REMINDER: Munzee Worldwide Birthday Events

With Munzee’s 4th Birthday just a few weeks away we have so much exciting news on the horizon. Our monthlong celebration of all things Munzee kicks off the first weekend of July with worldwide Birthday parties hosted by you, our players. From July 1-5 we have asked that our international community join us in celebration of four years of Munzeeing by hosting their own Munzee events.

Over the past month we’ve had lots of interest in hosting these worldwide events, due in large part to the promise of a special Birthday event badge. We would like to remind everyone that in order to get this special badge at your event there must be at least ten people who participate in the event and it must be scheduled on the official Munzee calendar. Just visit http://calendar.munzee.com/ to submit your event and be sure to follow along on social media for more Birthday announcements.

These events are also an opportunity for our various clans, groups, and communities to create custom badges and icons for the players in attendance. As stated earlier we have had a lot of events scheduled, many of which have had custom badges and icons created for their events. If you’re interested in hosting an event with custom icons/badges there is a 28 day advance notice required. So if you want special icons/badges for your Munzee Birthday Event you must have that submitted to the Munzee Event Team by June 3rd at 5pm MHQ time or there will be a surcharge.

Events are a perfect way to grow the game in your area, so be sure to spread word through all available avenues.

You Can Now Earn Munzee Badges by Playing Eventzee!

We like to reward our players for reaching milestones in the Munzee universe, and we’re always trying to expand those rewards, especially in the form of badges. We’re proud to announce two new lines of badges that can be earned by playing our photo scavenger hunt- Eventzee. These badges are retroactive and will show in the Munzee app when the badges launch. They will appear in the Eventzee app with the next app update, which is slated for some time next week.

These new badges are the Photographer and Pioneers of Gold lines and will each have three levels with possible future additions. The best way to achieve these badges is to join the free Weekend Photo Scavenger Hunts hosted by Eventzee each weekend. These worldwide hunts run from Thursdays to Sundays with clues going live at 3 PM MHQ time. Your photo will be either approved or rejected and you will earn points based on your submissions. We’ve also included a new cumulative leaderboard that you can visit online at www.eventzeeapp.com/leaderboard.

To join these hunts just find the Weekend Warriors event on the Eventzee in-app calendar and RSVP. If you’re interested in hosting your own Eventzee hunt please contact eventze@munzee.com and we’ll get you set up with the right package!

April showers bring May flowers. Well we here at MHQ have had plenty of rain recently, and we’ve decided to spruce up the map with some of those May flowers. Starting NOW, 555 May Flower icons will be blooming on the physical greenies and bounce every six hours unless captured before then. The capper will receive 17 points while the owner of the host Munzee will receive 7 points. These icons will be on the map until 2359 MHQ time on Sunday, May 31st.

Munzee’s 4th Birthday Worldwide Parties

Join us this July in celebrating the fourth anniversary of Munzee’s creation! A lot has happened in four years and, as those that remember last year’s celebrations know, we like to celebrate. Over the next few months we’ll be releasing Birthday info, but we wanted to give our players some notice about our worldwide Munzee Birthday celebration event. Much like last year we want our players to host their own Munzee birthday parties across the world. We may not be able to join you all in person, but we want to join you in spirit. So from July 1-5 we ask that our worldwide community join us in celebration of four years of Munzeeing!

This year we want to organize it a bit better, so we’re asking that players create their events in the Munzee Calendar from July 1st-5th, 2015. This will help let your local communities know that they can join and also help us see where everyone is celebrating. As an added bonus if you can get ten people to join you at your event we’ll award you with a special Munzee Birthday Host badge! Details are subject to change over the next couple months, but we wanted to give you guys enough notice so you have time to plan these awesome events! Just visit http://calendar.munzee.com/ to submit your event and be sure to follow along on social media for more Birthday announcements.

Munzee Code of Conduct UPDATE

UPDATE: Social Munzees may use any image as long as they are not printed out and deployed in public places. Online forums are acceptable places to share socials with personalized (and perhaps copyrighted) images.

The Munzee Player Code of Conduct has been updated to include an additional restriction. When printing and deploying your own munzees it is prohibited to include unauthorized trademarked or copyrighted images/designs/logos/information on Munzee skins.This action is taken to protect players and Munzee as a whole. The restriction will not impact the vast majority of players and will be easy to avoid moving forward from this point.

Players who have deployed Munzees past, present and future with images prohibited by this new restriction will have until May 15th to replace, undeploy, or archive any Munzee in violation. Trademark and Copyright infringement is a crime and we do not want anyone to break the law when playing Munzee. For more information on this restriction and the general Player Code of Conduct please visit the following link.

Munzee API is now open to developers

EDIT: MUNZEE API IS NO LONGER OPEN TO ANY DEVELOPERS AS OF AUGUST 2023

With almost 3 million deployments and 45 million captures around the world, we have been asked many times over the years about giving developers access to that data to create their own apps using the Munzee API in different ways. Until now we haven’t had infrastructure in place to support it, but after working the past few weeks we’re proud to announce that we’ve made it a reality. We have created a streamlined, fairly easy to use method for developers to access our data to create applications from the Munzee platform.

Munzee is a small team and we can’t build everything we want, so it’s time to incorporate you, the developer. We think this is a great opportunity to help grow our game and give our talented players the chance to make something great. Below you’ll find the links to get started and if you have any questions, suggestions, comments – please email api@munzee.com.

Zee app Tutorial

Our helpful intern Matt McCann has put together a quick video to help you understand how our new Munzee companion app Zee works. The following video goes through the app, shows you how to change dates and convert both physical and virtual munzees.

TRANSCRIPT:

Hey guys, This is Matt and I’ll be walking you through how to use the new Zee companion app. This app is great for following your day to day progress and will take your Munzee experience to the next level. So let’s get started.

SIGN IN, POINT COUNTER and MHQ CLOCK:
After downloading the app just sign in with your Munzee account info. Once you sign in you’ll be brought to the real time daily point counter. This will show you how many points you have for the days, how many caps, deploys and cap ons you have and let you know how much time is left in the official MHQ day. This is based on MHQ time so no matter where in the world you are you’ll know how much time is left in the day.

If you want to look back on a past day in the week just click in the top right corner to the hamburger menu. Here you will see your profile image, current level and overall points. By clicking on any day you can look back on your progress.

CONVERTING PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL MUNZEES:
Next up we’ll look at converting a munzee. Just go back to that hamburger menu and scroll to the bottom where it says “CONVERT.” Just click here to start the process. Here you’ll be able to convert your deployed Munzees into any of the special credits you may have. This list is in order of most recent deployed, but you can also search by Munzee name as well. So I’m going to convert a Greenie I deployed recently into a diamond. Just click on the Munzee you want, click which credit you would like to convert and confirm and you’re good to go.

Next we’ll convert a virtual into a color. This is very similar to converting a physical. Just click which one you want to convert, pick the credit- in this case I’m picking a red color conversion. Click, confirm and you’re good to go.

So that’s it, it’s pretty easy. I just click this menu to go back. As you can see this is also where you would leave feedback or log out.
