Make Us A Munzee Competition Finalists!

The Munzee team was overwhelmed with the response to the “Make Us A Munzee” competition! We had over 600 entries, and it was tough to narrow them down to five finalists. Below are the descriptions of the finalists and a link to vote for your favorite. Voting will close on Wednesday, December 30th at 17:00 MHQ time. The winner will be contacted shortly following then to make their idea become reality! Also, please remember that details of these Munzees is subject to change, but the overall idea will remain intact. The text below is what was submitted by the player. Team Munzee will work with the winner to determine exact logistics after it is chosen.

Finalists

  • The Joker (Rubik80) – “A physical munzee that rewards the capper with 100 points or penalises them with minus 50 points. Limited to one per premium member per membership, like a Premium Munzee. The trick is when they lose the 50 points, they go to the munzee owner.”
  • The Pioneer (d-n) – “Can be only deployed in areas with no other munzees in certain radius (for example 1/2 mile). Cap on points residual into 50. Advantages -Support for starting the game in areas with no munzees.”
  • The Prankster (Rosemark) – “This will be a virtual Munzee. It will have 5 location Pins on the Map, but only 1 will be real. To deploy The owner will pick a location and deploy just like a regular Virtual, and the computer will create 4 more locations on the map within a 1 mile radius of the deployed location. Only one of these pins will be the real location of the Munzee. When a player attempts to cap the Munzee, they will not know which pin is real. If they pick the wrong one it will tell them “No Joy” and they will have to go to one of the 4 other locations until they find the correct one. Once they find the real one, they will receive the points earned, and a Badge for successfully capturing a Prankster Munzee. The scoring should reduce for each miss. Perhaps 50 points if they get it right the 1st time, 40 if 2nd, 30 if 3rd , 20 if 4th and 10 if last. Cap on points to owner could be like 10. Each time the Prankster is captured, a new correct location is randomly selected by the computer, so the correct pin is different each time capped.”
  • The Wormhole (kulbago) – “This Munzee will randomly tunnel to another munzee that is over 100 miles from its deployed location. Upon capturing this munzee, you get points just as though you were at the location at the other end f the wormhole. Once captured it will re-tunnel to another randomly selected munzee somewhere else in the world. Each wormhole munzee can only be captured once per day per player. (ie. you can’t stand there and keep capturing Munzees that are far away) If you wanted to make it more interesting you could make different “size” wormhole munzees. Small would tunnel to 100 miles away, medium say 250 miles, and large would have to find a munzee more than 500 miles away to connect to.”
  • The Rock-Paper-Scissors (2dld26) – “On deploy, the deployer picks it to be Rock, Paper or Scissors. The icon shows RPS so as not to identify what it is. When capture, the capturer has to choose Rock, Paper or Scissors. If they beat the deployer, then capturer gets 20 points and the deployer gets 10 points. If the capturer loses, then the capturer gets 10 points and the deployer gets 20 points. If they choose the same, then they each get 15 points. Potential badges: -Badges for winning 1, 25, 50 matches (bronze, silver, gold) -Badge for winning once against all three types: rock, paper and scissors Clarification: rock beats scissors beats paper beats rock.”

Christmas Parties Are In Full Swing!

We’re halfway through the month of December, and the Munzee Christmas Parties are in full swing! Rob, Matt, Louise, Daniel Hammock, and Daniel Fischer have all attended events already this month! Matt will also be attending the Metro Vancouver Post Holiday Cap’ing event on December 27th, and he’s excited!

In less than two weeks, 1140 players have capped the Father Christmas special, and we have another 17 events happening worldwide in the next 7 days! We can’t wait to see the outcome of them! Also, if you haven’t checked it out yet, the Dodgy Jumper gallery is live! We’re adding more images as we get them, so check it out!

These events have given us some crazy capture numbers, too! Matt stopped by the office around 3PM MHQ time on Saturday, and there were over 103,000 captures! We want to thank everyone who has hosted and/or attended an event for growing the game!

It’s Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Christmas…Kind Of

RobTreeIt’s December, and we’re getting into the Christmas spirit here at MHQ. We’ve got a slight problem, though. We’ve got two Christmas trees with no ornaments, and we need your help! If you’d like to participate, download this ornament template, fill it in with your design, and email it back to us! We’ll print them out, and on December 21st, we’ll show off our decorated trees!

Please email your completed designs you iloveyou@munzee.com with the subject “Christmas Tree Ornaments” so we can keep track of them all!

The Christmas Parties Are Beginning!

So here we are, it’s December! The Munzee Christmas Parties start tomorrow. We are very excited about everything planned. What a fantastic Munzee Community we have. There are 24 events just in the next 7 days! Don’t forget to check the calendar at https://calendar.munzee.com/ to see if there is one near you! If there isn’t, don’t worry, it’s not too late to host one yourself. Add it to the calendar or contact me directly at louise@munzee.com if you are having difficulties.

I have some important information relating to some of the features of the Christmas Parties, these two points are for all attendees to all parties:

  • Be sure to capture the Event Indicator Munzee at the event you attend. Your host has the code. This not only gives you the Event Indicator special icon, it will also give you the Christmas Party Attendee badge and a little surprise from Father Christmas.
  • Be sure to wear your best festive gear if you would like a chance at winning the Dodgy Jumper competition. Hosts will be submitting a player name and photo after the event. That player and the hosts will get the Dodgy Jumper badge. Hosts: just because you will be getting the badge for nominating someone else doesn’t mean you don’t have to make an effort!

