These 20/20 Vision Munzees Will Have You Jumping in Your Seat!

With our stay-at-home orders, there’s been a lot more time to catch up on movies we’ve missed, or rewatch old favorites. You may even have some fancy disks that are capable of showing a film in 3D! Our eighth 20/20 Vision Munzee is the perfect pairing to those DVDs or Blu-Rays! These cellophane clarifiers were deployed this afternoon at 15:00 MHQ. Don’t get too immersed into the movie — you might break something!

Only four pairs of 3D Glasses will be deployed, and they will bounce to all colors of virtuals every 12 hours or when captured. These will be attracted to Virtual Magnets though so be sure to stock up!

Points:

Cap: 200 points
CapOn (Host): 100 points

Capturing the 3D Glasses will add this dynamic Flashy film badge to your collection! Remember, down the line we’ll be putting out an overall capture line, so don’t forget to check back for updates!

Similar to our Theater Goggles post, the American Film Institute has created a Movie Club to help you decide what to watch at home! While they are not offering free movie streaming, they do direct you to where you can watch the movies on services you might already be paying for, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+. What are your recommendations for movies to watch in 3D? The quick movements in action movies lend themselves to popping out of the screen, but we’d love to hear of movies from other genres that are enhanced by a 3D viewing as well!

You’ll be able to capture the 20/20 Vision specials on other players’ munzees as well as your own for the remainder of the year! As a reminder, all 20/20 Vision specials will leave the map on 12/31/2020 at 23:59 MHQ. More unique 20/20 Vision specials will launch throughout the year so keep on the lookout — you won’t want to miss out on these trendy lenses!

Show us how you Munzee! Tweet us @Munzee or be sure to post a photo and mention us on Facebook (@Munzee) or Instagram (@munzeeapp). Good luck, and Munzee on!

Munzee Mistakes: How to Munzee from Home!

Last year, we started the Munzee Mistakes series of blog posts using tips from our very helpful and knowledgeable players! As we thought we had done a good job of covering the basics, we started going into more specific territory with the last Munzee Mistakes post. This post is somewhat a return to the origins of Munzee Mistakes, as we’ll be covering the basics of munzee-ing from home. While the core of Munzee gameplay is to visit many locations to either capture or deploy munzees, there is a lot you can do without setting foot outside! Here are some tips from both players and staff that we hope you’ll find useful, quarantine or not!

We posted a call for tips from our players last Saturday, and have compiled them in the list below. Consider these tips while playing to avoid the most common Munzee mistakes! For more, you can see what everyone posted on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

Tip #1: Maximize the munzees you can capture from your house!

Keep proximity requirements in mind, and deploy a variety — both physical AND virtual munzees. You need to be within a certain distance to capture a munzee, and munzees must be deployed a certain distance from other munzees to prevent crowding. Both distances vary by munzee type, but most munzees can be captured from within 300 ft. Some munzee types can be captured from a much further distance — if you don’t know which, read on as specific munzee types are recommended in later tips!

Tip #2: Virtuals are made for at-home Munzeeing!

Deploy a few near your home as well to attract bouncers (and to magnetize if you want to ensure bouncers will land), or if you are feeling social, you can trade deploys with other players! Ask friends or other members of your clan! If you don’t know anyone to ask, there are Facebook Groups made specifically for the purpose of trading virtual deploys with other players — those would be a great place to start!

Tip #3: Did you know you can deploy virtuals from the Munzee website?

This allows you to be very precise as you can enter in a latitude and longitude before deploying!

Tip #4: Deploy in a virtual garden, or create a virtual garden near you!

Don’t think that gardens have to be as large as the ones featured in our GOTM posts — small gardens are just as sweet! If you want a new garden near you but you’re not confident in creating a design, there may be another player who’ll be willing to create one for you — again, Facebook Groups are your friend! Though we heard that Dale of Space Coast Geo Store might create a cookie cutter garden for you if you ask nicely!

Tip #5: Deploy virtual munzees thoughtfully!

