Turn Your Myths into Exercise Buddies with NEW Skins!

Our inspiration this time was the Jazzercise tapes of the 80s! We think you’ll enjoy the bright candy colors of these skins and also get a kick out of seeing these mythical creatures participating in less-than-mythical activities.

Fitness Skins

Like last year’s Halloween skins, these skins are available in the Freeze Tag Store as a 3-Pack for $10! They will remain in the store until 23:59 MHQ on February 7th. You can shop them HERE!

Landing Pads:

If you don’t already own the base Myths, but are still interested in using these skins, you can shop them HERE, but keep in mind that the base Myth will also need to be upgraded in order to use the skin. If you haven’t upgraded your base Myth yet, you can purchase a Bouncer Upgrade Credit.

For more information on Skins, you can check out our Help Guide articles HERE and HERE.

HeartBeatz Week 3

As usual, the most up-to-date list of what’s available will be what you see on munzee.com/redeem, where the [HeartBeatz (Week X)] tab swaps out on 12:00 MHQ every Tuesday. So make sure to spend your credits each week!

We’ve also got a new Fitness Skin available in the Redeem Store in the [HeartBeatz Surprises] tab, for 25 HBC. Like the B00mBox Mech, it will remain available through 02:30 MHQ on Thursday, February 9th (the expiration date we had set for HeartBeatz).

Aquarobics Mermaid
Landing Pads

If you don’t already own the base Myth, but are still interested in using this skin, you can shop the Mermaid HERE!

We hope the sight of these active Myths on the map gets you in the mood to be on the move!

Munzee on!

An Update Regarding MEGA Blasts

Ever since we introduced the Mini and MEGA Blast Captures via the In-App Store, we’ve been monitoring their processing times and also how they affect the overall app’s performance. Over the years we’ve made various code changes in the hopes of improving things, but after our recent tests, we’ve decided it’s time to retire the MEGA Blast.

As you can see in the first screenshot below, we’ll be removing the MEGA Blast from the selection screen and will also remove it from the In-App Store. Since 1 MEGA Blast could capture up to 500 virtual munzees, while regular Blasts can capture up to 100 virtual munzees, if you have any MEGA Blasts in your inventory, we will be converting them to regular Blasts at the exchange rate of 1 MEGA Blast = 5 regular Blasts.

Another change shown in the screenshots above is that we’ll also lower the max number of Mini Blasts and regular Blasts you can fire at once. You will only be able to fire 4 Mini Blasts or 3 regular Blasts at a time (200 – 300 virtual munzee captures). We’re making this change for the same reason as removing the MEGA Blast — to improve the app’s performance and reduce processing times.

While we understand that the convenience of setting off a larger number of Blast Captures will be missed, we believe that this change will provide a better experience in the long run — instead of wondering when your blasts will complete, they should finish within just a few minutes once this update is out. In addition, you’ll be able to set off more blasts much sooner, which is especially good if you have to move to another location. No more feeling like your phone is locked up by in-process blasts!

Munzee on!

Secret ZeeOps- Operation: Swatch Out! (January 2023)

All caught up with Secret ZeeOps and looking for more? Here’s a new one available in the ZeeOps Hub for the usual cost of 1,500 Zeds. For now, it will be available for purchase until 23:59 MHQ on February 28. If you’ve purchased a Secret ZeeOp, you will be able to complete it and collect rewards even after it is no longer available for purchase.

While the year started off quietly, it seems we’ve just gotten the most bizarre case yet. The town of Flatville has got a vandal on the loose, which ordinarily wouldn’t raise much alarm — but the unique monochrome aesthetic of the town has been ruined, and the clean-up will cost millions. If you complete ALL the missions in Operation: Swatch Out!, you’ll receive the snazzy badge below, along with the FREDDi Fr0g Mech (more info below!) and various other rewards listed in the app!

There are 3 levels. Level 1 has 3 missions, Level 2 has 5 missions, and Level 3 has 5 missions. Each level ends with more prizes.

