🍰 Earning Cake Credits at Munzee Events!

Events are even sweeter with Cake Credits (CC) available at every Munzee Event. And if you did not know, these tasty treats unlock exclusive rewards. So, be ready to collect these party favors to cash in on all the fun!

Like Jewel Shards, Weapon Shards, and Cogs, Cake Credits can be redeemed at the Redeem Store for game pieces. However, Cake Credits can only be earned from activities relating to Munzee Events. When you attend your next Munzee Event, you’ll want to grab your cake to swap it for your Munzee favorites!

Cake Credit

How to Earn Cake Credits

Getting your hands on Cake Credits is a piece of cake!

  • Earn 50 Cake from capturing the Event Badge.
    • Custom badge or Special event badges only (not just basic event)
  • Earn 10 Cake by capturing the Pink Event Indicator pin.
  • Earn 1 Cake from capturing each physical Event pin (max of 50 per event).

But wait, here’s the icing on the cake! Event Hosts can score extra Cake Credits based on how many players attend their event:

  • Earn 10 Cake for 1-9 attendees.
  • Earn 15 Cake for 10-29 attendees.
  • Earn 25 Cake for 30-49 attendees.
  • Earn 50 Cake for 50-99 attendees.
  • Earn 75 Cake for 100+ attendees.
**Play Fair: Remember, playing unfairly may result in your account being suspended temporarily. If you spot something off or need assistance, submit a ticket to safeguard against unfair play.

Balloon Bouncers!

Don’t forget you can swap Cake Credit for all new Balloon Bouncers in the Redeem Store! Whether you’re blowing up a basic Balloon, or going wild with a unique balloon animal design, these high flying friends are ready to explore the map! Some balloon animal bouncer styles will be available year round, while others (like the Lunar Dragon) will only be available for a limited time. So don’t miss out!

Upcoming Munzee Events

Will we see you at the next mega event of the year? Players in England, Hungary, The Netherlands, and Florida have already exclusive Mega badges and rewards! The upcoming Munzee Madness Event is on a roll, with 40+ attendees already signed up for the two-day extravaganza! Join the party and meet some friendly faces including a few from Team Munzee as well!

Don’t worry if you can’t make it! More Munzee Events are waiting for you. Find one near you listed on the Munzee Calendar, and remember to grab your Cake Credits!

Event Spotlight: Munzee Mecca 2024

Even though you can play Munzee solo, the world of Munzee isn’t just about individual play; it’s about the thrill of connecting with fellow Munzee enthusiasts! Picture this: Munzee Events, where the air is exciting as veterans mingle with newcomers in a safe and welcoming setting. And hey, there’s more than just swapping stories –activities, games, and, if you’re lucky, snagging a sweet goodie bag! But let’s not kid ourselves; pulling off these shindigs takes some serious elbow grease. That’s why we’re shining the spotlight on past events! Get ready to be inspired to throw your bash if you’re a newbie or inject some fresh mojo into your gatherings if you’re a seasoned host. 

Let’s get this party started! 🎉

Today, we’re featuring the Munzee Mecca Events, which took place over the weekend at various locations in Orlando, FL, USA. The weekend was full of events put together by a number of hosts, but for this Spotlight we chatted with host Linda Gartley, AKA CoalCracker7!

Special thanks to the other hosts, MsYB, MrsCB, Jafo43, Whelen, Munzeeprof, EagleDadandXenia, Xptwo, JackSparrow, Chickenrun, Asangel, YankaBucs, BuckeyeCacher111, NYBoss, Macdonr, and TheLanes, for all of their hard work as well!

Munzee Mecca Stained Glass House

Hanging out at the Stained Glass House in Lake Nona!

Please give us a summary of your event.

There were five events held over four days. The Thursday night event was a pre-meet and greet at the edge of a lake. I passed out the ten stops for the Tour of the Town Badge. Friday night was held at the Stained Glass House. We had a special badge for capping specific physicals. The main event was on Saturday. The event was held in a multi-use park with Roller Hockey, Splash Pad, Dog Park, Skate Park, Pickleball, and Soccer fields. We had Walking Tacos and Walking Nanner pudding (Banana Pudding) along with a drawing for a Premium Membership. 

We also played a version of Name That Tune. Clues were also given at each event to find one hidden personal tag. The Space Coast Geo Store was set up for everybody to buy Munzee-related items (i.e., lots of blasts). The Saturday Night Event was held at an Adventure Park with Water Skiing and Football and Soccer Fields. Saturday’s events also provided the opportunity to earn two additional badges for capping specific physicals on Saturday. The last event was on Sunday at the Wave Hotel Sculpture Garden. We provided donuts and coffee before everyone left for the day to go home. The Friday night, Saturday Main, Saturday Night, and Sunday morning events went mega.

What made your event unique?

We had visitors from Europe and all around the U.S. We also hosted special visitors, CoachV, SeeMyShell, and a Geocaching Vlogger. We had a total of five events over four days, with many new gardens to capture.

What tips do you have when hosting an awesome event?Munzee Mecca Host

I believe that a good host should have lots of munzees available to capture, new gardens, and a variety of badges. 

Would you like to highlight any future events you’re hosting?

I will cohost the Florida Munzee Mecca Events in January 2025, and Macdonr will be the lead for those events.

Thank you to CoalCracker7 for being such a great host and submitting the details for this event! We will reach out to other past event hosts in the future, so keep an eye on your inbox!

Munzee Events in 2024!

It’s almost 2024, where has the year gone?!?

