Sweet ZEE-Dayz for Roald Dahl!

Roald Dahl’s works are definitely among our childhood favorites, so for this year’s Roald Dahl Day, we’ve turned it into a week-long celebration! New products and a special badge are available starting today, and tomorrow we’ve got a special boost for Skylands. Read on to get the deets!

NEW Greeting Card

We are happy to announce 1 NEW Limited Edition Greeting Card is available for purchase through Monday, September 20th at 15:00 MHQ! You can pick up Greeting Cards from the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE. You receive multiple munzees from your single purchase. Read the details in the store, or see below.

Tell someone they deserve to eat something tasty with a Sweet Treats Card!

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes to add a personal touch! While the capture message will contain your Munzee username as all Greeting Card capture messages do, we think typing in a more specific note will go a long way to creating a more unique and special experience!

As a refresher, the point structure for Limited Edition Greeting Cards is as follows:

  • Deploy: 60
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 30

Remember that these munzees will be archived 7 days after they are deployed, so make sure your intended recipient captures it before then!

For more information on the Greeting Cards, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Special Urban Camo Packs

We’ve also got a delicious limited-edition pack of Urban Camo Generics available in the Freeze Tag Store! Please note that these are limited to 1 per player, and as they are limited-edition once our current stock is gone, they will be removed from the store.

As you can see in the images above, the pack includes 4 candy-colored designs x 5 = 20 total stickers perfect for a sweet shoppe near you!

10 of these limited-edition packs will contain a special Golden Ticket munzee, which works as follows:

Golden Ticket Sticker
Golden Ticket Munzee Sweet Treats Scatter

The Golden Ticket munzee is a physical game piece. When a Golden Ticket is captured, up to 3 Sweet Treats will scatter nearby, visible only to the capper. The Sweet Treats will be deployed on the Golden Ticket owner’s account! This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The points for these munzees are as follows:

  • Golden Ticket
    • Capture: 64
    • CapOn: 71
    • Deploy: 1,964 (for the year of Dahl’s book)
  • Sweet Treat:
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30

Badges

There are two special badges you can earn:

  • Chance upon deploying a Sweet Treats Greeting Card
  • Chance upon capturing a Sweet Treats Greeting Card
  • Guaranteed upon deploying a Golden Ticket munzee
  • Chance upon capturing a Sweet Treats Scatter

While they will be more difficult to earn once the limited-edition items leave the store, Sweet Treats Greeting Cards can be deployed at any time in the future, and Golden Ticket munzees will be permanent additions to the map. This means there will still be a (very small!) possibility to earn these badges afterwards.

Skyland Boost Details

From the period of Tuesday, September 14th at 00:01 MHQ through Sunday, September 19th at 23:59 MHQ, enjoy increased capacity and double points on Skylands!

They’ll be able to hold up to 10 bouncers instead of the usual 6, and deploy/capture/capon points for the Skyland — NOT the bouncers it holds — will be doubled!

Want to spread the sugary goodness with more Skylands or any of the other items mentioned above? You can shop the entire collection HERE!

We hope you indulge your sweet tooth this week!

Munzee on!

Head Into the Unknown With a NEW Elemental!

Last year we revived the Elemental line with the popular addition of the Electric Mystery, the ability to magnetize Elementals, new Tree Scatters, and updated artwork! This year we wanted to continue balancing out the available types by introducing another virtual Elemental.

We are happy to announce the Void Mystery is now available for purchase and all Premium Members have been given 1 Void Mystery for free! You can pick up the Void Mystery from the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE.

Void Mystery Munzee Details

As mentioned above, the Void Mystery joins the Air and Electric Mysteries as a virtual type. Once the Void Mystery is captured, it will scatter up to 3 Black Holes onto nearby Virtual Colors, similar to how the current Physical Elementals work.

Then, similar to the Earth Mystery’s Trees, Black Holes will scatter up to 3 more munzees, which will change (loosely) according to the Lunar Cycle. This means from the 1st to the 15th of each month, the scatters from Black Holes will be as shown above. Then, from the 16th to the end of the month, these scatters will swap out for 3 new types, which we’ll keep a secret for now. Please note that the Lost Sock scatter is physical, so it will scatter to nearby Greenies, while the other two will scatter as newly created munzees, like Feathers.

