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!

Date: Friday, August 26th

Place: Gabe Nesbitt Community Park

Munzee With Team Munzee – June

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost time for another Munzee With Team Munzee. Because many of our team members will be traveling the following week for MHQ Birthday Bash, we’re keeping this month’s event close to home. MWTM – June will be right at he center of MHQ in McKinney.

We will be meeting in front of MHQ and the Munzee Marketplace at the steps of the old McKinney courthouse. We’ll cap and deploy as we go, per usual, and have a good time! Check out the calendar and RSVP!

Come join us if you can. We’d love to see you!

We’ll be riding the train down to the State Fair and spending the evening exploring what it has to offer. Join the State Fair themed Eventzee hunt to really get a taste of Texas!

Saturday, October 8th

  • Lone Star Bash Games (9 AM): The fun continues on Saturday morning at Gabe Nesbitt Park in McKinney, Texas. There will be plenty of room to cap and deploy while having fun and playing Texas-themed Eventzee games.
  • Lone Star Bash at TUPPs (6 PM): We’ll have a nice hang-out evening at TUPPs brewery once again with food catered by Green Pin Kitchen. This will work as a meet and greet with the MHQ staff (the entire global team will be here!) and other players from around the world.


Sunday, October 9th

  • Lone Star Dash (8 AM): With all of our talk about fitness, we’ve decided to integrate it into our event. We’ll be hosting a 3K Fun Run (complete with runner’s bibs and medals) to finish off the weekend!
