Introducing the NEW Munzee Logo!

We are proud to announce that alongside the release of Munzee 4.0 beta, we are officially launching an all new Munzee logo.

For seven years the Munzee logo has continued to evolve, but much like the game itself the focus has always been on the Greenie icon. Greenies are the backbone of the Munzee gameplay experience. These pins bridge the gap between our real world gaming arena and the technology that makes it happen. The Munzee logo holds a place in the hearts of many of our players, and certainly of our team. We all wear it like a badge of honor on stickers, patches, and shirts across the world. This new version is simply an evolution of the concept that has brought us all together.

The new logo features a new font and perhaps most notably an updated version of the pin icon. We have replaced the traditional rounded GPS pin with a square design, which is modeled after our QR code game pieces. The new icon represents a merger of the QR code and GPS pin. As two individual icons these represent key functions of Munzee’s gameplay; together these represent the game itself.

The redesign of the Munzee pin icon also represents a practical gameplay function. In the newest version of the app all in-game munzee designs have been changed to reflect the difference between physical and virtual munzees. Moving forward, all physical munzees will be represented by square icons to signify that they are QR code stickers players can locate in the real world. All virtual munzees will retain the rounded pin shape and feature a prominent “V” marking.

Many of you may be asking, why change what works? Why mess with a symbol the community has gathered behind for years? We’re happy you asked. The decision to redesign the logo, in part, was based around the merger of Munzee Inc. and Freeze Tag Games last October. The previous version doubled as a logo for both the game of Munzee and the company that developed it.

When a brand tries to identify as both a company and a game, it becomes difficult to balance the professionalism of the business with the creativity of the gameplay experience. After the merger we were very aware of the need to focus on the Munzee brand and define what that means. Our hope is that this new logo embodies the adventure, discovery and whimsical experience of playing Munzee.

We want you to show your pride in Munzee’s past, present and future so new Apparel and Personal Tags are NOW AVAILABLE in the Freeze Tag Online Store! The new collection includes shirts, hats and more featuring the new logo, but new designs will also be released at launch of the 4.0 app as well.

You can find the new collection HERE: https://bit.ly/2COWs0i

Our purpose in announcing the new logo now is so we can have everything prepared by the time the new app launches. You’ll see the new logo begin to rollout to the website over time as we get closer to the public release of the app. All of the new logo and pin shapes will not be available on version 3, so stay tuned for more info regarding 4.0’s release soon! Selected Beta testers will be notified shortly regarding how to begin the download process, so bear with us as we begin that rollout.

We’re very excited for what is just the beginning of a slew of updates that will enhance your gameplay experience unlike ever before! Rob also mentioned something about a Greenie point update at the end of his announcement video… more news soon? Munzee on!

Announcing Retired Account Physical Munzee Archival

In our continued effort to expand opportunities to new players, and keep the map full of Munzees that can be captured, we will be taking the next steps in inactive account archival. Starting at 00:01 September 17, 2018 we will begin archiving some physical munzees for all accounts with no activity in the past 720 days. These accounts will now be considered “Retired” unless there is some sort of activity between now and the 17th.

The physical munzees that will be archived are those created by individual players, not official MHQ stickers with generic codes, with no activity in the past 180 days. If you would like to keep munzees active in your area please cap them before this time. The purpose of this initiative is to open up spots for new players to deploy and also to uphold maintenance on game pieces that may be missing or have been weathered down. This ideally should help with bouncing specials, Myths and Nomads as well.

We will also make Recycles active Thursday September 13 at 10:00 MHQ through Saturday September 15 at 10:00 MHQ. This will better help you see old munzees in risk of being archived. We do not want to keep Recycles active the entire weekend though, so you can still get the munzees in Jewel form if you would like for September Clan Wars requirements.

Thank you all for your support! We look forward to new and current players alike being able to take advantage of this change. Munzee on!

These are all physical munzees that will be shipped to you. $28-$40 value depending on which random jewels are received.

