Perched high above the map and watching every move, the Gargoyles are ready to awaken! These stone sentinels are the newest monthly streak bouncers, bringing a magical and fantastical flair to 2026. By maintaining your daily capture streak each month, you will slowly chip away at their stony shells and unlock powerful new Gargoyle skins. Each earned skin marks your dedication and brings these ancient guardians one step closer to freedom.
But this launch holds something entirely new for Munzee. For the first time ever, Gargoyles introduce the concept of dual-owned bouncers! Once freed, a Gargoyle can exist as a single bouncer shared between the original owner and the capper, rewarding both players and creating a brand-new way to collaborate on the map. This exciting new mechanic is debuting with streak bouncers, but it opens the door to future possibilities like clan-based bouncers in Clan Wars or special shared bouncers for Event Hosts.
To unlock this new power, players will need to stay disciplined — your first Gargoyle skin will be earned in February, and once equipped, you will crack open access to the new dual-owned streak bouncers. Stay consistent, keep your streak alive, and read on to learn how to bring these legendary guardians to life!

Gargoyle Details
The Gargoyle is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until 23:59 MHQ on January 31st, 2027. It is currently available in the Freeze Tag Store for $12, and each month its price will decrease by $1. You can purchase 1 Gargoyle every 28 days. If you own at least 8 temporary Gargoyles at the end of the year, you’ll be able to keep a permanent one going into (and beyond) February 2027! Plus you can continue using all the skins you’ve collected each month!
Like last year, you will have to keep your streak up in January to receive the first skin (the Axol-Goyle shown above) in February. The pattern continues for the remaining months — if you keep up your capture streak for an entire month, you will receive the skin for it the next month. You can change the skin on these at any point (more info below!) as long as you have earned it. We will release full details for the Axol-Goyle on February 1st, but otherwise here are the details below for the base Gargoyle:

Dual-Owned Bouncers – Free the Gargoyle Together!
Gargoyles are introducing a brand-new gameplay mechanic to Munzee: dual-owned bouncers! This exciting feature can only be unlocked when a Gargoyle has one of its special enchanted skins equipped. These magical skins awaken the Gargoyle’s true nature and allow it to be freed from stone… with a little help from the community. Let’s break down how it works using the Axol-Goyle skin as an example.
When the Axol-Goyle skin is equipped, the Gargoyle will begin bouncing around the map in its Stone Axol-Goyle form. Like Dragon Trainer Specials, each capture brings it closer to breaking free. After a certain number of captures, players may start spotting a Cracking Axol-Goyle on the map. This visual change is your cue that something special is about to happen — if you see a cracking gargoyle, grab it!
When a Cracking Axol-Goyle is captured, the Gargoyle is finally freed! At that moment, a Freed Axol-Goyle is deployed on the map. This new bouncer is co-owned by both the original Gargoyle owner and the player who freed it. While the Freed Axol-Goyle bounces around, both co-owners will earn CapOn points, making it a shared victory and a brand-new way to collaborate with other players.
The magic does not stop there. After the Freed Axol-Goyle has been captured a certain number of times, it will return to its stone form to recharge, and the cycle begins anew. The original Axol-Goyle is returned to the map, ready to continue its journey and be freed once again.
Keep your streak alive, earn those enchanted skins, and keep an eye on the map — you never know when a Gargoyle will be ready to break free!
How to Change Skins
The process is the same as it has been for the past few years, so we won’t take up your time with the instructions! However, if you are a little rusty — or if perhaps, you’re a new player(!) — you can refer to our Help Guide article HERE!
Badges
Gargoyles 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!
You can see the first of each badge line below, except for the Overall deploy badge line — we’ll reveal that next month!
-
-
Stone Sentinel- Deploy a temporary Gargoyle Munzee.
-
-
Stone Awakener- Capture or deploy at least one Munzee each day in January 2026.
If you complete the capture streaks for each month (and make the initial purchase in January) you’ll have 12 different skins to choose from! So be sure to purchase one each month so you can have a complete set of these carefully cracked open Gargoyles!
Your streaks hold the key — awaken these legendary Gargoyles and let their magic soar across the Munzee map!
Munzee on!
