Reseller Garden Hedges

Is it just us, or does our Garden Décor line just keep getting better and better? We’re in awe of what Andy has drawn! Please welcome these very special Garden Hedges themed around each Reseller’s shop!

Reseller Garden Hedge Details

Like the other hedges, Reseller Garden Hedges are temporary POBs that will remain on the map as long as players with permanent Garden Hedges continue to use it. When you purchase a Garden Hedge from a Reseller, you will receive the base Garden Hedge with their respective hedge skin already equipped. However, you can still swap out the skins just like the other Garden Hedges — refer to our Help Guide article if you need a refresher!

Interested? They will be available at our Authorized Resellers’ shops some time today. Here are the links to shop all of our resellers:

Points

  • Deploy: 500
  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300

You can find these global bushes sprouting at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Also like the other hedges, up to 3 NEW Hedge Flowers may be scattered nearby when they are captured!

The Hedge Flowers 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 flower scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Hedge Flowers are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Reseller Garden Hedges of ANY type will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Reseller Garden Hedges on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Reseller Garden Hedge visits you. Reseller Garden Hedges are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Reseller Garden Hedges by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

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! You’ll also receive these upon purchasing a Reseller hedge!
  • 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!

First, here are the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with the Kangaroo Garden Hedge:

The badges for the other Reseller Garden Hedges follow the same pattern.

We hope these Reseller hedges are a welcome addition to your garden!

Munzee on!

E-mail Address Updates

Have you checked your Munzee account details lately?

We want to make sure you don’t lose access to your Munzee account! A future update will require you to use your e-mail address instead of your username to log in. This also means that any Munzee accounts sharing an e-mail address must be updated so that they have unique e-mail addresses.

Please do take some time to make sure your e-mail address is correct. You can do so at https://www.munzee.com/settings. Make sure to click the green [Save Settings] button if you make any changes!

Charm Bracelet Specials for the Magpie in All of Us!

As today is Valentine’s Day, we wanted to treat everyone to something shiny and new to collect — charms for charm bracelets! As physical reminders of special occasions or even manifestations of one’s personality, charms are a fun conversation piece — so we’ve designed some lovely charms around upcoming holidays and events!

Charm Bracelet Specials

Charm Bracelet specials are now live on the map for everyone! We’re trying something new this time and don’t have an end date for them yet, but we’ll make sure you have ample time to cap them and that you’ll be informed well in advance of the end date once it’s decided. These specials will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 1,500 Charm Boxes and 1,500 Charm Cases.

Points

  • Capture: 150
  • CapOn: 50

They will bounce around to the following landing pads every 4 hours or when capped:

These specials will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Charm Box or Charm Case on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Charm Box or Charm Case visits you. These munzees will not be blastable. They will be attracted to magnets, available from the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can access the Charm Box or Charm Case under the “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Specials” filters.

When a Charm Box or Charm Case is captured, it will scatter up to 1 Charm for all players. At launch the Charm Box and Charm Case will scatter different charms, and more charms will appear as the months go on, so make sure to keep an eye out!

While we want to keep most of the charms a surprise right now, here’s a sneak peek at one of them:

These scatters will be worth 50 points per capture and visible to any player! They expire after 30 minutes, have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well!

Badges

There are two lines of badges related to Charm Bracelet specials.

The first line is based on overall Charm Box and Charm Case captures. These badges will show the journey of a growing jewelry collection! The first badge in this line depicts a green velvet jewelry box and is earned by capping either a Charm Box or Charm Case!

The second line of badges is based on capping different combinations of Charms, similar to last year’s Pizza My Heart specials. Make sure to cap at least one of each charm so you can complete your bracelets!

You can sneak a peek at the first of each badge line below:

We hope you enjoy collecting charms and building beautiful bracelets from them! If you love this artwork, look for it and so much more on our sister app, WallaBee!

Munzee on!

Munzee Postal Service: February 2023

Following our resolution in January, here are the new cards that you can find in the store this month! They will be available until March 1st.

