December 2015 MunzPak News

Christmas Generics:

There was some confusion regarding items in the December MunzPak. Included in this MunzPak were 5 Christmas-themed generics. When you deploy all 5 of these, you will receive the Merry MunzPak badge as a thank you for being a subscriber and growing the map! If you’ve deployed all 5 and haven’t gotten the badge, or if you have an issue, please contact us at orders@munzee.com.

MunzPak Emails:

If you have, at any point, unsubscribed from any Munzee emails using the “Unsubscribe” button at the bottom of them, you will NOT receive emails from us any longer. If you wish to resubscribe, or if you haven’t been getting emails but have never unsubscribed, please contact us.

A Thank You Gift:

We’re always trying to find ways to thank our players for supporting and growing the game. As a thank you for being a MunzPak subscriber, we’re going to have an exclusive 2X Point Weekend! If you have a MunzPak order process during the month of December, you will be awarded double points between January 15, 2016 at 00:01 through January 17, 2016 at 23:59 MHQ time. This applies to orders that have already been processed this month and any orders placed before the end of the month. If you’ve already gotten your MunzPak this month, great! You’ll receive an email early next month with more information regarding the 2X Point Weekend. If you aren’t a MunzPak subscriber and would like to join, just go here and subscribe!

Christmas Parties Are In Full Swing!

We’re halfway through the month of December, and the Munzee Christmas Parties are in full swing! Rob, Matt, Louise, Daniel Hammock, and Daniel Fischer have all attended events already this month! Matt will also be attending the Metro Vancouver Post Holiday Cap’ing event on December 27th, and he’s excited!

In less than two weeks, 1140 players have capped the Father Christmas special, and we have another 17 events happening worldwide in the next 7 days! We can’t wait to see the outcome of them! Also, if you haven’t checked it out yet, the Dodgy Jumper gallery is live! We’re adding more images as we get them, so check it out!

These events have given us some crazy capture numbers, too! Matt stopped by the office around 3PM MHQ time on Saturday, and there were over 103,000 captures! We want to thank everyone who has hosted and/or attended an event for growing the game!

It’s Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Christmas…Kind Of

RobTreeIt’s December, and we’re getting into the Christmas spirit here at MHQ. We’ve got a slight problem, though. We’ve got two Christmas trees with no ornaments, and we need your help! If you’d like to participate, download this ornament template, fill it in with your design, and email it back to us! We’ll print them out, and on December 21st, we’ll show off our decorated trees!

Please email your completed designs you iloveyou@munzee.com with the subject “Christmas Tree Ornaments” so we can keep track of them all!

The Christmas Parties Are Beginning!

So here we are, it’s December! The Munzee Christmas Parties start tomorrow. We are very excited about everything planned. What a fantastic Munzee Community we have. There are 24 events just in the next 7 days! Don’t forget to check the calendar at https://calendar.munzee.com/ to see if there is one near you! If there isn’t, don’t worry, it’s not too late to host one yourself. Add it to the calendar or contact me directly at louise@munzee.com if you are having difficulties.

I have some important information relating to some of the features of the Christmas Parties, these two points are for all attendees to all parties:

  • Be sure to capture the Event Indicator Munzee at the event you attend. Your host has the code. This not only gives you the Event Indicator special icon, it will also give you the Christmas Party Attendee badge and a little surprise from Father Christmas.
  • Be sure to wear your best festive gear if you would like a chance at winning the Dodgy Jumper competition. Hosts will be submitting a player name and photo after the event. That player and the hosts will get the Dodgy Jumper badge. Hosts: just because you will be getting the badge for nominating someone else doesn’t mean you don’t have to make an effort!

Most events have taken the Lucky Dip option. This is a $20 add on that turns a specified Munzee into a magic Munzee that gives a credit item from the past, present or future every time it is capped. If you would like to add this to your event, please let me know ASAP.

Lastly, I would like to thank you all for your support with events. Your enthusiasm and efforts involved in them as hosts and attendees is fantastic and I look forward to growing the game, the map and the community even more with you all. Have a wonderful time this month and I can’t wait to hear all about it and see all those dodgy pictures!!

