There will now be three new badges that players can earn for earning 8th place on the three daily leaderboards. These badges are not retroactive, but you’ll be able to earn them starting today! That means if you end the day in 8th place on the Virtual, Physical, or Overall Daily Leaderboard, you’ll be able to earn these respective badges:

Cur8or– Earn 8th place on the Virtual Daily Leaderboard

Jump for Joystick Munzees! Triple the Fun!

We have a special announcement for MunzPak subscribers, as the July MunzPak will feature the brand new Joystick Munzees! This MunzPak exclusive will be available in some version in all three MunzPak subscriptions, which you can order in the Freeze Tag Online Store beginning on July 1 at 00:01 MHQ time. (Remember if you order a MunzPak before then, you will be ordering the June one!) Now let’s see why these brand new munzees have us jumping for joy…

Joystick Munzees

This new munzee type is based on throwback video game specials from over the years. Joystick Munzees come in both physical and virtual forms, though both forms work similarly and are worth the same point values. When you capture a Joystick Munzee, three of one retro game icon (either Runzee Rob, Leap Frog, or Munch-Man) will scatter to Greenies within 1500 feet. These munzees will stay on the map for 3 hours or when captured.

The point values for the Joystick Munzees are as follows:

Points 

  • Cap: 88
  • CapOn: 19
  • Deploy: 80

Virtual Joystick Munzees are not blastable. To access these munzees, turn on the Mini Games physical filter and the Others virtual filter. You can access the scatters under the Expiring Specials filter. Their proximity will be 150 feet from any other virtual Joystick if deploying a virtual, or 150 feet from any other physical Joystick if deploying a physical.

Retro Games

Capping a Joystick Munzee will cause three Runzee Rob, Leap Frog, or Munch-Man physical munzees to scatter to Greenies within 1500 feet. These retro games have an added layer of fun all of their own! Once the retro game icon is capped between 1 and 3 new virtuals will be deployed within 700 feet of the retro game icon. These virtuals will be different based on what game icon is capped.

You have to be within 150 ft to capture the various game virtuals, and these can only be seen by the person who capped the retro game icon, similar to Infrared Munzees. Retro game virtuals will disappear after 2 hours or when capped. You can learn more about the three retro games and their unique virtuals below!

Runzee Rob Munzee

When you cap a Runzee Rob, up to three (1-3 random) new virtual “Gold Coinz” will be deployed nearby, similar to an Air Mystery/Feather or Night Vision Goggles/Infrared Munzee. These Gold Coinz will only be visible to the player that capped the Runzee Rob and are available for 2 hours.

Points

  • Runzee Rob
    • Cap: 19-85 split with owner
    • CapOn: remainder of the 19-85 split
  • Gold Coin virtuals
    • Cap: 25 points (no CapOn)

Leap Frog

When you cap a Leap Frog, up to three (1-3 random) new virtual “Flyz” will be deployed similar to an Air Mystery/Feather or Night Vision Goggles/Infrared Munzee. These Flyz will only be visible to the player that capped the Leap Frog and are available for 2 hours.

Points

  • Leap Frog
    • Cap: 19-81 split with owner
    • CapOn: remainder of the 19-81 split
  • Fly virtuals
    • Cap: 29 points (no CapOn)

Munch-Man

When you cap a Munch-Man, up to three (1-3 random) new virtual “Ghostzees” will be deployed similar to an Air Mystery/Feather or Night Vision Goggles/Infrared Munzee. These Ghostzees will only be visible to the player that capped the Munch-Man and are available for 2 hours.

Points

  • Munch-Man
    • Cap: 19-80 split with owner (Pac-Man was released in 1980)
    • CapOn: remainder of the 19-80 split
  • Fly virtuals
    • Cap: 34 points (no CapOn)

Badges

A game within a game within a game! If these Joystick Munzees weren’t already exciting enough, there will also be badges! You can earn the following badge by deploying any Joystick Munzee:

Joystick 8500- Deploy 1 Joystick Munzee of any type.

There are also badges to earn for capturing each of the 3 retro games. The badges appear as follows:

Stay tuned to see if we expand this line of badges in the future, because though we might know the past, who knows what’s in store in time to come! Are you ready to get retro?! Be sure to subscribe to the July MunzPak to receive your Joystick Munzees for the chance to join in on the fun!

Munzee on!

You say tomato, I say Caprese salad! Just like Margherita pizza, this delicious Italian dish features the colors of the Italian flag for a simple yet endlessly satisfying dish.

July Resolutions Are Here!

