EXAMPLES: Capture 1 munzee, receive 1 activity point. Deploy 1 munzee, receive 1 activity point. (except socials)
1 Unicorn is a double activity – Unicorn cap and unicorn host cap. 1 full motel equals 6 activity points – 1 motel cap + 5 motel room caps. Many other examples are possible, but the rule of thumb is simple, if it shows in your capture/deploy list it is one activity point (except socials).

Yes, there are 31 days in the month, with 29 clan play days. We believe in you and know you can achieve based on the number of days in the month!

Player of the Week: Oliver Tausch

As Munzee has grown over the years, the game has evolved in so many more ways than any of the co-founders could have imagined. We’ve certainly had our fair share of growing pains, but in its essence Munzee has tried to stick to its core goal of getting people out into the world. No one knows this better than those players who have been with us since the beginning. This week’s Player of the Week is Oliver Tausch (tau).

Who are you?
I’m Oliver Tausch, but the Munzee community knows me as “tau”.

Where in the world do you live?
I live in Delbrueck, North Rhine-Westphalia, Good Old Germany, but my real Munzee homezone is Paderborn about 20km from my home.

How long have you played Munzee?
I signed up in July 2012.

How did you find Munzee?
I was on a job in Los Angeles with my coworker Piglett78. He already played a GPS-based game but got a hint from a friend to try out Munzee, so I did, too. On a Sunday, we had some free time and went to 1849’s homezone. It was the weekend H2OKLAN passed 100,000 points with a big event close by. It was unbelievable. I thought I would never get to 100k in my life. We were afraid of going to this event as we were absolute beginners. Piglett78 and I spent half a day on capping greenies. We searched for one for about an hour. A security person came by because we looked some kind of suspicious. We tried to explain what Munzee is all about, and finally we were allowed to continue our tour. At the end of the day, I reached the unbelievable amount of 175 points!! We felt like heroes and made it on the leaderboard the next day.

The next months, I deployed my first Munzees and found out that another player was living on the same street (PappaPad). I got in contact with him and some other players living in our area. When Clan Wars were introduced, we founded the “Team Delbrueck” Clan. Some time later, in October 2013, we won the battle with an all-time record of more than 800K points. In November, only one month later, Munzee launched the MVMs and our record was broken straight away. I wish Fitbit had been integrated at that time as we all probably reached the equivalent of several marathons that month to get that far. Capping was more or less reduced to physical codes those days. During this battle, we built up one of the biggest Mystery clusters in the world with more than 1200 physical Mysteries. It took us months of planning with lots of barbecues and beer to get it organized.

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
As I said, we started with only one clan. These days, I’m managing six clans with players from all over Germany and Switzerland. With every new battle, each player decides which level(s) he/she would like to go for, and I try to puzzle them into six teams. This give a high flexibility for everyone respecting the individual potential for each battle. We grew to a great community and most of the players have stayed with us for a very long time. Many of them I’ve met personally at events. I find this very exciting as their real faces always look differently than what you imagine is behind the Munzee name.

I love getting out and exploring cities all over the world “from a Munzee view”. Achieving the different battle levels pushes me forward. As I’ve spread my Munzees in many different countries, I like to see who caps them.

What is on your wish list?
The Clan Requirements should be published one or two days earlier. This would help people like me to manage their clans.

I would really like to see an official virtual garden in our Lippesee area. Nowadays, players from outside the big cities and Munzee hotspots need to travel a lot to get points and other advantages. In this case, people from big cities would need to come and visit us.

I also would like to see a virtual replacement of a physical munzee (special) which is in maintenance mode. As my munzees are spread all around the world, it is kind of hard to maintain. A virtual which adopts the type of the munzee in maintenance mode would be perfect.

Tell us about yourself!
Born in the “Summer of ’69”, I grew up and went to University of Paderborn. I have a beautiful wife and two kids, a thirteen-year-old daughter and a ten-year-old son. They both play Munzee, too, and my wife finally “got used to it”.

I’m a Master (Dip. Ing.) of electrical engineering and Director of Electrical Engineering and IT in a mid-size company in Delbrueck. My job makes me travel around the world frequently to meet customers and visit our agencies. That’s why I like Rovers are part of the Munzee game. Instead of hanging out in hotel bars, I try to go out and Munzee.