The points for all these munzees are as follows:

  • Void Mystery
    • Deploy: 50 points
    • Capture/CapOn: Split of 60 points with 10 point minimum
  • Black Hole
    • Capture: 50 points
    • CapOn: 10 points
  • Black Hole Scatters
    • Capture: 25 points

Void Mysteries, Black Holes, and Black Hole scatters all have a capture radius of 300 ft and are not blastable. You may, however use Rover Treats to capture the latter two (with the exception of the physical scatters)! To access the Void Mystery, turn on your “Virtual – Mysteries” filter. For more information on the Void Mystery, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Like the other Elementals, Void Mysteries can be magnetized with Virtual Magnets. From our current Bouncing Munzee roster, the following can be attracted to Void Mysteries:

  • Pegasus
  • Banshee
  • Witch Banshee
  • Vampire Nymph
  • Lycanthrope Yeti
  • Cthulu Hydra
  • Mother Earth
  • Pimedus

Badges

There are currently 9 badges you can earn, split into 3 different badge lines. These are based on:

  • Deploying Void Mysteries
  • Capturing Void Mysteries
  • Capturing Black Hole scatters

You can see the first badge for the first two lines below — we want to keep the requirements for the third line a secret:

We hope the Void has piqued your curiosity — after all you never know what may come out of a black hole!

Munzee on!

Premium Memberships Available In-App, and MORE!

This update, 4.1.117, has been in the works for quite some time now — if you don’t see it in the App Stores yet, please check back again later! There’s a lot of changes we’d like you to know about, so make sure to read all the way until the end! You never know when this knowledge may come in handy!

Premium Memberships

The main goal for this update is to expand your options with Premium Memberships. While the Premium Membership available in our official Freeze Tag Online Store is still the best value, the new Monthly Premium Membership offers a bit more flexibility!

Please note if you are already a Premium Member, you won’t see the new Premium Membership options in the In-App Store, until your membership expires.

There are a few things we’d like you to note about the Monthly Premium Membership:

  • at $2.99 a month it will cost slightly more than the Yearly Membership ($29.99 a year) per month — a whopping $0.49 more — so if you’re buying it more than 10 times a year, it would be in your best interest to upgrade to a Yearly Membership.
  • it will NOT include the following items that are part of the Yearly Membership:
    • 1 Premium Munzee
    • 1 Blast Capture
    • 2 Virtual Munzees
    • 2 Color Credits
    • 1 Flat Rob
    • 1 Butterfly Evolution
  • it WILL include all the in-app features that are part of the Yearly Membership:
    • Premium Filters
    • Filter Presets
    • Daily Leaderboard
    • Titles
    • Ability to upload Photos
    • Ability to create Clans
    • etc.!
  • it WILL also include the following items on the 15th of each month:
    • 110 Zeds
    • 1 QRowbar

For your convenience, the Yearly Premium Membership has also been added to the In-App Store. It is exactly the same as the one available in the Freeze Tag Store — use whichever option you like!

Please note that for both the Monthly and Yearly Premium Memberships available in-app, they are set to auto-renew. If you are planning to cancel, make sure to do so at least 24 hours before the same date next month. We’ve added two ways in the app where you can check this:

  • Tap on the Premium Star in your Profile
  • Navigate to the [Help & Info] section

Lastly, as both the Monthly and Yearly Premium Memberships available in-app have a built-in 7-Day Free Trial, we will no longer be giving new accounts 7-Day Free Trials automatically on sign-up. This probably doesn’t affect most of you who’ve been playing Munzee for a while, but we thought it would be helpful for you to know in case you were planning to introduce Munzee to new players.

Other Changes

We’ve also squeezed in some fixes and improvements to other parts of the app, but the main one we wanted to bring to your attention is the Fitness section. Both Apple and Google Play are requiring us to confirm that we only want access to non-sensitive step data — which has always been the case with our Fitness section — but some additional updates were needed to make sure that we comply with their updated rules and regulations. We will post another update letting players know once we hear back and when this should be resolved. In other words, we have a few more steps to take before we can count yours!

We hope this update brings some changes you were looking forward to, or, at the very least, runs smoothly for you! If you find that you are experiencing any issues, please let us know at support@munzee.com!

Munzee on!

A New Gaming Munzee Fit For a Queen!

We have a special announcement for MunzPak subscribers, as the September MunzPaks will feature the brand new Chess Set Munzees! It will be available in Virtual and Hybrid MunzPak subscriptions, which you can order in the Freeze Tag Online Store beginning on September 1 at 00:01 MHQ time (remember if you order a MunzPak before then, you will be ordering the August one!). You can also purchase these munzees by themselves or in a few Gaming Packs HERE!

Chess Sets

This new munzee type is based on the classic game of chess, which has recently enjoyed an increase in popularity due to the Netflix show, The Queen’s Gambit. Chess Sets come in both Walnut (physical) and Maple (virtual) forms, though both forms work similarly and are worth the same point values.

The point values for the Chess Sets are as follows:

Points 

  • Cap: 64
  • CapOn: 30
  • Deploy: 50

Maple Chess Sets are not blastable. To access these munzees (including the scatters), turn on their filters in the “Physical – Gaming” and “Virtual – Gaming” sections.

