Lone Star Bash Gallery

It’s hard to believe that Lone Star Bash was over a week ago! Once again, thank you to all those who participated in one way or another. It was an amazing weekend, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Also, thank you to everyone who submitted pictures for the Lone Star Bash gallery. We’ve chosen some of the best, and put them below. If you still have pictures you want to submit, feel free to upload them to the Google Drive folder. We’ll update it once more at the end of the week.

Enjoy, and Munzee on!

Lone Star Bash Wrap Up

Well Lone Star Bash is over now, and we had a great time. Team Munzee would like to thank everyone who participated, whether it was by attending the events, deploying for others, or interacting with us in other ways. We couldn’t do what we do without you. As Dylan said during his toast on Saturday night at TUPPs, “There are wood ships, and there are steel ships, but the best ships are friendships.” Cheesy? Very. True? Absolutely. The Munzee community brings people from all around the world together and creates lasting friendships. All of us are thankful for the friends that we’ve gained through Munzee, and we’re overjoyed to see the friendships that are created throughout the community.

The weekend was full of great events and great people. From Friday at the State Fair of Texas to Sunday at Celebration Park, there was never a shortage of munzees to cap or fun to be had. We enjoyed every minute of it and hope those in attendance did, too.

There are a few things to note:

Announcements/introductions that were made during Lone Star Bash will be announced on the blog this week.
If you have pictures from this weekend, don’t forget to add them to the Google Drive folder so we can add them to our gallery.
If you did attend Lone Star Bash, keep an eye out for the survey we will be sending out. We’re always looking for feedback to make our events better.

Once again, thank you. You are the reason we do what we do, and we’re proud of how the game and community continues to strengthen and grow. We’re already excited for next year’s event.

Munzee on!

P.S. – If you haven’t seen the video of Rob getting taken down by Robbie during Bubble Soccer (or just want to watch it on a loop), you can check out the video on our Instagram.

Munzee’s Birthday and MHQ Bash 3

Yesterday we posted about Easter and Spring events. We’ve got some pretty big events this year, too, though. Here’s some information regarding Munzee’s 5th Birthday and MHQ Bash 3.

Munzee’s 5th Birthday

It’s hard to believe it’s been 5 years. We couldn’t have gotten to this point without our amazing players, and we can’t thank you enough. We want to spread the celebration, though, so we’re taking our birthday party on the road! This year, we’ll be celebrating Munzee’s 5th birthday in Denver, Colorado! We’re still finalizing details, but members of Team Munzee will be in Denver from June 30th through July 4th. We’ll be posting more information as the time draws closer, but we’ve got events on the calendar so you can let us know you’ll be there!

MHQ Bash 3

MHQ Bash kicked off an annual tradition of getting involved with our community and players on a face-to-face, personal level. We grew upon that to make MHQ Bash 2 bigger and better. We’re continuing that with MHQ Bash 3 this year! We invite everyone to come hang out with us for a weekend of Munzee fun on October 7th, 8th, and 9th here in McKinney, Texas. Events are already on the calendar, and we’ll be posting full information regarding locations and packages soon.

We’re extremely excited to meet new people and see old friends at these events! We hope to see you there! Munzee on!

Announcing the #DontTellRob Sale!

Rob has gone missing!

Well not really. Our faithful Munzee President Rob Vardeman is just taking a much needed vacation and left the rest of us in charge. So while Rob is away, MHQ will play! The power has gone to our heads though, and we’ve decided to have a #DontTellRob sale in the Munzee store all week. Starting NOW until Saturday at midnight MHQ Time we’ll have exclusive sales on a variety of items. Get to the store now, before Rob finds out!

Flat Rob Pins

Flat Bob had his fun masquerading around for Eventzee, but now Flat Rob is taking his rightful place on the Munzee map. Flat Rob pins will be virtual munzees available for $5 in the online store until Saturday at 23:59 MHQ time. Once they’re gone, they won’t be available for purchase until Rob leaves again- and he doesn’t do that very often!

These unique virts can be deployed anywhere without having to worry about proximity to other types of munzees. Proximity rules will be in effect regarding other Flat Rob pins (i.e. 50ft between other players’ deploys). These munzees will earn you 19 points for deploy and a 76 point split for capture and cap-on. You’ll also get a badge for capping or deploying a Flat Rob.

