March Flat Friends and QRewzdays Schedules!

March is when the year starts to get busy again, because there’s something for everyone — March Madness, spring/fall festivals, new movie, book, and music releases, and for anyone in school — finals. We hope you’ll include Flat Friends and QRewZees in your thoughts as you plan out your schedule for this month!

March Flat Schedule

Our Flat Friends will all be on the map for Rob’s birthday on March 10th! They also want to visit as many Fall into Spring events as possible so they will be on the map from March 17 through April 19th. Here is what the rest of March 2020’s Flat Friends schedules look like:

Get a 2-for-1 Deal on Our Next Pair of Glasses!

Who needs Transitions lenses when you’ve got these babies?! Our fourth 20/20 Vision Munzee boasts 2 settings that allow you to adapt to your surroundings! These neon frames were deployed this afternoon at 15:00 MHQ. If you didn’t see any sparks fly on Valentine’s Day, maybe changing up your look with these glasses will make a difference!

Only two pairs of Flip Glasses will be deployed, and they will bounce to all colors of virtuals every 12 hours or when captured. These will be attracted to Virtual Magnets though so be sure to stock up! 

Points:

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

Capturing the Flip Glasses will add this totally rad Seeing Double 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!

 

Despite their somewhat strange appearance, flip glasses have had a resurgence in recent years thanks to the increasing popularity of retro fashion and celebrities such as Lady Gaga sporting them. Have you ever owned a pair of flip glasses? We have a theory that every American received a pair of flip glasses and an umbrella hat at some point in their childhood.

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 trendy lenses!

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!

New Jewels Discovered in the Munzee Mines!

Back in 2015, we thought that we had completed our collection of Jewel Munzees with the release of the Amethyst. We even created the Family Jewels badge to celebrate! The MHQ Mining Co. refocused its efforts to dig up as many of the 6 jewels as it could, and abandoned exploratory digs to search for more. In 2016, the Pink Diamond was discovered in dragon hoards. As it was the result of the dragons’ fiery magic, the MHQ Mining Co. still believed that there were no new jewels left to discover. Turns out, they just had to dig a little deeper!

Our latest Jewel Munzees are here to bling up your part of the map! You can pick up the Citrine Jewel Munzee from the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE, and the Onyx Jewel Munzee HERE. If you have PinPoints, you’ll also have the option to purchase them in the PinPoints store! There is NO limit on purchase quantity per player. You can shop the entire Jewel Collection HERE!

Citrine and Onyx Jewel Details

To round out our rainbow of jewels, the Citrine and the Onyx were designed as virtual types. Now both physical and virtual players have five options each if they want something shiny!

Capture Radius: 300 feet, blastable

Deploy: 40 points for Citrine, 50 points for Onyx

Capture: 45 points for Citrine, 50 points for Onyx

CapOn: 40 points for both

To access these jewels, turn on your “Virtual – Jewels” filter. For more information on how to deploy a Citrine or an Onyx, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Some properties of these new jewels have yet to be discovered — will they attract myths like the Ogre, Chimera, etc., and if so, which? In the coming weeks we’ll need help from you, our fellow gemologists, to run some tests! Don’t forget to keep an eye out for any changes!

2x Jewels Weekend! 

To celebrate the launch of these two new Jewel types we’re making ALL Jewel Munzees worth double points for the weekend! Starting at 00:01 MHQ on February 21 players will be able to earn double points on Jewel Captures, Deploys, and CapOns. The bonus will last until 23:59 on Sunday February 23. This should help those in February Clan Wars, so be sure to stock up on Citrine and Onyx Jewels, and don’t forget we have the new Virtual Jewel Booster Pack and the Physical Jewel Booster Pack to earn even more points this weekend! You can shop the whole Jewel Collection HERE!

Munzee on!

Finding A Munzee Event Near You Has Never Been Easier!

Munzee Events have proven time and time again to be a great way to maintain the wonderful player community and to grow the game by introducing it to new players. As we’ve said before, one of our goals this year is to make Munzee Events easier for both hosts and attendees. We’ve taken steps toward that for hosts with our line of Event Spotlight blog posts, so now it’s time for us to do the same for attendees! 

