December Garden Gnome Reminder + Final Gnomes Preview!

We’re posting this earlier than usual so Gnome Collectors have all the info they need before the holiday rush! As the year comes to a close, we wanted to make sure you were heading into January with your desired Garden Gnomes! The skin for completing your December capture streak (and the corresponding badge) will be awarded in early January, but we couldn’t wait to share what’s in store!

December Garden Gnome Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Garden Gnome yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $1.

Players can only purchase 1 Garden Gnome every 28 days.

Don’t forget that you’ll need to own at least 8 Garden Gnomes by the end of the year to have a permanent one next year — so make sure to stock up soon if you’re a fan of these sporty lawn decorations!

We also released special Reseller Garden Gnomes in March — if you’re interested, you can check out our blog post on them HERE!

Final Garden Gnomes Details

What Gnome Skins can you look forward to receiving in January 2022? If you met the requirement to receive a permanent Garden Gnome, you’ll see the new Stone Garden Gnome in your account, which behaves the same way as the original Garden Gnome we released in January 2021. Don’t worry if you like the look of the original Garden Gnome — it will be available as a skin for this Stone Garden Gnome!

Then, as we announced last month, to earn the New Years Eve skin, you’ll need to have completed this month’s (December’s) capture streak. Once the skin is awarded in January, you can change the skin on the gnome to this one at any point — refer to our original blog post for the instructions!

Points

  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300

You can find these festive gnomes partying at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the New Years Eve Garden Gnome will scatter up to 3 NEW Gnome Countdown Caps nearby when it is captured!

Like the other Gnome Hats, the Gnome Countdown Cap will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Gnome 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 hat scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Gnome Hats are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

These Garden Gnomes will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture these Garden Gnomes on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Garden Gnome visits you. These Garden Gnomes are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access these Garden Gnomes by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

As a reminder, Garden Gnomes have 4 associated badge lines:

  • Unique type deploy badges — you’ll need to earn each month’s skin by keeping your streak up!
  • Overall deploy badges — the more gnomes you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned gnome!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many gnomes as you can find!

While we revealed images for the first of each badge line in the original post, we are happy to show you the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with these Garden Gnomes:

Additionally, we’ve continued to add badges to the “Overall deploy” and “Overall capture” lines — both lines now have 6 badges each. We’ll keep the requirements a secret, but here are the first of the new badges:

We hope you are ready to ring in the new year with these final Gnome Skins!

Munzee on!

Collect CO4L and Other Goodies in Christmas Crackers!

Having trouble collecting CO4L? We promised to release some MOBs that should make the task MUCH easier, so here they are now! Starting at 12:00 MHQ on December 7th, Christmas Cracker specials will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on January 2nd.

Christmas Cracker Specials

These poppin’ packages will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 500 Holly Christmas Crackers and 500 Jolly Christmas Crackers. They will bounce around on the map every 4 hours or when captured. You can find Christmas Cracker specials at the following munzees near you:

Holly Christmas Crackers will be attracted to Physical Magnets, while Jolly Christmas Crackers 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 Christmas Cracker, you will receive:

  • 1 – 3 CO4L Credits
  • A random item inside, revealed similarly to the 1st/2nd/3rd Place Results of the #WorldBicycleDay specials or the catches from the Go Fishing specials.
    • At launch you can expect to see the Orange, Green and Blue Party Hats from Holly Christmas Crackers, and the Purple, Yellow, and Red Party Hats from the Jolly Christmas Crackers.
      • The rare Unicorn Party Hat can be found in both!
  • A random amount of points — rarer items will be worth more! However, they will always award 25 points for CapOn.

More items will appear as the month goes on, so make sure to keep an eye out! They won’t be party hats — we want to add some variety! However, this first week is your best chance at finding the Unicorn Party Hat as there are less items in the pools.

Badges

There will be five badges to earn for these specials. Three are based on the total number of Christmas Cracker specials you capture, but just how many captures it takes to earn all 3 badges will be kept a secret! The remaining 2 badges are based on receiving at least 1 of each of the different Christmas Cracker items. You can see the first badge below:

Yule Tide Tug o’ War- Capture 1 Christmas Cracker special.

