September 2023 Skin: Sloth Hedge

As the month comes to a close, we wanted to make sure you were heading into August with your desired Hedges! The skin for completing your August capture streak (and the corresponding badge), which is the Elephant Garden Hedge shown below, will be awarded in early September. But, we couldn’t wait to share what’s in store for next month!

August Hedge Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Hedge yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $5.

How to have a permanent Hedge on your account next year:

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

Also, don’t forget that Reseller Garden Hedges have arrived!  These unique munzee types are only available for purchase from participating Munzee Resellersso shop now!

September Hedge Details

What Hedge Skin can you look forward to earning in September? The Sloth Garden Hedge! Like the other hedges, the Sloth Garden Hedge is a temporary POB that will remain on the map as long as players with permanent Garden Hedges continue to use it.

Sloth Garden Hedge
Points
  • Capture: 250
  • 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, to earn this skin, you’ll need to complete next month’s (September’s) capture streak. Once the skin is awarded in October, you can change the skin on the hedge to this one at any point — refer to our Help Guide article for the instructions!

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

Additionally, the Sloth Garden Hedge will scatter up to 1-3 NEW Cradle of Venus Flowers nearby when it is captured!

Cradle of Venus Flowers
Points
  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Like the other Hedge Flowers, these scatters will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Hedge owner’s account. This means that unlike Air Mystery Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These hedge scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Badges

As a reminder, Garden Hedges have 4 associated badge lines:

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

While we revealed images for the first of each badge line in the original post, we are happy to show you the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with the Sloth Garden Hedge:

Don’t let September’s Hedge Skin nap the day away!

Munzee on!

For complete information regarding Clan Wars, access our Help Guide!
For help on how to maximize your gameplay visit our Tips & Tricks Guide created by players!
See qualifications for ZeeQRew here. Find more information about QRates.

And finally, be responsible. If your local government, your health, or any circumstances require you to Stay Home – DO NOT participate. It is up to each of us to determine what is safe and what is allowed. This is a game and not worth risking your own live or the lives of others.

Munzee on, stay safe and Play Your Way!

*Golden carrot will be delivered on the 18th of September to all current premium members (Trial premium members will not receive this credit). —- We may change this delivery this month to be a special trade in the Premium section of the redeem store. This will be enabled by the 18th if we choose this direction.

**QRate must be found during the current clan war (after 00:10 on September 3rd) — give it a few minutes to fully switch into the new battle.

Salty Dog Specials!

Arghhh…arf? Ahoy there, scally-wags! We have a question… what’s better than dogs? PIRATE DOGS! Set sail with our NEW Salty Dog specials! You’ll encounter all kinds of piratey pooches, can you bark-lieve it? Starting NOW, you can try your luck at following these dastardly dogs to treasure until September 24, 2023 at 23:59 MHQ.

Two different Base specials will bounce around the map, the physical Mutt Map and the virtual Chewy Compass, as seen above.

Salty Dog Specials

These seafaring specials will will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 1500 Mutt Maps and 1500 Chewy Compasses. They will bounce around on the map every 3 hours or when captured. Capture either to start a scatter trail! The first scatter is guaranteed, then the rest only have a chance to scatter from the previous one. You must capture all 7 Salty Dog scatters to find the buried treasure!

You can find these Base specials at the following munzees near you:

Both of the Salty Dog specials will be worth 150 points for the Capture and 50 points for the CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out! Mutt Map will be attracted to Physical Magnets, while Chewy Compass will be attracted to Virtual Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

One you cap either Salty Dog special, you will follow the trail of Salty Dog scatters and capture each member of Captain BarkBeard’s crew to find treasure beyond yer wildest dreams! Legend tells of a Crossbones treasure chest, filled with Zeds for whoever opens it! The first pooch you can find is the lovable Cabin Good Boy, check him out above, but who knows what other scally-waggers ye’ll find along the trail!?

Dirty Dog Scatter

And be on the look out… all of these pirate pooches have a chance of scattering their messy friend, the Dirty Dog! He may be a little stinky, but he does have the chance of awarding you one Rover Treat – so don’t throw him in the pound just yet!

Badges

We’ve created 6 NEW Badges for you to earn via specific gameplay actions! We’ll show you the first badge and keep the rest a secret. It’s up to you to figure out the requirements for the other badges – good luck!

 

Now set sail and plunder the seven seas! Woof!

Munzee on!

Ahoy there Flat RUM Scatters!

Yo ho, yo ho – a pirate’s life for me! Now, pirates may be known to be quite devious – but they had one thing going for them, their love of RUM! And, coincidentally National Rum Day is today, August 16, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to celebrate our beloved Resellers with some Flat RUM Scatters! Starting NOW until Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 23:59 MHQ, Flat RUMs will temporarily scatter 1-3 Pirate Wares!