We’re excited to announce that you’ll now be able to check out Munzee Events near you and more in our latest over-the-air (OTA) update!

Upcoming Events Screenshot

Munzee Events List Updates

One feature we’ve always wanted to improve in the app was the Events area. If you aren’t sure what we’re talking about, here’s a quick tutorial — tap on the Hamburger Menu and then tap on [Munzee Events].

We decided to take the best of both worlds! The current version of the app was designed to show much more helpful information than the Event Indicator pin’s munzee details. Now, the app displays the same information displayed on the Munzee Calendar, combined with the old way of showing the Event Indicator pin’s location. The list now shows the following:

  • Name of the event
  • Date of the event
  • Time of the event
  • A button to take you to the Munzee Calendar details

Additionally, events are now ordered in the list by date and time, which should be helpful for days with a series of events, such as the recent SunCoast and OzDayZee events, or the upcoming Munzee Madness 9 events! Distance-wise, events up to 500 miles away will appear in the list, in case you feel like taking a LONG drive!

Event Details Screenshot

Munzee Events Details Updates

We also updated what happens when you tap on an Event Indicator in the list to view its details. Along with the name, date, and time of the event, there is also:

  • A link out to the Munzee Calendar so you can easily mark whether you’re attending the event
    • NOTE: You’ll need to log into your Munzee account on the Calendar page for this to go through!
  • The address of the event location
  • Any extra details provided by the event host

As before, you can use the [Map] button to jump to the Event Indicator pin’s location on the map. This makes it easy to check if you’ve deployed any munzees nearby so you can rack up the points once the event takes place!

We hope this makes it much easier to find an event to look forward to, to pencil in some time for Munzee in your busy schedule, and to find more Munzee players nearby!

If you are a prospective Event Host, we hope this gives you a push in the right direction, as it should be much easier for people to find out about your event! Don’t forget that we are currently offering Spring Event packages if you want to match with our current theme!

Munzee On!

Sparks Fly on Valentine’s Day with these Goggles!

If you are a fan of Steampunk culture or have binge-watched too many episodes of Forged in Fire, our third 20/20 Vision Munzee is the perfect finishing touch to any outfit! These protective specs were deployed this afternoon at 15:00 MHQ, joining the Spectacular Spectacles and The King’s Sunglasses!

Only two pairs of Welding Goggles 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 Welding Goggles will add this industrial Bonds of Steel 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!

 

According to Safety Glasses USA,

Welding Goggles are designed to provide protection for certain types of Gas Welding or Oxygen Cutting applications. Welding Goggles not only protect your eyes from the heat and flying debris, but also from intense ultraviolet and infrared light. Failure to use proper Welding Goggles can result in Photokeratitis, a painful condition similar to receiving a severe sunburn of the cornea!

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 trendy lenses!

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!

ZeeOps- Operation: RE:vive (February 2020)

At the end of last year, ZeeOps HQ’s Neurological Memory Technology was under attack by The Rising Sons. Although it was believed that enemies had hacked ZeeOps HQ’s Neurological Memory Technology, it turns out it was a sleeper cell within our ranks. In fact it was the recently rescued Director Zee that forced agents to relive previous ZeeOps missions! It seems the Rising Sons really did a number on Director Zee…

Unfortunately, we’ve had to purge much of the corrupted data, and Director Zee is still on the mend after he was brainwashed by the Rising Sons. Although this is disheartening, we have found a silver lining: our training prompts appear to be jogging some of the Director’s memories! It’s up to you to help the Director regain control by reliving specific past missions. Can you revive the heart of ZeeOps HQ?

February 2020 ZeeOps Operations are now live and you can begin planning your Missions to start on the following day. You will only have until February 29th at 23:59 MHQ to complete this month’s Operations. There are only two Operation types available for this month- the Basic Op (3 days) and the Advanced Op (7 days). The window of time to complete missions may be shorter, but we believe in you!

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! This month features a variety of munzee types so be sure to stock up in the Freeze Tag Online Store.