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have 4 new Limited Edition cards — the Garden Party Cards — and 1 new Open Edition card — the RUM Never Broke My Heart Card — for your deploying pleasure!

The RUM Never Broke My Heart Card will be available at our Authorized Resellers’ shops some time today. Here are the links to shop all of our resellers:

As a refresher, the points are as follows:

  • Limited Edition Cards:
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30
  • Open Edition Cards:
    • Deploy: 50
    • Capture: 40
    • CapOn: 25

General Info

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes to add a personal touch! While the capture message will contain your Munzee username as all Greeting Card capture messages do, we think typing in a more specific note will go a long way to creating a more unique and special experience!

Remember that these munzees will be archived 7 days after they are deployed, so make sure your intended recipient captures it before then!

We hope you enjoy sending and receiving new cards from friends around the world!

Munzee on!

A Kaleidoscopic ZEE-Dayz: February 2023

We know many of you like to host events towards the beginning of the month to knock out Clan Wars requirements as quickly as possible! To start off February strong we’ve featured two types of munzees in this ZEE-Dayz (if you follow us on FB | TWTR | IG you got a heads-up earlier this week!) — one that is part of Clan War requirements, the other not directly specified — but should be easy to rack up points with due to their abundance on the map.

Special Bonus Details

From the period of Friday, February 10th at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, February 12th at 23:59 MHQ, enjoy double points on ALL Virtual Colors and Jewels!

Sale Details

For the same time period mentioned above (Feb 10 at 12:00 MHQ – Feb 12 at 23:59 MHQ), everything in the Jewel Munzees Collection at the Freeze Tag Store is 50% off!

Similarly, the price of a Virtual Munzee + Color Credit will drop from $5 to $3! This should make it easier to stock up on these game pieces if you’d like to deploy some near friends!

We hope you’re looking forward to a more colorful weekend!

Munzee on!

These Mechz Live Together in Perfect Harmony!

Last week we kicked off our theme of love and friendship with the Tunnel of Hugz! We know romantic love isn’t for everyone, so this time we’ve created a Mech set that focuses on another aspect of pairs — the ability to balance each other by working together.

Y1N, Y4NG, and Y1NY4NG Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the Y1N, Y4NG, and Y1NY4NG are temporary POBs. The Y1N and Y4NG will remain on the map until they have been captured 5 times, while the Y1NY4NG will remain on the map until it has been captured 3 times. Once the Mechz reach their capture limit they will be “cat napping,” in “charging mode,” or “deconstructed” respectively, which results in more points for the capper.

You have the option of purchasing the Y1N in the Freeze Tag Store HERE and the Y4NG in the In-App Store for 750 Zeds. They’ll be in the stores until 12:00 MHQ on February 20th. Both will automatically deploy on your account upon purchase, and you’ll be able to rebuild them for 7 Cogs each. As for the Y1NY4NG Mech, the only way to deploy it is by deploying both the Y1N and Y4NG Mechz within the same MHQ day. Once you’ve met this requirement, a new Y1NY4NG Mech will be deployed on your account.

Points

  • Y1N and Y4NG:
    • Deploy: 500
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 100
    • Cat Napping / Charging Mode (5th Cap): 500
  • Y1NY4NG:
    • Deploy: 104
    • Capture: 251-254
    • CapOn: 100
    • Deconstructed (3rd Cap): 501-504

These Mechz will bounce to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

These Mechz will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Y1N, Y4NG, or Y1NY4NG on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Y1N, Y4NG, or Y1NY4NG visits you. These munzees will not be blastable. They will be attracted to magnets, available from the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can access these Mechz under the “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When a Y1N is captured, it will scatter up to 3 STR1P3s. Similarly, when a Y4NG is captured, it will scatter up to 3 SC4L3s. The Y1NY4NG will scatter 1 STR1P3 and 1 SC4L3.

Points:

  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 25

These scatters will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Mech 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 scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Badges

As with other Munzee Mechz, the badges for deploying the Y1N and Y4NG depict the Blueprints, and are shown below:

There are 4 more badges associated with these Mechz: the first is for deploying a Y1NY4NG Mech. The remaining 3 are for capturing each of these Mechz. We’ll keep these badges a secret for now.

