Meet Munzee MunzDays: Mari

Here at Munzee we’re constantly encouraging our players to meet and greet and build the personal relationships that make this game so great. To bring back this fun way to introduce team members, here is one invaluable member of the Freeze Tag’s team! 

L-R Tamara, Craig, and Mari

Name and Title:

Mari Rann, Product Manager (Kirikat)

Where are you from?

I was born in Orange County and have spent most of my life growing up in sunny California. When I was younger I’d travel to Tokyo, Japan frequently to visit family and also attended university there while I was studying abroad.

Tell us about yourself:

Proud cat mom to two of the most precious kitties, Benji and Burr! As an animal lover, I’ve grown up with pets all my life and love to spoil them. I believe that all life is precious – and yes, I’m one of those people who brings spiders outside instead of killing them. Following my passion for games, I attended the University of California, Irvine and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Game Science. At the time, Craig was teaching a Game Design course and after bugging him incessantly, he finally decided to hire me as an intern. After graduating, I joined the team full-time, and the rest is history!

How long have you worked for Freeze Tag?

I have worked for Freeze Tag for almost five years and Munzee coming up on one and a half years. Time flies when you’re having fun!

How did you find Munzee?

I originally downloaded Munzee as part of an R&D assignment while working at Freeze Tag, but ended up getting sucked into the game quite quickly, especially after meeting Rob and some of the local players at a nearby event!

Mari and Tamara

What do you enjoy most about Munzee?

Munzee has led me to find some pretty unique and scenic locations to visit, that I may not have found otherwise! I love how Munzee encourages me to explore new areas I haven’t been before. In the past I had tried geocaching and really enjoyed the hide’n’seek aspect of finding caches, except when they were missing or too difficult to find. That’s why I enjoy Munzee quite a bit more. They are easier to hide and find, especially in urban areas, and there are usually way more nearby Munzees deployed than caches.I also have a blast attending events and dressing up as different Munzee creatures with my cosplay duo partner, Tamara!

What are some of your other hobbies?

Video gaming has been a huge influence and part of my life from a young age. Starting with the original Doom on MS-DOS, to Super Mario Bros on NES, Final Fantasy VII on PS1 and World of Warcraft on PC. I’ve grown into a major Blizzard fan and try to attend Blizzcon each year, if I’m lucky enough to get tickets! Recently I’ve enjoyed playing Overwatch competitively on PC and have ranked within the top 3% of players in the US.

Famous last words?

“Is there fall damage in this game?”

Stay tuned to get to know more members of Team Munzee and Freeze Tag!

Capturing a Korea Global Grub special will award you the following tasty badge:

If you’ve never treated yourself to Korean cuisine, there are so many dishes you need to try! However, kimchi has cemented its legacy as one of the most reliable staple dishes for traditional Korean dining. This side dish of salted and fermented vegetables that are finely seasoned is s great introductory meal to whet your taste buds. You can even pick up some cabbage and prepare it at home!

The Global Grub specials will bounce around the globe for the remainder of the year before leaving the map on 12/31/2019 at 23:59 MHQ time. You will have until then to try your luck capturing these very rare specials!  We will also be putting out an overall capture line in the future, so make sure to stay turned for more exciting Global Grub updates!

Munzee Fitness Update is Here to Whip You into Shape!

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, then chances are it’s finally starting to warm up (apologies to Southern Hemisphere). What better time to get active, especially since we are happy to announce the integration of new fitness features with the latest version of the Munzee app! We also have more than a dozen new Fitness Badges as well as a Community Step Challenge through the end of the month. Read on to learn more!

Fitness Updates

For all you fitness fanatics and diligent step counters, you can now integrate fitness features on the app! Our recent updates now allow players to track steps and distance using a compatible fitness provider. The following fitness providers are all compatible with the latest version of Munzee, so if you didn’t install Munzee 4.0 for iOS or Android, now is the time to jump straight to 4.1! Please remember the update is populating worldwide, which can sometimes take a few hours. So if you don’t immediately see it, just check back regularly!

