February 2022 Skin: Valentines Flamingo

As the month comes to a close, we wanted to make sure you were heading into February with your desired Flamingos! The skin for completing your January capture streak (and the corresponding badge) which is the New Year skin we revealed at the start of the month, will be awarded in early February, but we couldn’t wait to share what’s in store for next month!

January Flamingo Reminders

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

Each month, the price of a Flamingo will decrease by $1. However, players can only purchase 1 Flamingo every 28 days.

Don’t forget that you’ll need to own at least 8 Flamingos by the end of the year to have a permanent one next year — so make sure to stock up soon if you’re a fan of these brightly-colored lawn decorations!

February Flamingo Details

What Flamingo Skin can you look forward to earning in February? The lovey-dovey Valentines Garden Flamingo! Like the other flamingos, the Valentines Garden Flamingo is a temporary POB that will remain on the map as long as players with permanent Garden Flamingos continue to use it.

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 flamingo to this one at any point — refer to our Help Guide article for the instructions!

Points

  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300

You can find these infatuated fowls floating to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Valentines Garden Flamingo will scatter up to 3 NEW Lovely Feathers nearby when it is captured!

Like the other Flamingo Feathers, the Lovely Feathers will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flamingo 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 flamingo feather scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Flamingo Feathers are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

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

Badges

As a reminder, Garden Flamingos 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 flamingos you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned flamingo!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many flamingos 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 Valentines Garden Flamingo:

We hope you are head-over-heels for February’s Flamingo Skin!

Munzee on!

New Zodiac Badges + Sale for Chinese New Year!

As we were brainstorming ways to celebrate Chinese New Year, we realized that Chinese Zodiacs were missing a crucial component that adds to the appeal of ALL munzee types — a badge line! It’s been almost 4 years since this type was introduced, so the badges are long overdue! To prevent the same thing from happening with Egyptian Zodiacs, we’ve gone ahead and created a line for it as well. But before we get into the badge line details, we’d like to direct your attention to the related sale we’ve got going on right now!

Sale Details

Western and Chinese Zodiacs are 22% off, while Egyptian Zodiacs can be bought individually for $3! You can shop the sale HERE.

To make the most of it, please note the points listed below:

  • The sale will take place from Thursday, January 27th at 12:00 MHQ to Tuesday, February 1st at 23:59 MHQ
  • Discount code will be applied automatically
    • Only 1 discount code can be used at a time, so if there’s another discount you’d like to use, you’ll have the option to change which code is applied

Badges

As stated above, there are 2 separate badge lines — one for Chinese Zodiacs and one for Egyptian Zodiacs. They are based on overall points earned with their respective Zodiac munzees, and there are 4 badges to earn in each line. The badge art depicts constellations in the night sky, similar to the original Western Zodiac badge line!

The badges are live as of 12:00 MHQ today. We won’t spoil all of them, but you can check out the first badge in each line below:

As these badge lines are retroactive, you may have already met the requirements for some of them, and should see them on your account soon! If not, please wait a few days as our system catches up with awarding these new badges to everyone who has earned them, before contacting support.

Munzee on!

January 2022 GOTM Winners

Continuing last year’s tradition of monthly lawn ornaments, we kicked of the year by officially launching Garden Flamingos! Shortly after, we had a mini ZEE-Dayz to celebrate World Hypnotism Day and have the map all nice and clean for 2022. The next week, we celebrated National Sticker Day by topping up sticker orders with extra free ones, and then celebrated National Hat Day with a full-size ZEE-Dayz for the weekend and NEW MOBs running through early February. Last week, we released the details on the latest Secret ZeeOp, awarded the 2021 Leaderboard Badges, and had a very successful Moving Sale!

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

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 Flamingo @ Den Treek Leusden garden, designed by Wawie, and the Florida Flamingo garden, designed by dt07751 and hunniees, as our winning January GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Flamingo @ Den Treek Leusden by Wawie in Leusden, The Netherlands

While the garden is beautiful enough with just Virtual Colors, the addition of Electric Mysteries to spell out the year can make capping this garden a little more interesting with their Charge scatters!

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

I would like to nominate my Flamingo Garden. I created this garden to celebrate that 2022 is the year of the Flamingo. The garden is placed in a beautiful wooded area in the Netherlands. A nice detail is that the bill of the flamingo is directed towards what we call in Dutch “Vogelwater.” The exact English translation of “Vogelwater” is “bird water.” Because there are no flamingos in the wild in the Netherlands, this water will not attract real flamingos. But I know that this flamingo will attract many Virtual Flamingos in the coming year. Special thanks to Nico and Jeen for their help.