We hope these specials inspire you to get cracking on your Munzee activities this month!

Munzee on!

Need Help Putting Up the Christmas Lights? Zeus is Your Man!

For the most wonderful time of the year, it sure is a lot of work! Especially if you make the effort to decorate the exterior of your home with colorful Christmas lights — it is not only a veritable workout but also a potentially dangerous task. So if you’d prefer to pass the task off to a professional this year, you’ll be in good hands with this newest Modern Myth!

Zeus will be available for sale starting at 15:00 MHQ time today until 12:00 MHQ time on Dec 6!

Zeus Details

The Zeus Modern Myth will be available for purchase HERE! He will be spotted bouncing around to Greenies, Topazes, Electric Mysteries, Yellow, Orange, and Light Green Colored Virtuals*, Treehouses, and Skylands every 12 hours or when capped.

Each Zeus is numbered and will be owned by a Munzee player. You can pick this Myth up for $20! The sale is open to anyone regardless of other Mythological ownership. Only ONE (1) Zeus is allowed per account.

Points

  • Deploy: 250
  • Capture: 200
  • CapOn: 100

In keeping with the Modern Myth line, when he is captured 3 new munzees will also be scattered nearby — these will either be Lightning Bolts or Multimeters!

These will scatter like feathers so there are no CapOn points but they are worth 50 points for capture!

Zeus is able to be upgraded via a Bouncer Upgrade Credit, which gives the ability to be “nudged” or be renamed. The upgrade credit will give you the ability to “nudge” your Zeus to a new munzee up to three times a day, following the MHQ 24-hour day, after it has been on its host munzee for at least three hours. This nudging ability is only available for the owner via the munzee’s webpage and is not available in the app.

Your munzee will still retain its unique number, but feel free to get creative when it comes to renaming your Zeus! Just be sure to follow the Player Code of Conduct, and remember Munzee maintains a family-friendly environment.

If you’re hoping to cap one of these brand new Modern Myths, then you’re in luck! Zeus will be attracted to Munzee Magnets and Virtual Munzee Magnets. You can access Zeus by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Mythological” filters.

Badges

Deploying Zeus will earn you the badge shown on the left below. All captures will count toward the Myth Collectors badge line. There is also a line of hidden Capture badges that you can earn for Zeus captures, with 3 badges currently available, but more to come! The first in this line is shown on the right below:

Previous Modern Myths Still Available!

If you missed out on Poseidon, Aphrodite, or Hades, they were available until today as part of our Cyber Munzday Sale, which was set to end at the time of this blog’s release. Since we don’t want Zeus to be lonely in the store, we’ve extended the time period for these Modern Myths ONLY — they will now remain in the store until the same end date as Zeus.

Lastly, if you are interested in owning Zeus on a personal tag, you can pick one up here!

We hope you’re ready to welcome this new Myth incarnation to the family! Zeus is the final Modern Myth for now, but you never know what the future may hold!

Munzee on!

*Yellow, Orange, and Light Green Colored Virtuals include:

  • Virtual Asparagus
  • Virtual Olive Green
  • Virtual Yellow Green
  • Virtual Green Yellow
  • Virtual Spring Green
  • Virtual Gold
  • Virtual Yellow
  • Virtual Goldenrod
  • Virtual Dandelion
  • Virtual Orange
  • Virtual Burnt Orange

December 2021 Clan Wars Requirements

It’s almost December! You’ll find all the latest details to our clan requirements and rewards in the clan section of our app. There have been a few issues with activity not counting for some players in the opening minutes of the clan war. Please be sure to give our servers a bit of time to switch from Clan Wars OFF to Clan Wars ON. 🙂 This will ease frustration, just 10 or 15 minutes will make all the difference. We’re happy everyone is so anxious to get started on the 3rd of each month! In addition: Please do not change your clan membership for at least 2 hours after the month ends.

