March 2022 GOTM Winners

As we end the first quarter of the year, things are definitely starting to pick up! We started off the month bringing back the limited-time credit program — this month’s incarnation, as you know, is called Sham Rocks! We then kicked off our first ZEE-Dayz of the month for all players, featuring the humble Shamrock Munzee and also the return of St. Patrick’s Day Greeting Cards.

The next week, we launched the cute and colorful Cereal Specials, a pack of St. Patrick’s Day-themed skins, and a NEW Mech purchasable with Sham Rocks!

Just last week, we launched the newest Secret ZeeOps, which, for the first time, includes TWO Mechz as rewards! We also tried out a second ZEE-Dayz, this time specifically for March MunzPak owners, along with the NEW tPOB Pub and Recyclops skin. Most importantly, we announced a new survey we’d like everyone to participate in!

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

March GOTM

Recently we’ve been receiving a lot of nominations for summer-y gardens — at first, this puzzled us, as we are currently experiencing the end of winter here in the states. After realizing where these gardens were located, it made perfect sense — it’s summer on the other side of the world! 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 Nessie in Grenaa garden, designed by MetteS for Henning49, and the Palmuranta garden, designed by tartu61 and enkku, as our winning March GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Nessie in Grenaa by MetteS for Henning49 in Grenaa, Denmark

Indeed, as the nominator mentioned, you can see that this garden is along a river. It covers 3 bus stops!

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

This beautiful garden is perfect for the city of Grenaa. It is by the sea, and this sea monster is making its way up the stream from the sea to the main city.

We thought this garden was a fun twist on the typical St. Patrick’s day theme! The Loch Ness Monster hails from Scotland, but there’s no denying its similarities with the Irish Oillipheist, which we featured earlier this month as our latest skin for the Hydra!

Oillipheist Hydra

Palmuranta by tartu61 and enkku in Hyvinkää, Finland

Non-Finnish Munzee players: can you guess what “palmuranta” means? If you guessed “palm beach”, then you are correct! If you were curious, “ranta” on its own is the word for “beach”.

This garden was created to celebrate the first Munzee event in Hyvinkää, Finland! The event is called Palmurannan alla and will take place on April 9th — so if you’d like to show your support, feel free to deploy any Greeting Cards or other Virtual Munzees nearby before then!

The garden shares its design with the event badge and icons, as you can see below:

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

Rules for GOTM nominations:

  1. Garden must feature non-licensed character designs.
  2. The garden must feature a Garden Places Pin.
  3. The garden must be built using a publicly available spreadsheet which we will ask to be locked after being 100% deployed.
  4. We’re asking for ongoing nominations and we will release the winners throughout the year.

Based on your feedback, we’ve created a Google Form where you can submit GOTM nominations — here’s the link: https://forms.gle/SjUQeRxdi5FT81pCA

We’ll still check the iloveyou@munzee.com inbox for stragglers, but please try to send your submissions to this new Google Form instead. Keep in mind that we take all former nominations into consideration for upcoming months. Just be sure your garden follows the nomination rules in order to be considered eligible!

If you need help deploying in a Virtual Garden, you can check out this step-by-step tutorial that will making deploying in a garden easy no matter how long you’ve been playing. To fill in the gardens, make sure to stock up on Virtuals and Color Credits from the Freeze Tag Online Store.

Munzee on!

P.S. Are you looking for POTM requirements? Remember that last year, we announced that we were holding off on POTM for now as we develop a new way to highlight our unique player base!

Use Your PinPoints Before They’re Gone!

Almost three years ago, we started the PinPoints program to give players a way to earn game pieces through gameplay and purchases. Although we’ve enjoyed this opportunity to reward players, certain limitations by third party developers have forced us to shut down the program. Because of this PinPoints will no longer be redeemable after 15:00 MHQ on March 31st.

If you have PinPoints you can read more about these changes below, but we do want to highlight a number of reward opportunities we’ve added over the last three years for the Munzee community:

  • We launched our In-App Store, which allows players to purchase items using Zeds, an in-app currency which are often given as rewards for various gameplay achievements.
  • By rebooting our ZeeOps program, players can earn daily rewards for completing missions, as well as different credits that can be used in the Redeem Store.
  • For special occasions, limited-time credits like the Sham Rocks are earnable via gameplay and can be redeemed for unique seasonal game pieces.
  • Key areas of the game have been revamped such as the NEW Daily Activity Tracker, and Clan Wars, where players are able to earn rewards through gameplay as well.

Ultimately as our team has developed better ways to deliver rewards, it has become unrealistic to rely on third party providers for these tools. We appreciate all of those that have embraced the PinPoints program so we want to be sure that you can make the most of those points while you have them.