This garden immediately caught our eye due to how well-done it was! We love the use of different pink, red, and purple Virtual Colors to give the main body of the flamingo some dimension, and similarly the different yellow, brown and green shades on the beak! Like Wawie wrote, this garden is sure to attract many virtual Flamingos, and many Munzee players as well!

Florida Flamingo by dt07751 and hunniees in Tampa, FL

While we were unfortunately unable to filter out the Flat Matts running through the garden, they do resemble a bokeh effect on the sun’s rays leading directly to the flamingo’s eye.

This garden was submitted 3 years ago, and now it’s finally its time to shine! It’s a square-shaped garden depicting a simple scene — a flamingo standing in a flower-lined pool under the hot sun — but we think it’s a great tribute to the Floridian Munzee community!

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 last year, we announced that we were holding off on POTM for now as we develop a new way to highlight our unique player base!

2022 Moving Sale!

If you were keeping an eye on our social media last month, you may recall that we’ve recently moved offices. As usual, during the process we found some inventory that’s been sitting around on our shelves for far too long! So, we’ve decided to do a special Moving Sale — everything is 15% off at the Freeze Tag Store!

To make the most of it, please note the points listed below:

  • The sale will take place from Thursday, January 20th at 12:00 MHQ to Sunday, January 23rd at 23:59 MHQ
  • The order must be worth $25 or more
  • Discount code will be applied automatically
    • Only 1 discount code can be used at a time, so if there’s another discount you’d like to use, you’ll have the option to change which code is applied
  • Discount applies to EVERYTHING in the store, even virtual items!

NOTE – The Garden Flamingo has temporarily been removed from sale and will return to the store on Monday.

We hope this allows you to stock up on your Munzee essentials!

Munzee on!

2021 Yearly Leaderboard Badges!

At first glance, Munzee seems like a pretty simple game. Scan physical munzees to get points. Tap on virtual munzees to get even more points. There are different types of physical munzees and different types of virtual munzees that award you with varying numbers of points. Simple, right?

What’s not so simple is how to stay on top of all the numerous active players! While more established players do have an advantage in terms of deployed munzees (rake in those CapOn points!), they face difficulties in finding munzees to cap, especially if they are active in Clan Wars! Taking advantage of special ZEE-Dayz, attending Munzee Events, and other strategies are necessary to maintain or improve their ranking.

We started this badge line in 2019 to recognize the hard work (and play!) from those on top. After living through another difficult year due to the pandemic, we are always looking for reasons to celebrate. Continuing the tradition, we would like to recognize the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place on the overall yearly leaderboard for 2021! These accomplished players are, as follows:

  1. dt07751
  2. humbird7
  3. hunniees

Congratulations to dt07751 for taking home the top spot this time! As the reigning King of Munzee, he’s consistently been somewhere at the top of the leaderboard over the years. But while he makes it look easy — to the point where it feels like a given that he’s at the top — nothing could be further from the truth. It takes constant munzee-ing to beat out humbird7, hunniees, and the rest of the players at the top!

We hope this year will remain Munzee-filled for these three, and that everyone else reaches for the stars — after all, this could be you next year!

Munzee On!

Secret ZeeOps- Operation: ICEolation (January 2022)

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.

Are you ready to brave the cold to investigate an arctic outpost? If you complete ALL the missions in Operation: ICEolation, you’ll receive the snazzy badge below, along with the new Abominable SN0W Machine 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.

Abominable SN0W Machine Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the Abominable SN0W Machine is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 15 times.

Points

  • Deploy: 550
  • Capture: 250 – 350
  • CapOn: 100 – 200
  • Frostbitten (15th Cap): 500

You can find these rugged robots stomping to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Abominable SN0W Machines will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Abominable SN0W Machines on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Abominable SN0W Machine visits you. Abominable SN0W Machines are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Abominable SN0W Machines by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When a Abominable SN0W Machine is captured, it will scatter up to 3 SN0W Bombs.

The SN0W Bombs are similar to SC4RABs (as you’ll see below):

  • Capture:
    • Explode Result: lose 10 points
    • Freeze Result: 25 points
    • Disarm Result: 75 points
  • CapOn: 25 – 50 points

They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet.

Badges

As with other Munzee Mechz, the badge for deploying the Abominable SN0W Machine depicts the Blueprints, and is shown below.

There is also a badge for capturing an Abominable SN0W Machine. You can see what that badge looks like below:

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

National Hat Day Specials + a Cap-tivating ZEE-Dayz!

We had a mini ZEE-Dayz at the start of the month to tide everyone over as we caught up on e-mails and other tasks coming back from the holidays — but we also prepped a full-sized ZEE-Dayz to go along with some new MOBs! Read on for everything you need to know!

National Hat Day Specials

Since it’s National Hat Day tomorrow, starting at 12:00 MHQ today, Hats will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on February 6th.

