Turning Up the Heat for Lou’s Birthday 🎂🔥

The sky has turned pink, the bubbles are floating, and things are heating up across the map. To celebrate Lou’s birthday, Flat Lou has taken to the skies on her sky-cycle, spreading champagne bubbles and birthday cheer wherever she goes. For a limited time, Flat Lou and her Fancy Flat Lou counterparts are scattering Water Bottles and Champagne Bottles so everyone can stay hydrated, sip something bubbly, and join the celebration in style.

But every great birthday needs a little extra heat. As Lou turns up the fun, Rubies have started scattering Fires across the map, like birthday candles sparking to life. Capture those Fires to help keep the party under control and you might even snag a surprise party favor along the way — a bonus Zed for your efforts!

And if you want to fully gear up for the festivities, the Warm Up Sale is live during the celebration. Enjoy 15% off items in the Warm Up Sale Collection, including Flat Lou and Frigid Munzee types, perfect for stocking up, deploying, and chasing down those flashMOB captures you might have missed. Shop the collection HERE!

Read on for all the details and let the birthday celebration roll! 🎉🚲✨

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Monday, January 26th at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, February 1st at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture a Flat Lou, up to 3 Water Bottles may be scattered nearby! Similarly, when you capture Fancy Flat Lou, up to 3 Champagne Bottles may be scattered nearby! As Lou’s birthday sparks fly, capturing a Ruby can scatter up to 3 Fires in the area. Blow them out like birthday candles and you just might score a festive surprise: 1 Zed!

As with other Flat Scatters, the drinks will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flat 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 scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The scatters are worth the following:

  • Drinks:
    • Capture: 50 points
    • CapOn: 25 points
  • Fires:
    • Capture: 50 points (if you’re brave enough to battle the birthday flames!)
      • OR small chance to get burnt and lose 5-20 points
    • CapOn: 10 points

For more information about the Flat Lou or Fancy Flat Lou, check out our Help Guide article!

🏷️15% OFF Warm Up Sale

Things are heating up, and so are the savings! For the duration of the celebration, enjoy 15% off all items in the Warm Up Sale Collection and gear up for even more birthday fun on the map. Shop the collection HERE: https://store.freezetag.com/collections/warm-up-sale

There is NO CODE required — the discount should apply automatically! Please make sure that you see the discount apply BEFORE you complete your purchase — otherwise, you’ll need to e-mail support@munzee.com as we’ll need to manually issue a partial refund later!

Stylish Fancy Flat Lous

Check out the fun variants of Fancy Flat Lou in the online store!

The only store limit will be up to one per variant per player account, meaning you can buy all three, but not more than one of each.

In other words, each player is allowed to purchase one of each Fancy Flat Lou variant per account. NOTE: The Fancy Flat Lous are not included in the 15% off sale, so they will not be discounted.

Badge

We’ve created 1 new badge for this special period! Make sure you cap as many Flat Lous and Fancy Flat Lous as you can to receive the badge!

Meet Lou!

Thanks to Seemyshell 🦘, we have some fun short videos filmed of us! Here’s Lou introducing herself!

Lou’s birthday celebration is live, and the fun won’t last forever! Grab some bubbly, tame the Fires, and take advantage of the Warm Up Sale before the party winds down. See you out on the map!

Munzee on!

🔍 January 2026 GOTM Winners 📚

This month, the theme was “New Beginnings“, and your garden designs to represent the new year were so creative, it was difficult for us to choose!

Don’t forget — the CuppaZee Gardens Tool is your go-to resource for dreaming up your own designs or finding the perfect spot to deploy! Whether you’re going for grandeur or keeping it light, it’s the best place to start your garden adventure.

Without further ado, let’s jump right in to celebrate the winners for January:

🔍 WhoDuckIt Mag Glass designed by Nezzmuk in Logan, UT, US
The new year is certainly a mystery to us all — but perhaps garden designer Nezzmuk plans to spend it by putting their crime-solving skills to the test! Of course, we always love it when a newer Munzee type, such as the WhoDuckIt, is incorporated into a garden — but even if this garden didn’t include them, it would still be eye-catching as the multiple shades of gray-colored Virtuals and the multiple Flats mirroring them create depth.

📚Antagonist Cafe and Pieces Game Bar ♟️ designed by nyisutter in St. Louis, MO, US
Of all the gardens, we felt that this one fit the theme the best! Garden designer nyisutter took the time to write up their thought process on designing this garden in the description on CuppaZee, so click its name above to check it out! We loved learning the reasons behind the Munzee types they chose to use, and also more about their wishes for the new year. We hope all of those wishes are granted! 🙏

🔍 WhoDuckIt Mag Glass designed by Nezzmuk in Logan, UT, US

📚Antagonist Cafe and Pieces Game Bar ♟️ designed by nyisutter in St. Louis, MO, US

✨ Special Badges for All Players Who Deployed Within the Winning GOTM!

