Pedal for Equality! International Women’s Day Point Increase and Freeze Tag Sponsorship

Happy International Women’s Day from MHQ! To celebrate the day the Munzee way, all Flat Lous will be worth DOUBLE points from 00:01 to 23:59 MHQ time today! And MHQ is proud to announce a new sponsorship this International Women’s Day.

A Pedaled Protest

What we love even more than extra points is the fierce lady behind them, as well as her crew of fellow empowered female cyclists. Louise will be joining her new cycling team the InternationElles, whose goal is to bring attention to the fact that there is a gender gap in the world of cycling. This is most apparent in the Tour de France which does not allow women to participate or offer a women’s version of the complete race. To demonstrate their disagreement with this dated system, female athletes from around the world will be clipping in and pedaling for equality. The InternationElles will ride the entirety of the Tour de France route, completing each stage the day before the men begin their sanctioned race.

Each year the French cycling team Donnons des Elles au Vélo J-1 ride the entirety of the Tour de France route before the men begin their sanctioned race. This year the team invited an international group of women to join them in their peaceful protest. The InternationElles is comprised of a team of 10 women from across the globe united in the quest of promoting women’s cycling as they bike for gender equality.

Freeze Tag Sponsorship

The InternationElles are entirely self-funded, leaving them on the lookout for sponsors and partners to unite in their cause. Inspired by Louise and her team’s dedication and in unity with their cause, the Freeze Tag Team is proud to announce our official support of the InternationElles on this International Women’s Day.

In celebration of International Women’s Day a portion of the proceeds from every Flat Lou purchase this weekend will go toward Freeze Tag’s sponsorship of the InternationElles. You can pick up your Flat Lou at the Freeze Tag Online Store to show your support!

Exposing Inequality

For the past four years, the Donnons des Elles au Vélo J-1 have biked in protest to stand up for women’s cycling, which is shockingly still marginalized in a year as progressive as 2019. The goal of the peaceful cycling protest is to change opinions about the capability and role of women in cycling. Just this past week, a major cycling race in Belgium had to be stopped after a female cyclist caught up to the men. The solution? “Neutralizing” the race in order to reinstate the gender gap.

After decades of fighting for an equal foot in the race, women are still excluded from the Tour de France. Female cyclists have been fighting to establish a sustainable women’s stage race that can rival it, with their efforts dating back to 1955. A host of issues, included financial burdens, organizational struggles, media bias, and mockery, have held female cyclists back from participating in a race filled with the same caliber of prestige as men are allotted.

The Big Picture

While the exclusion of female cyclists from the world’s biggest cycling race embodies an underlying current of sexism and exclusion in the event, in a fuller sense, Louise and her fellow female cyclists are striving to bring overall awareness to gender inequalities in cycling. The Donnons des Elles au Vélo J-1, InternationElles, and countless female cyclists from around the world are faced with continual disparagement that prohibits them from participating in their sport on the same caliber as their male counterparts.

Threaded throughout the sport of cycling is an undercurrent of sexism, from podium girls to select cycling company advertisement. Female cyclists pack in the same grueling training regimen as men, yet they are faced with prize money discrepancies, lack of women’s races, and lack of race coverage in the case that events do take place. These continual practices put female cyclists at a constant disadvantage, a position which this band of innovative ladies is hoping to eradicate and redefine.

Stay tuned for future updates about Louise, her team, and their cycling quest. The entire group of empowered female athletes will be preparing for their over 3,400 kilometer bike tour this July. The ladies will start in Brussels on July 5, concluding their race in Paris on July 27, demonstrating their athletic prowess.

You can show your support for Louise by deploying your own Flat Lou this International Women’s Day!

Munzee on!

Blast From the Past has arrived, and it’s time to get a little retro! While you’re vibing in the 60s, maybe you can answer an all important question of the decade— who is the greatest band of all time, The Beatles or The Stones?

Far out, and Munzee on!

Ice Mystery DOUBLE Points Days and New Update!

Spring is on the way! Or at least it is over here at MHQ. (You’ll just have to play along if you’re still experiencing the Polar Vortex or if you’re Down Under.) To fully prepare, help us melt the ice with our Ice Mystery Munzee double points days announcement!

