RetireMyths and More!

As we told you last week with the announcement of the Fairy Myths, the time has come for some of the older Mythological Munzees to rest. Starting now any myth owned by Inactive/Retired players will be archived until the player becomes active again. Unfortunately nearly 200 Myths of all different types have fled the map. Honestly we thought it would be more though, so we’re excited that Myths continue to play such an active role in the game!

Don’t forget, although these Myths are gone they are not forgotten! The Myths owned by inactive accounts have been born again as RetireMyths! These creatures don’t come out to play often though, so you will only see them on the map from time to time. They are currently on the map and available to capture, but they will flee again without notice.

With the map a little less loaded with Myths now, we figured it was as good a time as any to offer new players the opportunity to purchase some Mythological Munzees! Very Limited amounts of some Mythological Munzees and Pouch Creatures have been placed in the Freeze Tag Online Store for sale.

See the Myth collection HERE: https://bit.ly/2xC3yjCIf you want to take your new Myth to the next level, try an upgrade! Myth Upgrades allow you to rename your Mythological Munzee as well as the ability to “nudge” them to a new location after three hours. Myth Upgrades are $5 and can be purchased as a credit and then applied to any Myth except the Mermaid or the Fairy, which already come with upgraded features.

We also have a special deal! If you purchase a Myth Upgrade and use the code BattleDancingUnicorns you’ll earn a FREE Blast Capture. You’ll need to make sure the Blast is in your cart as well to receive the discount. Just a heads up, we’re working on a cool new feature* for some Upgraded Myths. No official details yet, but it will be coming soon so take advantage of this deal today! The code will be valid until 23:59 MHQ on Sunday.

You can buy Myth Upgrades HERE: https://bit.ly/2QbtYQ5

We also have a new Myth Pack on sale, which include a variety of different munzees that Myths, AlternaMyths, RetireMyths and Pouch Creatures land on. The Myth Pack is $16 ($24 value) in the online store and includes:

2 Shamrock Munzees
2 Regular Mystery Munzees
2 Fire Mystery Munzees
2 Earth Mystery Munzees
2 Water Mystery Munzees
2 Ice Mystery Munzees

You can buy Myth Packs HERE: https://store.freezetag.com/products/myth-pack

As always we appreciate all of you! Munzee On!

*Rob had a dream about Battle Dancing Unicorns, so take from that what you will.

Seasonal Munzee Point Update & International Peace Day Personals!

We’re excited to announce a point increase on Seasonal Munzees, which will go into effect at 00:01 MHQ on September 22!

The new point structure is as follows:

Seasonal Munzee Points:

Deploy- 50 points
Capture- 40 points
CapOn- 20 points

For a refresher Seasonal Munzees are similar to the Evolution Munzees in that they change after a period of time. Seasonal Munzees will change to the corresponding season on set dates:

October 1st – Fall (Northern Hemisphere)/Spring (Southern Hemisphere)
January 1st – Winter (Northern Hemisphere)/Summer (Southern Hemisphere)
April 1st – Spring (Northern Hemisphere)/Fall (Southern Hemisphere)
July 1st – Summer (Northern Hemisphere)/Winter (Southern Hemisphere)

This cycle will be continuous, but you can only capture each stage of the munzee once (i.e. if you capture the Fall stage, you cannot capture the Fall stage a year later).

Previously Seasonal Munzees have only been available in MunzPaks, which means there haven’t been a large quantity of these deployed around the world. We want to change that! We have some cool future plans for Seasonal Munzees, but we need more of them deployed before we can reveal those ideas. Think you can help us grow the Seasonal map?

For the first time ever we’ve now added Seasonal Packs for sale in the Freeze Tag Online Store. For a limited time you’ll get 10 pre-coded Seasonal Munzee stickers for the discounted price of $10.

You can get Seasonal Munzees here:
https://store.freezetag.com/products/seasonal-munzees

In other news, today is International Peace Day and to celebrate we have a new Personal Munzee Tag for sale in the online store. In our location-based gaming world, what’s more peaceful than Coexisting?

You can get Peace Day personal tags here:
https://store.freezetag.com/products/personal-munzee

Be on the lookout for more point increases as we near the launch of Munzee 4.0. Thanks for your continued support and Munzee on!

Fairy Mythological Munzee and RetireMyth News!

ARGHHHH! Thanks to the seafaring skills of our worldwide players, the first Pirate Day community challenge was completed! As we promised, you all have unlocked the newest Mythological Munzee: The Fairy!

Fleeting Fairies:

Starting tomorrow September 20th at 10:00 MHQ time, a limited number of Fairy Mythological Munzees will be available in the Munzee Online Store for $25.00 each. Like the other Mythologicals, each player is limited to one (1) Fairy Munzee per account, and the sale is open to anyone regardless of other Mythological ownership.

Much like the Mermaid, Fairies already have the Myth Upgrade built in. As the owner of a Fairy Munzee you’ll have the ability to “nudge” the creature to a new munzee up to three times a day (MHQ 24 hour day) but only after it has been on it’s host Munzee for 3 hours. The ability to nudge is only available for the owner via the webpage for the Fairy, not available in app.

