Announcing August GOTM and POTM Winners!

The end of the month means it’s time for some well-deserved player recognition! We’re happy to announce the winners of our August Garden of the Month (GOTM) and Player of the Month (POTM) badges, as well as the criteria for September POTM, which just might include a special badge! ?

August GOTM Winners

First let’s recognize some outstanding Virtual Garden builders! As always, all winning GOTM organizers and all players who deployed in the winning gardens will be awarded special badges for their contribution to growing the map! So if you organized or deployed in the Sunflower Garden, organized by wemissmo, or the Pegasus Garden, organized by zsomborpeto, then congratulations on earning August GOTM badges!! The winning August GOTM gardens appear as follows:

Sunflower Garden by wemissmo in Fort Myers, Florida

Of course a garden located in the Sunshine State would be the one to offer this cheerful bouquet of sunflowers that brings happiness to the map! 

Pegasus Garden by zsomborpeto in Szeged, Hungary

With the release of our Pegasus variants earlier this summer, we had to give this garden a win for its creative depiction of this mythological creature! 

All players who deployed in the respective winning gardens will receive the following special badges in the near future:

Do you know a garden that is worthy of the September GOTM title? We’re asking for players to submit already created gardens for the chance to win any of our upcoming Garden(s) of the Month! Just be sure to follow the rules!

Rules for GOTM nominations:

  1. Garden must feature non-licensed character designs.
  2. The garden must feature a Garden Places Pin.
  3. The garden must be built using a publicly available spreadsheet which we will ask to be locked after being 100% deployed.
  4. We’re asking for ongoing nominations and we will release the winners throughout the year.

Send your nomination for GOTM to iloveyou@munzee.com! Keep in mind that we take all former nominations into consideration for upcoming months. Just be sure your garden follows the nomination rules in order to be considered eligible!

If you need help deploying in a Virtual Garden, you can check out this step-by-step tutorial that will making deploying in a garden easy no matter how long you’ve been playing. To fill in the gardens, make sure to stock up on Virtuals and Color Credits from the Freeze Tag Online Store.

August POTM Winners

August POTM called for player nominations, as players submitted their selections for players with ZeeQRew or QRew status who demonstrate their dedication to readily responding to munzees and keeping the map clean. We received several dozen nominations and couldn’t be more thrilled to give this badge to those players who help keep Munzee fun for all!

Scroll down to the end of the post to read the complete list of August POTM winners! A big thank you to all these awesome and active members of the Munzee community, and everyone who does their part to keep the map clean!

September POTM Requirements

To celebrate birthday month in July, we offered a brand new badge that any player could earn regardless of whether or not they had previously earned Player of the Month. Well, September has us pretty excited about MHQ Bash 6, so we decided to once again offer a unique POTM badge this month that any player is eligible to earn! But before you get too excited, you’ll have to meet the requirements to earn this badge:

Players engaged in September Clan Wars will now have an extra goal to aspire to, as any player who earns a minimum of 5,000 points from any Clan Weapon activity in September will be awarded this special badge at the conclusion of the month. That means that Clan Weapon Capture, CapOn, and Deploy points will all count towards earning this elite badge for September POTM.

Thanks for making August a great month for Munzee! We can’t wait to share all the fun that September has in store!

Munzee on!

September Resolutions Call for Less TV Time

If you’re reading this, your nose is clearly in a screen, but this month we’re challenging players to turn away from the one that many of us have mounted on our walls. You don’t have to set it on fire, but for September Resolutions, we are challenging players to watch less TV and spend more time exploring the real world!

*We do not accept liability for any burned television sets

Since the start of the year, our monthly Capture Streak badges have been centered around a year of personal improvement. Each month’s unique badge is dedicated to accomplishing another New Year’s Resolution. Like our Super Streak badges, you will be awarded a badge if you capture at least one Munzee* each day for the entire month. Each of the badges allows for the chance to work towards a different in order to bring about a year of positive growth and change!