Compatible fitness providers

  • Apple Health
  • FitBit
  • (NEW) GoogleFit
  • (NEW) Garmin

In addition to doubling our amount of compatible fitness devices, there are several other features in this latest update. You can learn more about fitness integration below, but here is a comprehensive list of changes:

  • Fitness features integrated with version 4.1 Munzee app, found in the Profile section of the app
  • Dual Map and Compass buttons added to the Munzee Details page
  • The compass screen now displays accurate latitude/longitude coordinates
  • Rovers now appear on the map if you’ve already captured the host, but have the capture filter disabled
  • Rovers now appear on the map if you own the host, but have the owned filter disabled

Syncing Your Device

Ready to start getting rewarded for your steps? If you have any of the four compatible devices, you can sync yours to Munzee today to start earning badges for your steps! You will be able to view all Fitness information from your player profile. Simply go to your profile and click the Fitness tab in order to view the Munzee Fitness daily activity and Fitness Vendor Authorization.

To sync your fitness device of choice, select the Fitness Vendor Authorization and choose which device you’d like to authorize. You will then be prompted to login to your Fitness device. Fitbit users, we kindly ask for you to login to your Fitbit account by entering your email and password for the Fitbit account. There seems to be an error that prevents people from logging in to their Fitbit via their Facebook or Google account options at the moment. All fitness device users, be sure to grant any necessary permission for your fitness device.

Once you login to your device, it will be linked to your Munzee account, and you will see a screen that reads “Authorization Successful!” You can now View Activity under the Munzee Fitness tab on your Player Profile to keep up with your progress! After you have authorized a fitness vendor, the Munzee Fitness tab will always be available for checking your daily activity.

Syncing your device is that easy! However, if you are more of a visual learner, we have created a Fitness Syncing Help Guide article that you can follow to help sync your device.

A Personal Challenge

Another update we have made to the Munzee Fitness program is the removal of Fitness Leaderboards. We know this may come as a shock to all of you competitive steppers, but we believe that Munzee Fitness is a personal tool for you to use to keep track of your daily activity. We encourage you all to set daily goals for yourself and maintain physical activity on your own accord. If you do prefer the challenging aspect of leaderboards, luckily the Fitness device you connected may still have those capabilities! It just won’t be a feature built into the Munzee platform moving forward.

Badges

We believe that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, but health is an invaluable aspect of well-being that should never be swept aside. To encourage staying active and keeping your heart healthy, our new update offers the chance to earn over a dozen new fitness badges! These new badges have an updated design from the original badges and even more goals to reach.

If you have already earned any of the previously available Fitness badges, you will of course keep them. If you did not earn any of the original fitness badges they will no longer be available. All player data will be started fresh with the launch of this app update and everyone starts with the ability to earn only the new badges. In other words this new sync will act like Day One in your Munzee fitness journey for all players.

In total there are now four categories for Fitness badges!

The new Lifetime Miles badges have similar artwork to the previous line with the updated Munzee M. These badges award players for every thousand miles they walk up to 6,000 lifetime miles! If you earned the previous Lifetime Miles you’ll still get to see those in your collection, but now you have all new badges to walk for! The first in the new series appears as follows:

1k Lifetime Miles – Walk 1,000 lifetime miles using a supported Munzee fitness tracker.

Meanwhile, there will be an additional  TWO new Steps Per Day badges based on achieving outstanding daily steps. Players will still be able to earn the previous three badges (5k, 10k, 15k steps in one day) if they have not already earned them, but now you can also earn badges for stepping 20k and 25k in a single day!

