Introducing the Timeshare Munzee!

Howdy folks! Rockin’ Rob Vardeman has a special opportunity for YOU to be a part of the Royal Zee Travel family. We’re excited to announce the latest in our line of Destination Munzees: The Timeshare Munzee!

The new Timeshare Munzee is the latest in our Destination line of munzees alongside the Motel, Hotel and Virtual Resort. This physical credit item features 5 Rooms so the first 5 players to cap the Timeshare get a room deployed. Here’s the kicker though, Rooms only stay deployed for 30 days!

At the end of 30 days the rented room is archived and a new room is then available for the first player to cap the Timeshare. This new room will be available for any player including the person who just had their room archived, which means after 30 days you can recap to earn another room.

Proximity: A Timeshare must be at least 2000 feet away any other Timeshares and 500 feet away from other Destination Munzees.

Rooms: There are 5 rooms available in the Timeshare. After 30 days a rented room will be archived and a new room will open up.

Deploy: 100 points for the owner of the Timeshare, 5 points for the renter of the room

Capture: You can earn 25 points and then 10 points per room rented.

CapOn: 25 points for the owner of the Timeshare and 10 points for the renter of room

Release: The Timeshare will be a MunzPak exclusive for the month of May. Each MunzPak subscriber will receive three (3) Timeshare credits with their May MunzPak. To sign up visit munzpak.com.

NOTE: If you’re not currently a MunzPak subscriber and want to get the Timeshare you need to signup on May 1st to receive the May shipment. If you are interested in April’s MunzPak you can subscribe now to receive this month’s shipment and then change your billing date on May 1st to receive May’s shipment.

We’re also releasing two new lines of totally tubular Timeshare Badges you can earn by deploying and renting rooms.

We’re excited to see where everyone starts deploying their new Timeshares and thank you all once again for helping grow the game in new and unique ways!

Munzee on!

UPDATE: These are being launched in the May PHYSICAL MunzPak only. They are a physical type credit.

ZeeOps: April Missions

In March we kicked off ZeeOps and for the last month our players have taken down the Mean Green Gang and stopped their giant jewel-powered laser! An agent’s job is never done though, so prepare for another month of twists and turns.

The Mean Green Gang is using Top Secret Fire and Ice technology to wreak havoc across the world and it’s up to you to stop them. Certain Missions this month will require you to capture and deploy Fire and Ice Mystery Munzees. Your success in stopping the Mean Green Gang’s continued attacks has caught the eye of a mysterious group known only as R.U.M.

On behalf of MHQ, we thank you for your continued service.

Join Rob and Garfield in Munzee, IN!

Munzee is turning 6 this year! To celebrate we are taking over Muncie, Indiana and turning it into Munzee, Indiana! Join Rob the weekend of July 21st for a number of fun events including a trip to the Delaware County Fair! Rob will also be visited by a certain fat cat who is pretty popular around those parts.

We’re pleased to announce that special Garfield icons will be exclusively available in Muncie, Fairmount (the hometown of Garfield creator and cartoonist Jim Davis) and other areas of Grant County.

Some of these munzees will mark the locations of Garfield statues in the area. Located in Marion, Indiana and surrounding Grant County cities, the fiberglass statues each measure approximately five feet in height and depict Jim Davis’s Garfield in hilarious costumes or situations. Learn more about the official Grant County Garfield Trail HERE! 

A Munzee (and possibly Eventzee) trail will be placed to coincide with this and launched during the birthday weekend!

Keep a lookout for more details about the weekend of events on the Calendar in the near future, but start planning your trip to the Midwest now!

We’ll also have more information regarding all of the 6th Birthday worldwide festivities soon, but you can be sure that it will be a BAM! of a time, even if it is a bit DRAWN out!

Special thanks to PAWS Inc. for permission to use the likeness of Garfield in the Munzee game.

Goodbye Mystery, Hello Mini!