Press Pause

Many of us lead hectic lives, and there is nothing wrong with unwinding on the couch at the end of a long day with your favorite television program. However, there is a difference between enjoying a show or two and having to continually confirm on Netflix that you are still watching. While you don’t have to give up television all together, there are benefits of limiting TV time.

Television has an influence on your worldview, and it is likely not an accurate one. Unless you’re only watching documentaries, it’s likely that you’re seeing a myriad of careers (from doctors to lawyers to police officers) inaccurately portrayed on the small screen, which subconsciously shapes how you view the world. In a larger sense, this sense of false reality submersion can create false expectations in life and lead to disillusionment with reality, adversely affecting interpersonal relationships along the way. The end result? Overall less satisfaction with your life.

It’s likely no surprise that television influences your spending habits, with the power of advertising becoming virtually unavoidable thanks to measures such as product placement and subliminal advertising. While advert advertising is easier to see, when messages are less obviously interspersed throughout programming, they can become harder to actively avoid. In addition, too much television drains your mental energy and impairs rational thinking.

And, of course, one of the main reasons why too much TV is bad for your health is because it robs us of precious time that we could be spending with real people in the real world. So grab the ones you love and head into the real world to discover what your surroundings have to offer. Of course if you happen to Munzee along the way, that’s just an added bonus!

Munzee on!

* In order to encourage active gameplay we will not count Social Munzees for these capture streaks. If you know you’ll be in an area without munzees, plan ahead!

Meet Munzee Munzday: Delana

Here at Munzee we’re constantly encouraging our players to meet and greet and build the personal relationships that make this game so great. Today we are going to get to know a member of the team who has been around for a while. Please welcome Delana! 

Brendan and me

Name and Title:

Delana Adams, Customer Service for Eventzee (delanamunzee)

Where are you from?

Born in Kansas city, MO, but I’ve lived in Texas for most of my life.

Tell us about yourself:

I was lucky enough to find the love of my life early in life. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Brendan, for 2 1/2 years now. We live in Little Elm with our amazing dog Ellie. We just moved back to Texas after living in California while Brendan was in the Marine Corps. We really loved our life and the family we created while living out there, but we’re very excited for this new chapter of life. My husband is obsessed with getting another dog now that we have a house (we’ll see), and we are planning on starting a family soon.

My sweet Ellie Bean

I actually have a full time job, and now do Eventzee only part time, but still love it and working with all my Munzee and FT team members as much as I can. I love to cook and bake and play with my dog. I love rewatching movies (it drives my husband crazy), and going to the movies for date night. I miss seeing the ocean every day, but I don’t miss that cold Pacific Ocean water.

How long have your worked for Munzee?

Just hit my 4 year mark! They haven’t found a reason to get rid of me yet!

How did you find Munzee?

I heard about Munzee through my dad actually, because he knew Rob, Matt, and TJ through a local hockey team. And funnily enough, I was going to school for Culinary Arts, and I was going to work in the kitchen for the marketplace (RIP Munzee Marketplace). So what started out as me working in the marketplace part time turned into me running the kitchen, then managing the store when the kitchen closed (RIP again LOL), then helping out with Eventzee when I could spare a few hours a week, then Eventzee full time, and then to part time when I moved out to California. I’ve worn many hats within Munzee, and now Freeze Tag!

With the best dog in the whole world

What do you enjoy most about Munzee?

Although I’m not as much involved in Munzee as everyone else is, and I don’t work in the office anymore, I have never felt out of place. The team and the players have always welcomed me (even if no one ever knows what I do haha). When I lived in Cali, I went to one of the birthday events, and I knew people from previous MHQ bashes and other events who I talked to like we’d known each other forever. The family that Munzee has created and Freeze Tag has built upon is amazing, and I love being a part of it.

With my best friend, Nicole, at Disneyland for my birthday in 2018

What are some of your other hobbies?

