Join us as we celebrate our favorite cyclist with double points!

Surprise! It’s double points on ALL Flat Lou activity starting today, June 17 at 13:00 through June 21 at 23:59. That means all deploys, captures, and cap ons will be worth double points.

WHY? We are so excited to support Louise in her first professional cycling race we thought it would be best to share it with all of you! She is cycling as part of the Škoda DSI Cycling Academy Race Team in the Škoda V-Women’s Tour. This is a 3 stage race taking place today, Thursday, and Friday at 7pm British time. The race is being aired on BBC Sport in the UK and will be available to watch on Facebook and Youtube for the rest of the world.

We hope you will join us in cheering on Louise and her team during this amazing moment in her cycling career. During this time we will also be making a donation to World Bicycle Relief for purchases of Flat Lou in the online store. This donation will be $200 PLUS $0.25 for every Flat Lou sold between now and Sunday at midnight.

Good luck Lou!

Everything is Crystal Clear With These 20/20 Vision Munzees!

These days, you might be doing a lot of online window shopping, especially if you’ve had the time to tidy up your house recently, and have things in bags ready to donate! Perhaps your attentions have been caught by something sparkly and shiny, awakening the hoarder dragon within you? Our eleventh 20/20 Vision Munzee will give you the ability to see the smallest imperfections! These precise jewel-appraising tools were deployed this afternoon at 15:00 MHQ. Have you ever seen one of these being used?

Only six Jeweler Loupes will be deployed, and they will bounce to Greenies every 12 hours or when captured. These will be attracted to Physical Magnets though so be sure to stock up! 

Points:

  • Cap: 200 points
  • CapOn (Host): 100 points

Capturing the Jeweler Loupe will add this shiny Bright Eye badge to your collection! Remember, down the line we’ll be putting out an overall capture line, so don’t forget to check back for updates!

Why are these tools called “loupes”? Those who’ve studied the French language at a basic level might remember the word “loup,” which means “wolf” in English — but those words are not connected at all. However, “loupe” is French in origin! If you know a bit more French, you know that the French word “loupe” means “magnifying glass” in English, which makes much more sense. The word originally meant something closer to “imperfect gem,” but as you can see, its usage has evolved to refer to the item used to examine such objects.

You’ll be able to capture the 20/20 Vision specials on other players’ munzees as well as your own for the remainder of the year! As a reminder, all 20/20 Vision specials will leave the map on 12/31/2020 at 23:59 MHQ. More unique 20/20 Vision specials will launch throughout the year so keep on the lookout — you won’t want to miss out on these bouncing bifocals!

Show us how you Munzee! Tweet us @Munzee or be sure to post a photo and mention us on Facebook (@Munzee) or Instagram (@munzeeapp). Good luck, and Munzee on!

Introducing the All NEW Poseidon Modern Myth Munzee!

All the activity that’s been brewing in the Munzee oceans has attracted the notice of the king of the sea, Poseidon! He kicks off an all new line of munzees that we’re calling Modern Myths, which our WallaBee friends should recognize!

Poseidon will be available for sale starting at 10:00 MHQ time today until 10:00 MHQ time on June 15th!

Poseidon Details

The Poseidon Modern Myth will be available for purchase HERE! He will be spotted bouncing around to Greenies, Water Mysteries, Blue Colored Virtuals*, Aquamarines, Treehouses, and Skylands every 12 hours or when capped.

Each Poseidon is numbered and will be owned by a Munzee player. You can pick this Myth up for $20! The sale is open to anyone regardless of other Mythological ownership. Only ONE (1) Poseidon is allowed per account.

Points

  • Deploy: 250
  • Capture: 200
  • CapOn: 100

What makes a Modern Myth modern? Well aside from his day job as a lifeguard, what also makes Poseidon unique is that when he is captured 3 new munzees will also be scattered nearby — these will either be Tridents or Lifebuoys!

These will scatter like feathers so there are no CapOn points but they are worth 50 points for capture!

Poseidon is able to be upgraded via a Bouncer Upgrade Credit, which gives the ability to be “nudged” or be renamed. The upgrade credit will give you the ability to “nudge” your Poseidon to a new munzee up to three times a day, following the MHQ 24-hour day, after it has been on its host munzee for at least three hours. This nudging ability is only available for the owner via the munzee’s webpage and is not available in the app.

Your munzee will still retain its unique number, but feel free to get creative when it comes to renaming your Poseidon! Just be sure to follow the Player Code of Conduct, and remember Munzee maintains a family-friendly environment.

If you’re hoping to cap one of these brand new Modern Myths, then you’re in luck! Poseidon will be attracted to Munzee Magnets and Virtual Munzee Magnets. You can access Poseidon by turning on your “Only Expiring Specials” and “Only Mythological” filters.