How to Make the Most of Your PinPoints

To see past PinPoints transactions on our website visit: https://www.munzee.com/pinpoints/

To see current options to redeem in the store https://store.freezetag.com/pages/pinpoints

  • Earn PinPoints on purchases until 15:00 MHQ on March 28th – PP have a 3 day delivery/hold period on them, so we will deactivate new purchases at that time.
  • Review other items in the Freeze Tag Store to see if there’s anything else you want to redeem using PinPoints.
  • Use discount codes produced by PinPoints starting with “LL” before they are voided permanently April 1st.
  • Refer to our Help Guide article if you need a refresher on how everything works.
  • We know there are some players with large amounts of PinPoints left, so we have added a handful of NEW, higher value items until 15:00 MHQ on March 31st.

We do not anticipate offering PinPoints as part of a loyalty program in the future, so you will need to redeem your PinPoints before the removal date. Please note that we do not have PinPoints stored in the Munzee databases. PinPoints are held by a third-party provider through our Shopify store, so we won’t be able to bring those points back.

We hope you enjoy spending your leftover PinPoints, and stay tuned for more exciting ways to earn rewards in the future!

Munzee on!

Stake Your Claim on the Map With This NEW Flat Object!

It’s been a little over 2 weeks since Munzee Madness 11, and though it was still a multi-stage event, it feels like it ended so quickly. We really missed attending events in-person and seeing players we’ve known for years, along with some new faces! As its first event was in 2012, Munzee Madness is the longest-running annual event hosted by players. It was originated by one of our Resellers, 1849, who owns Gold’n Coins! This quick history lesson is just one example of Resellers helping to maintain and grow the Munzee community — so in honor of ALL our Resellers, we’ve created a NEW game piece just for them!

The sixth Flat Object is a little different from the previous objects, as it was not designed by one specific team member — instead, we’ve developed it to represent our Resellers! As Munzee is a global game, we appreciate that our Resellers make it easier for local players to get their hands on Munzee stickers and other physical items. On top of that, as mentioned above, they are often a huge part of maintaining and growing the local Munzee community.

This Flat (and the badges associated with them) will be continuing the pirate theme we’ve established for our Resellers. Read on to learn more!

Flat RUM Details

The Flat RUM joins the Flats as a virtual type. If you are interested in picking one up, they will be available at most of our Authorized Resellers’ shops some time today. The links to shop all of our resellers are below!

Flat RUM
Points
  • Deploy: 19
  • Capture: Split 83 with a minimum of 18
  • CapOn: Split 83 with a minimum of 18
Additional Info
  • Capture Radius: 300 feet
  • Blastable
  • Proximity: 50 feet from other players’ Flats, 150 feet from your own
  • Filters: In “Virtual – Flats” or “All Flat Types” filter
  • Counts towards both Flat and RUM reqs for Clan Wars and ZeeOps
Store Links

For more information on Flats, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Badges

There are badge lines for deploying and capturing the Flat RUM, which, as hinted above, feature the gear you need for a nautical voyage. You can see the first of each below!

ZEE-Dayz Coming Soon!

Similar to last week’s MunzPak ZEE-Dayz, expect a ZEE-Dayz event for non-trial Premium Members kicking off Thursday at 00:01 MHQ! Flat Munzees will see double their normal point values!

If you are shooting for the the badge and exclusive bouncer for hosting an event every month this year, why not plan your March event for this weekend? Your attendees will be raking in the points! To refer to the details for the Monthly Event Packages again, click HERE!

We hope you enjoy capturing the flags and embracing the pirate life!

Munzee on!

A Gameplay Survey for 2022!

It’s been a while since our last big survey — can you believe it’s been 2 years already? We are getting to a point where we can start planning new things — so we thought it would be prudent to check in with the community via a new survey!

The link to the survey is HERE, but read on for more details regarding the survey and prize drawing!

Survey Details

Like our past surveys, this survey does not collect e-mail addresses, nor will it require sign-in to Google. We’ve chosen to go this route since we want to make it as open to everyone as possible — some people may not be comfortable sharing their e-mail address, others may not have a Google account.

You’ll find that the questions at the beginning of the survey ask for some basic information about you — this is just to get a general idea of our our current player base, and will not be used to identify you in any way, even if you choose to enter the prize drawing (more details on it below). If you’ve filled out our past surveys, many of these questions will likely be familiar to you.

The survey will then shift to more opinion-based questions — feel free to type as much as you’d like (or as much as the Google Form will allow)! We do read every response, though it may take us a while to get through everything.

Once again, the link to the survey is HERE.