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Wednesday, August 16 at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, August 27th at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture Flat RUMS, up to 3 Pirate Wares may be scattered nearby!

And as for any good Treasure Chest, the Two Dimensional Treasure has a chance of rewarding you with Zeds! Shiver me timbers!

The Pirate Wares Flat scatters will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flat RUM owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes, have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well! These Virtual scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for the Pirate Wares are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points

Badges

There are 2 badges available for this special period. Make sure you cap as many Pirate Wares as you can to receive both badges!

Munzee Update Announcement

UPDATE – AUGUST 12, 2023: If you are having problems receiving your password reset email – please try again – and check for an email from “noreply@munzee.com” as well as your spam / junk folder.

Since some players are still having difficulties logging in we have made the decision to make both August 12th and 13th blackout days for gameplay streaks as well. We’re aware of issues this may cause for Clan Wars so we will make an announcement regarding requirements next week as well. 

First off, we want to say a huge thank you for your patience and understanding during the last few days! Our team has been working nonstop to make sure the backend update is ready to go. We’ve completed our testing behind closed doors and have begun turning all components of the game back on. 

As a reminder you MUST reset your password and login using your email moving forward. All players need to delete the current version of the app and install the new update (Version 4.1.183) from the app store. It may take some time for the new update to appear in the app stores, so please check back later if you don’t see it yet.
* Event hosts, an email will be sent to you with information about your event account login.

There may be problems that we need help identifying, and we’ll be working on tackling any high priority issues that pop up today. We will give an all clear in a few hours so all players will know we are confident full gameplay may continue.

There are a few known issues that we will need to circle back to, but we don’t think these will interrupt the majority of gameplay. 

  • Emails for nearby deploys, summary activity, etc. may be delayed.
  • Third-party fitness vendors like Fitbit and Garmin may still need some updates.

As a reminder due to the ongoing update we have made August 9th, 10th, and 11th blackout days for gameplay streaks. We are also aware of certain temporary destinations that were affected by the delays so we have made the following decisions in regards to Dice Towers:

  • All dice towers active before and during maintenance have been archived
  • All players with an active Dice Tower going into the maintenance time have received a new Dice Tower

Once again, thank you for your continued support and understanding during this update!

Munzee On!

They expire after 120 minutes, have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well! These disc scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Munzee Backend Updates

MUNZEE BACKEND UPDATE- Aug 8th: We are moving forward with launching the update Wednesday, August 9th at 10:00 MHQ. Please note that for the time being Munzee Event Packages have been removed from the store for testing purposes. Check the Munzee Status page for updates and subscribe to receive a notification when everything is back online: https://status.munzee.com/

For many months now our team has been tirelessly working on a game-wide backend update that we hope will allow us to take Munzee to all new heights! It’s become important to establish a strong foundation so we can build an ecosystem that allows for growth, sustainability and a more secure experience for players new and old. 

The new backend update will begin on either Tuesday, August 8th or Wednesday August 9th at 10:00 MHQ, but if that changes we will announce specific dates and times by 15:00 MHQ on Monday August 7th. We expect that there will be downtime for a minimum of a few hours while these changes are being made. This means that both the Munzee app and website will be inaccessible during this time. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Players will need to plan to download the latest update from the app stores to continue playing after the new backend update has gone live. You will be required to reset your password and login using your email address instead of your username in this latest version. If you do not see the reset password email please check your junk folder before reaching out to Support. We lined out these details in our previous announcement HERE but we want to reiterate the importance of this step! This will be your LAST chance to adjust your email address before this change goes live if you haven’t already updated it yet.

Once the backend update is finished, we will be monitoring gameplay to make sure everything is working as expected. If players notice any issues please visit https://status.munzee.com/ or the Munzee Discord channel for that latest information. If you do not see a known issue listed you may reach out to Munzee Support at support@munzee.com. 

Although we have turned over every stone internally, and worked with beta testers externally, there can be unforeseen experiences once everything is live. Because of this it is possible the game could be offline through Wednesday, August 9th. This is obviously not ideal, but we hope to have this wrapped up before the end of the week and if the worst case scenario leads us into Thursday or Friday down times we will adjust monthly gameplay accordingly. If any issues do cause unexpected outages for more than 3 hours during a single day, that day will be covered as a blackout day to avoid breaking any streaks.

This update will also impact the Munzee website, calendar, and store, so please be patient as some features are still being worked on. We don’t expect any of this to drastically alter your gameplay experience, but some areas may not be working to full capacity immediately.

Many, many hours have gone into this project and our whole team has worked hard to identify the best time to make this change. With so many active players this is a tough needle to thread, so we appreciate all understanding, and this is ultimately for the good of the game as a whole. Thank you all for your continued passion and cheers to the future of Munzee!