Other hobbies include:
Some years ago I used to be a semi-professional soccer player. Now I just play for fun and concentrate on coaching my son’s soccer team. I like bicycling, hicking, and taking a break in the sauna. I’m very involved with
carnival (well, my whole family is) which is very popular in the area I live in.

Any last words?
I really feel honored to be a POTW, now and say THANK YOU to everyone who was involved in my nomination. “Team Delbrueck and friends”, you are fantastic guys, and it’s a pleasure to play with you day after day! Hope we stick together for a long time and still “fight” many battles!

tau also included some socials, so cap away!

Munzee Player of the Week: Lisa Wright (CrazyLadyLisa)

Who are you?
Lisa Wright, or CrazyLadyLisa, says it all really, lol

Where in the world do you live?
Far off Perth, Western Australia. We are just a little isolated from everywhere!

How long have you played Munzee?
I signed up 3 years ago in June 2012, but it took a little while to get going. The bug didn’t bite for a month or so, but then it sank it’s teeth in and hasn’t let go!

How did you find Munzee?
My sister, Helen (AusTrackers), had been Munzeeing for quite a while before I was able to start. Helen and I are the top two players in Australia. Helen also introduced our sister Maria (Questing4) to the game.

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
TRAVELING! Meeting lots of great people in Australia (near and far), Germany, England, Florida. Seeing all those new places and the back streets where no tourist has ever ventured! And the great side-benefits of exercise, fresh air, sunrises and sunsets, new bird and animal (those baby alligators were cute!) photos in the collection. The Rovers also seem to enjoy those long walks they get, lol.

Once a year, Helen and Gary (Auscapee), Maria, and I spend a week together Munzee hunting. Last year it was Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, and this year, it’s Rosebud, Victoria. It’s just great having the sisters together Munzeeing.

We have a small community here in Perth, but we get together and have fun, so looking forward to the Birthday bash we have planned.

The Clan battles are a challenge each month. Helen & I have been lucky enough to team up with some great players worldwide and can clain 5 medals for the effort, but traveling has had to be an integral part.

Love the statistics. I get myself buried in my spreadsheet of caps, deploys, and royalties (cap ons) for hours on end, updating and sorting it.

Socials, what fun are they! They have taken on a whole life of their own, from achievement awards to subject specific, they are great.

What is on your wish list?
Where do I start, LOL.
Greenies need a bit more TLC. Maybe make 50 green caps a standard requirement of each Clan battle, along with more double/triple point days just for them.

Localised virtuals. Some areas Helen and I have had to revisit several times to replace missing munzees. It would be great if there was a virtual we could use that the capper had to be within say 2 feet to cap. The virtual would have all the same properties as the Munzee it replaced, mystery, ruby, etc. And needs to be a minimal cost to purchase!

Because of the limited numbers of munzees in some areas it might be nice if physicals were reset every year or two so that they can re-capped. Mind you having all those lovely red pins turn back to green/blue/… Again might freak some people out, lol. It would also be a good way of cleaning up the map as missing ones would be located before they become a special one can’t find!

Notifications back on the App for Munzee messages. Players might then read the message waiting for them!

Some way of contacting all the players in your area about events etc. Not everyone is on Facebook where most of the planning takes place. After all they may not even know there are Facebook Groups for everything munzee, and forums can be quite daunting.

Restructuring the levels, it takes a long time and many miles nowadays to level up, lol.

It would be nice if there were separate scoreboards for physical and virtual capping, as well as combined.

Please, add the beta unleash/fetch all option for rovers to the App! It is very stressful sitting in the airport departure lounge with boarding going on and one is individually fetching 321 rovers who have been out for a quick walk!

Tell us about yourself!
I’m 56, widowed for 4 years and have been a Librarian at the state government Dept. Of Parks and Wildlife for 26 years. I leave home about 05.30 each work day so I can munzee before work. Not so much fun this time of the year as it’s dark, cold and sometimes wet! That time of the morning is much better during summer as it’s the cooler part of the day. One can’t munzee hunt well in 37° C+ (100° F+) days. I try and pop out Saturday mornings for a little while, and Sundays, Helen and I go out together, which is great.

