On Your Mark, Get Set, GO! #WorldBicycleDay Specials!

UPDATE: as of 6/17/21, another latecomer, Tandem Twins, will be out on the map! It is a virtual special, so it will behave exactly like the Toy Trike and Bicentennial Bicycle. We have also extended the capture badge line so there are now 6 badges to earn!

UPDATE: as of 6/10/21, World Bicycle Day specials will now bounce around the map until 23:59 on June 30th. This has also been updated below.

In addition, Fancy Flat Lou will also scatter the Starting Line, Midway, and Finish Line munzees, which will reveal her own version of the random race result icons. Caps of Fancy Flat Lou will NOT count towards the capture badges described below, but caps of her Starting Line, Midway, and Finish Line munzees WILL. We’ve also extended the badge line so now there are 5 badges to earn!

Tomorrow is World Bicycle Day, which was established by the United Nations General Assembly due to bicycles’ historical significance and their many benefits as a transportation solution: “simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable.” As our Global Events Director, Louise, can attest, the humble bicycle can be the start of something great, and is definitely worthy of being featured in our app! Starting at 12:00 MHQ on June 2nd, World Bicycle Day specials will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on June 30th.

World Bicycle Day Specials

Riders will be racing in waves, but should reach a total of 1,200 — 300 per bike. They will bounce around on the map every 4 hours or when captured. You can find these speed demons at the following landing pads:

Each bike will be worth 150 points for the Capture and 50 points for the CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out! Champion Choppers and Unicorn Unicycles will be attracted to Physical Magnets, while Toy Trikes and Bicentennial Bicycles will be attracted to Virtual Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Racers Ready

These bouncers also have a unique twist to them! When you capture a World Bicycle Day special, a Starting Line Munzee will scatter nearby, similar to a Laser Trail. This means only you (the capper) will see the Starting Line Munzee on the map. Once you start the race you’ll need to find the Midway Munzee scattered nearby, followed by the the Finish Line Munzee! If you find you’re just out of range, you’ll be happy to know that you can use Rover Treats to have Rover fetch them for you!

Additionally, when you capture a Finish Line Munzee, you’ll receive the random race result icon as well! They behave the same way as the Jack In Zee Box icons in that only the Finish Line Munzee will be visible on the map, but the result will be revealed once you capture it. Above is an example of the 1st Place Champion Chopper result! You’ll be able to earn 1st through 3rd Place for all bikes, so keeping racing to earn all 12 results!

Badges

There will be six badges to earn for these specials. They are all based on the total number of World Bicycle Day specials AND scatters you capture, but just how many captures it takes to earn all 5 badges will be kept a secret! Watch for a badge reveal post in the following days!

We hope you’re ready to rock-and-roll with these specials!

Munzee on!

Can You Reunite the Lost Socks With Their Other Halves?

Did you know that May 24th is National Scavenger Hunt Day? As it’s the perfect holiday to highlight Munzee, we’ve decided to celebrate it the ENTIRE MONTH! We have a few surprises in the works, but as it IS a new month, the first order of business was to create some new themed specials! We took inspiration from a holiday that’s coming up even sooner — National Lost Sock Memorial Day on May 9th! Starting at 12:00 MHQ today, Lost Socks will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on May 31st.

Classic scavenger hunts often require you to find socks of a particular (and usually uncommon) color (i.e. red), so we thought turning them into specials to chase would be a fun twist! A total of 1,520 Lost Sock specials will be unleashed! That breaks down into 95 of each of the 16 socks. They will bounce around every 4 hours or when capped.

You can find these forlorn foot coverings at the following:

Points

  • Capture: 150 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Lost Socks will be attracted to Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Badges

There will be eight badges to earn for these specials. All you need to do is capture each of the Lost Socks shown above! By doing so, you will have completed each pair of socks! You can see the first badge below:

Lozenge Legs- Capture the Left and Right Argyle Sock specials to complete the pair.

It’s up to you to find the socks for the remaining 7 badges! Cap as many of these specials as you can to set yourself up for success!

Munzee on!