December Badges

Your Clan can earn monthly badges to earn for reaching distinct levels of Clan Wars each month. You won’t be able to earn a badge until the entire clan has reached the specified level. Since there is NO Level X this month, there will be a total of 5 badges available in December. The first badge will appear as follows:

Overall Clan Notes:

Please keep in mind Levels 4 & 5 are considered advanced gameplay and not recommended for brand new players. Be aware when allowing new players to join your clans.

If you are not a member on December 1st you will not be able to qualify until December 15th. If you lose qualification before the 15th you will not be able to qualify until January 1st.

*Claimed QRates will not carry over from before the clan battle starts. The QRate must be found, opened, and claimed during the month of the current clan battle. This time period begins on the 3rd, same as the clan battle.

*All shards may be redeemed at https://www.munzee.com/redeem

Watch the online store for sales during the month to help meet your goals.
Use evolution reset credits to get new CapOn points from OLD deploys (they do NOT count as new deploys)

And finally, be responsible. If your local government, your health, or any circumstances require you to Stay Home – DO NOT participate. It is up to each of us to determine what is safe and what is allowed. This is a game and not worth risking your own live or the lives of others.
Munzee on, stay safe and Play Your Way!

Requirements and rewards found in app are the final word. Please report any issues to Munzee support.
Play at your own risk, within the laws of your local area.

November Garden Gnome Reminder + December Preview!

As the month comes to a close, we wanted to make sure you were heading into December with your desired Garden Gnomes! The skin for completing your November capture streak (and the corresponding badge) will be awarded in early December, but we couldn’t wait to share what’s in store!

November Garden Gnome Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Garden Gnome yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $2.

Each month, the price of a Garden Gnome will decrease by $1. However, players can only purchase 1 Garden Gnome every 28 days.

Don’t forget that you’ll need to own at least 8 Garden Gnomes by the end of the year to have a permanent one next year — so make sure to stock up soon if you’re a fan of these sporty lawn decorations!

We also released special Reseller Garden Gnomes in March — if you’re interested, you can check out our blog post on them HERE!

December Garden Gnome Details

What Gnome Skin can you look forward to receiving in December? The skilled Skiing Garden Gnome! Like the other gnomes, the Skiing Garden Gnome is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until 23:59 MHQ on December 31. as long as players with permanent Garden Gnomes continue to use it.

As stated earlier, to earn this skin, you’ll need to have completed this month’s (November’s) capture streak. Once the skin is awarded in December, you can change the skin on the gnome to this one at any point — refer to our original blog post for the instructions!

Points

  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300

You can find these chill gnomes gliding to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Skiing Garden Gnome will scatter up to 3 NEW Gnome Toque Toppers nearby when it is captured!

Like the other Gnome Hats, the Gnome Toque Topper will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Gnome 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 hat scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Gnome Hats are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

The Skiing Garden Gnome will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Skiing Garden Gnomes on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Skiing Garden Gnome visits you. Skiing Garden Gnomes are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Skiing Garden Gnomes by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

As a reminder, Garden Gnomes have 4 associated badge lines:

  • Unique type deploy badges — you’ll need to earn each month’s skin by keeping your streak up!
  • Overall deploy badges — the more gnomes you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned gnome!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many gnomes as you can find!

While we revealed images for the first of each badge line in the original post, we are happy to show you the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with the Skiing Garden Gnome:

We hope you aren’t iced out from earning December’s Gnome Skin! Don’t forget to keep your streak up through December — you’ll need to in order to earn the extra Gnome Skin if you’ll have a permanent Garden Gnome next year!

Munzee on!

November 2021 GOTM Winners

Can you believe we’re already more than halfway through the month? It feels like we announced October’s GOTM just yesterday! Looking back at the month so far, we started things off by releasing our final set of Baby Animals via the MunzPak, In-App Store, and Redeem Store. A few days later we kicked off our word-y theme for the month with the Tongue Tied MOBs, and followed up the next week with the Flat Typewriter and the Short Story and Song About You Greeting Cards.