The various hat styles will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 100 each. In addition, more hats will appear as the month goes on, so make sure to keep an eye out! They will bounce around on the map every 4 hours or when captured. You can find National Hat Day specials at the following munzees near you:

Points

  • Capture: 150 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

National Hat Day specials will be attracted to Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Friday, January 14th at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, January 16th at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture a Flat Rob OR Fancy Flat Rob, up to 3 Flat Hats may be scattered nearby!

The Flat Hats will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flat Rob or Fancy Flat Rob owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These flat hat scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Flat Hats are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points

For more information about Flat Rob and Fancy Flat Rob, check out our Help Guide article!

Flat Rob Discount!

Need more Flat Robs near you? We’ve got a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” discount at the Freeze Tag Store! You must add 3 Flat Robs to your cart to use it, and are limited to 2 uses per order (in other words — put 6 in the cart, pay for 4, 2 are free).

There is NO CODE required — the discount should apply automatically! It will be valid for the same time period as the scatters mentioned above.

Double Points Details

From the period of Friday, January 14th at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, January 16th at 23:59 MHQ (same period as Flat Hat scatters), enjoy double points on ALL Gnome Hats!

Please note that the image above shows most, but not all of the Gnome Hats — it is just for illustrative purposes, so even if a Gnome Hat is not in the image, it should still be worth double points during the period stated above.

Badges

There will be four badges to earn for National Hat Day specials. Three of them will require you to capture a certain number of these specials. The final badge requires you to capture each of the Hats that are released! You can see the first badge below.

As for Flat Rob and Fancy Flat Rob scatters, there are two badges to earn during the period stated above. Make sure you cap as many Flat Hats as you can to receive both badges shown below!

It’s up to you to find the hats for the remaining 3 badges! Cap as many of these specials as you can to set yourself up for success!

We hope you haven’t gone mad as a hatter with all that info — thanks for reading until the end!

Munzee on!

A Mini ZEE-Dayz for QRew and ZeeQRew Members!

Last month we hinted at a future occasion in which you’d need to have QRew or ZeeQRew status to participate. In honor of World Hypnotism Day, we’ve put together this short ZEE-Dayz event which should hopefully help you meet your Clan Wars goals for the month and also give the map a much-needed winter cleaning — read on to get the deets!

Double Points Details

From the period of Monday, January 3rd at 00:01 MHQ through Tuesday, January 4th at 23:59 MHQ, enjoy double points on ALL QRewzees and SleepZees!

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

Badge

There is also a badge which has a unique two-part requirement:

  1. The total number of QRewzee and SleepZee captures during this period must be at least 1,000 combined (this is cumulative across the entire community)
  2. You must cap at least 1 QRewzee or SleepZee

Dreamweaver- As a Munzee community, work together to capture at least 1,000 QRewzees and SleepZees combined. Make sure to capture at least 1 yourself!

As this event is going on during the start of Clan Wars, we think you’ll make quick work of this goal!

New ZeeQRew Store Pack

We’ve also added a new pack to the QRewzee Collection in the Freeze Tag Store at a discount!

Shop Here: https://store.freezetag.com/collections/zeeqrew

We hope this increases the fun factor of map maintenance!

Munzee on!

Garden Flamingos are Ready to Mingle!

Last year’s Garden Gnomes were perfect for adding a charming, fairytale-inspired touch to your home. But perhaps your tastes lean more towards the eclectic and tropical? If so, we think you’ll be excited for this year’s Monthly tPOB!

Garden Flamingo Details

The Garden Flamingo 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 Flamingo every 28 days. If you own at least 8 temporary Garden Flamingos at the end of the year, you’ll be able to keep a permanent one going into 2023! Plus you can continue using all the skins you’ve collected each month!

This year, we’re doing something different — instead of including the first skin with all January purchases of the base Garden Flamingo, you will have to keep your streak up in January to receive it 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 flamingo at any point (more info below!) as long as you have earned it.

Points

  • Garden Flamingo
    • Deploy: 500
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 150
  • New Year Garden Flamingo
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 300

You can find these kitschy cuties wading to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, when a Garden Flamingo has an upgraded skin, up to 3 NEW Flamingo Feathers may be scattered nearby when it is captured! For instance, when a Garden Flamingo has a New Year skin it will scatter Festive Feathers nearby.

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

The rewards for Flamingo Feathers are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Garden Flamingos of ANY type will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Garden Flamingos on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Garden Flamingo visits you. Garden Flamingos are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Garden Flamingos 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 year, 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 Flamingos 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 flamingos you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned flamingo!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many flamingos as you can find!

You can see the first of each badge line below:

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 flock of these fancy Garden Flamingos!

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

Munzee on!