Ice Mystery

From March 20 at 00:01 MHQ time through March 24 at 23:59 MHQ time, all points for any activity on Ice Mystery munzees will be double! And this isn’t the only good news…

Ice Mystery Updates

These double points are arriving at an optimal time, since we have also decided to make some adjustments to our current Ice Mystery system. When captured, the Ice Mystery “freezes” three greenies within 2,500 feet. These will stay frozen for two hours or until capped, whichever comes first.

frozen greenie

Capping these frozen greenies will soon result in one of two updated outcomes:

There is a chance that you “thaw” the frozen greenie. If you do, you earn 50 Capture points and the owner of the host greenie earns 10 CapOn points. This outcome remains the same as it previously was.
The other outcome delivers a double update! If you get frozen, your screen will turn blue, and you cannot play for 30 seconds, instead of the previous 1 minute ban. In addition, you will now earn 100 points for being frozen! Turns out a little frostbite is not so bad after all!

These updates are effective beginning March 20 at 00:01 MHQ time.

We have a very limited supply of Ice Mystery Munzees in the Freeze Tag Online Store, available for $10 for FIVE Ice Mystery Munzees. Fortunately you can also pick them up from resellers too, so stock up before March 20th to make the most of your ICE days!

Points

If you need a little refresher, Deploying an Ice Mystery Munzee earns 50 points, while Capture/CapOn is a sum of 60 by multiples of 5 with a minimum of 10 points. For example, if Capture = 45 points, CapOn = 15 points.

Remember that the double points will run in conjunction with the newly updated points system! This means that all Ice Mystery Munzees AND frozen greenies capped or deployed from March 20 through March 24 will be worth double points at our new point values. It might prove highly beneficial to get a little frosty, so don’t fear the cold!

Badges

Existing badges will continue to be awarded for Capture, Deploy, and Being Frozen. There are a total of nine badges you can earn. The first in each category appears as follows:

: Ice Pick – Capture 1 Ice Mystery Munzee

: Igloo Builder – Deploy 1 Ice Mystery Munzee

: Frostbite – Get Frozen 1 Time

Will you help us thaw the ice? Pick up your ice Mystery Munzees today!

Munzee on!

Mark Your Calendars for Shamrock Point Updates!

The luck of the Irish is certainly with you this month, as we decided to announce the Shamrock Munzee point update early! That’s right, if you’re not too busy drinking green beverages, there will be some extra points to earn for this festive holiday.

Starting at 00:01 MHQ on March 17, all points for Shamrock Munzees will be increased. You can find the new point values below, but you can also pick up Shamrock stickers from resellers to prepare for St. Paddys! Please note that Shamrocks are currently exclusive to resellers, so the Freeze Tag Online Store does not have any available.

Points

Deploy: 100
Capture: 51
CapOn (Host): 51

And that’s not all! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, from 00:01 to 23:59 MHQ time, all activity on Shamrocks will be worth double points! Yes, you’re reading this correct. You will be earning double points on the newly updated point values! Remember that Shamrocks are physical munzees, and they attract a variety of Bouncers as well, so be sure to stock up!

This point update is a real pot of gold! Stay tuned for more possible holiday fun as the month goes on.

Munzee on!

Feb Badges and March POTM Requirements are Ready to Roll!

Did you spot a new badge earned this week? Our February POTM criteria rewarded over 1,500 players who have captured and/or deployed daily for over a year. A big thanks to all of you for helping us grow the map! You truly are super beasts!

Now that February has concluded, it’s time to move on to our March POTM requirements. Some of you may have already figured out this month’s theme based off our social media posting, but for those of you unaware, March POTM will be selected based off of hksfarm’s Monthly Munzee Giveaway video contest! Our good friend (and super Munzee Support specialist) Daniel Hammock will be rewarding select players this month based off of creativity in his video contest.

Although some winners of the monthly contest are selected at random, others are personally selected by Hammock based on creativity. The creative winners will win the title of POTM in March and the subsequent POTM badge. A number of players have already received the title of March POTM due to Hammock’s selection for February videos. February’s theme was Munzee Love, so we’re showing those winners some love and awarding their badges today! Our winners thus far, as well as their videos, are listed at the end of the article!

The theme for March’s video contest will be videoing a Munzee at a fitness club or gym. How will you show off your creative cardio? The creative portion of the video contest will have open submission up until March 15 at midnight MHQ time, after which Hammock will be choose the final winners for POTM. The monthly contest will continue until the last day of the month if you’d like to still submit your video for the chance to win his giveaway. Just be sure to have your creative video in by 3/15 at 11:59 pm MHQ time to be eligible for March POTM! Don’t forget to stop by the hksfarm’s Facebook page to read about video terms and guidelines.

Remember that anyone who earned the Player Of The Week badge previously IS able to earn the Player Of The Month badge as well! The criteria for Player Of The Month changes, so even if March isn’t your month, there’s always April! Some months will require player nominations, while other months the winners will be chosen based off of stats or other factors.

Now stop sitting around— it’s time to hit the gym and get started on your video submission!

Good luck, and Munzee On!