Jack In Zee Box Wasn’t the Only Trick Up Our Sleeves!

There are two types of people in this world: the pranksters and the pranked. Which will you be? If it’s the former, you’ll need some supplies, which we are happy to provide! Starting at 10:00 MHQ on April 1st, April Fools specials will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on April 30th.

April Fools Specials

We’ll be passing out the goods in waves, but will end at a total of 700 Bags of Tricks and 700 Sacks of Surprises. They will bounce around on the map every 4 hours or when captured. You can find these curveball carriers bouncing to the following:

Both will be worth 150 points for the Capture and 50 points for the CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out! Bags of Tricks will be attracted to Physical Magnets, while Sacks of Surprises will be attracted to Virtual Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

When you capture a Bag of Tricks or a Sack of Surprises, up to three different Prank Munzees will scatter to nearby Greenies or Virtual Colors, depending on their type. These munzees will stay on the map for 2 hours or when captured, and are worth 50 points for the Capture.

Additionally, when you capture a Prank Munzee up to 3 Elemental Scatters will be triggered! They behave the same way as they would when scattered from Elemental Mysteries.

Badges

There will be six badges to earn for these specials. Four are based on the total number of April Fools specials you capture, but just how many captures it takes to earn all 4 badges will be kept a secret! Of the remaining two badges, the first is based on capturing each of the different Prank Munzees you see here. The second is based on the total number of Prank Munzees captured. You can see the first badge below:

Wet Blanket- Capture one April Fools special of either type.

We hope your heart can handle these startling specials!

Munzee on!

Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Zee Folk and Leprechauns!

As promised at the start of the week, we have some more St. Patrick’s-day themed fun for you to enjoy all the way through the end of the month! Keep an eye out for these little green men — they will be hard to spot, but you may find your pockets a little heavier after an encounter! And no, they’re not aliens — or are they?

Zee Folk Details

Starting at 12:00 MHQ today, Zee Folk specials will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on March 31st.

Only 17 Zee Folk specials will be available to cap! They will bounce around every 4 hours or when capped. Zee Folk will appear on the following landing pads:

  • Greenies
  • Physical Shamrocks
  • Virtual Shamrocks
  • Flat Rob
  • Flat Lou
  • Green-colored Virtuals:
    • Virtual Sea Green
    • Virtual Granny Smith Apple
    • Virtual Green
    • Virtual Forest Green
    • Virtual Asparagus
    • Virtual Olive Green
    • Virtual Yellow Green
    • Virtual Green Yellow
    • Virtual Spring Green

As these specials are so rare, they will be worth 1,000 points for the Capture and 50 points for the CapOn! You definitely don’t want to miss out! They will be attracted to Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

When you capture a Zee Folk special, there is a chance that you will earn 17 Zeds! The popup that appears after you’ve captured a Zee Folk will let you know if you’ve earned any, so make sure to keep an eye out! You will also find them on your credits list.

There are 3 badges you can earn for capturing Zee Folk. You can check out the first below!

Flat Hatter- Capture one Zee Folk Munzee.

Limited Time Scatter Details

For the same period as Zee Folk activity, when you capture a Leprechaun or Leprechaun Variant, up to 3 Colored Zeds may be scattered nearby! These are the same Colored Zeds that scattered out of Rainbow Trails last year!

If you don’t own any Leprechauns, or would like to own more, you can pick them up in the store HERE! Remember that as of the Cyclops and Nymph Variant release last year, you can purchase multiples of the same myth! For a detailed explanation of how that works, refer to the blog post HERE!

Like last year, Colored Zeds will stay on the map for 1 hour or when captured. Each will award 100 points AND potentially a small number of Zeds to your account! We thought this would be a fun way to accumulate some extra currency to go towards Magnets, Secret ZeeOps, or whatever you want!

For more information about Leprechauns and their variants, check out our Help Guide articles HERE and HERE!

#ChooseToChallenge with Fancy Flat Lou!

We couldn’t let this month pass by without showing some love to Munzee’s leading lady, Flat Lou! Real-life Lou and the other Internationelles have some exciting news coming up, so make sure to read all the way to the end of the blog!