I love yoga, and I’m finally starting to get back into it now that I have the time and space for it. My husband has gotten into wood working, so we’ve got lots of projects keeping us busy now on the weekends. Hockey and football are also major loves of my life. Now that we’re back home, I’m excited to be able to watch games with my family again. Eating might not be a hobby, but I love doing it. Trying new foods, flavors, and recipes are some of my favorite things to do.

Famous last words?

“If I don’t have some cake soon, I might die.” – Stanley Hudson, The Office

Stay tuned to get to know more members of the team!

National Tooth Fairy Day Means New Specials!

Do you remember the joy of a loose baby tooth? The wiggle, the wonder, the crisp dollar bill you’d discover under your pillow in the morning. While you might not be celebrating loose teeth these days, we do have a way to get you excited about detached dentures. You’d expect for these specials to be released at tooth-hurty, but the Tooth Fairy Specials will actually be hitting the map at 15:00 MHQ time today for some tooth caps you’ll actually enjoy!

Tooth Fairy Specials

As you’ll soon see from our badge and tags, today is Tooth Fairy Day 2019! That’s right, August 22 marks National Tooth Fairy Day in the United States, a holiday that allows you to connect to your inner kid and recall the fun of this fabled fantasy figure. So what better way to celebrate the whimsy than with specials that will have you grinning from ear to ear?!

The Tooth Fairy Specials will be 3 physical Munzee Owned Bouncers (MOBs) that will bounce to specific munzees. We will be putting a total of 1,600 of these specials on the map, but some teeth are more rare than others! White Tooth specials are the most common, Gold Tooth specials are less common, and Diamond Tooth specials are super rare. All specials will bounce around every 8 hours or when captured and will remain on the map until September 7 at 23:59 MHQ time.

Where do teeth like to shop? At the Gap! But what landing pads are they attracted to? That depends on the special! The White Tooth will be attracted to Greenies, the Gold Tooth will be attracted to Premium Munzees, and the Diamond Tooth will be attracted to physical Jewel Munzees (Diamond, Ruby, Aquamarine, Topaz, and Pink Diamond). The point distribution for capping a Tooth Fairy special will vary based on which special is capped.

Points

  • White Tooth: 1 PinPoint and 50 points to both Capture and Host
  • Gold Tooth: 5 PinPoints and 100 points to both Capture and Host
  • Diamond Tooth: 10 PinPoints and 250 points to both Capture and Host

Alright guys, you know the drill! You can access our latest specials by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters. Additionally, you can Magnetize Greenies to get White Tooth specials, but Gold and Diamond Tooth specials won’t be attracted to Magnets, so keep your eyes peeled for them!

UPDATE: If you are the owner of the munzee and you capture it, unfortunately, you will only get the capture rewards, not both. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Badges

While we can’t offer you a plaque, we do have badges you can earn instead! There will be a total of 4 new badges to earn for capturing the Tooth Fairy Specials. While we aren’t going to reveal all of the badges just yet, we will give you a sneak peek of what you can earn. The first badge in the series will appear as follows:

Moral Molars– Capture one White Tooth special.

Want to know what other badges you can earn? Better get capping!

Personal Tags

Last but not least, we will also be releasing our brand new Tooth Fairy Personal Munzee Tags! You can pick up this custom design in the Freeze Tag Online Store for $10. Check it out below:

We hope you enjoy these specials! No flossing required, but don’t forget to cap these teeth when you wake up and before you go to bed!

Munzee on!

Meet Munzee Munzday: Louise

Here at Munzee we’re constantly encouraging our players to meet and greet and build the personal relationships that make this game so great. Today we are going to get to know the lovely lady Lou, who some of you may recognize from the Flat Lou Munzees! Let’s learn more about our British staff member and skilled cyclist. 

With my two beautiful sons

Name and Title:

Louise Gibson, Worldwide Events Manager (geoibsons)

Where are you from?

London, England, but I have moved all over the place, and who knows where I’ll end up!

