Deadline for Christmas Party Artwork

The planning stages for Christmas Parties are in full swing, and Louise and Trish are hard at work getting everything ready. We want everyone to be able to have the artwork they want for their events, but we do need to provide ample time for completion.

For events during the first weekend of December, art requests must be submitted by Friday, November 4th at 23:59 MHQ time. For all other Christmas Parties, requests must be submitted no later than Friday, November 11th at 23:59 MHQ time. You can submit these requests by contacting louise@munzee.com after you’ve submitted your event to the calendar. Following that date, only generic artwork options will be available for badges and icons. All packages will still be available.

Don’t miss out on getting custom artwork for your Christmas Party! We’re excited to see all of the great designs Trish makes for you!

Munzee on!

Lone Star Bash Gallery

It’s hard to believe that Lone Star Bash was over a week ago! Once again, thank you to all those who participated in one way or another. It was an amazing weekend, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Also, thank you to everyone who submitted pictures for the Lone Star Bash gallery. We’ve chosen some of the best, and put them below. If you still have pictures you want to submit, feel free to upload them to the Google Drive folder. We’ll update it once more at the end of the week.

Enjoy, and Munzee on!

2016 Munzee Christmas Parties!

Hello my lovely hosts, it’s that time of year again – time to plan your Munzee Christmas Parties! Last year was fantastic, there were so many great events all over the world. Let’s do it again!

First step is to get your event on the calendar and think about what you’d like to have included. Prices are as normal but various packages are available which unlock certain host badges. Christmas Parties are for the whole of December and every package includes a Christmas Party Attendee Badge and some surprises.

Just like the unicorns helped us celebrate the birthday events, the reindeer will be getting involved in the Christmas parties. Here are the packages:

The Prancer – Basic event and no proximity restrictions – $30
The Dancer – The Prancer plus 5 mystery virtuals – $35
The Vixen – The Dancer plus badge and icon – $135
The Rudolph – The Vixen plus Eventzee – $185

Father Christmas is bound to make another visit… if you’d like to have a rummage in his bag please request the Santa’s Sack option for $20, this gives every attendee a free credit item.

Don’t forget to dig out your Dodgy Jumpers again too, a badge and a spot in the gallery is up for grabs at each event. The host just needs to email me with the winner!

Don’t forget to leave plenty of time for artwork, get those requests in ASAP please. We will move to generic art options when the Trish’s diary is full and we will communicate that nearer the time. Really looking forward to hearing from you and having some fun!

For further details please drop me an email at louise@munzee.com.

From the Desk of Louise: Birthday Events Wrap Up

What a fab month July was, thank you to our wonderful players for helping us celebrate our 5th birthday! We’ve loved the photos and stories from the events around the world and have even received some birthday cards and presents from you, thank you very much!

There were 89 birthday events worldwide and there were 2782 caps of our lovely birthday event special… You may have seen him, Robicorn was parading around at every birthday event!

The Birthday Present add on was popular too, it was at most events and 3412 Emeralds were given away in our 10 new gardens around the world. Those gardens are almost full but there are still some Emeralds available to purchase if you haven’t bought one already (you can purchase one per day). Also, keep your suggestions for future gardens coming in here.

To keep you excited about events we have overhauled the calendar and have the new Event Trail addition. They are good to go and will start featuring at events from this weekend. See yesterday’s blog for info which now includes pricing information.

Once again thank you so much for celebrating with us, we are so proud of our wonderful worldwide community! Munzee On!

UPDATED Introducing the Event Virtual Trail

Updated January 16, 2019 with new distance and point information.

If you joined us in Denver for Birthday Bash, you may have noticed that the Virtual Trail that we put out looked a bit different. We used that event to test and refine a new type of trail for events: The Event Virtual Trail!

The Event Virtual Trail can be added as a part of events. It can have between 5 and 10 stages and has the same point structure for capturing as the regular virtual trails. There are a few key differences:

It can only be purchased as part of an official Munzee event.
Because it is an event-only munzee, there are no Deploy or CapOn points awarded.
Like other event munzees, Event Virtual Trails are archived at the conclusion of the event.
Regular virtuals can be converted in Virtual Event Trails.
The distance between stages is 500 feet, the same as normal Virtual Trail stages.

If you’re hosting an event soon and want to learn more about the Event Virtual Trail, Louise will be glad to help you!

The Event Trail credits are $15 for 5 stages and 10 stages for $20.

There are many uses for the Event Virtual Trail, and we can’t wait to see what you do with them! Munzee on!