These aqua credits are added immediately so you can deploy them while you are waiting for your stickers to arrive!
*You must add this Nomad Pak and 2 aquamarine credits to your cart before using the code to have the discount applied.

As always we appreciate all of you for growing the game and hope this updated Nomad Pak will also help you Grow the Map!

Munzee On!

Bacon Day 2018 Specials and Evolution Munzee Point Increase!

Are you ready to celebrate six degrees of Bacon? We’re excited to announce that from 00:01 MHQ on August 28th until 23:59 MHQ on September 2nd all manner of pork product Specials will be bouncing around the map!

If you happened to be playing Munzee in 2013 you might remember our first Bacon Day special, but this time around we’re switching things up a bit. For instance, did you know that Bacon is different in other parts of the globe? In order to appeal to bacon lovers across the world we will have two physical specials:

888 “American-style” Bacon Specials will bounce* on Greenies every 6 hours or when captured. These sizzling specials will be attracted to physical Munzee Magnets and you’ll earn 45 points for Capture and 45 points for CapOn.

999 “International-style” Bacon Specials will bounce* on Greenies and Premium Munzees every 6 hours or when captured. These slightly different slices of bacon will be attracted to physical Munzee Magnets on Greenies and you’ll earn 40 points for Capture and 40 points for CapOn.

*Please note that both American and International Bacon Specials will bounce worldwide and will not be limited to specific regions.

In additions to the precious pork products there will also be 777 Flying Pig Virtual Specials floating to MVMs every 6 hours or when captured. These soaring swine specials will be attracted to Virtual Munzee Magnets and you’ll earn 50 points for Capture and 50 points for CapOn.

Per usual there are a variety of badges you can earn for capturing Bacon Day Specials and these will also count toward the Specials Badges. There are a total of six badges you can earn throughout the allotted Specials timeframe. We’ll show you the three for capping each of the different Special types, but you’ll have to discover the the other three yourselves!

: Patriotic Pork- Capture at least one American Bacon Day Special.

: Global Grub- Capture at least one International Bacon Day Special.

: Soaring Swine- Capture at least one Flying Pig Bacon Day Special.

We also have some new sets of porky Personal Tags available in the Freeze Tag Online Store. Per usual these are in limited quantity so get yours before they run out!

Please note that these Bacon Day Specials are different than the Pig Evolution Munzee line from the Farm Set, which also includes a Bacon level. We’re celebrating all forms of Bacon though, so we’re excited to announce that we’re updating the points on ALL Evolution Munzees as well! The point increase will go live at the same time the specials do and is for all Physical and Virtual Evos except the Golden Carrot, which was already increased earlier this month.

The new points will be as follows:

Level 1:
Deploy: 20
Cap: 20
CapOn: 10

Level 2:
Deploy: N/A
Cap: 35
CapOn: 20

Level 3:
Deploy: N/A
Cap: 50
CapOn: 30

That’s not all though! In connection to the point increase we will also reset ALL Evolution Munzees back to Level One. Please note that this will not allow other players to re-cap these munzees again, but the earlier stages will be available to players who have not capped that particular stage. The reset will go live with the point increase at 00:01 MHQ on August 28th as well.

So if you’ve stockpiled Evos, now is the time to get those deployed! Sticking to the theme we’d suggest capping and deploying a handful of Farm Set Evos if you have them. To help out we’ve also put together some Evo Packs which are available in the Freeze Tag Online Store.

Farm Set Evolution Sticker Pack: Random 10 count for $12.50- Discounted from $17.50
Virtual Evolution Pack: 9 count for $17.50- Discounted from $22.50

We hope you enjoy these sizzling Specials while they last! Try and keep your cholesterol down and as always, Munzee On!

Announcing World Photo Day Specials!

Say cheese!

We’re excited to announce new Camera Specials in celebration of World Photo Day on Sunday August 19! The Specials will be on the map starting August 17 at 00:01 MHQ and will last until August 20 at 23:59 MHQ.

2,009 Camera Specials will bounce on Greenies and Premium Munzees every 6 hours or when captured. The Camera Specials will also be attracted to Magnets on greenies. Players will be able to capture these on their own Greenies and Premium Munzees as well.