Tell us about yourself:

I’m 41 and a Mum of 2 boys, now 8 & 11. We live in a pretty town called Marlow, west of London. I juggle being a single Mum, working for Munzee, cycling for Great Britain & my InternationElles team and holding down a long distance relationship with Rob. I am truly happy on my bicycle or when I travel. Combining the two is my favourite, but only really great if Rob is there too. I am super proud to have just completed the full Tour de France in a move for equality for women’s cycling. My team gained worldwide recognition and praise for what we were doing, and the best moment was when Rob proposed on the Champs Élysées at the end of the Tour. My boys and I are currently enjoying a few weeks in Texas during their school holidays.

A very easy yes

How long have your worked for Munzee?

I’ve worked for Munzee for over 4 years. I took events over in May 2015. I had hosted my own Munzee event the month previous and had so many suggestions to how things could be done I was offered the job! Since then Munzee events have exploded. I’ve helped hosts put together over 2,200 events all over the world. My favourite aspect of the job is working with Trish. I love seeing what she puts together for the badges and icons and passing them onto the hosts.

Rob joined in for one stage with the InternationElles 

How did you find Munzee?

I found Munzee through geocaching right back when Munzee was less than 2 months old (August 2011). I resisted for a while, because I knew I would get super involved and didn’t have much free time, but when clan wars started I couldn’t resist any longer and I jumped in with both feet!

With Rob, Matt, and Dylan in our OppoSuits

What do you enjoy most about Munzee?

The Munzee community is the best thing about the game. The players are wonderful. I am lucky to have met so many all over the world and they are great. Kind, fun and competitive, it’s fabulous. I love working with them to put together their amazing events and I love that I’m helping pull people together to have a good time and get outside.

What are some of your other hobbies?

Cycling. It takes up most of my time. I train 5-6 days a week year round. My next race is in Poland on 1st September, Gran Fondo World Championships where I will be representing Great Britain. Outside of cycling, I love to travel, and I love to be with Rob⁠—  thankfully the two go hand in hand. He has completely changed my life and opened my eyes to anything being possible. You only live once, make the most of it and make changes if you aren’t happy.

Famous last words?

Think I just said them above, oops.

Stay tuned to get to know more members of the team!

Introducing NEW Flat Friends Badges! (Plus Sale!)

Meet Munzee Munzday: Dylan

Here at Munzee we’re constantly encouraging our players to meet and greet and build the personal relationships that make this game so great. Today we have the chance to get to know Dylan, the behind the scenes man who makes many fantastic aspects of Munzee possible. If you’ve been following us for a while, you might remember his 2014 Meet Dylan! Let’s see how things have changed since then!

Name and Title:

Dylan Derryberry, Creative Director (dderryberry60)

Where are you from?

I grew up in McKinney, TX as part of Munzee’s farm team long before they knew they’d need me.

Tell us about yourself:

Looks like a lot has changed since the last time I did this. I’m only slightly more humble than my previous Meet Munzee Munzday would suggest, but alongside my two corgis, the family has also grown to include a loving pibble named Dean, and my five year old daughter Etta. With the help of my wife and FT teammate Wylie, I try and juggle the family at home as well as at the one at office.

A very Derryberry Christmas card

I grew up in North Texas playing hockey, and then I took my talents to Glenwood Springs, CO followed by Lawrence, KS to get a little bit o’ learning under my belt before jumping into the working world. I studied Journalism at the University of Kansas, and I was pretty dead set on pursuing a career in that field. Life had other plans, but luckily my skills as a writer alongside a stellar cover letter led me to an opportunity with Munzee. Now five years later I’m doing a bit less writing, but working with a great team to take location-based gaming to the next level.

How long have your worked for Munzee?

I’ve worked for Munzee for five years, the last two of which have been with Freeze Tag. As Creative Director I bridge the gap between gameplay and development. So more or less I help Rob’s crazy ideas come to fruition and hopefully keep Daniel Fischer from getting too overworked.

How did you find Munzee?

