Changes to the Online Map

For logged out and non-premium users, the Munzee Online Map now looks a little different. Starting today, all users will have the same access when using the online map, including Sandbox, Route, Plan for Group, and Filters.

These changes have been made to increase accessibility for everyone while planning their Munzee adventures. This DOES NOT impact any filters or abilities within the app. To use advanced filters in-app, you still must be a Premium Member.

We also added a gift to Premium Members’ accounts. All current Premium Members have had two (2) MVMs added to their Undeployed list as a thank you for being loyal players and community members.

We hope you enjoy this change. Thank you all for your support.

Munzee on!

Munzee Version 3.2.3 Update

We are constantly looking for and implementing new improvements and additions for the Munzee app. Our next release brings back a highly requested feature along with more additions to improve your experience while playing Munzee. These changes are:

Pinch-to-Zoom Scanner: The updated scanner now allows for pinch-to-zoom! Trying to scan a munzee that’s just a bit too high? Can’t get quite close enough to a munzee off the beaten path? Now, you can zoom in!
Coordinate Navigation: Driving to find a munzee or special icon? The navigation pop-up on the Munzee details view now shows the munzee’s coordinates for those using an external GPS.
Clan Stats: The clan details page now includes a “Stats” tab to show more detailed information.
Updated Translations
Minor Fixes and Improvements

This update will be released this week, so watch for App and Play Store updates! We will also be pushing out an announcement via the app when the new update is available. We hope you enjoy the new version!

Munzee on!

From the Desk of Louise: Birthday Events Wrap Up

What a fab month July was, thank you to our wonderful players for helping us celebrate our 5th birthday! We’ve loved the photos and stories from the events around the world and have even received some birthday cards and presents from you, thank you very much!

There were 89 birthday events worldwide and there were 2782 caps of our lovely birthday event special… You may have seen him, Robicorn was parading around at every birthday event!

The Birthday Present add on was popular too, it was at most events and 3412 Emeralds were given away in our 10 new gardens around the world. Those gardens are almost full but there are still some Emeralds available to purchase if you haven’t bought one already (you can purchase one per day). Also, keep your suggestions for future gardens coming in here.

To keep you excited about events we have overhauled the calendar and have the new Event Trail addition. They are good to go and will start featuring at events from this weekend. See yesterday’s blog for info which now includes pricing information.

Once again thank you so much for celebrating with us, we are so proud of our wonderful worldwide community! Munzee On!

Update on the Birthday Present Special

Sadly, this is the last weekend of Birthday Month. While we hate to watch the celebration come to an end, we know there are bigger and better things to come. In full Munzee spirit, though, we’ve decided to go all out this weekend. If you weren’t aware, we started a Double Point Weekend this morning at 00:01 MHQ time. Of course, that’s not all.

For the remainder of Birthday Month, we’ve also updated the Birthday Specials. We’ve made two big changes to them:

Scatter Radius: While a 5 mile scatter radius was representative of our 5th birthday, it isn’t necessarily ideal for all players. Now, instead of scattering within 5 miles, the Birthday Icons will scatter within 1 mile.
Credit Percentage: There are quite a few items you can earn from the Birthday Icons. We’ve changed up the algorithm to increase the chances of getting Diamond and Ruby credits when you capture the Birthday Icon.

So get out there and help us end Birthday Month with a bang! Have fun, and Munzee on!

A Myriad of Information to End the Week

Things are always busy here at MHQ, and that means a lot of new ideas in the works for our wonderful community. As we wrap up the last full week in June, there some things, old and new, that we wanted you to be aware of.

Munzee Version 3.2.2

After some changes made by Google, we released Munzee 3.2.2 yesterday for Android and this morning for iOS. It corrects errors with the map when viewing from anywhere in the app other than the main screen (e.g., deploy screen and alert configuration screen). If you haven’t updated to this version, please do.

Birthday Month

July has always been a big celebration for our Birthday Month. Along with MHQ Birthday Bash and birthday events, be on the lookout for an announcement of plans throughout the month. We’re turning five, and it’s going to be a fun celebration.

Urban Camo and Skinned Munzees

As an American based company, we try our best to be inclusive of our whole community of players because we appreciate all of our players worldwide. Not all symbols and icons are recognizable in every country, and we realize that. If you have an idea for a new or modified urban camo or skinned munzee, we want to hear about it! While we do have new ideas in the works, we know we can’t think of everything. You can email iloveyou@munzee.com with your ideas.

POTW

Part of our appreciation of our players is shown through Player of the Week. We’ve had some amazing stories from players, and we always want to hear more. If you know of someone who you think deserves to be POTW, email us their username at iloveyou@munzee.com so we can reach out to them.

If you have any problems or need help, please feel free to email support@munzee.com.

We really can’t explain enough how important to us you, our players, are. Everything we do in this game is to make the whole experience better for you. So thank you for growing the map and spreading the Munzee love around the world. We’re excited for what’s coming, and we hope you will be, too.

Munzee on!

We can’t wait to see old friends and meet new ones!

Munzee on!

Munzee 3.2 is Now Available

In a post last week, Rob mentioned changes to the Munzee app. This morning, we pushed Munzee 3.2 to the App Store and Google Play Store.

This update includes:

Alerts: Premium Members can receive push notifications when new expiring specials show up in their homezone. Under the menu, there is now a section called “Alerts” that allows you to set your homezone and distances for expiring specials.
Increased Zoom Range: You can now zoom out farther than previously. Please keep in mind that zooming out farther in areas with dense munzee clusters can cause issues in.
Re-Designed Deploy/Update Process: You now have the ability to go back and forth between screens and go back from editing without changes.
Additional Updates/Improvements: These include white status bar text for better readability, updated translations, and minor bug fixes and improvements

We are continuing to update and improve the Munzee app and game every day. These changes are just the start, and we can’t wait to show you what else we have in store.

Thank you for everything you do for the Munzee game and community.

Munzee on!