We hope you enjoy the intricate designs of these mostly monochrome Mechz!

Munzee on!

NEW Bouncer Destination! The Tunnel of Hugz!

Whether you’re looking forward to Valentine’s Day or Palentine’s Day this month, we’ve got a ride that will be enjoyed by all! Like the GingerBounce House, the Tunnel of Hugz is a temporary virtual Bouncer Destination! If you’re interested, you can shop it HERE! It’ll be on sale until 12:00 MHQ on Friday, February 17th.

Why use a Tunnel of Hugz? This extra special munzee has the following awesome advantages:

  • Perfect for travelers who may want the benefits of a teaPOB, but want to attract different bouncers, not just tPOBs — full list at the bottom of this post*
  • Quick and high points
  • Easy access to multiple bouncer caps at once
  • The ability to share the love with other bouncer owners
  • Achieve bouncer Clan Wars requirements quicker

Here is some other info that should be useful to you:

Basic Info

  • ONLY DEPLOYABLE IN-APP
  • Attracts up to 6 bouncers over time (7 for Premium Members)
  • Stays on the map for 3 days — this means it’s one of the lower-priced Bouncer Destinations at $2!
  • Automatically magnetized when 1st deployed
    • Is magnetizable afterwards
  •  Points:
    • Deploy: 250 points
    • Cap: 10 points + points for bouncers in the Tunnel of Hugz at the time of capture.
    • CapOn: 50 points

Special Info

  • Can be capped once per player per 24 hour MHQ day
    • New bouncer landings do NOT refresh the capture setting
  • The regular bouncer timer is still in effect. If a bouncer times out, it leaves the Tunnel of Hugz and an open spot becomes available for others
  • Players will see the base icon above for 0, but then a 1-6 (7 for Premium Members) as more bouncers stop by

The deploy circle for Tunnel of Hugz will be 4,000 feet (1219.2 m) from the nearest Temporary Bouncer Destination. Capture radius is 1,000 feet.

To access the Tunnel of Hugz, turn on your Virtual filter and find it under “Destinations”. If the Tunnel of Hugz is hosting munzees, it can also be visible with the “All Expiring Specials” filter.

For more information on Bouncer Destinations, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Badges

The badge for deploying a Tunnel of Hugz is shown below:

Paddle Palz- Deploy 1 Tunnel of Hugz Munzee.

There is also a badge for capturing a Tunnel of Hugz. Since there’s only 1 badge in this line, we’ll keep it a secret for now.

We hope you’ll try out this iconic carnival attraction!

Munzee on!


*Tunnel of Hugs bouncers include:

February 2023 Skin: Rabbit Hedge

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

January Hedge Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Hedge yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $12.

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.

February Hedge Details

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

Rabbit 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 (February’s) capture streak. Once the skin is awarded in March, 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 these bouncing bushes at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Rabbit Garden Hedge will scatter up to 3 NEW Bunny Blooms nearby when it is captured!

Bunny Bloom
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 Rabbit Garden Hedge:

We hope the ability to earn February’s Hedge Skin doesn’t hop out of reach!

Munzee on!

January 2023 GOTM Winners

Is it just us, or has January just flown by? We even started off quite slow in the first week, with just the usual reveal of this year’s Monthly Streak Bouncers, the Garden Hedges, and the January MunzPak contents which include the latest Celtic Zodiac. A little later in the week we put out our first Greeting Card Catalog, which we are shooting to do at the start of every month.

The next week we launched a new limited-time credit, the HeartBeatz! We also created a separate layer for Greeting Cards, and celebrated the 6th installment of Flat Day the 13th.

The week after that, we released the B00mBox Mech in the HeartBeatz Redeem Store section, launched Operation: Swatch Out! and added more WhoDuckIt suspects to the mix.

Just this week, we announced our update to blast captures, and also released new Fitness skins for select Myths. We’ve still got just under a week left in January, so make sure to keep an eye out for our usual end-of-month posts!