Most events have taken the Lucky Dip option. This is a $20 add on that turns a specified Munzee into a magic Munzee that gives a credit item from the past, present or future every time it is capped. If you would like to add this to your event, please let me know ASAP.

Lastly, I would like to thank you all for your support with events. Your enthusiasm and efforts involved in them as hosts and attendees is fantastic and I look forward to growing the game, the map and the community even more with you all. Have a wonderful time this month and I can’t wait to hear all about it and see all those dodgy pictures!!

Cheers and Merry Christmas, Louise x

Cyber Munzday Sale

Hello everyone and thank you for the patience over the past week.
Here is the final information about our sale, to begin at 3pm CST.

EDIT: Virtual Trail Deploy Stage One: Change location of Stage One BEFORE converting to virtual trail.

Surprise Munzee: Previously marketed as the MVM replacement, it is now clear from player feedback it will not fit that mold. This munzee is not able to be blast captured. All surprise munzees have been returned to your undeployed list, even if they had captures. There is a good reason, we want everyone to have a chance to deploy where it is able to be captured. The capture attributes are within 300 feet of the munzee, just as a normal virtual or MVM, excluding blast. We wanted to give all premium members a chance to start fresh with this information in mind when choosing a deployment location. The Surprise Munzee will be offered for sale at $3.50 instead of regular $6.00.

Store Description for Surprise munzee:  The Surprise Munzee is the newest in a line of virtual munzees. When captured, it will randomly award the points of a munzee from this list of predetermined Munzees:

Cap/CapOn points as of February 2020.
Diamond: 80/25
Ruby: 70/25
Mystery: 60/25
Topaz: 60/25
Motel: 120/40
Hotel: 200/50

Unicorn Munzee: 1000 limited quantity. If you attempt to purchase more than one your account will NOT be credited with the second. This has been coded to stop those who have found work arounds in the past. DO NOT ATTEMPT, no refunds will be processed. The unicorn is priced at $20 and only available in this limited quantity. It will appear along with the nomads and other special icons at www.munzee.com/specials for all players to track and capture. The unicorn is valuable and flies from Munzee to Munzee all over the world similar to the nomad.

Virtual Trail Munzees: In order to fix a miscommunication we have two parts to this announcement.

First, for those who purchased on Friday: we have added a brand new virtual for each of the credits you purchased. We did not fully communicate or price appropriately the intent of the virtual trail munzee. The virtuals have already been added to your undeployed list.

Second, for those who will purchase today and moving forward: the pricing has been updated to reflect the purchase of brand new virtual munzees AND virtual trail credits. One purchase equals 5 credits and 5 virtual munzees.The price for today only is $13 (5 credits for $3 and 5 virtuals for $2 each). The normal retail price is $30.

THANK YOU! We appreciate your understanding over this past holiday weekend. We hope you enjoyed the extra prizes given out for captures. Use them wisely to Grow The Map in your area!

If any details are missed they will be added as an update at the top of this post. Thank you.

Weekend Update

Hello everyone. This is just a quick update to let you know our plans for Monday. Due to the holidays and the weekend we have not had the chance to confirm all items in time for 10am MHQ sales. We will delay the sales until ~3pm MHQ time which allows most players worldwide a better timing and opportunity. Thank you for understanding as we’ve made several changes over the past several days.
Additional information will be available prior to 3pm tomorrow. The goal is 10-11am for an informational post about Cyber Munzday sales. My current thoughts are sale prices on many current items, the release of the limited edition unicorn munzee (hard programmed to only award 1 per account), and the release of the surprise munzee. Surprise munzee will only be available after more conversations in the morning if it is ready to launch fully. Other items may be included or removed based on our ability to provide the best quality and service.
Thanks again for your patience and I hope you enjoyed the prizes the past few days. We are thankful for everyone who plays Munzee. The prizes end at 10am MHQ time Monday. — Rob

Brief Descriptions of New Munzee Types

  • Surprise Munzee: When captured, it will take on the best point characteristics of a random Munzee from a predetermined list for points (e.g. Full Hotel/Motel, Diamond Ruby, etc)
  • Virtual Trails: Distance rules are the same as physical Trail Munzees, and the point structure is extended for stops 6-10.
  • Scatter Munzee: When captured, this munzee will throw out (similar to the ghost pellet specials) 4 special munzees on greenies within a 1 mile radius that can be captured within 2 hours. Anyone can capture these new munzees.
  • Prize Wheel Munzee: When captured, the player will receive points or rewards randomly based on a predetermined list (e.g. 20-100 points, DIamond +10 points, Hotel + 10 points, etc).
  • Unicorn Munzee: These munzees behave like nomads, but are owned by players.

Full descriptions of each Munzee will be released on the blog the day they go for sale.

NOTE: We are still accepting submissions for the Make Us A Munzee competition. The munzees we are releasing next week have been in production for quite some time. Though some of the submissions we have received are very similar, the new releases are not reflective of that competition.