Prize Drawing Details

To sweeten the deal, we’ll be doing another random prize drawing! Like in our past surveys, you have the option to submit your username at the end for an entry. Please note the following:

  • Usernames will ONLY be used to conduct this prize drawing.
    • As mentioned above, even if you do enter in your Munzee username, we will not use the data in this survey to identify you in any way. The survey data will remain in this Google Form, separate from the Munzee databases.
  • Multiple entries will disqualify you from winning.
    • We’d like the data to be as accurate as possible — multiple entries from the same people will artificially sway the data a certain way.
  • We will determine the total number of winners based on the number of unique survey responses — said another way, the more players that fill out the survey, the more winners there will be!
    • However, as mentioned in the previous bullet points, please DO NOT fill out the survey multiple times as this will cause our data to be inaccurate, and we will disqualify anyone with multiple entries.
    • DO ask any of your Munzee friends and family to fill out the survey, if they don’t know about it already!
  • Entering the prize drawing is OPTIONAL.
    • If you are not comfortable with having your Munzee username tied to your response, you can certainly leave the field blank.
    • That being said, you should have nothing to fear — we will never punish players for writing honest opinions in this survey. If there is something we can improve, this survey and support@munzee.com are the best places for you to tell us.

The survey will be closed some time on April 1st — and no, this is not a joke. We are looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Munzee On!

NEW Cyclops Skin in the Redeem Store!

We love to know that our players make the effort to pick up trash around their local areas and dispose of them properly as they #MunzeeOn! To honor that practice, we’ve created a new skin just in time for Global Recycling Day! This skin would also be perfect to see on the map on Earth Day next month.

Recyclops Skin

It is available in the Redeem Store in the [Sham Rocks Surprise] tab, also for 25 SRC. Like the Sham Rock n Rolla, it will remain available through 02:30 MHQ on Sunday, April 3rd (the expiration date we had set for Sham Rock Credits).

Recyclops
Landing Pads

If you don’t already own the base Myth, but are still interested in using this skin, here is the link to shop: Cyclops. Keep in mind that the base Myth will also need to be upgraded in order to use the skin. If you haven’t upgraded your base Myth yet, you can purchase a Bouncer Upgrade Credit.

For more information on Skins, you can check out our Help Guide articles HERE and HERE.

Sham Rocks Week 3

As usual, the most up-to-date list of what’s available will be what you see on munzee.com/redeem, where the [Sham Rocks (Week X)] tab swaps out on 12:00 MHQ every Thursday. So make sure to spend your credits each week!

Here is what we have in the Week 3 tab:

Quantity Item Sham Rock Cost Limit
1 Lucky Charm Greeting Card 3 SRC 1 per player
1 Good Luck Greeting Card 2 SRC 5 per player
1 Wish I Was Here Greeting Card 2 SRC 5 per player
1 QRowbar 5 SRC 5 per player
1 Physical Magnet 5 SRC 2 per player
1 Temporary Virtual 5 SRC 5 per player
1 Seasonal Munzee 10 SRC 1 per player
1 Mini Blast 15 SRC 1 per player
5 Cog 20 SRC 1 per player

We hope you continue to enjoy earning Sham Rocks from gameplay this month!

Munzee on!

A ZEE-Dayz for March MunzPak Owners + A NEW Destination!

Our Pre-Paddy’s Day Party was only the beginning… March has much more in store! Read on for everything you need to know!

Double Points Details

From the period of Thursday, March 17th at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, March 20th at 23:59 MHQ, March MunzPak owners can enjoy double points on select Mechz, Evolutions, and MORE!

Mechz Evolutions Other

Please note that the double points only applies to the munzees listed above, not any scatters that may be triggered after their capture.

NEW tPOB Pub Details

Last week, we teased that a NEW game piece was coming and that non-trial Premium Members would be getting one automatically at 12:00 MHQ today! The wait is over — we are happy to unveil the tPOB Pub,  the first temporary virtual Destination!

Otherwise, if you’re not a Premium Member, the tPOB Pub is available NOW in the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE. Be sure to shop fast, because it will leave the store at 23:59 MHQ on Thursday, March 31st!

