Munzee Postal Service: February 2023

Following our resolution in January, here are the new cards that you can find in the store this month! They will be available until March 1st.

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have 4 new Limited Edition cards — the Garden Party Cards — and 1 new Open Edition card — the RUM Never Broke My Heart Card — for your deploying pleasure!

The RUM Never Broke My Heart Card will be available at our Authorized Resellers’ shops some time today. Here are the links to shop all of our resellers:

As a refresher, the points are as follows:

  • Limited Edition Cards:
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30
  • Open Edition Cards:

    • Capture: 40
    • CapOn: 25

General Info

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes to add a personal touch! While the capture message will contain your Munzee username as all Greeting Card capture messages do, we think typing in a more specific note will go a long way to creating a more unique and special experience!

Remember that these munzees will be archived 7 days after they are deployed, so make sure your intended recipient captures it before then!

We hope you enjoy sending and receiving new cards from friends around the world!

Munzee on!

Munzee Postal Service: January 2023

Since their introduction, Greeting Cards have been a popular game piece. Like the OG Temp Virt, they reside on the Temporary layer of the map, so their deploys won’t interfere with regular physical or virtual deploys, AND they are budget-friendly. Unlike the OG Temp Virt, they come in myriad colorful designs that make it easy to express yourself!

In 2022, we brought back some past Limited Edition cards for the various holidays, but sporadically. This year, we’re trying to improve our process by reviewing past Greeting Cards each month, and rereleasing the more timely designs. So, without further ado, here are the cards old and new that you can find in the store this month! They will be available until February 6th.

Double Points!

From the period of Friday, January 13th at 12:01 MHQ through Sunday, January 15th at 23:59 MHQ, Premium Members will enjoy double points on ALL Greeting Cards!

Heads up — Friday the 13th is almost here and the Flats are twice as excited as we are!

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have 2 new Limited Edition cards for your deploying pleasure — the 2023 New Year Resolutions Card and the Lunar New Year Rabbit Card!

As they are all Limited Edition cards, the points are as follows:

  • Deploy: 60
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 30

Motivational Message Cards are Back!

First introduced in 2021, like all Limited Edition cards they come in a set of 3! You can shop them HERE!

General Info

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes to add a personal touch! While the capture message will contain your Munzee username as all Greeting Card capture messages do, we think typing in a more specific note will go a long way to creating a more unique and special experience!

Remember that these munzees will be archived 7 days after they are deployed, so make sure your intended recipient captures it before then!

Halloween Greeting Cards + ZEE-Dayz

As promised, our ZEE-Dayz is starting now with double points on all Greeting Cards from Thursday, October 13th at 12:01 MHQ through Sunday, October 16th at 23:59 MHQ.

To make sure you can maximize your points and Pumpkoin earnings, we have 5 new Limited Edition cards AND 5 old Limited Edition Cards for your deploying pleasure! You can head to the Greeting Card collection HERE to see everything, or read on for the direct links to each item, PLUS some more details on the double points period!

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

The first is a bit different compared to the others, as it’ll scatter 1 Screaming Balloon Munzee upon deploy as shown below, on the card owner’s account.

Screaming Telegram Card Screaming Balloon Scatter
Points Points
  • Limited Edition
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 33

What makes the scatter unique is that it will remain for the ENTIRE 7-Day period, rather than disappearing upon first cap, AND it will be blastable. So, it’s basically 2 deploys in 1! If you get lucky, the balloon may end up closer to your desired location if the area is densely packed, as scatters are not subject to the same proximity rules as Greeting Cards.

For this reason, as it has the potential to earn you more points than the normal Limited Edition Cards, we’ve made it a 2-pack for $1 instead of the usual 3-pack. You can shop the Screaming Telegram card HERE!

The Screaming Balloon will have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well. They will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The remaining 4 are additional “Greetings From…” cards, this time with some more spooky locations! You can shop them HERE, along with the previous batches of cards, if you missed out!

As they are all Limited Edition cards, the points are as follows:

  • Deploy: 60
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 30

You can stock up on these cards and save them for later (the Screaming Telegram cards will still scatter), BUT they will only be in the store until 12:00 MHQ on November 1st!

Past Halloween Greeting Cards Return!

You may recall that we released the CHOMPliment Greeting Cards last year! We thought it might be nice for us to bring them back for a short while.

You can shop the past Halloween Cards HERE! They will also leave the store at 12:00 MHQ on November 1st!

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes to add a personal touch! While the capture message will contain your Munzee username as all Greeting Card capture messages do, we think typing in a more specific note will go a long way to creating a more unique and special experience!

Head Back-to-School with Limited Edition Greeting Cards!