Looking forward, we also released a few things in preparation for the holidays next month: Christmas Events, Sir Prize Santa, and more new Greeting Cards!

Perhaps most exciting though, was our most recent update which allows Premium members to blast munzees according to their Filter settings!

We are now happy to announce the winners of the November Gardens of the Month (GOTM)! The badges will be awarded by early December, but we couldn’t wait to share the winners we’ve chosen!

November GOTM

While this month wasn’t RUM-focused, we did have pirates on the brain! Remember that all winning GOTM organizers and all players who deployed in the winning gardens will be awarded special badges for their contribution to growing the map. This month we’re happy to award the Pirates Treasure Map, designed by nyisutter, and the Pirate’s Treasure, designed by gargoyle18, as our winning November GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Pirates Treasure Map by nyisutter in St. Charles, MO

For extra incentive, Onyxes were used as the trail to the treasure!

Here’s a note from a player who nominated this garden:

This garden was created to lead players to all the treasure deployed by and for the Pirates clan.

On paper, a rectangular garden composed of mostly Virtual Colors doesn’t sound very exciting, but this garden is a shining example of the contrary! Kudos to the Pirates clan for coming up with a great design that we’d love to visit and cap someday!

Pirate’s Treasure by gargoyle18 in Clarks Summit, PA

The mixture of Jewels and Virtual Colors makes the inside of the chest very eye-catching, capturing the jewel tones we associate with treasure!

Here’s a note from a player who nominated this garden:

There are a couple local players that like the pirate theme. And this garden is like a sister garden to a pirate ship garden nearby. It is also hand cap-able.

Of course, we couldn’t resist pairing the Treasure Map with a Treasure Chest! We first heard about this garden in April 2020, so it’s been considered as a potential winner for a while — we were just waiting for the perfect opportunity!

All players who deployed in the respective winning gardens will receive the following special badges:

Rules for GOTM nominations:

  1. Garden must feature non-licensed character designs.
  2. The garden must feature a Garden Places Pin.
  3. The garden must be built using a publicly available spreadsheet which we will ask to be locked after being 100% deployed.
  4. We’re asking for ongoing nominations and we will release the winners throughout the year.

Based on your feedback, we’ve created a Google Form where you can submit GOTM nominations — here’s the link: https://forms.gle/SjUQeRxdi5FT81pCA

We’ll still check the iloveyou@munzee.com inbox for stragglers, but please try to send your submissions to this new Google Form instead. Keep in mind that we take all former nominations into consideration for upcoming months. Just be sure your garden follows the nomination rules in order to be considered eligible!

If you need help deploying in a Virtual Garden, you can check out this step-by-step tutorial that will making deploying in a garden easy no matter how long you’ve been playing. To fill in the gardens, make sure to stock up on Virtuals and Color Credits from the Freeze Tag Online Store.

Munzee on!

P.S. Are you looking for POTM requirements? Remember that last year, we announced that we were holding off on POTM for now as we develop a new way to highlight our unique player base!

Marathon Classic Movies this Weekend with the Flat DHS!

World Television Day is coming up this Sunday, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have some fun with Dylan’s Flat DHS!

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Friday, November 19th at 12:00 MHQ through Monday, November 22nd at 12:00 MHQ, when you capture a Flat DHS, up to 3 Tapes may be scattered nearby!

The Tapes will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flat DHS owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes, have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well! These tape scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Tapes are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points

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

Badges

There are 2 badges available for this special period. Make sure you cap as many Tapes as you can to receive both badges!

DHS Discount!

Need more Flat DHS’s near you? We’ve got a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” discount code you can use at the Freeze Tag Store! The code is BTGOFLATDHS. You must add 3 Flat DHS’s to your cart to use it, and are limited to 2 uses per order (in other words — put 6 in the cart, pay for 4, 2 are free). This code will be valid for the same time period as the scatters mentioned above.

We hope these scatters provide some fun extra gameplay this weekend!

Munzee on!

Some Garden Gnomes are Going Gnomewhere!

