November 2023 GOTM Winners

November GOTM

This month we received several creative submissions, but ultimately, we narrowed it down to these two lovely gardens! 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 Pelican Tarpon Springs designed by hunniees and dt07751, and Wise Old Owl in Ampthill designed by purplecourgette, and as our winning November GOTM!

The gardens appear as follows:

Pelican Tarpon Springs designed by hunniees and dt07751 in Tampa, FL.

Ready and on the look out for any fishes! Now for its feathery friend!

Wise Old Owl in Ampthill designed by purplecourgette in London, UK.

This garden is sure to be a hoot to capture in person!

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

If you’d like to nominate a Virtual Garden for GOTM or if you need help deploying in a Garden, you can check out the Munzee Help Guide to learn more! To fill in the gardens, make sure to stock up on Virtuals from the Freeze Tag Online Store.

Munzee on!

Fast Forward Through Holiday Stress With Flat DHS Scatters!

Thanksgiving travel is one of the busiest times of the year and Dylan is on a mission to return his tapes to the only video rental store in the country! Unfortunately his collection of mint condition retro relics is so big he keeps dropping them, so we need your help cleaning up his mess. In celebration of World TV Day we’re bringing back the Flat DHS scatters, so be kind and rewind while you can!

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Tuesday, November 21st at 00:01 MHQ through Sunday, November 26th at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture a Flat DHS, up to 3 Tapes may be scattered nearby!

As before, 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

We’ve created 1 new badge for this special period. In addition, if you missed out on the badges from the previous year’s event, you’ll be able to earn them as well. You can see what these badges look like below. Make sure you cap as many Tapes as you can to receive all 3 badges!

DHS Discount!

Need more Flat DHS’s near you? We’ve got a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” discount you can use at the Freeze Tag Store! You must add 3 Flat DHS’s to your cart to use it (in other words — put 6 in the cart, pay for 4, 2 are free). There is NO CODE required — the discount should apply automatically! This discount 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!

Festive AniMailbox
Points
  • Deploy: 100
  • Capture: 10

How the Festive AniMailbox Works

Starting Friday, December 1 at 00:01 MHQ, each day you cap your Festive AniMailbox you will be awarded a different animal themed holiday Greeting Card capture, similar to the other mailboxesPlease note that you’ll only be able to earn that specific card on that day, so you really don’t want to miss a day. Once you cap that card you’ll earn points, and you may also get some extra prizes! To learn more about Mailboxes visit the Munzee Help Guide HERE!

The Festive AniMailbox is available for $25 and includes the following:

  • 1 Festive AniMailbox Munzee to deploy and move around anywhere at anytime!
  • 1 Daily Capture of the mailbox each MHQ day starting on November 17th or when first deployed, which should help with keeping up your streaks!
  • 31 Mailbox Prize Days starting on December 1st and ending on December 31st, which will deliver the goodies below when captured, including Cards, Zeds, Munzees to deploy and more!
  • 31 Themed Greeting Cards to both CAPTURE and DEPLOY!
  • 1 PTR Cotton-Mail Mech deployed when capturing the mailbox on December 1st.
  • Exclusive access to Double Point Events
  • Exclusive access to Scatter Events and Special Badges
  • This mailbox will archive on January 1, 2024

If you’re interested, you can purchase it in the FT Store! You will still be able to purchase the AniMailbox after it begins, but you won’t be able to earn rewards from the days that have passed. We suggest purchasing your mailbox as soon as possible to start learning the mysteries it beholds! For more details about how mailboxes work, check out our Help Guide here!

PTR Cotton-Mail Mech

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the PTR Cotton-Mail Mech is a temporary POB. The PTR Cotton-Mail will remain on the map until it has been captured 10 times, as you can see below. You will receive a fully-built PTR Cotton-Mail Mech that will auto-deploy on your account when the mailbox is captured on December 1st. You will also receive the Blueprint to rebuild it when you have earned enough Cogs in the future. It will cost 18 Cogs to rebuild this mech.

PTR Cotton-Mail Mech

  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 150-200
  • Static (Crushed) Capture: 500
  • Static (Crushed) CapOn: 200-250
Landing Pads

You can find this hopping aniMail carrier at the landing pads above every 6 hours or when captured.

