Update! Swap-Ability Made Available for Certain Physicals!
Do you have an overwhelming amount of munzee credits? What if you had the ability to use a credit to “swap” or “replace from a distance” certain munzees? What if this was no longer a “what if” question, but a reality? Well, starting today at 15:00 MHQ time, you will indeed have the opportunity to swap a number of currently deployed physical munzees with a credit you already have!
Before we explain, let’s tell you WHY for those who don’t like to read to the bottom of blog posts! 😉
- Refresh the physical map in any area you choose without needing to archive first and wait 7 days
- Use credits you have accumulated but don’t have a good use for
- Earn a new deploy for the day
- Earn more captures from the locals in any area you refresh (there will be much rejoicing!)
- Keep the CapOns flowing in places with large groups of regular players
And now the details for those who care to read on (we recommend you do). Any currently deployed physical munzee of the types below, that already contain a generic code, will now be swappable! There are two options for swapping a munzee: swapping like for like or choosing between a field of options. The ability has been indicated below. As always, you can shop for all of your Munzee needs at the Freeze Tag Online Store. Just remember that what’s in stock is constantly rotating, but to make things easy, you can access the available “Swap-Ability Collection” here!
Ability to Swap Like for Like:
- Motel Munzee (only able to swap a new Destination credit)
- Hotel Munzee (only able to swap a new Hotel credit)
This means that you are able to swap out any currently deployed physical Motel Munzee with a brand new Motel Munzee credit, or any currently deployed physical Hotel Munzee with a brand new Hotel Munzee credit. You can shop the Destination Munzee collection to pick up Motel and Hotel credits as needed.
Ability to Swap Within List:
- Jewel Munzees
- Clan Weapon Munzees
- Rock Paper Scissor (RPS) Munzee
- Premium Munzee
- Scatter Munzee
- Zodiac Munzee (Western only at launch)
- Briefcase Munzee
This means that players can swap any currently deployed physical munzee on the list with any one of the physical munzee options on the list. For example, you can swap a currently deployed Briefcase Munzee with a new Scatter Munzee credit or any existing Jewel Munzee with any Clan Weapon Munzee credit. A mace for a diamond, an RPS becomes a premium, a ruby for a Hammer, etc.! The choice is yours!
How to Swap
This new feature for certain physical munzees is available online only. Only munzees with a generic code can be swapped. The first thing you will need to do to swap out physical munzees is to log into your munzee account.
One you’ve logged in, select the “Deployed” button/tab.
This will bring you to a list of all the munzees that you have deployed. Select which munzee you wish to swap out by clicking on the munzee name. Maybe even use the “filter by type” option to select a munzee type that qualifies for the swap.
Once you click on the munzee, you will be presented with the following options. In order to swap out your physical munzees, select the “Edit Munzee” option.
Under the section “Replace Missing Munzee,” you will notice a new option to “Swap Out Munzee.” Selecting this option will allow you to choose which type of munzee you will be swapping to.
You can then select which type of munzee you wish to swap for. The available options have been indicated earlier in this blog post. Keep in mind that Hotels and Motels can only be swapped like for like.
Be sure to verify which munzees you want to swap. Confirming the swap will archive the original munzee* and deploy a brand new munzee of the type you have selected. The new munzee will have the same name and notes so update those if necessary.
Why Swap?
Currently players are already able to make certain virtual swaps. Many virtual types can be swapped, with the exception of Resort Munzees, Virtual Emerald Munzees, Virtual Trail Munzees, Air Mystery Munzees, and Temporary Virtual Munzees. That means that the following virtual munzees can be swapped.
- Amethyst Munzees
- Sapphire Munzees
- Virtual Munzees
- Surprise Munzees
- All Flats Munzees
- Crossbow Munzees
- Catapult Munzees
- Night Vision Goggles Munzees
This brand new “swap-ability” feature for certain physicals allows players to do several things which we think:
- Refresh the physical map in any area you choose without needing to archive first and wait 7 days
- Use credits you have accumulated but don’t have a good use for
- Earn a new deploy for the day
- Earn more captures from the locals in any area you refresh (there will be much rejoicing!)
- Keep the CapOns flowing in places with large groups of regular players
What do you think of this latest gameplay ability? Do you already have some munzee swaps in mind? Interested in an example from Rob’s account? You can see he updated the notes to remember the previous deploy.
Get creative, and Munzee on!
*Any munzee archived via the Swap feature will not lose points or deploy day credit (for streak purposes) UNLESS it has 0 caps.