After releasing the details for the eSports Gnome skin and experimenting with Halloween skins for Myths, we decided it would be a waste if Garden Gnomes disappeared completely from the map. Not to mention all the effort we put into creating them, and all the effort you put into keeping up your streak every day to earn them!

However, we’d still like to make room for new tPOBs we’re planning for next year. That, combined with the unique pricing of Garden Gnomes made it tricky for us to determine how many should stay, and what would be fair to players who have been collecting them. Ultimately, we’ve decided that players who own at least 8 Garden Gnomes (the actual gnomes, not the skins) will have 1 permanent Garden Gnome to keep.

If you meet this requirement by 23:59 MHQ on December 31st, the permanent Garden Gnome will be auto-deployed on your account some time on January 1st, and will retain the ability to switch between earned skins at any time. You may find that the process of making it a permanent POB has changed the base gnome’s appearance, though you’ll be able to access the original Garden Gnome as a skin and switch to it as well.

One More Skin!

Due to this change, we decided to create 1 more Garden Gnome skin, which you can earn by keeping up your capture streak in December. When the permanent Garden Gnomes are auto-deployed, they will come with this new skin, along with the skins you previously earned.

This also means that next year’s Monthly tPOB will not come with an extra skin in January (à la the Ice Hockey Gnome), and just be sold as the base version of that tPOB. Then, if you keep up your capture streak in January, you will receive a skin in February as usual.

Need more Garden Gnomes?

As mentioned in our monthly Garden Gnome posts, the gnomes can be purchased from the Freeze Tag Store once every 28 days, so we hope that if you’re close to that number and are interested in having a permanent Garden Gnome, this gives you enough time to pick one up. Since we’ve been reducing the price by a dollar each month, currently a Garden Gnome only costs $2! If you need a few more, don’t forget that our Authorized Resellers also have Garden Gnomes in stock, if you haven’t bought them already (each Reseller Gnome is limited to 1 per player).

Otherwise, don’t feel too bad if you won’t have a Garden Gnome to keep — next year’s Monthly tPOB is still in the works, and promises to have an equally fun theme, which we’ll announce once we have more details solidified!

Munzee on!

 

P.S. What do you think next year’s Monthly tPOB will be?

Tongue Tied Specials To Touch Up Your Utterances — Say That 10 Times Fast!

Last month, we asked about some of your favorite tongue twisters to draw inspiration from to help us celebrate the upcoming International Tongue Twister Day! We chose to feature tongue twisters that we thought would translate well into Munzee pins! Starting at 12:00 MHQ on November 4th, Tongue Tied specials will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on November 30th.

Tongue Tied Specials

These muddled muscles will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 400 Mega Mouthfuls and 400 Tongue Twisters. They will bounce around on the map every 4 hours or when captured. You can find Tongue Tied specials at the following munzees near you:

  • Mega Mouthful:
  • Tongue Twister:
    • Virtual Colors
    • Places:
      • Library
      • University
      • Historical
      • Museum
      • Airport
    • Virtual RUMs

Both will be worth 150 points for the Capture and 50 points for the CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out! Mega Mouthfuls will be attracted to Physical Magnets, while Tongue Twisters 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 Tongue Tied special, up to three virtual munzees will scatter nearby, like Feathers. These scatters are based on a variety of different tongue twisting phrases from around the world. These munzees will stay on the map for 4 hours or when captured, and will be worth 50 points as well.

At launch you can expect to see the following:

  • Scatters from Mega Mouthfuls:
    • Woodchuck Wood
    • Baby Bubbles
  • Scatters from Tongue Twisters
    • She Shells
    • Fresh Fish

More scatters will appear as the month goes on, so make sure to keep an eye out!

Badges

There will be six badges to earn for these specials. Five are based on the total number of Tongue Tied specials you capture, but just how many captures it takes to earn all 5 badges will be kept a secret! The remaining badge is based on capturing each of the different Tongue Tied scatters as they appear in the wild. You can see the first badge below:

Alphabet Soup- Capture 1 Tongue Tied special of any type.

We hope these specials aren’t too tough to say — or capture!

Munzee on!