Why use a tPOB Pub? This extra special munzee has the following awesome advantages:

  • Perfect for travelers who may want the benefits of a Skyland, but only for a short time
  • Quick and high points
  • Easy access to multiple tPOB caps at once
  • The ability to share the love with other tPOB owners
  • Achieve tPOB Clan Wars requirements quicker

Don’t forget that this month, as it’s a Destination, upon capture you have the chance to earn 1 Sham Rock Credit! Otherwise, the info below will always apply (unless we make any tweaks in the future):

Basic Info Special Info
  • ONLY DEPLOYABLE IN-APP
  • Attracts up to 6 tPOBs over time
  • Stays on the map for 7 days
  • Automatically magnetized when 1st deployed
    • Is magnetizable afterwards
  •  Points:
    • Deploy: 250 points
    • Cap: 10 points + points for tPOBs in the PUB at the time of capture.
    • CapOn: 50 points
  • Can be capped once per player per 24 hour MHQ day
    • New tPOB landings do NOT refresh the capture setting
  • The regular tPOB timer is still in effect. If a tPOB times out, it leaves the PUB and an open spot becomes available for others
  • Players will see the base icon above for 0, but then a 1-6 as more tPOBs stop by

The deploy circle for tPOB Pub will be 4,000 feet (1219.2 m) from the nearest tPOB Pub. Capture radius is 1000 feet.

To access the tPOB Pub, turn on your Virtual filter and find it under “Destinations”. If the tPOB Pub is hosting munzees, it can also be visible with the “All Expiring Specials” filter.

For more information on Destinations, you can check out our Help Guide article.

We hope you join us in taking apart some Mechz this weekend — thanks for reading until the end!

Munzee on!

This NEW Mech is for All Who Love Rock ‘n’ Roll!

In our first Sham Rock Credits post, we mentioned that another tab in the Redeem Store would appear later on. As planned, this tab contains items that will remain available through 02:30 MHQ on Sunday, April 3rd (the expiration date we had set for Sham Rock Credits) — so you don’t need to worry about them going away like the items in the [Sham Rocks (Week X)] tab (which swaps out on 12:00 MHQ every Thursday)! Currently there’s only one item in there right now, so here’s everything you need to know!

Sham Rock n Rolla Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the Sham Rock n Rolla is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 5 times. In addition, as a tPOB, upon capture you have the chance to earn 1 Sham Rock Credit. At 12:00 MHQ today, it was made available in the Redeem Store in the [Sham Rocks Surprise] tab for 25 SRC. If you decide to make the trade, a Sham Rock n Rolla will be automatically deployed on your account at once! You will also receive the Greenprint to rebuild it when you have earned enough Cogs in the future.

Points You can find these charismatic cyborgs playing at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:
  • Deploy: 733
  • Capture: 150-250
  • CapOn: 133-173
  • Smashed (5th Cap): 500

When a Sham Rock n Rolla is captured, it will scatter up to 3 Blarney Beats.

Points Additional Info
  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points
  • Visible to any player
  • Deployed on the Sham Rock n Rolla owner’s account.
  • They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet.
  • You’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them.
  • These scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Sham Rock n Rollas will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Sham Rock n Rollas on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Sham Rock n Rolla visits you. Sham Rock n Rollas are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Sham Rock n Rollas by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

Badges

Deploying a Sham Rock n Rolla will earn you the corresponding Greenprint badge, which you can see below. There is also a badge that you can earn by capturing a Sham Rock n Rolla — but since there’s only one badge in this line, we’ll keep it a secret for now.

Sham Rock n Rolla Greenprints- Deploy 1 Sham Rock n Rolla Munzee.

We hope you enjoy the sound of Sham Rock n Rolla’s music!

Munzee on!

NEW St. Patrick’s Day Skins – Another Source of SRC!

With a Leprechaun and a Balor Cyclops already in the game, you’d think we’d tire of making Irish-themed myths. Think again! The rich culture gives us a lot of inspiration to draw from, and since we’ve embraced it as the theme for this month, new skins were the logical next step!

St. Patrick’s Day Skins

Like the Halloween skins, these skins are available in the Freeze Tag Store as a 3-Pack for $10! They will remain in the store until 23:59 MHQ on March 31st. You can shop them HERE!

Lady Leprechaun Oillipheist Hydra Far Darrig Faun
Landing Pads Landing Pads Landing Pads

If you don’t already own the base Myths, but are still interested in using these skins, here are the links to shop each one:

For more information on Skins, you can check out our Help Guide articles HERE and HERE.

Sham Rock Credits

You have the chance to earn 1 Sham Rock Credit upon capturing one of these skinned Myths. They don’t fall under the tPOB category, so we’ve added an entirely new source that you can earn SRC from! However, please note this will only apply in March. Once the month is over, you will no longer be able to earn SRC, as we stated in the original blog post.

We hope you look forward to seeing some new Myths on the map! Keep an eye on the Redeem Store as well… you never know what may show up!

Munzee on!

March 7, 2022

NEW Specials for the Most Important Meal of the Day!