Badges

Deploying Poseidon will earn you the following badge:

All captures will count toward the Myth Collectors badge line. There is also a line of hidden Capture badges that you can earn for Poseidon captures, with 3 badges currently available, but more to come! The first in this line will appear as follows:

Are you interested in owning Poseidon on a personal tag? You can pick one up here!

We hope you’re ready to welcome this new Myth incarnation to the family! Be on the lookout for more Modern Myths to make their way to Earth soon!

Munzee on!

Eventzee App Update In Relation To Munzee

We’re excited to announce a new version of the Eventzee app (and logo!) will be available for download later this week! The latest version of Eventzee has been totally reworked to offer virtual events and scavenger hunts for any occasion.

As excited as we are for the Eventzee team, there will be a transition period regarding the new app. You can read all about the new features, exciting partnerships, and more on the Eventzee blog. The purpose of this announcement on the Munzee blog is to identify some of the key changes, and how they affect Munzee and Eventzee’s relationship.

The new Eventzee app is an entirely new build, so when the new app is available you will not update your current version of the Eventzee app. Instead, you will need to search for the new version in your phone’s app store. This means that the Eventzee database has been restructured as its own and will no longer be a part of Munzee. 

New User Sign-up:

Since Eventzee will no longer be sharing databases, Munzee and Eventzee accounts will no longer be linked. So if you choose to join an Eventzee hunt you will need to create a new account.

Munzee Events:

Moving forward, Eventzee hunts will no longer be an additional add-on item for Munzee Events. This means that bonus points, and badges, etc will no longer be available for future events. However, this is subject to change as we develop our plan on incorporating this new app into Munzee events! 

Please note that some Fall Into Spring events with Eventzee packages are still scheduled on the calendar. These will continue as planned, but players will need to use the previous Eventzee app in order to participate. The new app will be replacing the older app in the App and Play Stores at the end of this week. So if you wish to participate in these Munzee Event hunts you need to make sure to keep the older version of the app on your phone since you will not be able to redownload it. 

Eventzee Legacy Badges

Badges currently available to be earned in Eventzee will become legacy badges. Legacy badges earned will still show in the Munzee app, and any Eventzee hunts completed on the old system (for example at a Fall Into Spring event) will count toward them. The new Eventzee app will not show these badges. 

Eventzee Themed Huntz

The themed scavenger hunts sold earlier this year will not be available in the new Eventzee app.  Anyone who purchased these hunts will still be able to finish them using the old Eventzee app. As stated above, the old app will be supported for the time being, but you must have it downloaded to your phone before the new app is released. 

We appreciate all of your support and hope that should your company, family, or organization need a customized scavenger hunt tool you look no further than Eventzee. This new app is top of the line, and will be able to offer more opportunities than the previous app has ever been able to. Thank you all again, we’re excited to see where Eventzee goes from here!

Aquatic Baby Animals Have Come Out to Play!

Once we started thinking about adding turtles and jellyfish to the game, we couldn’t stop coming up with more animals to add! Luckily, we found a few more animals already swimming around under the ZEE! Starting at 12:00 MHQ on June 5th, Baby Animal specials will begin bouncing around the map until 23:59 MHQ on June 21st.

Baby Animals Details

Players of our sister app, WallaBee, may recognize the art for some of these adorable bouncers, but we’ve added a few new ones to the mix as well! Can you guess which ones they are?

500 of these specials (100 of each released over the next 5 hours) will bounce to the following landing pads:

To shake things up a bit, we’ve set different timers for each Aquatic Baby Animal. Each type will bounce at the listed time below, or when captured.

  • Narwhal- Bounce every 6 hours
  • Penguin- Bounce every 5 hours
  • Crab- Bounce every 4 hours
  • Seal Pup- Bounce every 3 hours
  • Shark- Bounce every 2 hours

Hopefully these varying bounce times will allow everyone the opportunity to capture some of each type! They will be worth 150 points for Capture and 50 points for CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out!

The Baby Animals will be attracted to Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets, respectively. However, they will not be blastable. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Badges

Additionally, there will be six NEW badges to earn based on the number of Aquatic Baby Animal specials you capture. But just how many captures it takes to earn all 6 badges will be kept a secret! However, we will reveal the first badge in the line, which appears as follows:

Marine Map- Capture 1 Aquatic Baby Animal of any type.

The beach may be a great place to relax, but an aquarium gives you the opportunity to see these animals up close! Do you have any photos of fond memories at an aquarium? Please post them in the comments! We’d love to see them!

We hope these aquatic cuties have swum into the depths of your heart!

Munzee on!

NEW World Oceans Day Greeting Card and ZEE-Dayz Follow-up!