We may share this information moving forward with other Operations but possibly not.

NEW Mech Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, FREDDi Fr0g is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 15 times.

FREDDi Fr0g
Points
  • Deploy: 350
  • Capture: 230-330
  • CapOn: 100-200
  • Outline (15th Cap): 500
Landing Pads

You can find this artistic amphibian tagging the landing pads above every 6 hours or when captured.

FREDDi Fr0g will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture FREDDi Fr0g on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same FREDDi Fr0g visits you. FREDDi Fr0g is non-blastable. He will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access FREDDi Fr0g by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When FREDDi Fr0g is captured, it will scatter up to 3 BLOTerflies.

BLOTerfly
Points
  • Capture: 30-50
  • CapOn: 5-30

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 badge for deploying FREDDi Fr0g depicts the Blueprints, and is shown below:

There is also a badge for capturing FREDDi Fr0g. Since there’s only one badge in this line, we’ll keep it a secret for now.

On behalf of MHQ, we thank you for your continued service.

Play Your Favorite Beatz with this NEW Mech

In our first HeartBeatz post, we mentioned that another tab in the Redeem Store would appear later on. As planned, this tab contains items that will remain available through 02:30 MHQ on Thursday, February 9th (the expiration date we had set for HeartBeatz Credits) — so you don’t need to worry about them going away like the items in the [HeartBeatz (Week X)] tab (which swaps out on 12:00 MHQ every Tuesday)!

As before, this new tab is limited to Premium members only.

Currently there’s only one item in there right now, so here’s everything you need to know!

B00mBox Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the B00mBox is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 5 times. At 12:00 MHQ today, it was made available in the Redeem Store in the [HeartBeatz Surprises] tab for 25 HBC. If you decide to make the trade, a B00mBox will be automatically deployed on your account at once! You will also receive the Blueprint to rebuild it when you have earned enough Cogs in the future.

B00mBox
Points
  • Deploy: 600
  • Capture: 200-250
  • CapOn: 100-200
  • DEADlifting (5th Cap): 500
Landing Pads

You can find these muscular music players dancing at the landing pads above every 6 hours or when captured.

The B00mBox will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a B00mBox on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same B00mBox visits you. The B00mBox is non-blastable. It will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access it by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When a B00mBox is captured, it will scatter up to 3 T4P3s.

T4P3
Points
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 34-43

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

Badges

Deploying a B00mBox will earn you the corresponding Blueprint badge, which you can see below. There is also a badge that you can earn by capturing a B00mBox — but since there’s only one badge in this line, we’ll keep it a secret for now.

B00mBox Blueprints- Deploy 1 B00mBox Munzee.

We hope this B00mBox makes you want to get up and move to the groove!

Munzee on!

QUACKED!: A Flat Day The 13th WhoDuckIt

While past Flat Day the 13ths have been heavily slasher-inspired, this time we’ve decided to turn to the cozy mystery for inspiration. The star of the show are the new specials you’ll be able to cap into early February, but we’re also turning this weekend into a ZEE-Dayz-style event, with double points, a sale, a NEW Greeting Card, AND special badges to earn! Read on to find out more!

WhoDuckIt Specials

These specials are live NOW until 23:59 MHQ time on February 5th! They will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 1,500 Quacknifying Glasses and 1,500 Webbed Fingerprints. Though there will only be one icon shown on the map, at launch there are a possibility of 5 different icons for each (a total of 8 different results, as 2 overlap) revealed after this special is captured.

Each icon will correspond with a different rubber duck that will not be visible until captured, similar to how the Magic 8 Ball specials worked. More rubber ducks will appear as the month goes on, so make sure to keep an eye out!

These specials are also the MOBs we mentioned in the HeartBeatz blog — so every time you cap them, you have the chance to earn 1 HBC! They will bounce around every 3 hours or when capped.