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

When a PTR Cotton-Mail is captured, it will scatter up to 2 CAREot Packages.

CAREot Package
Points
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 25-33

These scatters will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Mech owner’s account. This means that unlike Air Mystery Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Badges

There are a variety of badge lines associated with this Mailbox, so look forward to earning even more as the month progresses!

  • Festive AniMailbox deploy badge — deploying a Festive AniMailbox will earn you a special badge that you can see below.
  • Festive AniMailbox Card capture badges — capture at least 1 of each unique Festive AniMailbox card! We’ll keep what these look like a secret for now.

Munzee on!

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!

Secret ZeeOps- Operation: Killer Crops (November 2023)

An ALL NEW Secret ZeeOps, Operation: Killer Crops, is now available in the ZeeOps Hub for 1,500 Zeds. It will be available for purchase until Sunday, December 31st at 23:59 MHQ. If you’ve purchased a Secret ZeeOp, you will be able to complete it and collect rewards even after it is no longer available for purchase.

ZeeOps scientists have begun a new artificial farming initiative using Mech parts, and initial reports are very promising! This new mechanized agricultural approach could end world hunger, and our latest specimen- a pumpkin mech we’ve named JACK-E II- has shown astounding growth in a short amount of time. It currently consumes motor oil and cogs, but we’re investigating alternative fertilizing materials as well. We need you to run some tests in the name of science so we can help produce results. If you complete ALL the missions in Operation: Killer Crops, you’ll receive the snazzy badge below, along with the PumpC0RN Munzee (more info below!) and various other rewards listed in the app!

There are 3 levels. Level 1 has 5 missions, Level 2 has 5 missions, and Level 3 has 5 missions. Each level ends with more prizes.

PumpC0RN Details

The PumpC0RN is a special combination of Evolution and Munzee Mech. The evolution breakdown is as follows:

  • PumpC0RN to JACK-E II: after 3 caps (3 caps total)
  • JACK-E II to JACK-E-Lantern: after 5 caps (8 caps total)
  • JACK-E-Lantern to Auto-Archive: after 4 caps (12 caps total)
    • This mech can be rebuilt again at anytime using Cogs!

You can get the full details in our Help Guide article HERE!

On behalf of MHQ, we thank you for your continued service.

Scaring Is Caring With NEW PreZent Specials!

WHAT’S THIS?! You may have thought spooky season was over, but we have a few more nightmares before Christmas gets here! Remember scaring is caring though, so we’re excited to announce a new series of spooky PreZent Specials that will take us into the new year!  From NOW until Sunday, January 14th at 23:59 MHQ QReepy and Vile PreZents will be bouncing around the map, and you’ll be able to unbox a variety of different spooky goods.

QReepy & Vile PreZent Specials

First up we’re having a SCREAM light special on Halloween themed Terror Toys which can only be earned by capping the base PreZents! Sure it’s the season of giving, but these gifts were a scary good deal and they’ll be perfect donation items for Toys For Trolls. Don’t worry there will be plenty of other scary seasonal gifts throughout the next couple months so expect more wicked winter PreZents just in the St. Nick of time for Christmas! 

PreZent specials will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 1,500 QReepy PreZents and 1,500 Vile PreZents. They will bounce around every 3 hours or when capped.

QReepy PreZent Vile PreZent
Points Points
  • Capture: 150
  • CapOn: 50
  • Capture: 150
  • CapOn: 50
Landing Pads Landing Pads

These specials will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a PreZent on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same PreZent visits you. These munzees will not be blastable. They will be attracted to magnets, available from the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can access the PreZent specials under the “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Specials” filters.

When a PreZent is captured, it will reveal a creepily crafted gift inside! At launch each PreZent has the potential to award different items, and more items will appear as the months go on, so make sure to keep an eye out!

While we want to keep most of them a surprise right now, here’s a sneak peek at one of them:

Isn’t Scary Beary so cute you could die?!