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

 

This month’s Missions are as follows:

Level 1

  • Defensive Training – Deploy at least 10 munzees.
  • Offensive Training – Capture at least 25 munzees.
  • Basic Training + – Earn at least 1000 points.
  • Seeing Stars I – Capture at least 15 Zodiac Munzees of any type.
  • Bountiful Bouncers – Capture at least 6 of any type of POB.

Level 2

  • Group Training – Earn at least 500 cap-on points.
  • Precious Stone Stockpiler – Capture at least 20 jewels.
  • Spurious Stones – Deploy at least 5 jewels.
  • Exemplary Evolutions – Deploy at least 10 physical or virtual Evolution Munzees.
  • It’s Not Easy Being Green – Capture at least 15 and deploy at least 5 Greenies.

Completing Operations will give you some hard earned rewards as well.

This month’s rewards are:

Basic Op
2 Virtuals, 2 Virtual Colors, 1 Sapphire, 1 Briefcase, 125 Zeds and 5 ZeeCred

Advanced Op

2 Virtuals, 2 Virtual Colors, 1 Surprise, 1 Prize Wheel, 2 Temporary Virtuals, 1 Magnet, 1 Night Vision Goggles, 300 Zeds and 10 ZeeCred

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

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

February 2020 MunzPak Featuring Heartbreaker POBs!

It’s February already?! It feels like this year is just getting started! Don’t worry though — this month’s MunzPaks are definitely NOT a repeat of January’s. For this month each Pak includes a NEW Heartbreaker Munzee, which is a temporary Player Owned Bouncer! We’re very excited to share these three new types with you. You can find a break down below!

MunzPak is a monthly subscription service that delivers munzees directly to your door! Each of our three MunzPak options contain a variety of munzees, including some new items that you won’t be able to find anywhere else! The three different types of MunzPaks that you can subscribe to each month are as follows:

  • Physical MunzPak features blocks of generic stickers and pre-coded stickers including brand new munzees which can only be purchased through the subscription service. $~25 value for $15 each month.
  • 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! A note from support, if you are already subscribed and want to edit your settings or delivery date: To edit your munzpak, you need to use the link that was sent in the email from when you first subscribed. The email is titled “Your recurring order charge confirmation from Freeze Tag Store”.

The February MunzPaks will contain the items listed below, effective as of 00:01 MHQ time on February 1. Please note that any purchases made before then will be for the January MunzPak, which contains different items.

Heartbreakers

Like the Aussie Animals, these Heartbreakers are temporary POBs. Unlike Aussie Animals, they bounce to either physical or virtual munzees, depending on the MunzPak you purchased. They will stay on the map until 23:59 MHQ on March 31, when they will be automatically archived on your account. If you’ve ever deployed a Butterfly or Frog Evolution munzee, these will behave similarly with a few exceptions.

  • Deploy: 214 points
  • Capture: 214 points
  • CapOn: 100 points

Red Heartbreaker Munzee

They say red is the color of passion, which is what you’ll feel if you give this guy an inch! This playboy Heartbreaker Munzee dashes to the following:

  • Greenies
  • Diamond
  • Ruby
  • Aquamarine
  • Topaz
  • Pink Diamond

Pink Heartbreaker Munzee

She’s the prettiest girl in school and she knows it! This haughty Heartbreaker Munzee struts to the following:

  • All colors of Virtuals
  • Emerald
  • Amethyst
  • Sapphire

Yellow Heartbreaker Munzee

He seems like the total package, but is he just leading you on? This handsome Heartbreaker Munzee glides to the following:

  • Greenies
  • All colors of Virtuals
  • Premium Munzees
  • Diamond
  • Ruby
  • Aquamarine
  • Topaz
  • Pink Diamond
  • Emerald (V)
  • Amethyst (V)
  • Sapphire (V)

Heartbreakers will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Heartbreaker on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Heartbreaker visits you. However, Heartbreakers will be non-blastable. They will be attracted to Physical Magnets on Greenies and Virtual Magnets on all colors of Virtual Munzees. You can access Heartbreakers under the “Only Expiring Specials” filter.

