🎤 Battle of the Bards Competition 🎶

The Musical Melee Mailbox has officially launched — and with it comes a whole new way to celebrate Munzee’s 14th Birthday! Players who join in will not only enjoy 31 days of epic cards and a brand-new Widdl Bard, but they’ll also gain access to a fierce new team-based competition: the Battle of the Bards! If you enjoyed the clash of titans in our ROB vs SMS competition, you’re going to love this amped-up birthday battle! Instead of two rival factions, this musical showdown features four battling bands, each vying to claim the crown through skillful card deployment, strategic captures, and nonstop teamwork.

Whether you’re shredding solos, banging drums, or deploying cards like setlists, every action will help push your band toward victory. And here’s the best part — all four teams will earn rewards just for participating! Of course, only one band will take home the top spot and unlock exclusive winner’s prizes and a commemorative badge! Want in on the action? All you need to do is purchase a Musical Melee Mailbox and deploy it! You’ll be randomly sorted into a band of bardic battlers and ready to rock when the competition begins July 1st! You’ll be able to track your team’s progress on the leaderboard from CuppaZee once it kicks off here: https://web.cuppazee.com/bards

Read on to learn how it works, what earns points, and how your team can take the stage and steal the spotlight!

🎸 Meet the Team Bands 🎭

They’ve tuned their instruments, painted their banners, and sharpened their solos — now it’s time to reveal the four mighty musical factions battling for bardic glory! Whether you’re drawn to thunderous riffs, cosmic beats, enchanted melodies, or highland howls, there’s a band for every bard.

All Musical Melee Mailbox owners will be randomly sorted into teams and receive temporary Player Titles by July 1st at 12:00 MHQ! Who will you fight for?

• Crimson Chalice — Enchanted troubadours of the enchanted forest, blending fairy-tale harmonies with Renaissance flair. Their show might look like a storybook — but their lute solos are pure legend.
• Star Sirens — Glam-rocking aliens with otherworldly fashion and synth-infused magic. This intergalactic ensemble dazzles with stage presence and shreds across galaxies with star-powered precision. Sparkles guaranteed.
• The AXEidents — Dwarven metalheads with axes in hand and amps at max, this band lives for the loudest battle cries and heaviest riffs. If you like your solos scorching and your volume up to 11, you’re in the right pit. GWWAAAAH!!
• Storm Bound — Viking virtuosos who ride lightning and command the waves with storm-forged licks and electric rhythms. Honor, harmony, and a bit of thunder in every track — they’re the eye of the storm!

🎤 Battle of the Bards 🎶

The curtain rises on the ultimate musical melee showdown! The Battle of the Bards officially kicks off on Tuesday, July 1st at 12:00 MHQ and rocks on until Thursday, July 31st at 23:59 MHQ. During this time, players will earn points for their team by deploying and capturing Musical Melee Mailbox cards — with each card color tied to a specific band. That’s right, your every move on the map helps your band climb the charts (and the competition leaderboard)!

As a reminder, all 31 cards will be delivered at once on July 1st, giving you the power to plan ahead! Coordinate with your bandmates, deploy near busy events, and watch your team’s score soar. Strategic plays are the name of the game — so don’t just cap randomly, cap with purpose! Each card is worth a different number of competition points below:

Need more firepower? We’ve got you covered! 🎯 Mailbox owners can also trade in Stamps in the Redeem Store throughout the month to earn additional Musical Melee cards to deploy for even more team points. Whether you’re saving them for the perfect moment or flooding the map with band support, every card counts! The redeem store options will go live sometime between launch and July 3rd.

🏆 Bards Will Be Rewarded 🎁

No matter which band you’re backing, there’s treasure to be had! All four teams in the Battle of the Bards will walk away with something — but only one band will bask in the glory of a first-place finish and take home the ultimate prize pack! So don’t hold back — deploy smart, capture often, and cheer your teammates on!

Winners will be officially announced on Friday, August 1st at 15:00 MHQ!

🪵🎻 A Widdl Bard in the Musical Melee Mailbox 🎵📬

🎉 It’s time to raise your banners and your instruments — Munzee is turning 14 this July! The New Dawn Festival returns in full fanfare after its grand debut last year, and we’re bringing the celebration to every corner of the Munzee Kingdom! And what’s a birthday without a mailbox full of surprises? Introducing the all-new Musical Melee Mailbox — a medieval, musical mashup where lutes meet loot and every card you play can change the score. And this time instead of a mech companion, you’ll be joined by a brand-new bardic temporary POB, the Widdl Bard!

🎭 But that’s not all — this year’s festival also heralds the beginning of an epic new Battle Of The Bards! Like the fan-favorite ROB vs SMS event, this competitive twist turns your Mailbox card deploys and captures into points for your team. Join by purchasing a Musical Melee Mailbox, and you’ll be randomly sorted into one of four melodic factions once the competition begins on July 1st. Work together with your bandmates to play your cards right — and don’t worry, all four teams will be rewarded for their efforts, with the winning team receiving additional bonus prizes and an exclusive badge! 🎁🎶

Full details on the Battle of the Bards competition will be revealed TOMORROW since this blog is already quite long— but for now, keep reading to learn everything you need to know about the Musical Melee Mailbox!

How the Musical Melee Mailbox Works

This mailbox is a bit different from our past mailboxes. You will receive ALL 31 Themed Greeting Cards at once on Tuesday, July 1st at/around 12:00 MHQ to deploy at anytime throughout the month! Since this mailbox has a competition tied to it, this will allow you to strategize with your team to plan locations to deploy at various times. Remember to still capture the mailbox each day to maximize the number of points you will earn AND receive other prizes that will be delivered on specific days.

The Musical Melee Mailbox is available for $25 and includes the following:

NEW Widdl Bard Details

Like the Widdl Zombie, the Widdl Bard is no ordinary Widdl — it’s already maxed out at Level 10, so you’ll be raking in those high-tier points right from the start! Plus, you can redeploy the Widdl Bard directly from a Wishing Well for just 25 Stars, just like your other Level 10 Widdlz. As a reminder, this is a temporary POB that will remain on the map for 5 days.

Landing Pads

Greenies All Virtual Colors Widdlz Workshop

This Widdl can be spotted on the landing pads listed above every 1 hour or when captured.

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

Well Wisp Scatter Bonus

When this Widdl is captured, it will scatter a Well Wisp nearby to start a trail. These are the same Well Wisps from the Daily Stroll, which will be deployed on the Wishmaster account.

Capture: 50

These scatters will only be visible to the capper and expire after 120 minutes. They have a capture radius of 300 feet.