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Monday, March 8th at 12:00 MHQ through Wednesday, March 31st at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture a Fancy Flat Lou, up to 3 Water Bottles may be scattered nearby!

The Water Bottles will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Fancy Flat Lou owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These bottle scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Water Bottles are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points

For more information about Fancy Flat Lou, check out our Help Guide article!

Badges

There are 2 badges available for this special period. As long as you capture a Fancy Flat Lou and a Water Bottle scatter, you’ll receive both badges!

Store Sale!

We’ve added Fancy Flat Lou back to the online store!

The only store limit will be up to one per variant per player account, meaning you can buy all three, but not more than one of each.

In other words, each player is allowed to purchase one of each Fancy Flat Lou variant per account. The sale will remain through the entire month of March!

Lou News!

Check out the Union Cycliste Internationale’s social media — you will see Lou featured in an International Women’s Day campaign!

The theme for International Women’s Day for 2021 is Choose to Challenge. The InternationElles (which Lou is the leader of) are sharing the challenges they’ve chosen. If you’re curious to find out more about these amazing ladies, keep an eye on their social media!

Munzee on!

When you capture a Women’s History special, up to three items will scatter nearby, like Feathers. These munzees will stay on the map for 2 hours or when captured, and are worth 50 points for the Capture.

Valentines Card Collectors Club Tiers 2 & 3 Day 10: Mythical Bandaidz

Tiers 2 & 3 Valentines Card Collectors Club members have their own exclusive hunt! Much like the Chocolate Covered Cherry Challenge, upon capturing your Valentines Mailbox, a pack of Mythical Bandaidz will scatter nearby! To reiterate, the mailbox must be capped on February 10th 00:01-23:59 MHQ time to deploy the Mythical Bandaidz. They’ll stay on the map for 36 hours after scattering, so that should give you ample time to collect them all! The capture radius is 500 feet for these!

A total of 14 Mythical Bandaidz specials will be unleashed! These will only be visible to the Valentines Mailbox owner and will scatter like Feathers. This means there are no CapOn points but they are worth 100 points for capture!

Though there will only be one icon shown on the map, there is guaranteed to be 1 special Rainbow Mythical Bandaidz with a different icon that will not be visible until captured, similar to how the Greeting Cards work. The Rainbow Mythical Bandaidz is worth 250 points for capture.

To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Badge

There will be 1 badge for finding the Rainbow Mythical Bandaidz. Since there’s only the 1 badge in this line, we want to keep it a secret for now. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too tough for you to get!

We hope you enjoy unwrapping Day 10 of the Valentines Card Collectors Club! Make sure to cap your Valentines Mailbox each day so you don’t miss out!

Otherwise, if you still haven’t joined the club yet and would like to do so now, click HERE! If you purchase a Tier 2 or Tier 3 membership TODAY you can still get Mythical Bandaidz specials long as you deploy and cap your Valentines Mailbox before 23:59 MHQ time on February 10th.

Lastly, if you want to check out what today’s Greeting Card looks like, or review past day’s goodies, you can check out the blog post HERE. Please note that that blog post may not immediately have the latest info as we cannot pre-schedule updates, but we’ll do so as soon as we can!

Valentines Card Collectors Club Tier 3 Day 4: Chocolate Covered Cherry Challenge

Tier 3 Valentines Card Collectors Club members have their own exclusive hunt! Much like the HCCC’s Christmas Pickle Hunt, upon capturing your Valentines Mailbox, a boxful of Assorted Chocolates will scatter nearby! To reiterate, the mailbox must be capped on February 4th 00:01-23:59 MHQ time to deploy the Assorted Chocolates. They’ll stay on the map for 36 hours after scattering, so that should give you ample time to collect them all! The capture radius is 500 feet for these!

A total of 14 Assorted Chocolate specials will be unleashed! These will only be visible to the Valentines Mailbox owner and will scatter like Feathers. This means there are no CapOn points but they are worth 100 points for capture!