While you still have a few days left in June to put your iced coffee money in your savings account for June Resolutions, we’re already looking to the future for our July Resolutions badge! From eating healthy to traveling more, our monthly Capture Streak badges have been centered around a year of personal improvement. As summer heats up on the Northern Hemisphere, this month we challenge players to lose weight (if you need to for your health)!

Even Santa is working on his “summer bod”

Each month’s unique badge is dedicated to accomplishing another New Year’s Resolution. Like our Super Streak badges, you will be awarded a badge if you capture at least one Munzee* each day for the entire month. The monthly Capture Streak badges allow for the chance to work towards a different goal each month in order to bring about a year of positive growth and change.

Losing Weight for Health

While folks on the Southern Hemisphere might be bundling up, the Northern Hemisphere is well into bathing suit season. And for many, the rise in temperature is accompanied by a heightened dissatisfaction with one’s physical appearance. Weight loss, however, shouldn’t be something that is appearance based. It might sound cheesy, but if you’re asking yourself “do I have a summer body?” the answer is “do you have a body?” If you say “yes,” then you’re all ready to hit the beach!

While it’s crucial to accept your body as is, that doesn’t mean that you can neglect your health. If your weight is impacting your health, then it’s time to lose weight the right way in order to feel better and increase your longevity. Rather than gravitate towards a fad diet or “lose weight quick” scheme, the two main components of weight loss are diet and exercise. The number one reason why diets fail is because they are unsustainable. By changing your lifestyle choices permanently, you will never again have to grapple with the disappointments of “yo-yo dieting.” Just be sure to find a healthy meal plan that works best for YOU.

While counting calories can lead to unhealthy behaviors, it is beneficial to be aware of factors such what you eat, how much you eat, when you eat, and how often you eat. Keeping a food journal, or tracking your food intake on one of the many helpful dieting apps, can help you become more aware of what you put into your body so that you can make more informed dining choices.

When it comes to staying active, the playing field is unfortunately not even. However, if you have underlying medical issues that are prohibiting weight loss, you can still set daily goals for yourself. We are so proud of how many players have achieved monumental fitness accomplishments, especially after many have shared their stories of chronic physical disabilities and illnesses that they refuse to allow to hold them back. Remember, the only person you have to compete with when it comes to fitness is yourself. Focus on personal growth rather than comparing yourself to others, and remember that health is always the goal.

Munzee on!

* In order to encourage active gameplay we will not count Social Munzees for these capture streaks. If you know you’ll be in an area without munzees, plan ahead!

Prepare to Feast with Sweden Global Grub!

Today we will be bringing you another tasty Global Grub addition in order to celebrate Constitution Day in Sweden! Sweden celebrates its National Day on June 6 in order to honor the day Gustav Vasa was crowned king, way back in 1523, which laid the foundation for Sweden’s independence, while in 1809 a new constitution was adopted for Sweden on the very same date. So it’s time to fill your plates for Sweden, because the Sweden Global Grub will be joining the map today at 15:00 MHQ time!

To mark the date, we will be deploying SIX virtual Sweden Global Grub Munzees. The Sweden Global Grub specials will bounce to regular virtuals and colored virtuals every 12 hours or when captured. This special will join a number of already released Global Grubs, including Mexico, China, and Thailand.

Points

  • Cap: 200
  • CapOn (Host): 100

Have you captured any Global Grub Munzees yet? Each Global Grub capture will earn you a special badge containing a dish of food that is unique to the flag pin country. Capturing a Sweden Global Grub special will award you the following tasty badge:

What better way to celebrate Sweden today than with a delicious raggmunk breakfast!? These potato pancakes are fried in butter for golden crisp perfection and served with a topping of lingonberries and a side of crunchy bacon. If you haven’t tried this delicious Swedish meal yet, then you are surely missing out!

Remember that you will have the rest of the year to capture the Global Grub specials before they leave the map on 12/31/2019 at 23:59 MHQ time. So don’t give up if you are yet to feast! We will also be releasing an overall capture line in the future, so stay tuned for more Global Grub updates. In the meantime, keep your appetites hearty!

Munzee on!

June Resolutions Badge Details

Our monthly Capture Streak badges have been centered around a year of personal improvement through highlighting different monthly resolutions. This month we’re challenging players to save money for the June Resolutions badge.

Each month’s unique badge is dedicated to accomplishing another New Year’s Resolution. Like our Super Streak badges, you will be awarded a badge if you capture at least one Munzee* each day for the entire month. The monthly Capture Streak badges allow for the chance to work towards a different goal each month in order to bring about a year of positive growth and change.