Badges

All players who purchase a MunzPak (which will automatically deploy the respective Heartbreaker) will also receive the respective deploy badge shown below:

Additionally, there will be three badges anyone can earn based on number of captures of Heartbreaker specials. But just how many captures it takes to earn all 3 badges will be kept a secret! However, we will reveal the first badge in the line, which appears as follows:

Love At First Sight- Capture 1 Heartbreaker Munzee of any type.

Remember these temporary POBs will only be available for capture until the end of March, so cap as many as you can and keep them bouncing!

Munzee on!

Sound Off in Our New Survey!

Back in September, we circulated a survey with some questions we had about Munzee gameplay. We got a great number of responses, and released some of the results when the survey period ended in October. The team found the results extremely valuable, since they let us know which areas we were on track in, and which we need to work on. We also came up with more ideas to improve the game based on the results. After doing a lot of brainstorming for this year, we have a ton of ideas we’d like to run by you, the players!

The link to the survey is HERE.

To sweeten the deal, we’ll be doing another random prize drawing! Like in our previous survey, you can submit your username at the end for an entry.

The survey will be closed at the end of February (Leap Day). We are looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Munzee On!

January 2020 GOTM Winners!

January is usually a slow month since we’re catching up on tasks left from the previous year on top of planning for the new year. However, January 2020 has been anything but slow! We kicked off the year with our new 20/20 Specials, contributed to Australian relief efforts with 3 new official gardens and Aussie Animals, and launched a new app update, among many other things! That being said, we aren’t too busy to keep up with a little gardening! We are happy to announce the winners of the January Garden of the Month (GOTM), give one last reminder for January Player of the Month (POTM), and announce the criteria for February POTM! The badges for January GOTM and POTM will be awarded in early February, but we couldn’t wait to share the winners we’ve chosen!

January GOTM

This month, we chose gardens that put us in a positive mood just by looking at them! 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 Helsinki colour Garden, designed by Jesnou, Sivontim, Mandello & Neesu, and the Smile Garden, designed by Whatsoverthere, as our winning January GOTM! The gardens will appear as follows:

Helsinki Colour Garden by Jesnou, Sivontim, Mandello & Neesu in Helsinki, Finland

A simple but striking design!

This beautiful garden was designed to show off the 50+ new colors we made available for virtual Munzees in 2018! We love the shimmery effect created by arranging the gradation of colors just so, and the inclusion of virtual Jewel Munzees! 

Smile Garden by Whatsoverthere in Hagerstown, MD

Will this spark a trend in emoji-themed gardens?

This garden was completed just in time for the Happy Holidays Buddy! event, which our very own Daniel Hammock attended! 

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.

Send your nomination for GOTM to iloveyou@munzee.com! 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.

Australia Relief Virtual Garden Badge

As a special thank you to everyone who helped to fill the aforementioned relief gardens, we created an exclusive badge! We were amazed at how quickly the spots filled up! Everyone who deployed in at least 1 of the 3 relief gardens will receive the following badge:

January POTM

January POTM’s requirements called for nominations of Munzee Weather Warriors, aka Munzee Foul-Weather Players. We are seriously impressed by the dedication all the nominees have shown!

All players who have been nominated will receive the following POTM badge. If some deserving players have just popped in your head, you still have one day left! E-mail those nominations to iloveyou@munzee.com! You can expect to see the badge in early February.

Thank you for having a love so strong for Munzee that bad weather doesn’t scare you off!

February POTM Requirements

For February’s POTM we want you all to nominate players who are often paired up. We’re looking for Munzee Power Couples! These pairs don’t have to be romantically involved — friend pairs are just as qualified! These players are practically joined at the hip and are always considerate of each others’ goals (“Have you capped the Alternamyth that just popped up?” or “See if you can use a blast here!”). The players that play together stay together (and Munzee On!) so we want to spread the love!

As in the previous months, this unique POTM badge is eligible for any player to earn regardless of previous wins. The badge will appear as follows:

Know any Munzee pairs to rival Sonny and Cher? We’re trying out something new this time — please send us your nominations by filling out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/qjoyRLZQKV7VQrj17

Munzee on!