Last week we introduced the limited-time Sham Rock Credit, and promised to release new MOBs that are guaranteed to award them, so here they are! We were inspired by a certain marshmallow-y cereal, and the fact that National Cereal Day is today! Starting at 12:00 MHQ on March 7th, National Cereal Day specials will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on March 31st.

National Cereal Day Specials

We’ll be releasing the bowls in waves, but will end at a total of 500 Empty Blue Cereal Bowls and 500 Empty Yellow Cereal Bowls. They will bounce around on the map every 4 hours or when captured. You can find these empty vessels at the following munzees near you:

Both bowls will be worth 77 points and 1 – 3 Sham Rock Credits for the Capture and 33 points for the CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out! Empty Blue Cereal Bowls will be attracted to Physical Magnets, while Empty Yellow Cereal Bowls will be attracted to Virtual Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

When you capture an Empty Blue Cereal Bowl, there is a chance that a Green Milk Carton will scatter nearby. Similarly, when you capture an Empty Yellow Cereal Bowl, there is a chance that a Pink Milk Carton will scatter nearby. These munzees will stay on the map for 30 minutes or when captured, and are worth 50 points.

Additionally, when you capture a Green Milk Carton, there is a chance that a Bone Bites Cereal Box or a Unicorn Puffs Cereal Box will scatter nearby! Similarly, when you capture a Pink Milk Carton, there is a chance that a Honeycomb Crunch Cereal Box or a Spearmint Bran Cereal Box will scatter nearby. Like the Milk Cartons, these munzees will stay on the map for 30 minutes or when captured, and are worth 50 points.

Lastly, when you capture a Cereal Box, there is a small chance that its matching Cereal Spoon will scatter nearby! These munzees will stay on the map for 30 minutes or when captured, and as they are quite rare, they are worth 150 points.

Badges

There will be eight badges to earn for these specials. Four are based on the total number of National Cereal Day specials you capture, but just how many captures it takes to earn all four badges will be kept a secret! The remaining four badges are based on capturing each of the different Cereal Spoons you see here. You can see the first badges in each line below:

We hope these specials are a delicious way to wake up!

Munzee on!

A Pre-Paddy’s Day Party ZEE-Dayz!

As we mentioned earlier in the week, today we’re kicking off a very special ZEE-Dayz! While some of the important details were already revealed, we thought it wouldn’t hurt to give you a refresher, along with some additional details. Read on for everything you need to know!

TRIPLE Points Details

From the period of Thursday, March 3rd at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, March 6th at 23:59 MHQ, enjoy TRIPLE points on ALL physical and virtual Shamrocks!

Please note that the triple points only applies to the actual Shamrocks, not any scatters that may be triggered after their capture.

Special Sale!

Need more Shamrocks near you? They’re currently 17% off at the Freeze Tag Store! You’ll also find that our St. Patrick’s-themed Personal Tags also have a 17% discount.

There is NO CODE required — the discount should apply automatically! It will be valid for the same time period as the triple points mentioned above.

We’ve also brought back the matching Limited-Edition Greeting Cards, if you wanted to freshen up your collection!

Speaking of freshening up…

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have 1 new Limited Edition card for your deploying pleasure! Please note that activity with this card also has the chance of awarding Sham Rock Credits!

Have a friend that enjoys musical performances, or perhaps one that marches to the beat of their own drum? Show your support with a Sham-Rockin 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!

This brings the current lineup of Greeting Cards available for purchase to the following:

    • Open Edition (will always be available; ONE Purchase yields FOUR munzees)
      • Birthday
      • Get Well
      • Thank You
      • Congrats
      • Sorry / Sorry 1 / Sorry 2 / Sorry 3
      • Spring
      • Fall
      • Thinking of You
      • Knock Knock Joke
      • It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere
      • Wish I Was Here
      • Life Is Good
      • Good Luck / Lucky Rabbit’s Foot
      • Bad Luck / Break A Leg
      • Short Story
      • Song About You
    • Limited Edition (will rotate depending on occasion; ONE Purchase yields THREE munzees)

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

  • Open Edition
    • Deploy: 50
    • Capture: 40
    • CapOn: 25
  • Limited Edition
    • 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.

Badges

There will be two badges to earn during this special event. They will require you to capture and deploy a certain number of Shamrocks. You can see the first badge below.

Pet Sham Rock- Deploy 1 Shamrock and capture 7 Shamrocks of any type during the 2022 Pre-Paddy’s Day Celebrations.

It’s up to you to figure out the requirements for the remaining badge! Cap and deploy as many Shamrocks as you can to set yourself up for success!

We hope you join us in hunting Shamrocks this weekend — thanks for reading until the end!

Munzee on!