Whether you enjoyed your school days or are glad to have put them behind, you probably looked forward to picking up a fresh set of school supplies each year! Even the most minimalist of students would feel the satisfaction of sharpening all of their #2 pencils to the finest point, turning the pages of crisp, pristine notebook paper, and stepping into a classroom the teacher has decorated with bright, eye-catching colors. It’s a fresh start in fall (at least in the U.S.) that we still feel the pull of, even as adults. So, to share the school spirit, read on for everything you need to know!

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have 3 new Limited Edition cards for your deploying pleasure available HERE! We know that Back-to-School dates vary greatly around the world (even within states here in the U.S.!), but as we’re still in the early Back-to-School season here, now is as good a time as any to lean into the theme!

Some Garden Gnomes are Going Gnomewhere!

After releasing the details for the eSports Gnome skin and experimenting with Halloween skins for Myths, we decided it would be a waste if Garden Gnomes disappeared completely from the map. Not to mention all the effort we put into creating them, and all the effort you put into keeping up your streak every day to earn them!

However, we’d still like to make room for new tPOBs we’re planning for next year. That, combined with the unique pricing of Garden Gnomes made it tricky for us to determine how many should stay, and what would be fair to players who have been collecting them. Ultimately, we’ve decided that players who own at least 8 Garden Gnomes (the actual gnomes, not the skins) will have 1 permanent Garden Gnome to keep.

If you meet this requirement by 23:59 MHQ on December 31st, the permanent Garden Gnome will be auto-deployed on your account some time on January 1st, and will retain the ability to switch between earned skins at any time. You may find that the process of making it a permanent POB has changed the base gnome’s appearance, though you’ll be able to access the original Garden Gnome as a skin and switch to it as well.

One More Skin!

Due to this change, we decided to create 1 more Garden Gnome skin, which you can earn by keeping up your capture streak in December. When the permanent Garden Gnomes are auto-deployed, they will come with this new skin, along with the skins you previously earned.

This also means that next year’s Monthly tPOB will not come with an extra skin in January (à la the Ice Hockey Gnome), and just be sold as the base version of that tPOB. Then, if you keep up your capture streak in January, you will receive a skin in February as usual.

Need more Garden Gnomes?

As mentioned in our monthly Garden Gnome posts, the gnomes can be purchased from the Freeze Tag Store once every 28 days, so we hope that if you’re close to that number and are interested in having a permanent Garden Gnome, this gives you enough time to pick one up. Since we’ve been reducing the price by a dollar each month, currently a Garden Gnome only costs $2! If you need a few more, don’t forget that our Authorized Resellers also have Garden Gnomes in stock, if you haven’t bought them already (each Reseller Gnome is limited to 1 per player).

Otherwise, don’t feel too bad if you won’t have a Garden Gnome to keep — next year’s Monthly tPOB is still in the works, and promises to have an equally fun theme, which we’ll announce once we have more details solidified!

Munzee on!

 

P.S. What do you think next year’s Monthly tPOB will be?

Player of the Week: Frank Profitt (munzeeprof)

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 Frank Profitt (munzeeprof).

Who are you?
I am Frank Profitt; I have several player names depending on the game I play: munzeeprof, WallaBeeprof, geoprof123, and strutprof. As so you can, I love geolocation games. <3

Where in the world do you live?
I live in Georgetown, Kentucky along I75 just north of Lexington.

How long have you played Munzee?
I started on 26 July 2011 🙂

How did you find Munzee?
I heard about Munzee on the GeoGearheads podcast, so I have DarrylW4 to thank for this madness. ;P

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
Traveling to big events and meeting other players. 🙂 Also, having the virtuals so that I have something to do on bad weather days. 🙂

What is on your wish list?
I would love to see the historical ones expanded into other states besides Texas, but in a more ordered way. I think a great way to do this would be to us the historical markers that are along the roads. Here in Kentucky, there are over 2500 of these markers in the states, and they are managed by the Kentucky Historical Society which has a detail list of them by county.

Tell us about yourself!
I retired this spring from Toyota where I was a maintenance person for 25 years. I also served in the Navy as an electrician for 6 years and got to go around the world. I was stationed in several states and visited a lot of others. I guess this has fueled my desire to travel and to see what’s around the next corner.

Other hobbies include:
Besides playing geolocation games, I collect Hard Rock Cafe pins and have visited over 50 cafes. I also collect Hot Wheels and attend national events with other local collectors.

Any last words?
I have been building up my area and now have over 600 virtuals surrounding the Toyota plant. You are welcome to drop virtuals in between an of mine and to make a slight detour when you are traveling on I-75 to capture some of them. With GeoWoodstock coming up in Cincinnati this summer, there are sure to be lots of Munzee players coming through here. 🙂 Hope to see many of you at the Munzee events held then and other places. 🙂 Thanks to all the people who nominated me!!

munzeeprof also included some socials, so cap away!