Tips for Saving

While some are naturally skilled in the art of restraint, others need more motivation to hold themselves back from bleeding their wallets dry. However, no matter how careless you might be with your spending, it is entirely possible to reverse your financial situation by adhering to ways to save money. To maximize your long-term profits, take advantage of interest when moving around bank account assets. Take inventory of the items you have accumulated over the years, and rather than continue to add to the collection, consider what you can sell. There’s a good chance you can profit from scarcely used items in your possession.

Instead of purchasing items when the mood strikes, carefully plan your shopping endeavors. Collect coupons, sign up for rewards programs, and stock up during seasonal sales. Purchase items in their off-season, and plan ahead for holiday shopping. For example, it will be far more cost effective to purchase winter apparel at the end of the cold season and save it for the next year if you know you’ll be needing a new coat in the future. Be thrifty with your spending, and don’t leave important purchases or gifts for the last minute. By planning ahead, you can secure the most desirable prices rather than shell out extra cash for a last minute need.

Stick to your shopping list, and restrain from impulse purchases. Decide which nights you want to go out, and stick to a set budget when you do so or plan social outings around discount nights. Take care of the items that you do have, and invest in high quality, long-lasting items rather than disposable trendy apparel. Be conscious of how much money you spend on take out and eating away from home and how often you waste electricity. Investing in smart appliances is a great way to lower bills and help the environment.

No, you won’t be able to take your money to the grave. But with life being so unpredictable, you never know when some extra savings could be your saving grace. Additionally, by abstaining from giving in to momentary purchases and whims, you can save your hard-earned money for things that matter, like visiting a faraway friend or relative or doing something that you’ve dreamed of. Avoid hardship down the line and open the possibility for more opportunities by being a bit more reserved with your spending.

Munzee on!

* In order to encourage active gameplay we will not count Social Munzees for these capture streaks. If you know you’ll be in an area without munzees, plan ahead!

FTC First Responders Badges Are Here!

Update: FTCs are only awarded for the Greenie host of a physical scatter type (Boulders, Retro Games, etc) if it wasn’t capped earlier. Only virtual scatter types like Feathers or Infrared Munzees count toward FTC badges.

Do you pride yourself in your ability to be the First to Capture (FTC) a munzee? Are you world renowned for your FTC abilities? Do you feel like this achievement is worthy of a bit more recognition? Well, we have new badges for you! We’ve put together an extension of our First Responder badge to honor First to Capture (FTC) on all Munzee types! This retroactive line of badges launches today at 10:00 MHQ time!

Never heard of FTC? First to Capture means that you are quite the vigilant player, because you are the first one to capture a munzee after it has been deployed! While these badges are retroactive, all current munzees with zero captures are waiting for you to earn your next (or first!) FTC! You can find the First Responder badges under the Capture category.

The First Responder badges count on ALL munzee types. That means that you just have to be the first to capture any munzee type to earn a FTC. However, these badges are very high numbered, so you will have to work extremely hard to earn the higher ones. The first badge in the series has been around for a while, so it might look familiar:

First Responder– Be the first to capture more than 100 munzees!

We weren’t exaggerating when we said that these badges are hard to earn! To help you out, we’ll also give you another badge to aspire to. The second badge in the First Responder series appears as follows:

Aerodynamic Responder– Be the first to capture more than 1,111 munzees!

There are five new badges in total, bringing the FTC First Responder badge line total to six. For help earning these badges, always check your local areas, because you never know when a new munzee will be deployed around you.

We hope you enjoy these new badges! Now it’s time to lace up your shoes or polish your wheels and be the first to the scene!

Happy hunting, and Munzee on!

Cinco de Mayo Means Mexico Global Grub!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo! It’s the annual day of celebrating the Mexican Army’s underdog victory over France way back in 1862, though the date is often confused in the United States with being Mexico’s Independence Day. We’re happy to set the record straight while offering another of our Global Grub specials, with Mexico Global Grub hitting the map today at 15:00 MHQ time!

This virtual Global Grub special will join the ranks of current Global Grub Munzees, including Thailand, Switzerland, Australia, and China. Five Mexico Global Grub Munzees will be deployed. They will be bouncing to regular virtuals and colored virtuals every 12 hours or when captured.

Points

Have you had the pleasure of capturing a Global Grub Munzee yet? Each time a Global Grub is capped, the player will earn a special badge containing a dish of food that is unique to the flag pin country. Capturing a Mexico Global Grub special will award you the following tasty badge:

Are you in the mood for a bowl of chili con carne? (We know we are!) This delicious dish offers a spicy meat stew brimming with chili peppers, tomatoes, beans, and plenty of spices. Toss in the garlic, onion, and cumin for a flavor punch! The good news is chili con carne is a very flexible dish, so feel free to tweak this hearty recipe to suit your personal preference!
