Version 4.0 of everyone’s favorite real world scavenger hunt brought many positive changes, but one aspect of the game that still needed touching up was the maps. Today we’re happy to announce that the maps have indeed been updated, thanks largely to our switch to Apple Maps! Using Apple Maps will allow more up to date satellite imagery in order to portray the surroundings as accurately and detailed as possible for both Android and iOS devices.
Please note that although we have changed providers to Apple Maps, this new map system is available on both Android and iOS devices. We are excited to bring you a faster, more responsive, and improved map! Hopefully this will enhance the experience for those of you who play in satellite mode.
These updated maps were chosen for a variety of reasons, most importantly that they are as accurate and fast compared to the map system used in V3. This allows us to maintain the fast loading speed of the pins in the game with limited development costs. The new map also offers much more up to date satellite images, which is something the players have requested since V4’s launch. We’re hoping that this change will make the gaming experience more enjoyable for all players, no matter where you live!
Additionally the new over-the-air update has changed the deploy location to now be set when scanning a code or tapping “deploy,” not when reaching the “edit location” screen.
Does this update get you excited? Stay tuned for more updates down the line! And be sure to connect with us on Facebook,Instagram, and Twitter to always stay in the loop!
All good things must come to an end, and alas, we are concluding our Blast From The Past personal tags collection with the new millennium. The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90sMunzee Personal tags have all enjoyed their stay in the Freeze Tag Online Store, and they have cleared out to welcome the 00s tags today at 15:00 MHQ time!
Can you believe that 2000 was already nineteen years ago?! Time really flies. You will have until April 10 at 15:00 MHQ time to pick up your 00s tag, which will end this nostalgic personal tags series with this off the chain conclusion. Remember to add your FREE Blast Capture to the cart with any Blast From The Past personal tag purchase.
In order to get the FREE Blast Cap, you’ll need to add both the Blast From The Past personal tag of your choice and a Blast Capture to your cart. No discount code is needed, but the discount will NOT be automatically added until both items are added to the cart. If you plan on buying more than one Blast From The Past tag and want more free Blast Caps, you will need add more to your cart for each tag purchase. Please note that this promo is only applicable to the Blast From The Past tags.
Like all of our personal tags, the 90s tag is made with sublimated images on metal to ensure for durability. (They can even survive the Y2K bug!) Let’s journey back to a simpler time when the pink Razr flip phone was the coolest phone on the market and everyone was chatting on AIM. Baby G watches were the dopest accessory to have, and we were all singing to Destiny’s Child. And of course, Myspace was all the rage! The 00s may not have had Munzee, but they were on the cusp of gaming greatness!
Be sure to pick up this wicked cool tag, and Munzee on!
What could possibly be cuter than a Pouch Creature? No, the answer is not rhetorical! It’s a Gleaming Pouch Creature!
Gleaming Tuli
Gleaming Vesi
Gleaming Muru
Since April Fools is well over, you can believe us when we say there is a fun surprise for the lucky few! That’s right, new colorations of all three stages of Tuli, Vesi, and Muru are currently bouncing around the map waiting to get capped. There’s a catch though, these shiny specials are a bit shy, so you won’t know they’re Gleaming until you cap them. Gleaming Pouch Creatures will appear NORMAL on the map like any other Pouch Creature. However, there is a chance that the Pouch Creature will reveal itself to be Gleaming upon being capped! To heighten your chances of finding a Gleaming Pouch Creature you’ll need to cap each of them you see just to be sure.
If the Pouch Creature is Gleaming, the new icon will show up in the captured pop-up message, and it will also show as a new type on your specials/achievements page. The Gleaming Pouch Creature will also award double the original points for Cap/Deploy/CapOn! That means there are double points possible to be earned on all three stages of Tuli, Vesi, and Muru!