If gardens aren’t really your thing but you still want a way to deploy virtual munzees thoughtfully, consider high traffic locations such as airports and tourist attractions (i.e. Disneyland, Las Vegas, etc.). Another factor to consider is future events — check the Munzee Calendar and deploy a temporary virtual or a regular virtual depending on how soon the event is going to take place. Definitely check any notes the host has left to find out if the event will be rescheduled or canceled, so you don’t waste a deploy!

Tip #6: Places Munzees make especially great trades!

You can capture them within a 1,000 ft radius and you can capture them once a day!

Tip #7: Deploy Treehouses and greenies near your home!

Paired with a Physical Magnet, you’ll be able to attract all sorts of bouncers! Your mailbox can be a great spot for this, as it will still be accessible to other Munzee players (one of our rules for Physical Munzees), but will be close enough for you to get to it first most of the time! If you don’t have a mailbox, just look for the nearest street sign! If you are on good terms with your neighbors, you can also ask them for permission to stick a munzee on their mailbox / other parts of their property that are prime sticker locations.

Tip #8: Be consistent in your Munzee play!

If you are an active player, you may notice more bouncers coming your way, without even using a magnet!

Tip #9: Swap certain virtual and physical munzee types for points!

If you need deploy points for Clan Wars, this is a great way to meet that quota without having to scout around for new locations. This swapping is currently only a feature on the Munzee Website, so it’s definitely stay-at-home friendly!

Tip #10: Join the Global QRantine Event!

Munzees deployed by the event account have been “upgraded” so that they can be captured from anywhere in the world — but they function exactly the same way as other munzees of the same types! Here’s one you can capture right now!

Do you have any tips to share? E-mail us at iloveyou@munzee.com! You can also check out our past blogs about 25 master tips, 20 capping tips, 20 deploy tips, and 10 tips for new players. For more tips, be sure to check the blog daily for updates!

A big thanks to all who shared tips, and if you’re a new player, welcome to the Munzee family! As you can see, this is an interactive community in which players help each other master the art of Munzee. We’ve also been updating the Munzee Help Manual, which will feature all of these tips and tricks as well as a comprehensive breakdown of many aspects of gameplay.

Munzee on!

Prank Badges Are Here!

On Wednesday, we announced the debut of Sir Prize Wheel and teased that a new related badge line would be released later in the week. The wait is over! This retroactive line of Prank Badges launches today at 12:00 MHQ time!

We wanted to try something new this time and award badges not only for Captures and Deploys of munzees, but for CapOns as well! So this new line of six Prank badges will be based on overall points instead!

Overall activity on both Surprise Munzees and Sir Prize Wheel Munzees will count toward the first four badges, but the last two badges will only count Sir Prize Wheel points! As these badges are retroactive, you may have already met the requirements for some of them, and should see them on your account soon! If not, please wait a few days as our system catches up with awarding these new badges to everyone who has earned them, before contacting support.

We won’t spoil all of the Pranks, but you can check out the first badge in the line below:

Whoopee Cushion- Earn 1000 combined points from Surprise or Sir Prize Wheel Munzees.

For help earning these badges, always check your local areas, because you never know when a new munzee will be deployed around you. Deploy Surprise and Sir Prize Wheel Munzees around the world, especially for the CapOn rewards! You can shop both in the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE!

We hope you enjoy these new badges!

Happy hunting, and Munzee on!

Keep Up with Munzee News AND Specials Inside the App!

We love how active our player community is, especially on social media, which definitely helps to grow the game! This blog, our social media accounts, and in-app messages, are just some of the many ways we communicate updates to our players.

We’re now making it easier than ever to keep up with all of the latest Munzee news right in the app. With this latest update, we hope to bridge the gap between this living app and you!

NEW What’s New? Section

This new section of the app can be found by tapping the Hamburger Menu icon at the top left corner of most of the app’s screens, then by tapping on [What’s New?] between the [Store] and [Notifications] buttons.

Similar to the Filters section, there are 3 tabs at the top that allow you to switch between the following subsections:

News – shows the most recent blog posts in button form, with the newest at the top of the list. Tapping on any of the buttons will open that blog post in your device’s default browser.
Featured – shows all active Munzee Owned Bouncers (MOBs) AND temporary Player Owned Bouncers (tPOBs) in button form, with the soonest to leave the map at the top of the list. Tapping on any of the buttons will open a window in your device’s default browser showing all the relevant blog posts.
Schedule – shows all active scheduled munzees (Flat Friends, QRewzees, and RetireMyths) in button form, with the soonest to leave the map at the top of the list. Tapping on any of the buttons will open the current schedule for that munzee in your device’s default browser.