🌱 Plan Ahead for GOTM Glory!

We know how much effort and creativity goes into designing amazing gardens, and we want to give you a head start! With the themes for the rest of the year now revealed, you have plenty of time to plan your designs, gather the right Munzees, and even recruit friends and family to help fill out your vision. The best gardens often come together when players work together — so start brainstorming early and get those creative juices flowing! We can’t wait to see the incredible designs you come up with — and who knows, maybe one of them will take the top spot in a future GOTM!

💌 February 2026 Bonus Events Schedule 📆

February is shaping up to be a month driven by your voice! Earlier this week, we kicked off a Bonus Events Poll using Community Credits, giving players the chance to help shape how future bonus events roll out. While we’re actively gathering your feedback and insights from that poll, we didn’t want to leave you waiting on what’s coming up next — so we’re sharing February’s Bonus Events now to give everyone plenty of time to plan ahead. (And don’t worry — the results from the poll will help guide bonus events in the months to come!)

This February, we’re sticking with a fan-favorite format and testing something brand new. You’ll still get two weekends of double points to fuel those big capping sessions, but we’re also introducing two themed bonus days throughout the month:

🤖 Mech Monday — deploy double the Mechz on Mondays!
⭐ Widdl Wednesday — deploy double the Widdlz on Wednesdays!

Don’t forget to RSVP to any nearby Munzee Events, and read on below for the full schedule and details.

🏰🏺 Sir Ramic Makes Medieval Mech Dad #3! 🤖👨‍🍼

Deep in the the enchanted groves, a new band of mechz is gathering outside of work hours—the Dads of Sirwood Forest! These Middle-Aged Mechanical Medieval Fathers may crack groan-inducing dad jokes, but don’t be fooled—their courage (and questionable hobbies) make them a force to be reckoned with. Last time, you met Sir Loin — read on to find out about the next merry mech!

NEW Mech Details

The 3rd in this new line of Mechz is Sir Ramic, a dad whose calm and comforting presence is contagious! His Pa-tter’s Wheel is hypnotic, creating an image of a beautiful sunset as it spins. Add this noble knight to your company HERE!

Sir Ramic
Points
  • Deploy: 500
  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 100
  • Archives after 5 caps
    • Overworked (Crushed) Capture: 500
    • Overworked (Crushed) CapOn: 100
    • 7 Cogs to Rebuild
Landing Pads

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

When Sir Ramic is captured, it will scatter up to 3 Pa-tter’s Wheels on the Mech owner’s account.

Pa-tter’s Wheel
Points
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 25-30

These scatters will be visible to any player and expire after 120 minutes. They have a capture radius of 300 feet. Since they are passive deploys, these scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity.

Badges

As with other Munzee Mechz, the badge for deploying Sir Ramic depicts the Blueprints, and is shown below:

For those who capture Sir Ramic, a badge awaits. As there’s just one badge in this category, we’ll keep it secret, for now.

We hope these dad joke-inspired game pieces elicited a chuckle — or at the very least, a groan — or two!

Munzee on!

🎯 Capture on the Move: VAC Now Live for Everyone 🚀

Back in November, we introduced the CapOn Booster, and shortly after we soft-launched something we knew many of you were eagerly waiting for: the Virtual Auto Capture Booster (VAC). At the time, it was available only to ZeeQRew Members as an open beta so we could test it in the wild, gather feedback, and squash any unexpected bugs.

Today, the VAC is officially launching for everyone! That means all players can now take advantage of safer, smoother capturing while jogging, biking, walking, commuting, or moving along any route where you want to keep your momentum going.

If you missed the earlier announcement (or want the full deep-dive with screenshots), check out the original blog here for all the details: Virtual Auto Capture Booster Soft Launch (Original Blog). This post is the official “it’s live” announcement, plus a reminder of how it works and what we still want you to report back to us.

🎉 The VAC Is Live For Everyone

The Virtual Auto Capture Booster is now available to all players in the Freeze Tag Store, and it can be activated any time from your Inventory just like other boosters. Purchase it online HERE: https://store.freezetag.com/collections/boosters

  • Get 1 VAC Booster for $1.25 each – HERE
  • Get 50 VAC Boosters for $1.10 each – HERE
  • Get 100 VAC Boosters for $1 each – HERE

We are still actively looking for feedback as more players use it across different devices, operating systems, travel speeds, and play styles. If you notice anything odd, inconsistent, or confusing, please let us know (details on how to report are below).

🎯 What Does the Virtual Auto Capture Booster Do?

The Virtual Auto Capture Booster (VAC) is designed for players who want to capture virtual munzees while moving without needing to stop and tap constantly. When activated, this booster captures all virtual munzees you move within range of for the next 30 minutes or until 100 munzees are captured, whichever comes first.

To activate it: go to your Profile > Inventory > Boosters and select the Virtual Auto Capture Booster.

*Shooting Stars are the only exclusions at the time of this launch.