You’ll also be able to rename your Fairy to whatever you want! The name will still retain the unique number, but feel free to get creative and customize these curious creatures. Please keep in mind our player code of conduct and family friendly environment! ?

These curious creatures are attracted to Greenies and regular Mystery Munzees, but they also fly to Air Mystery Munzees as well. The Fairy will bounce to these types every 12 hours or when capped.

Fairies are attracted to Magnets, which you can attach to greenies to increase your odds of finding myths and specials.

Details:

Name: The Fairy

Description: The Fairy Munzee bounces on Greenies, regular Mystery Munzees, and Air Mystery Munzees every 12 hours or when capped. Each is numbered and owned by a Munzee player. Only 1 Fairy Munzee is allowed per account. You will also earn the Fairy badge for owning a Fairy Munzee.

Points:

Deploy: 250
Capture: 200
CapOn: 100

There is not currently a traditional line of badges for capturing unique Fairy Munzees yet, but these will count toward the Myth Hunter badge line. Stay tuned for a line of badges similar to the other Myth Ranker badges soon. In the meantime, you never know what you might earn for capturing Fairies…

Soaring Sales:

In celebration of our new flying friend we’ve got some sales in store as well.

Check out the collection HERE: https://store.freezetag.com/collections/fairy

We have all new Mystery Munzee stickers in stock for $7.50 for a block of five. Use the code FAIRYMYSTERIES to earn a free Air Mystery when you purchase a Mystery Munzee block. Please note that you will need to add the Air Mystery to your cart for the code to work and that this WILL count toward your allotted Air Mystery total for the month. The code will expire at 23:59 MHQ on 9/23.
We also have two new generic Urban Camo designs (Month/Year & Final Inspection) that come in blocks of three for $0.99.
As always there are also some high flying Fairy decal stickers to add to your collection for $0.75.

Be sure to load up on these so a Fairy can fly somewhere near you!

**RMP*:**

Alongside the release of the Fairy Munzee, we also have some news regarding some of our older Mythological Munzees.

Although we pride ourselves on our worldwide community of players, sometimes the weight of the game can be too much to handle. So as players become inactive for a variety of reasons, poor, innocent Mythological Munzees are abandoned to roam the world alone. It has fallen on us to give these Myths a new place to belong. Beginning Wednesday September 26th at 00:01 any myth owned by Inactive/Retired players will be archived until the player becomes active again.

……

Keep scrolling

……

There’s a twist though! The abandoned Myths have a strong will and at various points in time will come back to the world of the living as RetireMyths.

Take a deep breath

……

Keep scrolling

……

A new RetireMyth will be deployed on the account of Inactive/Retired players and at certain times they will haunt the map. These new creatures will award a new icon, but will not be worth any Deploy or CapOn points. When first released each will be worth 500 capture points, but that number will decrease by one point for each new capture.

RetireMyths will not be attracted to Munzee Magnets, but they will land on the same types as its regular Myth counterpart. There will be a new badge line for capturing RetireMyths coming soon as well as more information regarding when they will be live on the map.

With all manners of Myths coming and going at any given moment, be sure to keep your eyes peeled! Good luck and Munzee on!

Introducing the NEW Munzee Logo!

We are proud to announce that alongside the release of Munzee 4.0 beta, we are officially launching an all new Munzee logo.

For seven years the Munzee logo has continued to evolve, but much like the game itself the focus has always been on the Greenie icon. Greenies are the backbone of the Munzee gameplay experience. These pins bridge the gap between our real world gaming arena and the technology that makes it happen. The Munzee logo holds a place in the hearts of many of our players, and certainly of our team. We all wear it like a badge of honor on stickers, patches, and shirts across the world. This new version is simply an evolution of the concept that has brought us all together.

The new logo features a new font and perhaps most notably an updated version of the pin icon. We have replaced the traditional rounded GPS pin with a square design, which is modeled after our QR code game pieces. The new icon represents a merger of the QR code and GPS pin. As two individual icons these represent key functions of Munzee’s gameplay; together these represent the game itself.

The redesign of the Munzee pin icon also represents a practical gameplay function. In the newest version of the app all in-game munzee designs have been changed to reflect the difference between physical and virtual munzees. Moving forward, all physical munzees will be represented by square icons to signify that they are QR code stickers players can locate in the real world. All virtual munzees will retain the rounded pin shape and feature a prominent “V” marking.

Many of you may be asking, why change what works? Why mess with a symbol the community has gathered behind for years? We’re happy you asked. The decision to redesign the logo, in part, was based around the merger of Munzee Inc. and Freeze Tag Games last October. The previous version doubled as a logo for both the game of Munzee and the company that developed it.

When a brand tries to identify as both a company and a game, it becomes difficult to balance the professionalism of the business with the creativity of the gameplay experience. After the merger we were very aware of the need to focus on the Munzee brand and define what that means. Our hope is that this new logo embodies the adventure, discovery and whimsical experience of playing Munzee.

