🕷️🤺 October 2024 GOTM Winners 🦋🦇

In August, we announced exciting updates to the Garden of the Month (GOTM) program, including the use of the CuppaZee Gardens Tool to select future winners! Remember, all completed gardens are now eligible for nomination via the CuppaZee tool, and each month we’ll also invite special guest judges to help with the selection process.

For October, the end of the month crept up on us so we decided to choose the gardens ourselves. As this month’s theme is  “Creepy Crawlers,” two gardens in particular caught our eye, and they both happen to be located in next year’s Geowoodstock location — Morgantown, WV! If you’re interested in attending a Munzee Event hosted by local players during that time, head over to this event on the Munzee Calendar and mark that you’re attending!

A big Munzee congratulations to Morgantown Spider Fighter, designed by DragonsWest, and Morgantown Mothman, designed by Buckeyecacher111, for being named the October GOTM winners! As always, special badges await the organizers and those who deployed in these fantastic creations. Thank you for helping our map continue to flourish with a touch of the terrifying!


Morgantown Spider Fighter by DragonsWest in Morgantown, WV

“When the spiders are that big, you need to call in a professional!”


Morgantown Mothman by Buckeyecacher111 in Morgantown, WV

“Spot this mythical Morgantown creature at next year’s Geowoodstock!”


Special Badges for all players who deployed within the winning GOTM:

Glow Worm Gardens Reminder

Don’t forget about the 2 special badges you can earn for deploying in Glow Worm Gardens! Deploy 10 or more Virtual Colors in any Official Glow Worm Garden and you’ll meet the requirements for both! Head to the original blog post for more information, or head to the Freeze Tag Store to stock up on Virtual Colors with our Glow Worm Virtual Garden Pak! Don’t wait too long though — as we all know, the early bird gets the worm, and the badges will be awarded in early November.

November 2024 GOTM Theme

Here at MHQ, the colder weather means we can make use of the oven without making the whole house feel like a sauna! As such, the theme for November 2024 GOTM will be Sweet Treats! If you have a Sweet Treats-themed garden you’ve already created OR if you’re feeling ambitious and want to create a new themed Garden be sure to complete it by November!

If you’d like to nominate a Virtual Garden for GOTM or need help deploying in a Garden, you can check out the Munzee Help Guide to learn more! Stock up on Virtuals from the Freeze Tag Online Store to bring your garden visions to life!

🧙⚗️ Brew NEW Potion Munzees to Boost Your Gameplay! ✨

We’re excited to introduce a NEW game piece that is a unique combination of Temporary Virtual and Booster — enter the Potion Munzees! Our first Potion Munzees are bubbling with enchantment, perfect for boosting your captures and sharing the fun with friends or at events. Whether you’re collecting extra points or scattering surprises, these mystical potions will have you brewing up some serious magic on the map. With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to stir up some tricks and treats!

Brew Up Big Gains with Potion Munzees

There are currently 3 Potions available:

When you deploy a Potion, its effect will automatically be activated for you, and the same goes for other players when they capture it as well! Here is what each Potion does:

  • Potion of Plenty: the next Munzee you capture or deploy will earn x3 points!
    • Helpful Hint: Potion of Plenty = P for Points
  • Distance Draught: the next Virtual Munzee you capture will have x3 the capture radius!
    • Helpful Hint: Distance Draught = D for Distance
  • Scatterburst Serum: The next Munzee you capture will scatter 3 random scatters nearby!
    • Helpful Hint: Scatterburst Serum = S for Scatters

Potions will remain on the map until they have been captured 3 times. After that, the magic will be all used up! Each player who captures the potion will enjoy the same effect as the brewer.

The point structure for Potions is as follows:

  • Deploy: 50 points
  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Stock Up Online or In-App

For a limited time, grab a pint of our magical brews with the Potions Pack, which can be purchased from our online store HERE! This pack includes the following, perfect for deploying near friends or at events!

  • 13 Potion of Plenty
  • 13 Distance Draught
  • 13 Scatterburst Serum

Plus order up some potions on tap individually from the in-app store for a promotional launch price of 33 Zeds each. Stock up while the discount lasts!

Magic System

As Potions are Temporary Virtuals, many of the same rules apply to them. For example:

  • Potions are visible on the Temporary Layer of the map
  • Deployers CANNOT capture their own Potions — this is why the effect is automatically applied on deploy
  • Players CANNOT capture the same Potions more than once
  • Potions will be archived when a condition is met — as mentioned above, the condition is 3 captures

However, there are also some rules unique to Potions:

  • They are NOT blastable
  • Players can only have 1 Potion active at a time — if they attempt to deploy or capture another Potion Munzee with one already active, the app will display an error message
    • However, Potions DO stack with Boosters AND Double Point Weekends if they are active, as well as Rover Treats
  • Potions DO NOT expire, and will remain active until applied to an appropriate deploy or capture
  • Potions DO apply to deploys done via the Munzee Website (all methods — via the Map page, direct editing of the munzee, Redeem Store, etc.) and via the Freeze Tag Store (i.e. Emeralds, purchased bouncers)
  • Potions DO NOT apply to auto-deploys (i.e. Evo Bouncers, scatters) as the owner has no control of when those are deployed
  • Potions DO NOT apply to Socials, Universals and Personals
  • When you use a Potion of Plenty and capture a type with multiple captures (for example Skyland or Timeshare) then it will only triple the first capture – meaning only the Skyland itself, not any of the bouncers.

