed Slimeballs, while Pogo Pirate will drop 1-3 Night Jolly Dodgerballs nearby! Keep your wits about you, mate, so you don’t become their next target!

Badges

We’ve introduced THREE NEW Badges to earn through specific gameplay actions during the time period of the FlashMOBs! Since it’s time-sensitive, we’ll unveil them to you right away:

☕💻 Crack the Coded Bits With Flat Cup Scatters! 💻

Flat Cup scatters are back, and this time we’re making it easier than ever for players to get in on the caffeinated fun! To celebrate both Programmer’s Day and National Coffee Day, we’re extending the Flat Cup scatter festivities into one big coding-and-coffee combo event. That means you’ll have plenty of time to chase down some freshly brewed code, earn new Binary Greeting Cards, and take part in our latest coding game jam!

Dive far enough into the matrix and you may even decode a hidden Bit buried inside the program for your Build-A-Pops… 👀

So grab a cup, boot up the system, and read on to learn how you can participate!

☕ Coffee Cup Code Scatters Return!

Be on the lookout for returning Flat Cup Scatters to celebrate CuppaZee creator Sam for International Programmers Day & Coffee Day! Starting NOW until Wednesday, September 30th at 23:59 MHQ, Flat Cups will temporarily scatter 1-3 Cups of Coffee!

These scatters are worth 50 Capture Points / 25 CapOn Points, expire after 120 minutes, and can be captured within 300 feet. For a more detailed refresher on these scatters, review previous blogs posts here.

📍 Scatter On Quick Deploy Bonus!

For a limited time, deploying Flat Cups through the Quick Deploy menu in-app will have the chance to send bonus Flat Cup scatters to the location where you originally opened Quick Deploy! This new limited-time bonus gives you much more control over where your scatters appear. Want to send some coded coffee to family or friends? You can do that! Want to keep the scatters close by so you can capture them yourself? You can do that too!

Here’s the important part: The scatter location is determined when and where you FIRST open the Quick Deploy menu.

After opening Quick Deploy, you can then move the deployment pin and place your Flat Cup somewhere else. The Flat Cup itself will deploy wherever you move the pin, but any bonus scatters generated from the Quick Deploy event will appear back at the original Quick Deploy location.

So, for example, if you want the scatters to appear near you:

  1. Open the Quick Deploy menu at the location where you want the scatters to appear.
  2. Select your Flat Cup.
  3. Move the deployment pin to wherever you’d like to deploy the Flat Cup.
  4. Complete the fresh deploy in-app.
  5. If bonus scatters are generated, they’ll appear near the location where you originally opened Quick Deploy!

That means you can deploy a Flat Cup for another player or location while still sending the bonus scatters back to yourself — or position yourself near friends and share the caffeinated fun!

Choose your starting location carefully! Once you open Quick Deploy, that’s where the bonus scatters will be sent. As with previous Scatter On Deploy specials, only fresh in-app deploys are eligible. Undeploying and redeploying an existing Flat Cup will not trigger the bonus.

💾 Earn NEW Binary Greeting Cards!

As you deploy and capture Flat Cups, you’ll also have the chance to earn two new cards:

  • Binary 0 Card — Capturing Flat Cups has a small chance to award one Binary 0 Card
  • Binary 1 Card — Deploying Flat Cups has a guaranteed chance to award one Binary 1 Card

LIMIT – Each card can by earned once every 24 hours. So make sure to come back each day to keep building your code! And stay tuned — more ways to earn Binary Cards will be revealed later this month.

🛒 Buy 2 Flat Cups, Get 1 FREE!

Need more Flat Cups for the event? For the same time period as the event, enjoy a special offer: Buy 2 Flat Cup Munzees and get 1 FREE! Stock up on this Flat favorite before it goes cold! You must add 3 Flat Cups to your cart in the Freeze Tag Store to use it and are limited to 2 uses per order (in other words — put 6 in the cart, pay for 4, and 2 are free). There is NO CODE required — the discount should apply automatically! It will be valid for the same time period as the scatters mentioned above.

Stock Up on Flat Cups!

🏆 New Badges To Earn!

In addition to the Flat Cup scatter badge, four new permanent Binary Card badges are joining the game, plus one limited-time Flat Scatter Badge:

The Flat Cup scatter badge is limited to this event, but the Binary Card badges are permanent, so don’t worry if you don’t finish them all right away.

🍦 Decode A Hidden Build-A-Pop Bit!

Build-A-Bouncers launched last month, and more Bits are already hiding in the system! Completing the Binary Bits Drip badge will unlock the new Binary Drip Sauce for Build-A-Pops. Don’t own a Build-A-Pop yet? No problem! Anyone can participate in the event, earn cards, and complete badges. If you earn the Bit before owning a Build-A-Pop, it will automatically unlock once you deploy one in the future.

Only Build-A-Pop owners can equip the Bit, so dive into the matrix, crack the code, and see what’s dripping through the system!

Buy A Build-A-Pop Bouncer!

So fire up the app, fuel up with some coffee, and start cracking the code! Whether you’re chasing Coffee Cup scatters, collecting Binary Cards, or diving deep into the matrix for that hidden Build-A-Pop Bit, there’s plenty to discover throughout the event.

Happy coding, happy caching and capturing, and as always… #MunzeeOn