Pouch Creatures can be a little shy, but luckily all three types (Muru, Tuli and Vesi) are attracted to physical Munzee Magnets as well! They will only be attracted as their Level 1 version though, so once they level up they won’t fall for any tricks! You can pick up Magnets in the Freeze Tag Online Store, along with Elemental Munzee blocks which will be on sale for $12 (originally $16) at 15:00 MHQ to help draw out more Pouch Creatures!
At 15:00 MHQ time today, we will be adding some Pouch Creatures back to the Freeze Tag Online Store if you’d like to pick one up to deploy. Per usual these are in limited stock, so if you don’t have one, today is a great day to get one! (It’s also the perfect time to pick up our last Blast From The Past personal tag.)
Meeting your April fitness goals will be easier than ever with the added incentive to chase each and every Pouch Creature that pops up in your area!
Spring has sprung on the Northern Hemisphere, and it’s time to watch the world come to life! In honor of the season, two of our MunzPak subscriptions this month will contain the brand new Butterfly Evolutions!

The announcement of a new Evolution Munzee so soon after our Flower Evolutions might seem like a classic case of April Fools. We promise it’s not! We mean it when we say it’s time to welcome spring (in Texas) with our brand new Butterfly Evolution series. These beautiful evolutions just can’t wait to grow their wings and fly into the game in a very unique way!
Butterfly Evolutions
Our Butterfly Evolutions have five stages, with a combination of physical and virtual. Stages 1-4 will be Physical, while Stage 5 evolves into a temporary POB. Stage 5 will bounce to Virtuals and Physicals. Dying to get your hands on our latest collection of evolution munzees? The Butterfly Evolutions will only be available via our April MunzPak subscriptions, the full contents of which will be revealed on April 1 at 10:00 MHQ time. Please note that if you buy a MunzPak before 00:01 MHQ on April 1, it will still contain March’s contents.
Like our Flower Evolutions, the stage timeline for the Butterfly Evolutions will be unique and not follow the classic structure of previous Evolution Munzees. It mirrors the actual life cycle of a butterfly!
Stage 1 to Stage 2: after 4 days
Stage 2 to Stage 3: after 14 days
Stage 3 to Stage 4: after 10 days
Stage 4 to Stage 5: permanent until reset to stage one
Stage 5 will exist for 42 days or 10 captures, whichever happens first, at which time the beautiful butterfly will be archived. This temporary Butterfly POB will stay in place for 8 hours or when captured and will not be able to be nudged. However, the Butterfly will be attracted to physical magnets on Greenies and virtual magnets on Rainbow Virtuals, so be sure to pick some up from the Freeze Tag Online Store.
The first four stages of the Butterfly Evolutions will be the same for all players. However, Stage 5 will have the option of emerging as one of three different butterfly species which can bounce to both Physicals and Virtuals. Please note that although the first four stages for each are the same, they will count as different special capture icons.
The stages include:
Stage 1: Butterfly Egg
Stage 2: Caterpillar
Stage 3: Chrysalis
Stage 4: Hatched Chrysalis
Stage 5: Butterfly
Stage 1 Butterfly
Stage 2 Butterfly
Stage 3 Butterfly
Stage 4 Butterfly
A temporary POB will be launched when the Evolution reaches Stage 4. The Chrysalis will become a Hatched Chrysalis and remain in place, while the Butterfly will be launched at the same time. It will “live” and bounce around for 42 days OR 10 captures, whichever happens first. Similar to POBs, the Butterfly Evolutions will be available for multi-capture only as a Butterfly (Stage 5). There will only be one capture allowed per stage for the first four stages.
This new line of munzees will fit into the overall Evolution Munzees category. Stages 1-4 will have a normal cap radius of 300 feet for Physical, while Stage 5 will have a cap radius of 500 feet. In adherence to our normal Proximity Rules, Stage 1 deploys must be 50 feet from any other type and 150 feet from own of any type. The Butterfly POB will be non-blastable. To access all five stages, you will need to turn on the “Physical” filter (for Stages 1-4), “Physical” and “Virtual” filters (for Stage 5), and “All Expiring Specials” Premium filter (for Stage 5).