Badges

There are currently 2 badge lines for Potions – 1 for deploying each type, and 1 for capturing each type. You can see what the badges for the Potion of Plenty look like below:

We hope you enjoy making the map a little more enchanting!

Munzee on!

📲 NEW Update! Visit The Redeem Store In The App! 🧰✨

We’re excited to announce a NEW App Update! Now you can access the Redeem Store via the app, which should be much easier to navigate on mobile devices than our webpage. Head to the Camp Hub and tap the Enchanted Toolbox to get craftin’ with your credits!

Although the Redeem Store itself has been around for a while, this app update continues our quest of making the game more accessible for new and veteran players alike! As a refresher in this section you can forge different Munzee types using various shards, stamps, cogs, and other credits that you’ve earned over time. Not only can you create new munzee types like Mechz, but you can also redeem your undeployed munzees for new credits like Jewel Shards to make superior game pieces.

Check out your inventory, and you might also see some discounted products for you to redeem as well! Be sure to visit each tab in order to take advantage of the Redeem Store deals while you can. To access this latest feature, you’ll need to make sure you’re on the latest version of Munzee from the App Stores (4.1.221 on iOS, 4.1.222 on Android), then restart the app to pull down the latest over-the-air update version #1147.

Munzee on!

Secret ZeeOps – Spellbound & Down (October 2024)

Are you willing to risk life and limb at potentially haunted locations?! An ALL NEW Secret ZeeOps is now available in the ZeeOps Hub for the usual cost of 1,500 Zeds until 23:59 MHQ on November 30th. Remember, if you’ve purchased a Secret ZeeOp, you can complete it and collect rewards even after it is no longer available for purchase.

Agents, disturbing reports of supernatural activity are on the rise. Whether or not you believe in such things, you must be thorough in your investigation and neutralize any threats you may discover. Completing a series of missions will unlock new levels in this operation. There are three levels, each with five missions. If you conquer every mission in Operation: Spellbound & Down, you’ll earn a celebratory badge, the NEW V01D Guardian MECH (info below), and more exciting rewards listed in the app!

 

NEW Mech Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, V01D Guardian is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 15 times.

V01D Guardian
Points
  • Deploy: 350
  • Capture: 230-330
  • CapOn: 100-200
  • Clogged (Crushed): 500
Landing Pads

This plump portal can be spotted on the landing pads listed above every 6 hours or when captured.

V01D Guardian will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture V01D Guardian on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same V01D Guardian visits you. V01D Guardian is non-blastable. It will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access V01D Guardian by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When V01D Guardian is captured, it will scatter up to 3 V01D Busters on the Mech owner’s account.

V01D Buster
Points
  • Capture: 30-50
  • CapOn: 5-30

These scatters will be visible to any player and expire after 120 minutes. They have a capture radius of 300 feet. Since they are passive deploys, these scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity.

Badges

As with other Munzee Mechz, the badge for deploying V01D Guardian depicts the Blueprints, and is shown below:

For those who capture V01D Guardian, a badge awaits. As there’s just one badge in this category, we’ll keep it secret, for now.

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

🐉 NEW Limited-Time Elder Dragon Drop! 🎃

Are you ready to take your dragon mastery to the next level? We’re thrilled to introduce our latest addition to the Dragon Trainer Specials: NEW Drac-O’-Lantern! This new type of Elder Dragon will function the same way as the other Elder Dragons, but instead of hatching from an egg, when purchased from the Freeze Tag Store, this will be deployed as a Temporary Player Owned Bouncer (tPOB) on your account. You can purchase the Drac-O’-Lantern as part of our new Drac-O’-Lantern Pack HERE. The pack will only be available until Friday, November 1st, at 12:00 MHQ — after that, it will likely be another year before the Drac-O’-Lantern is ripe to return.

Please note that once the Elder Dragon has been captured 20 times it will be archived and a new Dragon Egg will be deployed in its place. Then the cycle will continue as with other Dragon Trainer types.

Watch as your new Elder Dragon follows the cycle of rebirth into a Dragon Egg, hatching, evolving into Baby Dragons and, eventually, back into an Elder.

  • When capped 20 times the Drac-O’-Lantern will be reborn as a Striped Dragon Egg!
  • Once the Dragon Egg has been capped 10 times it will evolve into a new Twilight Baby Dragon!

Check out the NEW Dragon Trainer Special below!

Drac-O’-Lantern Elder Dragon
Points
  • Deploy: 100
  • Capture: 200
  • CapOn: 75
Landing Pads

The Drac-O’-Lantern Pack will include the following items:

  • Drac-O’-Lantern Pack – $13
    • 1 Drac-O’-Lantern tPOB deployed on your account
      • Learn about the NEW Elder Dragon on the Help Guide HERE!
      • NOTE – This will only deploy the Elder Dragon on your account. The standard cycle will still continue and allow others to train and tame the succeeding baby and elder dragons.
    • 1 Dragon’s Keep Temporary Destination
    • 1 Pumpkin Evolution Munzee
    • 1 Flat Cats

Grab your Drac-O’-Lantern Pack to carve a new dragon waiting to be unleashed!

Munzee on!