We want you to show your pride in Munzee’s past, present and future so new Apparel and Personal Tags are NOW AVAILABLE in the Freeze Tag Online Store! The new collection includes shirts, hats and more featuring the new logo, but new designs will also be released at launch of the 4.0 app as well.

You can find the new collection HERE: https://bit.ly/2COWs0i

Our purpose in announcing the new logo now is so we can have everything prepared by the time the new app launches. You’ll see the new logo begin to rollout to the website over time as we get closer to the public release of the app. All of the new logo and pin shapes will not be available on version 3, so stay tuned for more info regarding 4.0’s release soon! Selected Beta testers will be notified shortly regarding how to begin the download process, so bear with us as we begin that rollout.

We’re very excited for what is just the beginning of a slew of updates that will enhance your gameplay experience unlike ever before! Rob also mentioned something about a Greenie point update at the end of his announcement video… more news soon? Munzee on!

Scatter Munzees Point Update!

We’re excited to announce a point increase on Scatter Munzees, which will go into effect at 00:01 MHQ on September 13!

Deploy- 45 points
Capture- 45 points
CapOn- 40 points

Need to stock up on Scatters? Now’s the time! Scatter Munzee credits are now on sale for $1 each in the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can also purchase discounted Generic Munzees as well in case you have some credits you need to deploy! 50 packs of Generic Munzees are now on sale for $4.50.

$1 Scatter Munzee Credits (originally $2) HERE: https://bit.ly/2N6uimi

$4.50 50 ct Generic Munzees (originally $6) HERE: https://bit.ly/2OgxQ1T

Alongside the point update players will be able to capture Scattered Munzees on their own munzees as well! The radius of scatter has also been reduced to 2500 feet.

Additional scattered munzee types will also receive an upgrade on capture points at 00:01 MHQ on September 13th. Those are as follows:

Feather:
Capture- 20 points

Golden Feather:
Capture- 50 points

ZeeOps Dossier:
Capture: 50 points or 25 points with a mini ZeeOps mission.

Clan Wars Boulder:
Capture- 40 points

Thank you all for your support! We hope these point updates give you even more reason to chase after scatters. You never know where they may take you. Munzee on!

Announcing Retired Account Physical Munzee Archival

In our continued effort to expand opportunities to new players, and keep the map full of Munzees that can be captured, we will be taking the next steps in inactive account archival. Starting at 00:01 September 17, 2018 we will begin archiving some physical munzees for all accounts with no activity in the past 720 days. These accounts will now be considered “Retired” unless there is some sort of activity between now and the 17th.

The physical munzees that will be archived are those created by individual players, not official MHQ stickers with generic codes, with no activity in the past 180 days. If you would like to keep munzees active in your area please cap them before this time. The purpose of this initiative is to open up spots for new players to deploy and also to uphold maintenance on game pieces that may be missing or have been weathered down. This ideally should help with bouncing specials, Myths and Nomads as well.

We will also make Recycles active Thursday September 13 at 10:00 MHQ through Saturday September 15 at 10:00 MHQ. This will better help you see old munzees in risk of being archived. We do not want to keep Recycles active the entire weekend though, so you can still get the munzees in Jewel form if you would like for September Clan Wars requirements.

Thank you all for your support! We look forward to new and current players alike being able to take advantage of this change. Munzee on!

Motel and Hotel Updates!

We’re excited to announce that a point update for Motel and Hotel Munzees will go into effect at 00:01 MHQ on Thursday September 6, 2018. The point system for all Captures, Deploys and CapOns been increased as well as a decrease on the radius required between Motel/Hotel deploys.

In addition all Motel and Hotel Rooms currently occupied by “inactive” players (have had no account activity in 365 or more days) will be archived. We expect this will effect many Munzees and open new rooms to be owned by current active players! Please note that currently there is no increase in the point systems for Virtual Resorts or Timeshare Munzees.

In order to help you take advantage of these new points and radius reductions we’ve put together a quick sale. Use discount code GetRooms at checkout in order to receive 25% off Physical Hotel, Physical Motel, or 50 count Micro Generic stickers. The micro generic stickers are great for those of you with motel and hotel credits to use! This discount code is only good through Friday at 23:59 MHQ time. This is a great opportunity for this month’s Clan Wars requirements, so make the most of this update AND sale!

Motel Points*

Motel Deploy: 50 points
Room Deploy: 25 points
Capture: 10 points + 10 points for each room filled
Motel CapOn: 10 points + 10 for each room filled
Room CapOn: 5
Deploy Radius: reduced to 750 feet from other Motels

Hotel Points*

Hotel Deploy: 75 points
Room Deploy: 50 points
Capture: 20 points + 8 for each room filled
Hotel CapOn: 20 points + 8 for each room filled
Room CapOn: 5 points per room
Deploy Radius: reduced to 2,000 feet from other Hotels

*To be transparent and perfectly honest, the point updates are our interpretation based on translating code language to math and/or English. The Destination Munzee point system is very intricate and a bit tough to explain from the blog writer’s perspective. Please let us know if there are areas that need to be explained more thoroughly. We are 100% certain you will get MORE points after this update though! Feel free to help us fill this in correctly. Thank you for your understanding!