I have 2 rainbow lorikeets who keep me company and a goose in the backyard (my late husband decorated eggs!).

Helen and I have done a lot of travelling, Europe 2 years in a row, mainly because the mystery virtuals turned up after our first visit, so we just had to go back, the concentrations of virtuals is amazing. We still remember with pride, that we got our 10K badge by physically capping mysteries in Lommel, Belgium. It took us all day, but we did it ourselves. Sadly, the advent of the blast (we call them budgies, much safer word to use in airports and train stations) has meant that particular personal accomplishment is not strived for by current players.

I accompanied a friend to Florida in May this year, which was wonderful. Met lots of great players, saw lots of lovely sights and munzeed to my hearts content. Driving on the wrong side of the road was a challenge as were those 4-way stop signs and turning right on a red light! And those vultures, fascinating.

Other hobbies include:
You mean there are other things out there besides munzees? LOL, when I have spare time (not often nowadays) I bead, embroider, create articles with plastic canvas (ie phone cover with personal social on it). I do have a stamp collection somewhere in the bowels of the compactus but it hasn’t seen the light of day for quite a while now. I do play that other geolocating game, to a minor degree, usually when I am out with Helen. The whole Coexist campaign is great, after all one can play both football and cricket on the same playing field, and it can be so with all geolocating games.

P.S. Please, please, please include a sensible deploy note, if the location isn’t in the name already. After all you want the points as well, and if it can’t be found both lose out!

P.P.S A big thank you for the nomination, it’s much appreciated and has been fun writing up, finding photos, and creating another Social, LOL.

Munzee Player of the Week: Michelle Mitchell (LILYGRIMALDI)

Who are you?
My name is Michelle Mitchell (LILYGRIMALDI).

Where in the world do you live?
I live on the south coast of the UK in a town called Bournemouth.

How long have you played Munzee?
I have been playing Munzee since May 2013, so for 2 years now.

How did you find Munzee?
I was introduced to Munzee by a coworker, Steve (jonseyboy52), who had only found it himself about a month earlier. So I downloaded the app, found my first Munzee, and was hooked. I then had my first of many targets to beat his score, which took a while as back then, Munzees were very scattered about the local area.

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
I enjoy several aspects of the game of Munzee. The fact that you have to get out and about and can find places, even local, that you never knew were there. Meeting so many new friends with the same love of the game. The exercise it gives me, as I have never really enjoyed walking before playing Munzee. The competitive nature of the clan wars.

What is on your wish list? I would like more extra points says on greenie captures and more emphasis on greenies altogether, i.e. badges for capping 100/200/500 greenies in a day (thanks for the idea jonseyboy52) or badges for total capped greens like for 1,000/5,000/10,000 or maybe 25,000.

Tell us about yourself!
I have lived in Bournemouth all of my 49 years. My mother lives with me and I look after her as well as working a full time job for 30 years at Royal Mail (nights) our national mail carrier. I have 3 Jack Russell dogs that now enjoy Munzee walks. Until I started Munzee, I would spend a lot of time just sitting in front of the television, but now I am out every day for at least 1 to 2 hours looking for those QR codes. Even my munnzee name came from an American Daytime soap character from “As The World Turns”. Back in June 2013, not long after finding this fantastic game, I found other players on a local social media site, and by July, had agreed to go on a trip to Cologne with 3 people I had never met before. This was the beginning of what has now turned out to be a great friendship with pilsleyguy(world no1) along with chocolatefairy and peters and others. Together with pilsleyguy, I have travelled all through Europe capping and enjoying the sites and food of every city.

Other hobbies include:
I do not have any other hobbies. This takes up all my time.

Munzee Player of the Week: Nils Blixt (raunas)

Who are you?
Nils Blixt, aka raunas.

Where in the world do you live?
Linköping, Sweden in Northern Europe.

How long have you played Munzee?
Since May 2013.

How did you find Munzee?
A chap from Northern Sweden talked about it in a Facebook outdoor hobby group. I downloaded the app and got out to cap all three greenies we had in our town. Since then, I have been a big part of growing that number. I think that we have passed 1500 active Munzees in our town.