An Evolution Reset Credit can be purchased to reset your Evolution back to Stage 1. If a Butterfly Evolution is reset, there is a chance it will evolve into a different species of butterfly at Stage 5 than it was before. Although you cannot capture a reset stage 1-4 if you have already captured the original, you CAN capture the final level of a reset. An easy way to know is if you see it on the map, you can cap it!
Points
Stage 1: Cap: 50, CapOn: 30
Stage 2: Cap: 40, CapOn: 20
Stage 3: Cap: 45, CapOn: 25
Stage 4: Cap: 40, CapOn: 30
Stage 4: Cap: 150, CapOn: 50, Host CapOn: 50
There will also be 100 points per stage 1 Deploy. The Butterfly POB will be attracted to the following Landing Pads:
Stage 1-3 of Family and Field Evolutions Munzees
Stage 2 only for Peas, Carrot, Golden Carrot, Tomato, and Corn Evolution Munzees
Are you ready to help a worm start a beautiful new life? April is certainly not the cruelest month when it comes to the Munzee Butterfly evolution series!
Agents, ZeeOps HQ’s system has been hacked and all of our files on past missions have been erased! You’ll have to recreate past Operations in what we’re calling LegaZeeOps.

If you’re wondering why it smells like Teen Spirit here at MHQ, it’s because our Blast From The Past personal tags series is reaching its final stretch with our 90s tag dropping in the Freeze Tag Online Store today at 15:00 MHQ time! The last four weeks have brought us the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80sMunzee Personal tags, and our penultimate tag is ready to get crunk!
One might say the 90s personal tag is the bomb. (And that person would be correct.)
Are you considering missing this personal tags sale? As if! The 90s personal tags will be in the store for exactly one week, available for purchase until Wednesday, April 3 at 15:00 MHQ time. At this point our final tag, the 00s tag, will bump it off the market. To save some cheddar, don’t forget to add your FREE Blast Capture to the cart with any Blast From The Past personal tag purchase.
In order to get the FREE Blast Cap, you’ll need to add both the Blast From The Past personal tag of your choice and a Blast Capture to your cart. No discount code is needed, but the discount will NOT be automatically added until both items are added to the cart. If you plan on buying more than one Blast From The Past tag and want more free Blast Caps, you will need add more to your cart for each tag purchase. Please note that this promo is only applicable to the Blast From The Past tags.
Like all of our personal tags, the 90s tag is made with sublimated images on metal to ensure for durability. You should get crunk about the dopest decade in time, which introduced the world to the glory of Dunkaroos, the Macarena, Beanie Babies, Nintendo 64, fanny packs, gel pens, Tamagotchis, AOL, Discman, Lisa Frank, slap bracelets, Pokemon cards, and pretty much everything that mattered! (Except for Munzee… you’d have to wait until 2011 for that.)
Pick up a tag to relive the freshest decade in time! Honestly the only thing more fly than these tags is this photo of Rob from the 90s!
Our Garden of the Month nominations have been steadily streaming in since we announced the start of the program earlier this year, as our February GOTM nominations allowed us to award two more players for their Virtual Garden organizing skills. The GOTM recognition is meant to honor a number of our exceptional Virtual Garden builders who have aided in creating some of our favorite gardens in the game. Winning organizers, as well as all players who deployed in the winning gardens, will receive a special GOTM badge.
This month, we’re happy to award the QR Code Map, organized by c-bn, and the Huntfield Heights Dog Park Garden, organized by WiseOldWizard, as our Gardens of the Month March winners! The March GOTM gardens appear as follows:
The QR Code Map organized by c-bn in Bonn, Germany:
What’s Munzee all about? QR codes! It’s only fitting to award the garden that represents the pith of the game.
This Garden doesn’t need an explanation, as dogs truly are man’s best friend. Plus, Rover insisted we select it!
All players who deployed in the respective winning gardens will receive the following special badges!