Points:

Capture: 100
CapOn: 20 on Greenie
CapOn: 70 on Premium

Per usual there will be a badge for capping one of the specials, but you never know what other badges you could earn. Since these are CAMERA specials there will also be another special badge you can earn by uploading pictures to munzees throughout the weekend. Remember that placing pictures on munzees is a Premium feature, so this badge will only be able to be earned if you have a Premium Membership.

: World Photo Day 2018- Capture at least one World Photo Day Camera Special.

: Friendly Photos- Upload photos on 10 munzees during World Photo Day weekend.

You can purchase a Premium Membership and Magnets in the Freeze Tag Online Store. We also have a limited number of World Photo Day Personal Tags in the store as well.

What would World Photo Day be without photos though? We want to see your best Munzee photos throughout the weekend on social media. Upload photos you take when playing Munzee using #WorldPhotoDay and #MunzeeOn to be eligible. One winners will be chosen from each of our three social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and awarded those prizes by the end of next week. We will also have prizes for three photos placed on munzees in the app through the weekend. These winners will also be chosen by the end of next week.

We hope you’re ready to strike a pose! Get out and document your adventures as you Munzee on!

Letter From Zee Prez

Howdy Munzeers!

It’s time for a quick update on the overall progress and direction of Munzee! Over the past few months we’ve made some changes to the game and been working behind the scenes on a new version of the app. While I don’t have all of the details to share with you today I’d like to give you some information to help you know where we are headed.

As we move toward the 4.0 version of the Munzee app we are preparing many things behind the scenes. One of those is a much needed update to the point structure. In the beginning there was one type of Munzee, affectionately nicknamed the greenie. Other types were added over time with each becoming more and more valuable. The greenie sat in the shadows even though it is the cornerstone to the game. I want you to know that we have a plan for greenie points and it’s going to be rolled out soon. We love the greenie as much as you do and want to return the cornerstone to it’s place in the sun! In the meantime we will continue to update the point structure of many other types. You may notice the majority of point updates have happened to physical Munzee types. There is a purpose behind that as we know physical gameplay accomplishes our goals to get people active and moving. You will see us continue to drive the physical portion of the game forward since it is the majority of deploys worldwide, and always will be. Thanks for your patience during this big point update project.

Munzee 4.0 is a very large project as well. We aren’t quite ready to put it in the hands of beta testers yet, but we are feeling good about the progress through our alpha testing recently. The app is getting a complete makeover while the functionality you’ve come to expect will remain intact. The core gameplay is our focus while we also cleanup many side menus and organize features in a better way. We think you’re really going to enjoy it and can’t wait to get it out there in the field being tested. Stay tuned for more updates including information about beta testing and changes before the full launch of version 4.0.

I hope you’ve been participating in the variety of ways Munzee offers through gameplay options. We have events put on by players all of the world. Participate in Clan wars and join a group of 10 worldwide players to compete monthly in order to try and reach goals and win prizes. Recruiting for monthly clan wars is open on the 1st and 2nd of each month. You can also challenge yourself to complete our daily and weekly ZeeOps to earn prizes. We have plans to continue updating and evolving each of these interactive styles of gameplay after 4.0 launches and we can focus on each individually.

There are portions of the game you may think we’ve forgotten about, but believe me when I say that we have not. Munzee is huge and an intricate tapestry so we have to work on it one piece at a time currently! Remember our theme for the year? The Time Is Now! We remember and we’re working hard every day to make updates and keep things fresh. Please help us by growing the game and growing the map! The future of Munzee is so bright and we have so many great things in store. We can’t do any of this without our amazing Munzee community and we remember that fact daily. You are our focus.

Please contact us with questions, suggestions, and issues. My apologies if we don’t respond to every suggestion because we receive so many that we are really working on. The great ones might even make it into the game! I look forward to meeting some of you at upcoming events and interacting with others online!

Munzee On!

Munzee President and Chief Zee Officer 😉