Chess Pieces

Capping a Chess Set will cause up to three Chess Pieces to scatter nearby, like Feathers, within 1500 feet. This means there are no CapOn points, but if you’re lucky, you’ll get the rarer pieces — the point values for all of them are shown below! They’ll stay on the map for 2 hours after scattering. The capture radius is 300 feet for these, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well! These can only be seen by the person who capped the Chess Set, similar to Infrared Munzees.

The point values for the Chess Pieces are as follows:

  • Pawn: 10
  • Knight: 30
  • Bishop: 30
  • Rook: 50
  • Queen: 90
  • King: 100

Badges

There are currently 9 badges you can earn by playing with our Chess Sets, split into 2 different badge lines. One badge line, which covers 6 of those badges, is based on the number of points you’ve earned with Chess Sets and Chess Pieces. You can see the first badge in this line below:

Priority Pawn – Earn 1,000 Total Points from Chess Set Munzees of any type.

The remaining 3 badges are based on capturing a specific combination of Chess Pieces. Since these badges have special requirements we’d like you to discover as you play, we want to keep them a secret for now. Hopefully they shouldn’t be too tough for you to get!

We hope you are raring to get some pieces on the board!

Munzee on!

August Garden Gnome Reminder + September Preview!

As the month comes to a close, we wanted to make sure you were heading into September with your desired Garden Gnomes! The skin for completing your August capture streak (and the corresponding badge) will be awarded in early September, but we couldn’t wait to share what’s in store!

August Garden Gnome Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Garden Gnome yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $5.

Each month, the price of a Garden Gnome will decrease by $1. However, players can only purchase 1 Garden Gnome every 28 days.

If you’re planning to complete the capture streaks for each month (and made the initial purchase in January) you’ll have 12 different skins to choose from! So be sure to purchase one each month so you can have a complete bench of these athletic Garden Gnomes!

We also released special Reseller Garden Gnomes in March — if you’re interested, you can check out our blog post on them HERE!

September Garden Gnome Details

What Gnome Skin can you look forward to receiving in September? The playmaking Football Garden Gnome! Like the other gnomes, the Football Garden Gnome is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until 23:59 MHQ on December 31.

As stated earlier, to earn this skin, you’ll need to have completed this month’s (August’s) capture streak. Once the skin is awarded in September, you can change the skin on the gnome to this one at any point — refer to our original blog post for the instructions!

Points

  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300

You can find these tough tacklers sprinting to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Football Garden Gnome will scatter up to 3 NEW Gnome Touchdown Toppers nearby when it is captured!

Like the other Gnome Hats, the Gnome Touchdown Topper will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Gnome owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These hat scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Gnome Hats are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

The Football Garden Gnome will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Football Garden Gnomes on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Football Garden Gnome visits you. Football Garden Gnomes are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Football Garden Gnomes by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

As a reminder, Garden Gnomes have 4 associated badge lines:

  • Unique type deploy badges — you’ll need to earn each month’s skin by keeping your streak up!
  • Overall deploy badges — the more gnomes you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned gnome!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many gnomes as you can find!

While we revealed images for the first of each badge line in the original post, we are happy to show you the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with the Football Garden Gnome:

We hope you don’t fumble your chances of earning September’s Gnome Skin! Don’t forget to keep your streak up through September — you’ll need to in order to earn the October Gnome Skin!

Munzee on!

September 2021 Clan Wars Requirements

It’s almost September! You’ll find all the latest details to our clan requirements and rewards in the clan section of our app. There have been a few issues with activity not counting for some players in the opening minutes of the clan war. Please be sure to give our servers a bit of time to switch from Clan Wars OFF to Clan Wars ON. 🙂 This will ease frustration, just 10 or 15 minutes will make all the difference. We’re happy everyone is so anxious to get started on the 3rd of each month!

It is possible that we could update clan requirements prior to September 3 and reserve the right to do so. The final requirements and rewards will always be shown in the app. All of this is up in the air based on how situations continue to change worldwide based on COVID-19.

September ClanPak

September Badges

Your Clan can earn monthly badges to earn for reaching distinct levels of Clan Wars each month. You won’t be able to earn a badge until the entire clan has reached the specified level. Since there is NO Level X this month, there will be a total of 5 badges available in September. The first badge will appear as follows:

NEW Badge Line

Remember the badge line we mentioned with the release of the Shield? You can see what the first badge in that line looks like below! It is based on the number of times you forge Clan Weapons using Weapon Shards, and/or the number of times you deploy Clan Weapons. As some players have quite a few Clan Weapon deploys under their belt already, we decided not to make this badge line fully retroactive — only up until the launch of the Shield, which was 12:00 MHQ on August 17, 2021.