Points

  • Capture: dependent on result
  • CapOn: 50

Landing Pads

Curious as to the potential suspects? We’ll give you a sneak peek, but you’ll have to track down some WhoDuckIt specials to discover the other 7 (for now) options:

These munzees will not be blastable. They will be attracted to magnets, available from the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can access the WhoDuckIt specials under the “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Specials” filters.

Cryptic Cards

To commemorate the occasion, we have 1 new and 1 old Limited Edition card for your deploying pleasure available HERE! They will be available until Sunday, January 15th at 23:59 MHQ.

Like the WhoDuckIt specials, these cards fall under the “January Greeting Cards” category mentioned in the HeartBeatz blog — so every time you cap them, you have the chance to earn 1 HBC!

Points

  • Limited Edition
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30

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!

You can check out the currently available Greeting Cards in the Freeze Tag Store Collection!

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

For more information on the Greeting Cards, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Badges

There are 8 new badges to earn with the WhoDuckIt specials. The first line, comprised of 5 badges, are based on the total number of WhoDuckIt specials you’ve captured. You can see the first badge in this line below.

The remaining 3 badges are based on receiving unique WhoDuckIt special results, so we’ll keep those a secret for now. Make sure to cap as many WhoDuckIt specials as you can to earn these badges!

We’ve also put together a special badge with art relating to the Unlucky Ducky card, similar to the one we had made for the Kill Them With Kindness card’s original run. You can see this badge (if you haven’t already) above. Please note that you can deploy Greeting Card munzees of ANY type to earn the badge, they do not have to be Unlucky Ducky cards.

Sale Details

For the same period as the Greeting Card availability mentioned above (until Sunday, January 15th at 23:59 MHQ), Flat Friends and Flat Objects will be on sale for 13% off in the Freeze Tag Store!

Double Points Reminder

As we promised last week, from the period of Friday, January 13th at 12:01 MHQ through Sunday, January 15th at 23:59 MHQ, Premium Members will enjoy double points on ALL Greeting Cards AND Flats, excluding Fancy Flats!

We hope you enjoy unraveling this mystery!

Munzee on!

HeartBeatz Credits are Beating for You!

We wanted to hit the ground running this year with a new limited-time credit for you to earn through specific gameplay actions listed below! We’re not only kicking off the new year with a focus on fitness, we’re also celebrating heart health leading into the Valentine’s Day season. So love yourself and get moving to the beat!

Like Jewel Shards, Weapon Shards, and Cogs, you’ll be able to redeem HeartBeatz Credits (HBC) at the Redeem Store for game pieces. However, like the past limited-time credits, they can only be redeemed until 02:30 MHQ on Thursday, February 9th.

How to Earn HeartBeatz Credits

HeartBeatz Credits can be earned from now until 23:59 MHQ on Tuesday, February 7th.

You can earn them the following ways:

Goodies You Can Get With HeartBeatz Credits

As usual, the most up-to-date list of what’s available will be what you see on munzee.com/redeem. Like the tabs for Pumpkoin Credits, you’ll only be able to redeem items in the “Week 1” tab during Week 1, after which, only the “Week 2” tab will be visible until Week 3, and so on. So make sure to spend your credits each week!

The rewards/rates may change from time to time, but to start off with, this is what we have planned:

  • ALL Players:

We hope you enjoy reaping the benefits of getting your HeartBeatz up!

Munzee on!

Munzee Postal Service: January 2023

Since their introduction, Greeting Cards have been a popular game piece. Like the OG Temp Virt, they reside on the Temporary layer of the map, so their deploys won’t interfere with regular physical or virtual deploys, AND they are budget-friendly. Unlike the OG Temp Virt, they come in myriad colorful designs that make it easy to express yourself!

In 2022, we brought back some past Limited Edition cards for the various holidays, but sporadically. This year, we’re trying to improve our process by reviewing past Greeting Cards each month, and rereleasing the more timely designs. So, without further ado, here are the cards old and new that you can find in the store this month! They will be available until February 6th.

Double Points!

From the period of Friday, January 13th at 12:01 MHQ through Sunday, January 15th at 23:59 MHQ, Premium Members will enjoy double points on ALL Greeting Cards!