We’re also excited to introduce new Streak Badges earned for consistent days of fitness!  You can earn these badges by walking at least 10,000 steps a day for multiple days in a row. The first badge, The Triathlete, can be earned when you walk at least 10k steps for three days in a row! We won’t reveal all of the streak requirements just yet, but after you earn the first one you should have a good idea of how long to keep going. The first in this all new badge series appears as follows:

Finally, there is a line of new Distance Badges to earn based on completing different mile achievements over time. These work like the Lifetime Miles Badges, but are based on very distinct distances. The fun part about these badges is they will inform you of how the distance you have walked compares to the real world. For example, if you earn the following badge, you will have walked the distance of England’s east coast to its west coast!

Coast-to-Coast- Walk 192 miles (309km) using a supported Munzee Fitness tracker.

Please be aware all badges may take up to 48 hours to appear after syncing your daily steps.

Community Challenge!

It’s time for a deep stretch, because you’re really going to be inclined to get moving when you hear about our fitness contest! Starting today and lasting until 23:59 MHQ time on May 31, we will be doing a 4.1 million steps challenge! (No, you don’t have to complete those steps yourself!) Everyone who syncs their devices will be challenged to collectively walk 4.1 million steps before the month ends. All who sync their devices to Munzee 4.1 will be automatically entered into a drawing for one of three prizes!

The *prizes include:

  1. 15 Urban Fit credits
  2. $25 Freeze Tag Store Gift card
  3. 15 Urban Fit coded stickers (available only from Authorized Munzee Resellers)

*One prize per winner.
**ALL participants who sync and walk at least 45,000 steps by May 31 will also receive ONE Urban Fit credit! Steps must be in our system before 23:59 May 31 to count.

One more time, don’t forget to update to Munzee 4.1 through your app store and sync your fitness device! We’re sure you’ll have all sorts of questions, so check out the Munzee Fitness FAQ Help Guide article, which we will also be updating over the next few days as we receive questions.

We hope this fitness update encourages you to get up and start moving. With cardiovascular disease cited as the leading global cause of death, hitting daily activity goals through as little as moderately paced walking for set periods of time can tremendously impact your health!

Get active, and Munzee on!

Meet Munzee Munzday: Emma

Here at Munzee we’re constantly encouraging our players to meet and greet and build the personal relationships that make this game so great. To bring back this fun way to introduce team members, here is one of our latest recruits!

Update: Emma’s player name is violetblonde 🙂

Name and Title:

Emma Polini, Digital Content Creator

Where are you from?

I am from Westfield, NJ, a born and raised East Coast Jersey girl

Cowboys fans, we come in peace.

Tell us about yourself:

I am bilingual (English and poorly accented French). My favorite English word is catalyst, and my favorite French word is témoin. My favorite thing to do is create things out of blank spaces, and I enjoy all forms of writing as well as painting and drawing. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Austin College in May 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts in English, emphasis creative writing, and minors in French and Art. I was fortunate enough to join several honors societies, including Phi Beta Kappa, and I spent several months after graduation in Cannes, France before serving as a Managing Editor of several newspapers for a year and then upgrading big time by joining MHQ. I have a tabby named Cat (after Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s) and a rescue dog named Henry (after Henry Miller), because I’m that kind of English nerd. My favorite book is Tropic of Capricorn, my favorite writers are Oscar Wilde and Haruki Murakami, and my favorite poem is The Waste Land. I consider myself cool because I can recite full passages from it, and that probably tells you a lot about me.

How long have your worked for Munzee?

I joined MHQ this past January, and I get to work next door to the bossman himself! Who knew a 9-5 could be so fun.

How did you find Munzee?

I have been living in McKinney since my summer in France and lucked upon this opportunity. MHQ was looking for a digital content creator to keep up with blog writing, social media, and client relations, and I was seeking to switch career paths.

What do you enjoy most about Munzee?

I think it’s really important to build a sense of community so that you don’t feel isolated, and I love that Munzee draws together people from all walks of life who share similar interests. Opportunities such as Clan Wars allow players from all around the world to “fight” together on teams, and I love seeing the friendships formed and meeting players who travel all the way to to McKinney to visit us (aka Rob). It’s also exciting to read about player achievements and witness people celebrating each other.