We’re so excited to look back on events over the past few years. We’ve seen players gathering together monthly for local events and building communities that enjoy playing Munzee together. Players around the world deploy at events, big and small, to make every event unique and special.

No More Monthly Events

In 2024, we’re going to move away from the monthly events system we’ve used the past two years. The goal was to increase event attendance and the number of events. We feel successful in what we’ve accomplished in this area. We’d like to focus on making events more special and have them feel less like a “requirement” just to earn a badge or gift for the hosts. We understand the pressure some felt to keep hosting events month after month, sometimes with very little help.

In 2024, we will have several special event packages throughout the year, like our current Christmas event package. The first special package will be for the month of February. We encourage players to gather as often as you like, while we return to this system of events from years ago. We will offer the ability for hosts to add custom badges and icons to any events if they like. Our hope with this change is to bring players together for special occasions as often as you like. We will continue to have double point weekends each month, so don’t worry about that!

Upcoming Event Credits!

In 2024, we’re also going to introduce a new reward credit to the event ecosystem. By attending events and capping Event Munzees you’ll be able to earn special credits to use a special section of our Redeem Store! There will be some unique rewards and also current rewards at reduced rates. We hope this will encourage all to attend events, and provide value beyond just the points you receive on that day. The best part of events is often the time spent with other players, but extra rewards certainly won’t hurt!

Updates to Mega Events

In terms of Mega events, we’re going to tweak how this is handled as well. No one will “apply” for mega event status. It will be earned through attendance, then credited by our team after the events have ended. There will be a special new badge for Mega events that have 50 attendees. Will we see events return to more than 100 players in 2024? If so, will there be a special badge for that? Only time will tell, so who will organize the first event that “goes Mega” in 2024?

We know there are some traditional yearly events that have more than 50 attendees and expect they will continue, so we are very excited to offer this NEW badge to celebrate their hard work. We will keep an eye on the calendar for how many have marked “will attend” and will promote these events for any who may want to earn these special new event badges.

We can already see on the calendar some of our annual events are ready to continue.

  • Munzee Mecca, January 12-14 in Orlando, Florida – CALENDAR LINK
  • Munzee Madness, March 8-9 in Fullerton, California – CALENDAR LINK
  • Munzee Mania, May 10-12 near Minneapolis, Minnesota – CALENDAR LINK

Now that we’ve released this information we look forward to seeing events added all over the world and celebrate with you in 2024. Thank you for being a part of our global community!

Bountiful BOO-loon Weekend!

Spooky season is here and we’re shivering with anticipation! This weekend kicks off our first Double Point Weekend in October, and to celebrate this scary scene we’ve added new and returning Halloween themed Greeting Cards back in the store! No, we’re not just full of hot air, October 1 also marked World Balloon Day so we’ve got a new set of BOO-loon Greeting Cards for you to show how much you scare!

Read on to learn more about these ghoulish greeting cards!

NEW Greeting Card Details

We have 4 new Limited Edition cards for your deploying pleasure!

The BOO-loon Greeting Cards feature a variety of ghostly grimaces, some fun and some freaky, that you can send to friends around the world. These creepy cards will only be available in the Freeze Tag Store until November 6th at 12:00 MHQ, so don’t miss out! 

  • Limited Edition Card Points:
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes to add a personal touch! While the capture message will contain your Munzee username as all Greeting Card capture messages do, we think typing in a more specific note will go a long way to creating a more unique and special experience!

Remember that these munzees will be archived 7 days after they are deployed, so make sure your intended recipient captures it before then!

For more information on the Greeting Cards, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Frequent Frighter!

As mentioned earlier, we’ve also added a ton of Halloween themed cards from past spooky seasons, so be sure to stock up and decorate the map with Classic Halloween-themed Cards, CHOMPliments, Spooky Around ZEE World Cards and more! Check out the full collection in the FT Store!

Double Point Weekend!

Lastly, help us kick off spooky season the fright way and enjoy 2x the points on ALL activity for Greeting Cards, Flats, Temp Virtuals, Greenies, and Gaming Munzees from Friday, October 6th at 00:01 MHQ to Sunday October 8th at 23:59 MHQ!

Mega Events started with an absolute BLAST!

Today is a very special day — it’s Lou’s birthday! ?

? Happy birthday Lou! To celebrate, we wanted to look back at the recent Mega events, which were a smashing success thanks to her and all the hosts she coordinated with.

Mega Events started with an absolute BLAST, literally! The first Mega events, collectively called Munzee Mecca 2023, were held January 13-15 on the Space Coast of Florida. The event happened to coincide with SpaceX launching a Falcon Heavy rocket on the evening of the 15th, witnessed by many players still in the area.

 

Thank you to the team of hosts and sponsors for putting on a great series of events. The events were well attended with over 60 players including Flat Rob himself, and the Geocaching Vlogger.

If you haven’t seen the highlight video produced from the weekend please watch it on YouTube.

 

We are looking forward to seeing other Mega events taking place around the world. Here is a list of confirmed Mega events throughout the rest of the year:

We’d love for you all to join these Mega events in person, but remember you can also take part in the fun by deploying Virtual Munzees around the event area. The Munzee Mecca attendees were certainly kept busy capping, and those CapOn points are a nice bonus too!

We plan to promote all Mega events and will make our best attempt to have members of our team attend whenever possible.

Members of our California-based team will be in attendance, as well as Rob and Lou, for the upcoming Munzee Madness events! Each will have a special badge just for this event! Please make your plans to join our team in Southern California, March 3-4.

If you’d like to host your own Mega events contact Lou events@munzee.com.

Munzee on!