Overall Clan Notes:

Please keep in mind Levels 4 & 5 are considered advanced gameplay and not recommended for brand new players. Be aware when allowing new players to join your clans. QRew/ZeeQRew status will be required for any clans earning levels 3, 4 & 5. See qualifications for ZeeQRew here. If you are not a member on September 1st you will not be able to qualify until September 15th. If you lose qualification before the 15th you will not be able to qualify until October 1st.

*Claimed QRates will not carry over from before the clan battle starts. The QRate must be found, opened, and claimed during the month of the current clan battle. This time period begins on the 3rd, same as the clan battle.

*All shards may be redeemed at https://www.munzee.com/redeem
Total points include Cap, Deploy, and CapOn of all types.
Reseller caps/deploys include all types of RUM/vRUM/reseller card but NOT reseller gnomes or any scatters.
Bouncer captures include any POB, MOB, or TOB (even the temporary POB).
Social and Personal will not count for Deploy requirements.
Social and Universal will not count for total Capture requirements.
Personal and Universal will not count for Physical points of any sort.

For complete information regarding Clan Wars, access our Help Guide!

Hints for how to play during Stay Home orders:
Use the swap feature for brand new virtual deploys.
Use the online map to deploy virtuals worldwide or find gardens to deploy in on social media groups.
Watch the online store for sales during the month to help meet your goals.
Use evolution reset credits to get new CapOn points from OLD deploys (they do NOT count as new deploys)

And finally, be responsible. If your local government, your health, or any circumstances require you to Stay Home – DO NOT participate. It is up to each of us to determine what is safe and what is allowed. This is a game and not worth risking your own live or the lives of others.
Munzee on, stay safe and Play Your Way!

Requirements and rewards found in app are the final word. Please report any issues to Munzee support.
Play at your own risk, within the laws of your local area.

August 2021 GOTM Winners

August is typically a slower month for us, as we’re coming off of a very busy birthday month and are usually heads-down planning for all the usual stuff, plus MHQ Bash. However, as you know, this year instead of celebrating MHQ Bash as we usually do, we are postponing it to next year (fingers crossed), so we are hoping to keep the excitement and anticipation building with the Time Capzule, which was released earlier in the month.

Then we had a fun couple of Flat-filled weeks with Flat Disc Golf Scatters and Flat Day the 13th Part 4, which brought some new Greeting Cards to go along with it!

Most recently, we’ve had a week of Reseller ZEE-Dayz, put the finishing touches on the Shield, and unleashed the Bow Tie specials! The month isn’t over yet, so who knows what else we have planned?

We are now happy to announce the winners of the August Gardens of the Month (GOTM)! The badges will be awarded by early September, but we couldn’t wait to share the winners we’ve chosen!

August GOTM

Our picks for this month may have been influenced by back-to-school time, since they are definitely linked to the sciences! Remember that 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. This month we’re happy to award the Charles Darwin Garden, designed by paupau and the Cape Canaveral Hummingbird Garden, designed by SpaceCoastGeoStore as our winning August GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Charles Darwin Garden by paupau in Bielefeld, Germany

While the colors of this garden are quite muted — almost blending in with the map and app UI — the well-executed variations in color give it a polished look!

We were seriously impressed by this portrait-style garden! A lot of thought was put into its planning — its spreadsheet encourages players to deploy Evolutions in the area south of the garden, and it is fittingly located near Bielefeld University.

Cape Canaveral Hummingbird by SpaceCoastGeoStore in Cape Canaveral, FL

This garden’s lovely colors were achieved with a unique combination of Munzee types — Jellyfishes, Electric Mysteries, Virtual Clovers, Virtual Resellers, Citrines, Onyxes, Surprises, and of course, Virtual Colors!

Here’s a note from a player who nominated this garden:

I think the design is straightforward, but the use of the various contrasting types of Munzees really make it pop. It goes to show you that you don’t need a 1,000 pin behemoth to have an effective garden.

We also enjoy that it makes use of Jellyfish Evolutions, which make it the perfect mate to the Charles Darwin garden!

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

Can You Fix Our Ties?

For this set of specials, we wanted to try something a little different — instead of starting them around the special day we’re celebrating, we are having them lead up to the day — kind of like our delayed MHQ Bash we’re hoping to have next year in May (? fingers crossed!). So, as Bow Tie Day is on the 28th, starting at 12:00 MHQ today, Bow Ties will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on August 29th.

A total of 704 Bow Tie specials will be unleashed! That breaks down into 88 of each of the 8 bow ties. They will bounce around every 4 hours or when capped.
