Eventzee Special Icons are on the Munzee map!

EventzeeLogo copy Eventzee has invaded Munzee! Eventzee’s president Bob has seemingly declared war on Munzee and now Eventzee special icons are popping up all over on the Munzee app. So it’s up to the Munzee players to get out there and cap all of those Eventzee pins before it’s too late! We want peace with Eventzee though, so when you cap one of these special physical pins you’ll be taken to the Eventzee website where you can download the app. Both Munzee and Eventzee can live cohesively, but to do that you’ll need to download the app and join the free weekly photo hunt. It’s actually a lot of fun to play Eventzee too though, so give it a shot and appease Bob Vardeman.

2,015 Eventzee icons have attached to physical greenies across the map and will bounce every 6 hours unless captured before then. By finding at least one Eventzee special you’ll also be awarded with a special Eventzee badge. Eventzee caps work like mystery munzees in that you’ll receive either 5, 10, 15 or 20 points for capture and cap on. You may not capture your own munzee. You can see if there are any pins near your at http://www.munzee.com/eventzee.

Be sure to join Eventzee’s free weekly photo hunts once you download the app. Check the Eventzee blog to see new clues added daily and compete for your chance to win prizes each week. This week’s winner will be awarded $100 USD and some virtual munzee products!

Eventzee AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD NOW

Scavenger Hunts Made Easy.

The App is available for download now through the Apple store or Google play. Once you’ve finished downloading the app, join us for our free weekly Eventzee events. Each week we have worldwide photo hunts that anyone can play. Compete with people around the world and get a taste of what it’s like to play Eventzee- maybe even take notes for your own hunt. Check out the Eventzee blog daily for new clues and watch the in-app leaderboard to see your rank!

This simple idea has become so much more, but at its core Eventzee is here to ease the tedious task of setting up privatized and personalized scavenger hunts.

As Munzee’s community expanded, a need arose for hosting private Munzee events in an easy fun, way. We recognized an opportunity to develop a new app that would make privatized scavenger hunts easier and more customizable for smartphones. What resulted was Eventzee, the easiest way to host private scavenger hunts for any event possible. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, organizing a trade show, or interested in alternative ways to develop corporate training, Eventzee can take you event to the next level.

Eventzee can help you create an exciting and unique experience for everyone involved. Whether it’s 200 people or 2, our feature-filled and user-friendly admin tools will get your game going in no time. We’ve made it easy for you to create and control an engaging competition through our website and mobile app. Choose between a traditional photo-based scavenger hunt or a QR code-based hunt, where players use Eventzee to locate QR code stickers hidden in the wild. Customize your game in countless different ways to make the most of your hunt. If you’re interested in hosting your own Eventzee Scavenger Hunt visit www.eventzeeapp.com for more info!

Announcing Candy Heart Virtual Specials

February is the month of romance and Munzee wants to share our love with the world. In connection to American Heart Month we’re proud to announce that new special virtual icons will be for sale and proceeds will be donated to heart research. These special virtual Candy Hearts will be on sale from February 1-7, and the munzees will stay on the map through March 15th at 23:59 MHQ time (GMT -6).

Each pack of 4 virtual heart munzees will cost $5, with all proceeds going to the American Heart Association. The owner of the Candy Heart virtual gets 14 points when they deploy and 14 points will be given to the owner and capper when it is captured. An in-game badge will also be earned for any player who captures or deploys a candy heart. These virtual munzees are available for purchase at the beginning of February with no limit in quantity. Like our past virtual specials, the Candy Heart munzees will disappear after a certain amount of time, but we still encourage our players to construct gardens and base events around these deployed munzees. Create your local event at calendar.munzee.com

According to the US Center for Disease Control, Cardiovascular disease (including heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure) is the number 1 killer of women and men in the United States and a leading cause of disability. This is an important cause that affects every human being and we hope that with the help of our players we can aid in this fight. Throughout the month we’ll also help spread information about heart health and what you can do to avoid heart disease. Munzee is a game that promotes healthy living so love yourself and take care of your body. Learn about the risks of heart disease and, of course stay, active with Munzee.

Trail Munzees are available now!

For those who made it through all 5 episodes of Rob’s adventures in the “Tale of Trails” web series, we’re sure you’ve been on the edge of your seats waiting for more information about the new Trail Munzee. Well the time has finally come- you can buy your 5 pack of Green Trail Munzees in the online store now! For $5 you get one complete Green Trail made up of 5 Trail Munzee credits. Each of the munzees can be deployed within a 5 mile radius of the starting point. Each munzee must be deployed at least 1000 feet from other Trail munzees.

The Trail Munzee is a credit applied to your account and used for conversion of regular “greenie” munzees. A previously deployed greenie can be converted to a trail munzee only if it has had zero captures. You can see your available credits at www.munzee.com/credits.

For more information on the conversion/deployment process check out this video with President Rob Vardeman:

You will receive 5 points per deploy of a trail Munzee, but your trail will not become live until you deploy all 5 munzees.

When capping a trail only the first munzee will be visible on the map, but as you capture each Trail Munzee the next in line will appear for your to follow. If you stumble upon a Trail Munzee that is not next in line you will receive an error message.

As you cap the trail the points you receive will increase as you progress.

Stops one and two are worth 5 points for capture and owner cap on.
Stops three and four are worth 10 points for capture and owner cap on.
Stop five is worth 30 points for capture for completing the trail, and 30 points for owner cap on for creating a good trail.

The goal of the Trail Munzee is to move beyond the light pole, the street sign, and the parking lot. Create a trail that leads other players to something worth seeing. Lead them on a tour of your favorite local places. Take them to places that are off the beaten path. This purchase will allow you to blaze your own trail!

Be a part of the Second Official Munzee Virtual Garden!

In connection with Munzee President Rob Vardeman’s trip to Australia, we’re proud to announce the formation of the Second Official Munzee Virtual Garden in Melbourne, Australia. Just like the garden outside of MHQ, we want our players to help us build this monument Down Under. Munzee is offering a limited amount of pins in the store until supplies last.

CLICK HERE

For $10 you can be a part of this virtual garden, which will be in the shape of Australia on the map. No work is necessary on your part to deploy this virtual pin, it will be assigned coordinates and deployed at the time of purchase. You may edit the name and notes if you choose. LIMITED TO ONE PER PLAYER ACCOUNT.

GemVirtEmerald128 When you purchase the Munzee Emerald Virtual Pin you get:

Limited Edition badge, only available to those who have purchased a pin for any official garden.
Points: 20 to owner on deploy. 20 to owner as residual on each cap. 20 to capper.
A limited edition emerald pin permanently deployed automatically by Munzee on your account.

These pins will be very popular, especially since Rob is attending an event very near the location, so we expect them to sell fast and high traffic will slow the store down. Please note that even if the online store says the item is sold out, keep trying. Until the page has been pulled completely there will still be pins left- just practice patience.

Update: All pins have been sold. Stay tuned for another garden in the future.
