UPDATED: Emerald Garden Pins for Sale

Updated to include per person limit.

If you hadn’t noticed, some new Emerald Gardens popped up over the course of Birthday Month. These new gardens were tied to Birthday events as prizes, and during the course of the month, we had to make some adjustments to them due to the massive amount of Birthday Party attendees. In doing so, we overestimated a bit and are now left with a few incomplete gardens. We’re opening up those remaining spots to everyone!

Tomorrow are 15:00 MHQ time, Emerald Garden Pins will be back in the store. They are $10, and you will be randomly assigned an Emerald in one of the gardens. This sale is open to everyone, but there is a limited quantity available. There is also a limit of ONE PER PERSON. This link will go live at sale time. You can also see all of the Official MHQ Emerald Gardens here.

If you were unable to attend a Birthday Event, or you just want an Emerald Munzee, this is your chance!

Munzee on!

Update on the Birthday Present Special

Sadly, this is the last weekend of Birthday Month. While we hate to watch the celebration come to an end, we know there are bigger and better things to come. In full Munzee spirit, though, we’ve decided to go all out this weekend. If you weren’t aware, we started a Double Point Weekend this morning at 00:01 MHQ time. Of course, that’s not all.

For the remainder of Birthday Month, we’ve also updated the Birthday Specials. We’ve made two big changes to them:

Scatter Radius: While a 5 mile scatter radius was representative of our 5th birthday, it isn’t necessarily ideal for all players. Now, instead of scattering within 5 miles, the Birthday Icons will scatter within 1 mile.
Credit Percentage: There are quite a few items you can earn from the Birthday Icons. We’ve changed up the algorithm to increase the chances of getting Diamond and Ruby credits when you capture the Birthday Icon.

So get out there and help us end Birthday Month with a bang! Have fun, and Munzee on!

The Legend of the Pink Diamond

It’s been almost a month since the Dragons unleashed their fury upon the Munzee map. Traversing the globe and igniting fires has led to chaos among the other two Mythological Munzees. They say beauty comes from chaos, though, and we have stumbled upon some of that beauty.

Among the riches that the Dragons were guarding, we found a never before seen gem. This diamond is believe to have been altered by the fire and strength of the Dragons. It gleams a light shade and has become known as the Pink Diamond. While the history of the Pink Diamond isn’t completely known, we do know the point structure of it:

Deploy: 45 points

Capture: Split of 25 points with owner; minimum of 5 points

CapOn: Split of 25 points with capper; minimum of 5 points

(Examples: 20 points for capper, 5 points for owner; 10 points for capper, 15 points for owner)

The rarity of the Pink Diamond is similar to the Topaz Munzee. As such, the Pink Diamond will be a MunzPak exclusive. It will be introduced for the first time in August’s MunzPak. If you’re not yet a MunzPak subscriber, you can visit https://www.munzee.com/munzpak to join and be one of the first players to get your hands on one!

Have fun hunting the new Pink Diamond, and Munzee on!

Lapels Pins and More!

Team Munzee is constantly listening to and trying new ideas for new munzees, products, and merchandise. From your input and sugestions, we’ve created and added some new items to the Munzee Online Store:

Lapel Pins: Along with patches, lapel pins have been one of the most suggested items. We’re happy to announce that we now have two styles of Munzee Lapel Pins in stock with more to come. They’re limited quantity, but more (both quantity and styles) will be available soon.
Decals: Plain Munzee Logo Decals are back in stock. We will have new styles of decals available shortly.
Apparel: New shirts, including a Dragon Munzee shirt have been added to the store, as well.

We’re always open to new suggestions. If you have an idea, feel free to email it to iloveyou@munzee.com.

Show off your Munzee spirit, and Munzee on!

Player of the Week: Jeffrey Thompson (Disneyfan4life85)

As Munzee has grown over the years, the game has evolved in so many more ways than any of the co-founders could have imagined. We’ve certainly had our fair share of growing pains, but in its essence Munzee has tried to stick to its core goal of getting people out into the world. No one knows this better than those players who have been with us since the beginning. This week’s Player of the Week is Jeffrey Thompson (Disneyfan4life85).

Who are you?
My name is Jeffrey Thompson, better known as Disneyfan4life85.

Where in the world do you live?
I live in Winchendon, Massachusetts which no one in the state, let alone the rest of the world, knows where that is. 😀

How long have you played Munzee?
Just over two years,

How did you find Munzee?
I actually found out about it while hiking for some containers with my sister (Freecyclestacy) and her husband (Jasnumbs), and we were curious about what we found. We looked it up and found it was a munzee. We were hooked from there.

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
A couple things I really love:

Meeting new people playing and forming friendships with them, seeing, and meeting up with them.
Deploying. I really love coming up with names and helping people achieve points and different munzees. I love deploying at places I visit such as Florida and my surrounding states. I recently went to Gettysburg, PA for July 4th and earned my Super Duper ULTRA Streak!! As the badge icon shows, I was, to say the least, PUMPED! 😀

What is on your wish list?
It’s a big one, but to Cap and Deploy something in every state in America, and maybe someday, the WORLD 😀

Tell us about yourself:
Well I love the outdoors and hiking. I love spending time with my family and niece and nephew! I love animals, especially a specific famous mouse and everything he’s about 😀

Other hobbies include:
Hiking, Golf, Disc Golf (frolf), Traveling, Movies

Any last words?
A wild explorer is a friend to all, be trees or plants, or tiny fishes, or those that live underground such as moles.

Disneyfan4life85 also included some socials, so cap away!