Though there will only be one icon shown on the map, there is guaranteed to be 1 special Chocolate Covered Cherry with a different icon that will not be visible until captured, similar to how the Greeting Cards work. The Chocolate Covered Cherry is worth 250 points for capture.

To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Badge

There will be 1 badge for finding the Chocolate Covered Cherry. Since there’s only the 1 badge in this line, we want to keep it a secret for now. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too tough for you to get!

We’ve Got the Missing Pieces — Can You Complete the Picture?

It’s been a while since we had non-Card Collectors Club-related specials — the last ones were the WallaEggZ in November! If you enjoyed the art style of the WallaEggZ and the treats inside, you’ll love these new specials, which also feature art from our sister app WallaBee!

In celebration of National Puzzle Day starting at 12:00 MHQ today, Buzzle Boxes will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on February 21st.

A total of 1,000 Buzzle Box specials will be unleashed! They will bounce around every 4 hours or when capped. You can find these chipboard classics bouncing to the following:

They will be worth 150 points for the Capture and 50 points for the CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out! They will be attracted to Physical Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

When you capture a Buzzle Box, up to three randomly selected Buzzle Pieces will scatter nearby, like Feathers. These munzees will stay on the map for 2 hours or when captured, and are worth 50 points for the Capture.

Badges

By capping all four pieces of a Buzzle you’ll earn the badge for that puzzle. Additionally, there is another badge for completing all three Buzzles. So all you need to do is capture at least one of each Buzzle Piece, and you’ll have met the requirements for all four badges! As you can probably guess what 3 of the badges look like, we’ll keep the final one a secret for now!

We hope these Buzzles aren’t too tough to complete!

Puzzling Eventzee!

We also have a small Eventzee hunt for you to check out! This one was made by us, so if the Groundhog Day Hunt wasn’t your style, you might want to check this one out. It is open to the public with join code PUZZLEDAY2021. This is not attached to Munzee in any way, so there are no points or badges in the Munzee game. It’s just for fun and to give you something to do while you wait for February clan wars to start! 😉

This mini event features Rebus Puzzles, so you won’t be snapping any photos this time around, but instead solving some brain teasers! Once you think you’ve figured out the answer for a Text Challenge, type it in and submit! This event makes use of our text matching feature, so if you enter the correct phrase, it will be approved immediately and you’ll get points! Otherwise it will tell you to please try again.

Eventzee will be releasing a larger version of this hunt as a Party Pack soon — if you need a quick activity for an upcoming event, this or any of the other Party Packs may very well fit the bill!

Munzee on!

Fancy Flat Friends are Going Ghost!

After 3 Flat Day the 13ths, haven’t you ever wondered what happened to the Flat Friends you weren’t able to save? That’s right — they become Phantom Flats. As Fancy Flat Lou was just released a few months ago, we hope it’ll be a while before we see her Phantom Flat counterpart — but you never know…

Phantom Flats

Like the RetireMyths and Zombie Pouch Creatures before them, these game pieces will join the map once any Fancy Flat owned by an Inactive or Retired account has been archived. These munzees will roam the map at certain times, and are worth 500 points upon first capture, with the point value decreasing by 1 point per each subsequent capture of the unique Phantom Flat.

NEW RetireMyth

Joining her sisters, the physical and virtual Nymph RetireMyth is now eligible to appear.

As a reminder, RetireMyths are not attracted to magnets, and they land on the same type of Munzee as their regular counterpart. RetireMyths will be worth 500 points upon first cap and 1 point less for each cap that follows.

NEW Zombie Pouch Creatures

Last but certainly not least, Elekter, Magnetus, Pimedus, and Puffle now have Zombie Pouch Creature variants!

As a reminder, Zombie Pouch Creatures are not attracted to magnets, and they land on the same type of Munzee as their regular counterpart. Zombie Pouch Creatures will be worth 500 points upon first cap and 1 point less for each cap that follows. Please note that Zombie Pouch Creatures will NOT level up into their other forms.

Are you ready to find some haunted munzees? Remember that these are rare finds only available at select times! You can use our handy What’s New? section to help keep track!

Munzee on!