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
I like both getting out deploying and capping on my own or with my family, but I also like to help out people in our country’s Facebook group. I also have great now to help players in Sweden to cap specials when they are around, bot by placing temporary virtuals for other players to cap or help them out finding the bouncing specials on the map so everyone gets a good chance to cap them.

What is on your wish list?
Besides more local Munzers and a vacation to McKinney, maybe a visit to Berlin or London is more realistic. I would like to see a 1000 FTC badge, and I love when new specials show up on the map.

Tell us about yourself!
I am married to Enikö (kiwipanther), have two children, Astrid (hates being outdoors and has no nickname) and Erik (yoloerik), and a dog. I have just started to work as a prison officer for the Swedish Prison and Probation Service after the 20 week long education to get certified as a prison officer. I was leaving a desk job in the security industry to work with people instead. I also love barbecue with the family (and while watching the barbecue you can always caps some socials). When I have long weekends of work, I find it very relaxing to go to our old croft and chop wood or just sit and listen to the birds. There is always something to do there (the croft is over 200 years old).

Other hobbies include:
Besides tracking and just outside walking, I also play floorball. Sometimes, when I am out walking, I might play other GPS hobbies, but not on a larger scale anymore.

raunas also included his social, so cap away!

May 20, 2015

Munzee Player of the Week: Bryan Wright (fluffyfish)

Who are you?
My Munzee name is fluffyfish, but I’m also known as Bryan to non-Munzee people.

Where in the world do you live?
I live in the wonderful city of Perth, Western Australia. One of the most remote state capitals in the world.

How long have you played Munzee?
I’ve been with Munzee since the very early days. My Munzee Player ID is 650. I started playing in July 2011.

How did you find Munzee?
I had read about Munzee on an Australian caching forum. I was already thinking there should be a fun, urban hide and seek game, and voila, there was Munzee. The game was still raw in those first months, but Munzee has always been true to the principle of getting out in the world and having fun. So I was very keen and put out the second Munzee in Australia (I was pipped for the first Munzee in Australia by 12 hours). I still remember the days of printing and laminating the card and then waiting for the phone to find a signal to deploy (no offline capturing or deploying in the early days), and then waiting months for someone to capture it! To get my first Munzee, I had to travel 100km roundtrip for my first 5 points. But I was very excited to get that one!

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
I always enjoy getting out and about. Whether on foot or by bike, Munzee is a great hobby to keep you active. The other part of the game I enjoy is the community. The Munzee players in Perth are very diverse, but everyone is very helpful and supportive of each other. It is a real pleasure to meet up at any time with another Munzee player. More recently, I have been an active user of the new Munzee API. I’m interested in leaderboards of different styles (action points, excluding virtual, etc). I’m using the API to help do the data crunching for the monthly Australian and New Zealand Munzee competition. I do love to help other players from the game and keep people interested.

What is on your wish list?
My wish list is MORE special icons. I love them. I travelled across Australia just to get the virtual emerald in Melbourne (well it was closer than Texas or London). It is sort of like Munzee “stamp collecting”. Each special icon represents a time and place in Munzee for me and always bring back good memories. Another wish is developing more side games to Munzee. Clan Wars were a great way of engaging players on a monthly basis. I’m working on a secret side game using the Munzee API during May with some Australian players. If it is fun, I would love to see MHQ take our concept to players all over the world. Stay tuned.

Tell us about yourself!
I have a very enjoyable life with my wife and 3 kids in Perth. I encourage my youngest daughter (Bubbabear) to play Munzee with me when we are out. Bubbabear’s life is significantly affected by Autism. She loves the outdoors like her dad, so that keeps us playing. Actually, Munzee is a great game for kids with special needs, as it is fast-paced and simple to play. I was very happy when MHQ raised awareness with the Autism Hearts special icon. Also attached is my Autism Awareness Social Munzee.

Other hobbies include:
When I’m not Munzeeing or keeping Bubbabear entertained, I love watching rugby league. My social for my favorite team, the Manly Sea Eagles, is below. I’m also a techno-geek, so I will do some programming (especially if it is Munzee related) and electronics (I’ll have to get mu Munzee aware hat going again now that the API is out!) When Time permits, I find a round of golf very enjoyable (hint hint for the secret side game).

fluffyfish also included some socials, so cap away!