UPDATE: The Water Droplet Munzee has been removed from our ZEE-Dayz list. It has also been removed from the gallery below.

If you missed our post yesterday, we gave a preview of everything we’ve prepared for our ZEE-Dayz weekend! However, since the festivities start NOW we thought it’d be a good idea to give you a rundown. But first, let’s start with some totally new information!

We are happy to announce the World Oceans Day Greeting Card is now available for purchase! You can pick up Greeting Cards from the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE. You receive multiple munzees from your single purchase. Read the details in the store, or see below.

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

By popular demand, the World Oceans Day Greeting Card is available HERE in the Freeze Tag Store! Think of it as the most reliable message in a bottle you’ll ever send!

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!

This brings the current lineup of Greeting Cards available for purchase to the following:

  • Open Edition (will always be available; ONE Purchase yields FOUR munzees)
    • Birthday
    • Get Well
    • Thank You
    • Congrats
    • Sorry
    • Sorry 1
    • Sorry 2
    • Sorry 3
  • Limited Edition (will rotate depending on occasion; ONE Purchase yields THREE munzees)
    • Stay Home
    • World Oceans Day

As a refresher, the point structure for Greeting Cards is as follows:

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

Remember that these munzees will be archived 7 days after they are deployed, so make sure your intended recipient captures it before then! Don’t forget these will also be worth double points for the weekend, so get catch a wave and get deploying!

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

Hydras Are Back in the Store!

Check them out HERE! You can get double deploy points on Hydras purchased during the period of 12:00 MHQ on Thursday June 4 to 23:59 MHQ on Monday June 8! Remember that you can purchase multiple of the base-level version of certain myths as of last month, which is perfect for owning all three types of Hydra variants. Now you don’t have to decide between a Ceberus or Cthulu, so be sure and stock up on Bouncer Upgrade Credits!

2x Points on Water-Based Myths!

Yesterday we gave you the list of myths in text form, so we put this gallery together for you visually-oriented players! Enjoy 2x the points on ALL activity for the munzees shown above for the period of 12:00 MHQ on Thursday June 4 to 23:59 MHQ on Monday June 8 (same period as Hydra sales)!

We hope you’re looking forward to a wonderful water-filled weekend!

Munzee on!

ZeeOps- Operation: Smorgasbord (June 2020)

Agents, the process of cleaning the infected files in our databases seems to be going well! We announced last month that we were able to stop the virus’s spread, and now, a month later, that still rings true. Every day, we get closer and closer to a fully recovered HQ!

However, as you know, our work is never over. In the midst of all this, we’ve been receiving seemingly garbled transmissions from an unknown entity. In the case that these transmissions may be trying to inject rogue code into our systems, our engineers have been put to task on decoding them in a safe, staging environment. We will notify you if the engineers discover any relevant information to your tasks. For now, all remaining agents are tasked with completing more missions involving Fire and Ice munzees, Evolution munzees, and Gaming munzees to complete the file-cleaning process. To make the mission details more secure we’ve placed them on pages that are only accessible with your agent login, as you’ll see below.

June 2020 ZeeOps Operations are now live and you can begin planning your Missions to start on the following day. You will only have until June 30th at 23:59 MHQ to complete this month’s Operations. All four Operation types are available for this month- the Basic Op (3 days), the Advanced Op (7 days), the Mega Op (10 days), and the Ultra Op (14 days)!

You can plan your Operations at munzee.com/ops/ and purchase more ZeeCred in the Freeze Tag Online Store. Remember that if you hit a snag at any point in your Operation you can use the Mission Mulligan feature to keep going!

By completing any Operation this month you’ll earn the “Operation: Smorgasbord” badge.

 

This month’s Missions are found at https://www.munzee.com/ops/tasks

To start new Ops and view this month’s rewards please visit https://www.munzee.com/ops/new

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

This message will self destruct in 3… 2… 1…

NEW Evolutions Extend Our Aquatic Wildlife Collection!

We’ve been missing beautiful beach views, the sound of the waves, and glimpses of aquatic wildlife. While we may not be able to do anything in Munzee about the first two, we thought that it’s about time to add some new Evolution Munzees to our roster! Starting June 1 at 00:01 MHQ time, our brand new Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions will be made available through the June MunzPak Subscriptions!

These NEW Evolution Munzees will be available in their corresponding MunzPak Subscriptions, sold in the Freeze Tag Online Store. However, keep in mind that if any MunzPak orders are placed before June 1 at 00:01 MHQ time, players will be receiving the May MunzPak. Both the Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions are a combination of Physicals and Virtuals.


Turtle Evolution Munzees

Stages 1-4 of the Turtle Evos are Physical Munzees, while Stage 5 Turtles will bounce to both physical and virtual landing pads.