We are now happy to announce the winners of the January Gardens of the Month (GOTM)! The badges will be awarded by early February, but we couldn’t wait to share the winners we’ve chosen!

January GOTM

We wanted to start this year off with two big and beautiful cool-toned gardens that came on our radar late last year. Remember that all winning GOTM organizers and all players who deployed in the winning gardens will be awarded special badges for their contribution to growing the map. This month we’re happy to award the Caretta Sea Turtle garden, designed by tlmeadowlark, and the Adventure Garden For Bluestreek, designed by Sanli and roughdraft, as our winning January GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Caretta Sea Turtle by tlmeadowlark in Montgomery, AL

The massive size of this garden alone is already quite an accomplishment — it can be difficult for larger gardens to reach completion as there are so many beautiful designs out there for players to contribute towards!

Here’s a note from a player who nominated this garden:

The Caretta sea turtle garden in Montgomery, Alabama USA is one of the better designed gardens I have seen in all the years since gardens began. The designer, tlmeadowlark, and the garden deserve to be recognized for the artistry and subject matter.

There is great use of different types of munzees to bring the threatened Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle to life in a munzee garden while being able to show the details of the actual turtle’s shell fairly well. That is not easy task to do in a munzee garden. Additionally, the designer worked quite hard to get this large garden completely deployed in time for National Sea Turtle day.

It would be especially nice if this garden can be recognized during the Loggerhead’s Alabama nesting period of April through August.

Thank you for your consideration.

This garden has been so enthusiastically recommended to us by many players, both via the Google Form and in-person. But even if only 1 player had told us about it, we knew we would choose it as the GOTM at some point. It was just a matter of finding the right partner, which you’ll see below, and then afterwards, the right month to showcase them both.

Adventure Garden For Bluestreek by Sanli and roughdraft in Vancouver, BC, Canada

The beautiful sky in this garden reminds us of the iconic Starry Night painting, but the galleon in the center promises an adventure of the swashbuckling variety! The combination is fresh and eye-catching!

Here’s a note from the player who nominated this garden:

Back in 2018, one of our local players, bluestreek, here in Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada was diagnosed with cancer. A garden aptly named “Adventure Garden For Bluestreek” was created with Sanna Lindgren’s (Sanli) design of a ship on a nighttime adventure to honour his journey ahead.

Despite his severe illness, he has continued to be a pioneer in the local Munzee community, inspiring his community to get out there and Munzee.

I want to encourage folks to deploy virtuals with messages of encouragement not only to bluestreek, but to anyone who might need one.

While we are sad to hear about bluestreek’s cancer diagnosis, we appreciate the story behind this garden. Not every player has a garden designed and deployed in his honor, so we hope that bluestreek knows the impact he has had on the Munzee community. Our thoughts are with bluestreek now.

All players who deployed in the respective winning gardens will receive the following special badges:

Rules for GOTM nominations:

  1. Garden must feature non-licensed character designs.
  2. The garden must feature a Garden Places Pin.
  3. The garden must be built using a publicly available spreadsheet which we will ask to be locked after being 100% deployed.
  4. We’re asking for ongoing nominations and we will release the winners throughout the year.

Based on your feedback, we’ve created a Google Form where you can submit GOTM nominations — here’s the link: https://forms.gle/SjUQeRxdi5FT81pCA

We’ll still check the iloveyou@munzee.com inbox for stragglers, but please try to send your submissions to this new Google Form instead. Keep in mind that we take all former nominations into consideration for upcoming months. Just be sure your garden follows the nomination rules in order to be considered eligible!

If you need help deploying in a Virtual Garden, you can check out this step-by-step tutorial that will making deploying in a garden easy no matter how long you’ve been playing. To fill in the gardens, make sure to stock up on Virtuals and Color Credits from the Freeze Tag Online Store.

Munzee on!

P.S. Are you looking for POTM requirements? Remember that in 2020, we announced that we were holding off on POTM for now as we develop a new way to highlight our unique player base!