When there’s new information released you’ll also see a red icon next to “What’s New?” to let you know there’s been some breaking news! We’re still putting out in-app messages, emails, social posts and more, but this section is meant so players can easily access a collective area for all their Munzee news.

Button Migration

To make room for the [What’s New?] button, we moved the old [Offline Mode] button into the [Tools] section, and renamed it [Offline Queue].

We hope you find this NEW app section useful, whether you’re at home reading the latest blog post or out in the wild hunting the current active MOBs!

Munzee on!

We’re Not Making Googly Eyes at You — It’s Just these 20/20 Vision Munzees!

It’s hard to stay sane when you’re cooped up inside all day! We think the best way to fend off a bout of the QRaZEEs is by staying positive and active. If you are allowed to roam about your neighborhood for some fresh air, you might find a rare surprise waiting for you! Our seventh 20/20 Vision Munzee is guaranteed to elicit some giggles from those who dare to look upon your face! These springy accessories were deployed this afternoon at 15:00 MHQ. Now you’ll really be able to keep an eye on things!

Only four pairs of Joke Glasses will be deployed, and they will bounce to Greenies every 12 hours or when captured. These will be attracted to Physical Magnets though so be sure to stock up!

Points:

Cap: 200 points
CapOn (Host): 100 points

Capturing the Joke Glasses will add this comical Silly Sight badge to your collection! Remember, down the line we’ll be putting out an overall capture line, so don’t forget to check back for updates!

The myriad personality types out there mean there are as many different senses of humor. In recent years, the Dad joke has risen in popularity, but there are still many out there who prefer a more subtle humor. Regardless, it’s hard not to laugh at someone wearing a quality pair of Joke Glasses. We think the beauty lies in the realistic eyeball popping out of the wearer’s face, only to be dragged back up and then back down again due to the attached spring. It’s just so over-the-top that laughing is a gut reaction!

Show us how you Munzee! Tweet us @Munzee or be sure to post a photo and mention us on Facebook (@Munzee) or Instagram (@munzeeapp). Good luck, and Munzee on!

This New Munzee Type is No Joke!

As we enter into our third week of self-quarantine / working from home we at MHQ have been racking our brains to think of more ways to make the game accessible for those who can’t be out and about. From our past surveys, we know that Prize Wheels are quite popular amongst our players, so we decided to introduce a new virtual munzee type inspired by them!

Say hello to the snazziest gameshow host around- Sir Prize Wheel!

We are happy to announce the Sir Prize Wheel Munzee is now available for purchase! In case the name wasn’t obvious enough this new virtual type works like a combination of Surprise and Prize Wheel Munzees. You can pick up 20 Sir Prize Wheel Munzees every 10 days from the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE.

Sir Prize Wheel Munzee Details

The Sir Prize Wheel joins the Gaming Munzees as a virtual type. Once the Sir Prize Wheel is captured, he will award you points and a prize either by adding items to your inventory (like Zeds!) OR scattering a special munzee type nearby, similar to how the current Air Mysteries work. Make sure to read the popup that appears after capturing this munzee carefully so you know what you got! The owner of the munzee also has a chance to receive prizes as part of the CapOn!

Capture Radius: 300 feet, not blastable

Updated addition: Proximity: 300 feet to any other SPW, 150 feet any other type of your own, 50 feet to any other munzee from different owner.

Deploy: 200 points

Capture: 100 points + Random prize

CapOn: 50 points + Random CapOn prize possible

To access the Sir Prize Wheel munzee, turn on your “Virtual – Gaming” filter. To access any scatters, turn on your “All Expiring Specials” filter. For more information on the Sir Prize Wheel Munzee, you can check out our Help Guide article.

As part of this launch we are also adding the Surprise Munzee to the Gaming category, so that is TWO new virtual gaming types! Due to these new types we’ve updated the clan requirements in the app and on the previous blog. The Surprise Munzee also has a new, lower price and you can purchase those HERE! You can also shop the entire Gaming Munzee collection HERE!