Badges

There will be a total of 7 new badges to earn from capping PreZents:

  • The 1st line has 3 badges which are based on the total number of captures of PreZents. You can see the title and description of the first badge in this line below.
  • The 2nd line has 4 badges, and they are based on finding and collecting all the items in each PreZent set. We’ll keep these a secret for now, but be on the lookout for more haunted holiday fun!

 

Make sure to keep capping PreZents each week to see if any new items have been released!

Double Points Weekend Reminder

Don’t forget that double point weekend is now active! Get 2x points on all Greeting Cards, Flats, Gaming, Evolution, and Mystery Munzees until Sunday, November 12 at 23:59 MHQ! Shop the collection HERE to make the most of the weekend’s bonuses!

Munzee on!

Celebrate the changing seasons with EQUiN0X Duo Mechz!

Here in North America daylight savings time just hit and we had to Fall back, which means we only have a few more weeks left of Autumn! To celebrate the ever-changing zeesons we have an all new Duo Mech set inspired by the Fall and Spring Equinoxes! Much like our Y1N and Y4NG Mechz the all new SPR33NG and FR33 FALL Mechz can join forces to control the seasons around the world (for half the year anyways). Read on to learn more!

SPR33NG, FR33 FALL, and EQUiN0X Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the SPR33NG, FR33 FALL, and EQUiN0X are temporary POBs. The SPR33NG and FR33 FALL will remain on the map until they have been captured 5 times, while the EQUiN0X will remain on the map until it has been captured 3 times. Once the Mechz reach their capture limit they will be “sprung out,” “squashed,” or in “spring cleaning” mode respectively, which results in more points for the capper.

You have the option of purchasing the FR33 FALL in the Freeze Tag Store HERE and the SPR33NG in the In-App Store for 750 Zeds. They’ll be in the stores until the new Winter season rolls around 12:00 MHQ on Thursday, December 21st. Both will automatically deploy on your account upon purchase, and you’ll be able to rebuild them for 7 Cogs each. As for the EQUiN0X Mech, the only way to deploy it is by deploying both the SPR33NG and FR33 FALL Mechz within the same MHQ day. Once you’ve met this requirement, a new EQUiN0X Mech will be deployed on your account.

Points

  • SPR33NG and FR33 FALL:
    • Deploy: 500
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 100
    • Sprung Out / Squashed (5th Cap): 500
  • EQUiN0X:
    • Deploy: 104
    • Capture: 251-254
    • CapOn: 100
    • Spring Cleaning (3rd Cap): 501-504

These Mechz will bounce to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

These Mechz will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a SPR33NG, FR33 FALL, or EQUiN0X on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same SPR33NG, FR33 FALL, or EQUiN0X visits you. These munzees will not be blastable. They will be attracted to magnets, available from the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can access these Mechz under the “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When a SPR33NG is captured, it will scatter up to 3 ProPetals. Similarly, when a FR33 FALL is captured, it will scatter up to 3 GourDarts. The EQUiN0X will scatter 1 ProPetal and 1 GourDart.

Points:

  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 25

These scatters will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Mech owner’s account. This means that unlike Air Mystery Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Badges

As with other Munzee Mechz, the badges for deploying the SPR33NG and FR33 FALL depict the Blueprints, and are shown below:

There are 4 more badges associated with these Mechz: the first is for deploying a EQUiN0X Mech. The remaining 3 are for capturing each of these Mechz. We’ll keep these badges a secret for now.

We hope you enjoy the intricate designs of these mostly monochrome Mechz!

NEW Greeting Cards

We have 4 new Limited Edition cards for your deploying pleasure available HERE! Celebrate the season of giving with a slew of new congratulatory cards with friends and frenemies alike!

As they are all Limited Edition cards, the points are as follows:

  • Deploy: 60
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 30

Upcoming Double Points Weekend Reminder

As a reminder for this upcoming weekend, get 2x points on all Greeting Cards, Flats, Gaming, Evolution, and Mystery Munzees starting Friday, November 10th at 00:01 MHQ to Sunday, November 12 at 23:59 MHQ! Shop the collection HERE to make the most of the weekend’s bonuses!

**Event accounts are only to be used for deploying munzees for the event. Capturing munzees, completing ZeeOps, earning and using additional prizes, and any other “normal” gameplay on the event account is a violation of the code of conduct.