We love all of our different types of Munzees, but sometimes, you just have to let go and make changes. In that spirit, we say out with the old and in with the new! It’s time for the mystery sticker to retire. Welcome the new and improved mini mystery sticker!

retiredmysteryEach sticker is a generic code to be used/shared by the purchaser. On deploy, the owner receives 25 points. Each capture will yield 10 cap on points for the owner while the player who captures will receive a mystery number of points from 5-50 in multiples of 5. The icon remains the same as the original mystery, and only the points and the size of the sticker have changed. Mystery fields will now include mini mystery stickers as well.

(Note: Rob wanted to help out the media team and designed an image for the event.)

Birthday Surprise From Eventzee!

It’s always fun to celebrate your birthday with family. This year, Munzee is lucky enough to be able to do that. Our sibling app, Eventzee, has surprised us and our players. Instead of their EventzeeBirthdayBadgeusual Weekend Warriors Photo Hunt, they’ll be hosting a Munzee Birthday-themed photo hunt. Not only will participants have the opportunity to win Munzee prize packs for placing first, second, or third in the hunt, they’ll also be able to earn a prize pack for having the most pictures submitted to the photo gallery. All participants will also earn the Birthday Badge from Eventzee.

For more information about the hunt and it’s prizes, check out Eventzee’s blog post and get ready! Also, keep an eye out for more birthday surprises during the month.

Munzee 3.0 Beta Testing

We are excited to start the process of publicly testing Munzee 3.0. It has been a long road so far, but we are very excited to be at the point for our players to start testing it out. It is a complete rewrite of the app for both iOS and Android, and it should be great for new users along with seasoned veterans of the Munzee game.

We are going to use HockeyApp to ensure that distribution of the app is handled properly. To apply to be a beta tester, please click the link below to start the process. You MUST create a HockeyApp account (which is different than your Munzee account).

iOS – https://rink.hockeyapp.net/recruit/792cfa88924249b4b9370b8546d6097b
Android – https://rink.hockeyapp.net/recruit/03dae26b83e64eda89b7d1123c8412d4

The goal is to have the first beta sent to the approved beta testers on July 9th. You will have until July 14th to use Munzee 3.0. Once that period is over, the app will no longer work, and we are going to take ALL of your Feedback to make the app even better. We will have a second and maybe third round of tests to ensure that we make the best possible Munzee app.

On July 9th, we will also launch a way to handle all the feedback. There will be more information about that date. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! THIS IS THE POINT OF BEING A BETA TESTER!

Thank you for playing Munzee and we can’t wait for you to start trying out Munzee 3.0!

4th Birthday Month Specials

The time to celebrate Munzee’s birthday has come again! As we mark our 4th birthday, we want to reward our players for all of their support in helping this game grow and become so much more than we thought it could be when we started. If you thought #FiestaThree was big, we can’t wait for you to see what we’ve got planned. Also, keep in mind that we like to celebrate on relevant numbered days, so watch out for days with 4 in them. Now on to the details.4thBday_720

What’s a birthday party without cake? Starting tomorrow, there will be 444 birthday cakes on the map at any time. They can be seen at www.munzee.com/birthday during the month. These cakes will only land on greenies not in maintenance mode (if a Munzee goes into maintenance mode while a cake is on it, it will bounce to another Munzee), and bounce every 12 hours.

Each cake starts with 4 candles. After each cap, it will lose a candle. After the 4th cap, the cake is gone and another will show up somewhere else. Capture points will be 100, 50, 25, and 20 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cap, respectively. Cap on points will be 4 points each, i.e. 16 total if all are capped. Regardless of capture number, the special icon will be the full cake.

After the first capture of a cake, 4 “pieces of cake” will explode within 44444 feet. Each will provide a special capture and icon. Capture points are 44 and cap on points are 4.

We couldn’t just stop there. July 4th will be a 4x day on greenies and regular/colored virtuals ONLY (not MVM or anything other than regular greenies). This 4x day will include capture, deploy, and cap on points. This will be in effect from 00:01-23:59 MHQ on July 4th.

We’ll have more information about other events throughout the month, so make sure to keep an eye out on the blog and other social media!