Heads up — Friday the 13th is almost here and the Flats are twice as excited as we are!

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have 2 new Limited Edition cards for your deploying pleasure — the 2023 New Year Resolutions Card and the Lunar New Year Rabbit Card!

As they are all Limited Edition cards, the points are as follows:

  • Deploy: 60
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 30

Motivational Message Cards are Back!

First introduced in 2021, like all Limited Edition cards they come in a set of 3! You can shop them HERE!

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!

January 2023 MunzPak Contents Revealed!

Starting this month, we’ve decided to remove the Physical MunzPak from our offerings — after experiencing delays in getting inventory last month, we felt it was best to explore other ways to serve the physical game — keep an eye out for new products that may take its place! Otherwise, if you were planning to pick up a Virtual or Hybrid MunzPak, the next Celtic Zodiac and exclusive Greeting Card will be included as usual! Check out the breakdown of both Paks below for more details!

  • Virtual MunzPak features a variety of virtual munzees that are automatically added to your account each month such as Destination Munzees, Jewels, and more. $~40 value for $25 each month.
  • Hybrid MunzPak is the best of both worlds! Get both physical and virtual munzees such as Places Munzees, Magnets, and more. $~30 value for $20.01 each month.

Never subscribed to MunzPak before? If this is your first month subscribing, you’ll have the chance to earn one-time badges for each type of Pak! All you have to do is stop by the Freeze Tag Online Store and subscribe today!

Garden Hedges are Anything but Static!

We’ve had Garden Gnomes and Garden Flamingos wearing some crazy outfits the past 2 years! In 2023 we wanted to try something a little different for our monthly streak bouncers — a shapeshifting Garden Hedge! Not only does the base hedge change shape when it lands on a virtual munzee — each month, if you earn the skin, it’ll be trimmed and decorated into a different design!

Garden Hedge Details

The Garden Hedge is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until 23:59 MHQ on December 31. It is currently available in the Freeze Tag Store for $12, and each month its price will decrease by $1. You can purchase 1 Garden Hedge every 28 days. If you own at least 8 temporary Garden Hedges at the end of the year, you’ll be able to keep a permanent one going into 2024! 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 GodZEEla Garden Hedge 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 the hedge at any point (more info below!) as long as you have earned it.

Points

  • Garden Hedge
    • Deploy: 500
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 150
  • GodZEEla Garden Hedge
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 300

You can find these carefully trimmed topiaries taking root at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, when a Garden Hedge has an upgraded skin, up to 3 NEW Hedge Flowers may be scattered nearby when it is captured! For instance, when a Garden Hedge has a GodZEEla skin it will scatter Fire Lilies nearby.

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

Points

  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 50

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

How to Change Skins

The process is the same as it has been for the past 2 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

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!

You can see the first of each badge line below, except for the Overall deploy badge line — we’ll reveal that next month!

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 manicured Garden Hedges!

We hope these hedges are the perfect finishing touch to your outdoor decor!

Munzee on!

December 24, 2022

Final Flamingo Blog!

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

December Flamingo Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Flamingo yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $1.

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

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

Where to stock up on Flamingos if you missed out on earlier months:

  • Reseller Garden Flamingos include the base Flamingo AND the special Reseller skin — if you’re interested, you can check out our blog post on them HERE!

Permanent Flamingo Details

In January 2023, if you met the requirement to receive a permanent Garden Flamingo, you’ll see the new Garden Flamingo in your account, which behaves the same way as the original Garden Flamingo we released in January 2022.

Garden Flamingo

All temporary Flamingos deployed in 2022 will be archived before we start the process of adding the new permanent Flamingos to players’ accounts.

Badges

We’ve continued to add badges to the “Overall deploy” and “Overall capture” lines — both lines now have 6 badges each. We’ll keep the requirements a secret, but here are the first of the new badges:

We hope you are ready to put the New Year Garden Flamingo skin to good use!

Munzee on!