Cheers and Merry Christmas, Louise x

Weekend Update

Hello everyone. This is just a quick update to let you know our plans for Monday. Due to the holidays and the weekend we have not had the chance to confirm all items in time for 10am MHQ sales. We will delay the sales until ~3pm MHQ time which allows most players worldwide a better timing and opportunity. Thank you for understanding as we’ve made several changes over the past several days.
Additional information will be available prior to 3pm tomorrow. The goal is 10-11am for an informational post about Cyber Munzday sales. My current thoughts are sale prices on many current items, the release of the limited edition unicorn munzee (hard programmed to only award 1 per account), and the release of the surprise munzee. Surprise munzee will only be available after more conversations in the morning if it is ready to launch fully. Other items may be included or removed based on our ability to provide the best quality and service.
Thanks again for your patience and I hope you enjoyed the prizes the past few days. We are thankful for everyone who plays Munzee. The prizes end at 10am MHQ time Monday. — Rob

Updates and Changes

This information supersedes all previous blog posts and information. First, my apologies in advance for lack of detail and information regarding the virtual trail credits released in the store today. This product is removed from the store and on hold until Monday. We will provide more information before that time. For those who purchased the virtual trail credits already they are still in your account. If you use them they are yours. If you would like to exchange/return them after our announcement Monday we will work with each of you. Thank you in advance for understanding.

The rest of the weekend sales have been postponed until we are 100% certain everything goes perfectly. On Monday we will have one sale with many products including the new Surprise Munzee. Please stay tuned for a future blog post with details about the Surprise Munzee and the items/prices for sales.

We, Team Munzee, want to get back to the core of this week and this season. Being Thankful. We are beyond thankful for all of you. You give our servers a workout. You grow the game. You grow the map. Without you there is no game, just a bunch of QR codes waving at passers-by. We’ve given away a few prizes already this week, and thanked premium members with new items and a discount. We CAN do better. SO, we’ve decided to really crank up the prize machine to award more prizes than ever before when you capture munzees (starting NOW). *Social captures are excluded. It will award diamonds, rubies, aquamarines, motels, hotels, and the brand new Virtual Trail credits. This will end Monday morning at 10am MHQ time, when the sale begins.

I would like to assure you, we continue to strive for open communication, perfection in gameplay, and the best game available on the market. We will continue to innovate and build a thriving community. I can’t wait for you to hear our theme for 2016. You will feel the love, as I hope you do today. As always I appreciate each of you for taking the time to read this and playing our game.  Grow the map! — Rob on behalf of Team Munzee

Personal Munzees Purchased at MHQ Bash

Hey Everybody,

Late last week, we learned of a problem with the Personal Munzee badges purchased at MHQ Bash (through both ticket package and at the event store). Monday, we learned that the issue was with the badge provider and that they could not be fixed remotely. The bad news is that these Personal Munzee badges are no longer valid. The good news is that we are aware of the problem and will be shipping you new badges.

If You Bought A Ticket Package That Included A Personal Munzee: You’re all set. Your information is on file, and we will be shipping you a new Personal Munzee badge as soon as we can.

If You Bought A Personal Munzee Badge At The Store During MHQ Bash 2015: Please email orders@munzee.com with a picture of your badge. Please include your Munzee username and an address that we can ship your new badge to.

We sincerely apologize for this. We take pride in our work and the services/products we provide, and errors like this are inexcusable.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best,
Matt

P.S.- Giveaways for captures have been extended through Wednesday, November 25th.

Holiday Season Plans

Well, the holiday season is upon us. For the MHQ team, that means a lot of travelling. Below is a list of events you should be aware of.

American Thanksgiving

  • The MHQ staff (including Rob) will be out of the office from Wednesday, November 25th through Sunday, November 29th. That means Flat Robs will be back on the map during those days!

Christmas Parties

  • The amount of Christmas parties on the schedule is amazing, and we can’t wait to see the results of them! Rob and Matt will be travelling to events during December.
    • Rob will  be attending “Capping the Coast” during the first weekend of December! If you’re in the Florida area,or just want to have a good time, make sure you join!
    • Matt will be attending “Metro Vancouver Post Holiday Cap’ing” on December 27th. It’s the first official Munzee visit to Vancouver, so if you’re in the Pacific Northwest and can make it, he’d love to meet you all!

Christmas and New Year’s Plans

  • MHQ staff will be out of the office for some days during December to spend time with their families for Christmas and the new year. We’ll provide more details about those dates (and when you’ll be able to catch Flat Rob on the map again) as we get closer.

Remember, it’s Cyber Munzweek! Make sure you’re up to date with all of the events going on by checking out our previous blog post, and get in on the action!