After college I moved back home to write for a local news organization as a sports reporter focused on the city’s high school teams. Unfortunately that publication shut down a few months into my time there, which left me looking for work with a kid on the way. Upon picking up my last paycheck, I asked my editor for a letter of recommendation and she let me know that a gaming company in town was looking for a writer. As it turns out they weren’t, and I never got that letter of recommendation, but after a coffee meeting led to a lunch meeting, I was welcomed in as the sixth member of the Munzee team. Five years later and I’m still learning new things about this game and industry every day.

What do you enjoy most about Munzee?

My favorite aspect of Munzee is the versatility of gameplay options. Whether you strictly stick to Greenies, or focus on completing your Bouncer collection, Munzee gets players moving in one way or another. As part of the gameplay team we’re always trying to come up with new, exciting, and sometimes weird, aspects we can bring into our game. Location-based games have become much more popular in recent years so we’re constantly learning what works (and what doesn’t) for our worldwide community.

What are some of your other hobbies?

In what little free time I have I like to watch movies, work on craft projects, read (not nearly as much as I should), and prepare for the family’s annual Christmas card. I think it’s in poor taste to ask what someone’s favorite movie is (how do you pick just one?) but I float between campy horrors, indie rom coms, and comic book movies.

Famous last words?

“There are wood ships, there are steel ships, but the best ships are friendships.” – Ghandi, probably

Introducing the All NEW Nymph Mythological Munzee!

Did you notice something slinking through the forest? It might be our all new Nymph Mythological Munzee, which will be available for sale tomorrow at 10:00 MHQ time for 24-hours only!

Nymph Details

The Nymph Mythological Munzee will be available for purchase in the Freeze Tag Online Store on August 8 at 10:00 MHQ time. Pick yours up HERE, because they will only be in stock until 10:00 MHQ time on Friday, August 9! Our latest Myth will be spotted bouncing around to Greenies, Earth Mystery Munzees, and 4 shades of Brown Virtuals every 12 hours or when capped.

Each Nymph is numbered and will be owned by a Munzee player. You can pick this Myth up for only $15! Just be sure to set your reminders for 10:00 MHQ time tomorrow to snag one! The sale is open to anyone regardless of other Mythological ownership. Only ONE (1) Nymph Munzee is allowed per account.

Points

  • Deploy: 250
  • Capture: 200
  • CapOn: 100

Since the Nymph is listed a lower price point than some of the other Myth Munzees, it will not include the ability to “nudge” or be renamed. With the usage of a Bouncer Upgrade Credit, you will be able to give nudge and renaming abilities to your Nymph, as well as the ability to land on shades of Green Virtual Munzees. This new upgrade feature will make the Nymph more likely to be captured, with 9 additional colored virtual landing pads being added. You can find the full list of what the Nymph bounces to below.

The upgrade credit will also give you the ability to “nudge” your Nymph Munzee to a new munzee up to three times a day, following the MHQ 24-hour day, after it has been on its host munzee for at least three hours. This nudging ability is only available for the owner via the munzee’s webpage and is not available in the app.

Your munzee will still retain its unique number, but feel free to get creative when it comes to renaming your Nymph Munzee! Just be sure to follow the Player Code of Conduct, and remember Munzee maintains a family-friendly environment.

Nymph Munzees will land on:

  • Greenies
  • Earth Mysteries
  • Brown Virtual Munzees
    • Virtual Mahogany Munzees
    • Virtual Chestnut Munzees
    • Virtual Tumbleweed Munzees
    • Virtual Raw Sienna Munzees
    • Virtual Brown Munzees
  • *Green Virtual Munzees (*ONLY if upgraded)

    • *Virtual Olive Green Munzees
    • *Virtual Yellow Green Munzees
    • *Virtual Green Yellow Munzees
    • *Virtual Spring Green Munzees

If you’re hoping to cap one of these brand new Myths, then you’re in luck! The Nymph will be attracted to Munzee Magnets and Virtual Munzee Magnets. You can access the Nymph by turning on your “Only Expiring Specials” and “Only Mythological” filters.