There’s a slight catch, though. Flat Rob pins can only be deployed and captured while Rob is out of the office (vacations, Munzee events, holidays, etc). So make sure you deploy these pins before Saturday. These will count toward personal streaks and can be capped by a blast cap.

Be sure to share your Flat Rob location on social media and include the #DontTellRob hashtag as well. So let’s see Flat Rob all across the map until the real Rob gets back on Saturday!

These are available for purchase and will be visible on the map until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

Bejeweled

Hot off the heels of the Family Jewels Badge we have a Jewel Credit Pack available in the store for $15. These four jewel credits would normally cost you $21- so it’s like getting an Amethyst for free! Who could pass up that offer?

This includes:

1 Diamond credit
1 Ruby credit
1 Aquamarine credit
1 Amethyst credit.

This is available until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

Blast Off

Starting today you will be credited a free Blast Capture for spending $50 or more in the Munzee store. So bombs away!

This is available until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

Surprise Sacks

Starting Wednesday Oct. 28th at 09:00 MHQ time, randomized Virtual Grab Bags will be available in the Munzee store. These grab bags will be $15 for a minimum of $20 value.

Items that they may include are:

Blast Captures
Virtual Colors
Hotels
Motels
Jewels (Diamond, Ruby, Aquamarine, Amethyst)
Socials
Secure Socials
Rovers

To top it off, random purchases will be chosen to receive Double Grab Bags which feature double the goods!

This is available until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

So get to the store and remember, #DontTellRob! Let’s give him a nice surprise when he comes back from a week of rest and relaxation!

MHQ Bash 2015 Update

With less than two weeks until MHQ Bash, we’ve got some updates and new information!

Friday night’s event at TUPPs Brewery is open to all ages, but you must have an ID to enter if you are over 18 even if you aren’t going to be drinking.
Sunday’s brunch will be held at Celebration Park in Allen, Texas. We will be grilling hotdogs and hamburgers and offering Munzee Segway Tours (see below for more information).
We’ve partnered with McKinney Segway Tours to offer Munzee tours by Segway during the weekend. A total of 24 tours will be offered Friday-Sunday. For more information and for tickets, head to our Eventbrite page.
Can you imagine a purple dinosaur? There happens to be one that used to have a show on TV. If you didn’t know, he was created in Dallas, and his show was filmed at multiple locations in the DFW area, one of which was Allen. To commemorate this, we’ve created a small and limited edition *garden in his image in Allen just a few miles away from Celebration Park. All pins in this garden are sold out at this time. Stay tuned for future sales.

If you haven’t purchased your tickets for MHQ Bash yet, there’s still time! Online registration closes on October 7th at 5pm MHQ time, and you will be able to purchase tickets at the door. Don’t miss out!

Clan requirements will be released at 5pm MHQ time today. Here is a sneak peek…family jewels will be very important.

MHQ Bash 2015 Tickets Now Available!

MHQ Bash 2015 will take place on October 9-11, 2015 at MHQ in Downtown McKinney, Texas. This IS NOT the weekend of McKinney Oktoberfest. Instead, this will be hosted the weekend of “Second Saturdays” in Downtown McKinney. These events center around art, music, and wine, so MHQ Bash will take on a similar theme.

There will be four tiers of tickets ranging from free to “All-Access”. Early bird prices are available until September 1st. Prices will go up at 5pm CST on the 1st and will be available until October 7th at 5pm CST. Even if you are only planning on using the free entry, you MUST register for the event. Giveaways will be limited for those who choose to register at the door.

Runzee Beta Testing

We are spreading our Munzee wings and truly taking our 2015 theme, “New Year, New Perspective”, to a new level. We’ve created a game that doesn’t rely on geolocation or the use of a camera. Runzee is a “Runner” game for mobile that you will allow you to collect Munzee pins in a whole new way.

You can watch a preview of gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLaDJ8JkW-A

If you want to follow the development process, you can like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter. The Runzee website will also be updated as more information becomes available.

Thanks!

(CZeeO Note: From 3pm MHQ time Monday, July 20th until 3pm MHQ time Tuesday, July 21st, prizes will be randomly awarded for captures (EXCLUDING socials) and deploys. We can’t thank the Munzee community enough for all of their support!)