The 5 stages of the Turtle Evolution are as follows:

  • Stage 1: Turtle Egg
  • Stage 2: Turtle Hatchling
  • Stage 3: Juvenile Turtle
  • Stage 4: Adult Turtle
  • Stage 5: Turtle (3 Variants)
    • Sea Turtle
    • Snapping Turtle
    • Taekwondo Tortoise- RARE VARIANT!

Jellyfish Evolution Munzees

Stages 1-4 of the Jellyfish Evos are Virtual Munzees, while Stage 5 Jellyfish will bounce to both physical and virtual landing pads.

The 5 stages of the Jellyfish Evolution are as follows:

  • Stage 1: Jellyfish Planula Larva
  • Stage 2: Jellyfish Polyp
  • Stage 3: Jellyfish Bulbed Polyp
  • Stage 4: Jellyfish Ephyra Larva
  • Stage 5: Jellyfish (3 Variants)
    • Box Jellyfish
    • Golden Jellyfish
    • PB & Jellyfish- RARE VARIANT

Evolution Timeline

The stage timeline of the Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions will match that of the Butterfly Evolution. The stages will be as follows:

  • Stage 1 to Stage 2: after 4 days
  • Stage 2 to Stage 3: after 14 days
  • Stage 3 to Stage 4: after 10 days
  • Stage 4 to Stage 5: permanent until reset to stage one

Once these Evolutions reach Stage 4, a temporary POB will be launched. For example, if you’ve deployed a Turtle Evolution, the Juvenile Turtle will remain in place, while the adult Turtle variant will be launched at the same time for the duration of its “lifespan.” Likewise, if you’ve deployed a Jellyfish Evolution, the Jellyfish Bulbed Polyp will remain in place, while the Jellyfish variant will be launched at the same time for the duration of its “lifespan.”

Once these Evolutions reach Stage 5, they will stay in place for 8 hours or when captured, and will not be able to be nudged. Once 10 captures or 42 days have elapsed for Stage 5, the Turtle or Jellyfish will be archived.

The first four stages of the Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions will be the same for all players. However, Stage 5 will have the option of emerging as one of the three different species listed above. Like the Flower Evolutions, the chance of the Turtle or Jellyfish Evolution evolving to one of the 3 types changes every time it is reset with the Evolution Reset Credit.

Using an evolution reset credit will set your Evolution back to Stage 1, for a chance for the Turtle or Jellyfish to evolve to a different species at Stage 5. Although you cannot capture a reset evolution if you have already captured the original from stages 1-4, you CAN capture the final level of a reset when it evolves and releases a new tPOB. An easy way to know is, if you see it on the map you can capture it!

Please note that although the first four stages for each are the same, they will count as different special capture icons. Like all Player Owned Bouncers (POBs), the Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions will be available for multi-capture only as the Level 5 Turtle or Level 5 Jellyfish, respectively.


Points and Landing Pads

The points for the Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions will be as same as the Butterfly Evolution, with 100 points awarded per Stage 1 deploy.

  • Stage 1: Cap: 50, CapOn: 30
  • Stage 2: Cap: 40, CapOn: 20
  • Stage 3: Cap: 45, CapOn: 25
  • Stage 4: Cap: 40, CapOn: 30
  • Stage 5: Cap: 150, CapOn: 50, Host CapOn: 50

Just like real life turtles and jellyfish, the Turtle and Jellyfish Evolution Munzees sometimes swim to dangerous areas including predator filled waters, and high-speed roadways! Bouncing Turtle and Jellyfish Evos will be attracted to the following landing pads:

The Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions will adhere to normal proximity rules. Stage 1 deploys must be at least 50 feet from any other physical type and 150 feet from your own physical munzees. Stages 1-4 are blastable.

Stage 5 of the Turtle and Jellyfish Evos will be attracted to Munzee Magnets and Virtual Magnets. They are NOT blastable. To access the Turtle and Jellyfish Evolution Munzees, turn on your “Evolution” and “All Expiring Specials” filters. The Turtle and Jellyfish Evolutions will count toward Evolution Capture and Deploy badges.

The full contents of the June MuzPak Subscriptions will be revealed on Monday. We hope this latest Evolution has you ready to dive into summer (in the northern hemisphere) in the meantime!

Munzee on!

*Green Colored Virtuals include: 

  • VIRTUAL SEA GREEN MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL GRANNY SMITH APPLE MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL GREEN MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL FOREST GREEN MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL ASPARAGUS MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL OLIVE GREEN MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL YELLOW GREEN MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL GREEN YELLOW MUNZEES
  • VIRTUAL SPRING GREEN MUNZEES

  • All Even numbered days in June beginning at 00:01 MHQ time until 23:59 MHQ time on the same day (June 4,6,8, etc.)

Munzee on!