What are some of your other hobbies?

I love to write, and I keep up with fiction and poetry writing, as well as journals. I also keep a weekly blog so that I can discuss social issues, because standing up for human rights is something that is crucial to me. I enjoy oil painting and mixed media art as well, and I also love to exercise. My favorite exercises are jogging and yoga, because I am too uncoordinated for formal sports, but surprisingly graceful on the yoga mat. I also love all animals, even tarantulas, which actually feel like bunny rabbits if you pet them. I especially enjoy rescuing animals and giving them to my friends/family!

Famous last words?

New MOB Specials Are Ready to Hit the Map!

Think you can handle a little more excitement? Since we announced the BETA launch of our PinPoints Loyalty Program, we have witnessed many players redeeming their hard-earned PinPoints for prizes of their choosing. We thought why not keep the celebration going with the introduction of our TWO PinPoints bouncing specials starting on May 10 at 00:01 MHQ time!

Both the physical and virtual PinPoints specials are Munzee Owned Bouncers (MOB) and they hit the map at midnight and stay on the map until May 20 at 23:59 MHQ time. You can learn more about each type below!

PinPoints Virtual Special

There will be a total of 50 PinPoints Virtual Specials. Even though there may not be as many as other specials they will be bouncing quick. The specials will bounce to all colors of regular virtuals every 4 hours or when captured. Each capture will reward you 100 points AND 2 PinPoints!

Points

  • Capture: 100 points and 2 PinPoints
  • CapOn: 10 points

The virtual special will not be blastable, but it will be attracted to Virtual Magnets from the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can capture the virtual bouncing special on your own munzees and on munzees that you have already captured.

PinPoints Physical Special

A total of 200 PinPoints Physical Specials will be bouncing to greenies every 8 hours or when capped. You will earn 100 points and 5 PinPoints for every capture. This special will be attracted to Physical Magnets, and you can capture it on your own munzees or munzees you have already capped.

Points

  • Capture: 100 points and 5 PinPoints
  • CapOn: 15 points

You will also earn the following badge for capturing one PinPoints Special of any type. The badge will appear as follows:

PinPointer!- Capture 1 PinPoints Special of any type

Flat Friends Party and New Personal Tag Design!

We’ve officially made it halfway through a Pintastic week at MHQ, but in case you missed it we have other reasons to celebrate! Matt (the real one) reached his 5 year Munzee milestone yesterday, so Flat Matt decided to celebrate by hitting the map today and offering 25-percent off on all Flat Matt purchases until 23:59 MHQ time tonight (5/8)!

If you’re looking for some more good news, remember that Sapphires are now available in the online store in packs of five (5). You can pick yours up today for $25 and earn PinPoints for your purchase, or redeem some hard-earned PinPoints for this prize in the PinPoints store. Just a reminder that if you’re still waiting for your PinPoints to show up, it might take a little while if you just created your account. You also may not have completed the entire enroll and link process. Be sure to read through the PinPoints Help Guide to learn more!

In celebration of all of our fabulous Flat Friends and the stunning Sapphire, we’ve put together a new Family Jewels personal tag design, now available in the Freeze Tag Online Store. Featuring all four Flat Friends (who are just like family) this tag is a must have for all jewel collectors.

Lastly, to keep his anniversary rocking on Flat Matt has decided to invite all of his Flat Friends to join in on the fun later this month!  Since the Flat Friends decided to all be on the map for Geowoodstock from May 24 at 00:01 MHQ time until May 27 at 23:59 MHQ time, May 25 seemed like the perfect time to throw a Flat Friends party! You can enjoy DOUBLE points on all activity for ALL four Flat Friends from 00:01 to 23:59 MHQ time on May 25!

There’s lots going on and this May is certain to be an absolute blast!

Munzee on!