👀 What You’ll See While It’s Running

When you have a Virtual Auto Capture Booster active, it will show a gold radius circle indicating the area where it can potentially capture munzees.

As you move, munzees captured with the booster will change to show the booster icon to indicate that it is being captured, similar to the bomb icons when blasting. It’s especially satisfying when you cruise through an area packed with munzees and watch the captures roll in!

💡 Pro Tip: Know Before You Go!

Because this booster behaves differently than most other boosters, here are a few important reminders before you hit the road:

  • Your mileage may vary depending on how quickly you’re moving and how consistently your device reports location updates.
  • This booster WILL use up more of your device’s power since it can run while you’re moving and monitoring your location.
  • This booster WILL capture bouncer destinations so DO NOT deploy any while you have it running, otherwise it can be captured immediately after you deploy it, possibly with 0 bouncers inside.

⚠️ Important Reminder About Background Use

PLEASE NOTE: The VAC may behave differently depending on your device settings, battery optimization, and background activity permissions. For best results, make sure the Munzee app is allowed to run in the background, and do not force close the app. The app must remain “on” for the VAC to continue working in the background.

If you notice missed captures while the app is closed/backgrounded, or any odd behavior when using VAC alongside other boosters (such as Capture Radius Booster), please report it to us.

📝 We Still Want Your Feedback

This is the official launch, but your reports are still incredibly helpful. If you run into issues (or discover tips that help other players), please share them with us! Helpful details include:

  • Your device model and OS version
  • Whether the app was open, backgrounded, or fully closed
  • Whether battery saver/low power mode was enabled
  • Any other boosters you had running at the same time
  • Your approximate travel speed (walking/jogging/biking/driving)
  • What you expected to happen vs what actually happened

You can report issues through our usual support channels, and we’ll keep refining the experience as more data comes in.

It’s time for the next Community Credits voting round, and after your great feedback in our last vote, this one is all about BONUS EVENTS!

  • Bonus Event Types – Which kinds of bonus events you love most (and which you’d rather not see again)

  • Bonus Event Days – When you prefer bonus events to happen

  • Bonus Event Frequency – How often bonus events should run throughout the month

Your upvotes and downvotes across all three polls will help us find the sweet spot for future bonus events that feel exciting, rewarding, and well-timed.

🧊 The Map Has Gone Cold!

Just when things seemed calm again, a bitter chill has crept across the map! In the aftermath of Trapador’s defeat during the ADVENTure Mailbox, strange icy anomalies have begun to surface. Certain Munzee types are now frozen solid, trapped by a Frigid Curse that appears to be spreading through clusters of chilling Wisps. Was this a final retaliatory strike, or an unexpected consequence of disrupting his plans? Whatever the cause, the cold is tightening its grip. Bundle up and take action — capture Frigid Munzees, clear out the Frigid Wisps, and help thaw the map before this deep freeze becomes permanent!

Frigid Munzees

So far, only the Greenie and Virtual Rainbow Munzees have been caught in the deep freeze, their once-familiar forms now locked beneath layers of ice. You can spot their frosty transformation below. Don’t let their chilly appearance fool you though — even if you’ve captured these Munzees before, thawing out these Frigid versions will earn you a brand new cap!

But the frost fight is far from over. As the Frigid Curse continues to spread, new Munzee types will be frozen each week, so keep your eyes peeled for clues pointing to what might be next. Move fast and help thaw the map while you can — all Frigid Munzees will melt away and leave the map on Saturday, January 31st at 23:59 MHQ.

Frigid Greenie Frigid Virtual Rainbow
Points Points
  • Capture: 60
  • CapOn: 3
  • Capture: 40
  • CapOn: 3

These Frigid Munzees are FlashMOBs just like the Cursed Munzees from previous events. This means that the Cursed Munzees are actually a “mask” applied on top of a host munzee: similar to a bouncing munzee, but once capped, they do NOT bounce anywhere else. You have “removed” the mask. All Greenies and Virtual Rainbows will have these new types placed on top of them – only the first to capture on each type will be able to get these Cursed Munzees! So hurry and rush to capture them before others do!

Special Scatter Details

Upon cleansing a Frigid Munzee via capture, up to 3 Frigid Wisps will materialize nearby. This is the curse’s final defense mechanism — if it can’t stay on its original host, it will attempt to spread nearby via Wisps, like a nasty infection. Cap them to keep the map clean!

Frigid Wisp
Points
  • Capture: 10

Badges

Thawing the map and clearing out the Frigid Curse won’t be an easy task, so Cappy has prepared two special badges to recognize the most determined cappers!

The first badge, shown below, is awarded for capturing at least 10 Frigid Wisps and helping push back the icy spread:

One badge is revealed, but the other is still on ice — stay sharp as the frost fight continues!

The frost is spreading, but the thaw starts with you! Jump in, capture Frigid Munzees, and help reclaim the map before the cold settles in for good.

Munzee on!
