You can read about all of these exciting announcements and more below!

Plus, we told you that there would be something special going on with Unicorns and Dragons during this timeframe, and we didn’t forget!

All activity on Unicorns and Dragons (Myths and Variants) will also be worth double points for Bash weekend, and they will bounce every 6 hours during this timeframe if not capped in order to allow more opportunity for players to pick up points! Don’t forget you can use Magnets to increase your chances of getting these mythical monsters and increased points!

Don’t forget that as of the publication of this blog, our special Pink Peony pins are now being sold in limited quantities as well for a donation to NTFB! We hope these announcements get everyone geared up for a munz-tastic weekend!

A Special Gift for Munzee Players!

Starting tomorrow at 10:00 MHQ time, players who captured a She Said YES bouncing munzee special in August will be awarded one munzee in a special Pink Peony virtual garden! At the same time, there will be an opportunity to purchase a limited quantity of open Peony garden spots from the Freeze Tag Online Store. A portion of these sales will also go to the North Texas Food Bank! Read on to learn more!

A Special Gift

It all started with a special garden! To help Rob pull off one more surprise for Louise, player denali0407 put her garden creating skills to great use to craft a special Pink Peony garden near the Sunday morning MHQ Bash 6 event. The idea behind the garden was to deploy one pin for every person who captured the She Said YES specials in order to surprise Louise with her favorite flower. With over 3,000 captures of the specials, the garden design needed to be quite large, accounting for many of the special Pink Peony colored pins. The garden pins will be awarded tomorrow beginning at 10:00 MHQ time to all players who capped at least one of the She Said YES specials. With 3000+ to be deployed it may take a bit of time for you to see it in your deployed list if you earned one.

There are also a limited quantity of around 500 Pink Peony garden pins available for purchase at 10:00 MHQ tomorrow! You’ll have to act fast to be part of this opportunity, so be sure to keep this link handy for when it goes live! Each spot in the garden will cost $2, with no player purchasing limit. Similar to an Emerald Virtual Garden, you can purchase the pins in the Freeze Tag store and it will automatically be deployed in this garden.

We’ll be donating $500 from the Pink Peony garden pin proceeds to the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB)! As Bash attendees are aware, we’re using this year’s event as an opportunity to join forces with players to give back to the NTFB. Bash attendees will earn 1 spin on the IRL Prize Wheel for every 4 “requested” canned food items they bring to Bash Registration, and now more players will have the chance to give to a good cause. So even if you can’t make it to Texas for MHQ Bash, you can still help families in need by purchasing a Pink Peony garden pin!

It’s sure to be a jam-packed weekend of fun and more surprises for players worldwide!

Munzee on!

Munzee Toolkit Munzday

Munzee Toolkit Munzday: ZeroXC

One of the best parts about Munzee is that you can play how you want. Everyone goes about playing a bit differently, and that leads to some very creative and innovative uses of objects. From containers to bags to maintenance, we always encounter something new when we meet players. We want to showcase your Munzee Toolkits to see how you play the game and possibly even inspire other players who may need help! This week’s featured Munzee Toolkit comes from ZeroXC!

Today’s featured Munzee Toolkit is brought to us by ZeroXC, a player hailing from Vancouver, BC, Canada. ZeroXC has been a dedicated player for nearly three and a half years, earning close to 2 million points thanks to her gameplay strategies. Ready to see what she carries in her Munzee Toolkit?!

ZeroXC Toolkit

I found my “Large Trunk” (pictured below, left) at a grocery store, of all places, in the summer section with the picnic items… possibly for someone on a diet who wants to attend a picnic? ?

The following items (pictured above, right) are carried inside of the “Large Trunk:”

Top, left to right:

  • Homemade black tree tags
  • Gem stickers in the colours of all the Jewels. The gems are for sticking to the back of the homemade tree tag generics to the left of them. When I convert one of the tree tags to a Jewel, I stick the corresponding gem sticker to the back of the tag to make them cute!
  • RUMs and Milk Evos (I keep my drinks together ?)

Bottom, left to right:

  • Elementals (Earth, Ice, Fire, Water)
  • Micro generics
  • Any other special munzees I have, like RPS, Seasonals, Prize Wheels, etc.

I always keep a ton of generics to use with credits, and the actual stickers of munzees I don’t have credits for. That way I can deploy anything I want, whenever I want!

I also carry my tiny backpack, where I keep my trunk. In it I always keep some micro generics in an old Listerine pocket pack container (pictured next to the backpack) for easy access!!

Share Your Kit!

If you have a Munzee Toolkit that you’d like to show off, you can email us at iloveyou@munzee.com with the subject “Munzee Toolkit.” Make sure to include:

  • Your username and where you are from.
  • A few high quality photos.
  • A list of what each item is and how you use it.
  • What made you decide to use those items.
  • Any other relevant details.

Please feel free to include as much information about your gameplay as you wish to share! We want to see your creativity and learn how you play, so show us what you’ve got! And for Munzee tips and tricks, you can always check out our Help Guide articles!

A big Munzee thank you to ZeroXC for sharing her Munzee Toolkit!

What does a Munzee Toolkit look like? A good Munzee Toolkit contains many different compartments that make it easier to keep all of your munzees sorted. Below you can check out a Munzee Toolkit courtesy of MHQ’s own matthewmccann:

In addition to keeping your munzees neat and sorted, Munzee Toolkits such as this make for convenient ways to grab your munzees on the go in order to maximize deploy opportunities. In addition to the physical toolkit box, dedicated players sometimes choose to carry entire bags filled with a variety of handy items that can assist on your Munzee adventures. These items can include anything from packing sunblock for long days of capping and deploying to taking a black pen to help color in faded munzees to cap.

Extended In-App Language Features Are Here!

Hello! Ahoj! Hej! Szia! Hallo! Hei! Munzee is an international game complete with an incredible variety of players from all over the world. One aspect of the newest version of the app that we have been prioritizing is the extended language feature, and today we are happy to announce the inclusion of six additional languages in the Munzee app! 

As of the publication of this blog, we are thrilled to announce the addition of the following language options:

  • Czech
  • Danish
  • Hungarian
  • German
  • Dutch
  • Finnish

In addition to our latest language options, we also have a number of other languages being worked on as well. We hope to release these languages as soon as possible!

Ready to change your language? This very simple process can be done through the Munzee app! Since the update is over-the-air, as long as you have the latest version of the Munzee app, then the language options should automatically appear without needing to download any updates. You will need to force close the app to see the OTA update be installed.

Once you’ve logged into the app, go to your Settings option from the dropdown menu. In Settings you will see the option for languages, where you will be able to select from the seven current languages offered. Be sure to confirm your language switch by pressing “Reload” to apply the change. If you’re more of a visual learner, we put together this Help Guide article to walk you through the process!

Currently we are seeking player translation assistance for the following languages:

  • Lithuanian
  • Afrikaans
  • Portuguese
  • Malay
  • Russian
  • Italian
  • Spanish
  • Swedish
  • French
  • Polish

If you would like to help us translate any of these language options, please email tamara@freezetag.com with the title “Translation Help.” Don’t see your language on the list, send us an email if you’re willing to start the translation project. A huge thank you to all the players who volunteered their time to help us translate the current language options so far!

We hope these language updates will show our international fanbase some love! We appreciate each and every player who helps make Munzee great!

Munzee on!