Badges

In honor of April Fools Day we will also be releasing a new line of badges in the next week or so! Stay tuned for more information, we promise it’s no joke!

Munzee on!

ZeeOps- Operation: Lockdown (April 2020)

A few weeks ago, we announced that there would be no ZeeOps for the month of March. Like the rest of the world, ZeeOps HQ was caught off-guard by the spread of COVID-19. Agents were ordered to limit their time outdoors and prepare for remote assignments. But things never go as smoothly as we hope. Just as our March missions were ready to be released, a nasty new virus was detected in our computing systems, originating from a simple “Hello World” text file stored on an agent’s computer.

Luckily, Director Zee has successfully recovered thanks to all of your hard work in February and having the month of March off! Though he is a bit shaken from his recent experiences, he is ready to face this new threat and hopes he can rely on your support. While the order to limit your time outdoors is still in place, the staff at ZeeOps HQ have identified some core operations that you’ll be able to complete remotely to help identify the structure of this virtual virus and protect the currently uninfected files. Will you accept these missions?

April Flat Friends and QRewzdays Schedules!

The future is uncertain, but the schedules we have planned for April are a sure thing! These schedules are easy to remember! We hope you’ll enjoy capping these virtual and physical munzees while practicing careful Social DistanZEEing this month! Remember to follow your local guidelines and Stay Home if required.

April Flat Schedule

As we mentioned in March’s schedule, the Flat Friends want to visit as many Fall into Spring events as possible! So instead of being on the map through April 19th, they will now be on the map the entire month! We know many events are delayed further into the future so we’ll continue to monitor each month! Shown in list format, April 2020’s Flat Friends schedules look like:

Flat Matt

Wednesday, April 1st at 00:01 MHQ time through Thursday, April 30th at 23:59 MHQ time

Flat Rob

Wednesday, April 1st at 00:01 MHQ time through Thursday, April 30th at 23:59 MHQ time

Flat Lou

Wednesday, April 1st at 00:01 MHQ time through Thursday, April 30th at 23:59 MHQ time

Flat Hammock

Wednesday, April 1st at 00:01 MHQ time through Thursday, April 30th at 23:59 MHQ time

April QRewsday Schedule

In addition to our Flat Friends schedule, you can mark your calendars for April QRewsdays to earn some QRewzee points! We are living in odd times so we thought it might be nice to have QRewzees on the map a bit more often, but not EVERY day. So we’ve chosen the odd numbered days in the month of April.

The April QRewsdays begin at 00:01 MHQ time through 23:59 MHQ time on the same day and are as follows: April 1, 2 (always have this non-clan day) 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23,25, 27, 29

Remember that QRew and ZeeQRew status can be earned or revoked at 00:01 MHQ time on the 1st and 15th, so plan accordingly if you want to achieve or retain either title!

Munzee on!

April 2020 Clan Wars Requirements

It’s almost April! You’ll find all the details to our clan requirements and rewards in the clan section of our app. This month WILL be different. It is possible that we could update clan requirements prior to April 3 and reserve the right to do so. The final requirements and rewards will be in the app, and will be updated here if anything changes before the 3rd. All of this is up in the air based on how situations continue to change worldwide based on COVID-19. UPDATED BELOW IN RED ON APRIL 1 at 12pm based on player feedback via our contact link and additional updates to the game and worldwide restrictions.

These requirements are written with lower goals, and therefore lower rewards, at all levels. Much of the lower levels this month can be completed from the comfort of your home, which may be required in your local area. Some clans may have to choose for the first time not to go for levels they have achieved in the past. Some players may have to choose to play in new clans, or not at all for upcoming months. We understand the world is in a state of not knowing what the next days, weeks, or months will look like. We will continue to provide opportunities for ALL players to play Munzee their way, while also following our code of conduct.

If Clan Wars won’t work for you this month we hope you will join us for ZeeOps which will be announced on the 31st and begin April 1. We also have a GLOBAL EVENT taking place from April 2-30 with daily deploys for you to find and capture from home. Eventzee will also host a Stay Home able photo scavenger hunt!
