REMINDER: Munzee Worldwide Birthday Events

With Munzee’s 4th Birthday just a few weeks away we have so much exciting news on the horizon. Our monthlong celebration of all things Munzee kicks off the first weekend of July with worldwide Birthday parties hosted by you, our players. From July 1-5 we have asked that our international community join us in celebration of four years of Munzeeing by hosting their own Munzee events.

Over the past month we’ve had lots of interest in hosting these worldwide events, due in large part to the promise of a special Birthday event badge. We would like to remind everyone that in order to get this special badge at your event there must be at least ten people who participate in the event and it must be scheduled on the official Munzee calendar. Just visit http://calendar.munzee.com/ to submit your event and be sure to follow along on social media for more Birthday announcements.

These events are also an opportunity for our various clans, groups, and communities to create custom badges and icons for the players in attendance. As stated earlier we have had a lot of events scheduled, many of which have had custom badges and icons created for their events. If you’re interested in hosting an event with custom icons/badges there is a 28 day advance notice required. So if you want special icons/badges for your Munzee Birthday Event you must have that submitted to the Munzee Event Team by June 3rd at 5pm MHQ time or there will be a surcharge.

Events are a perfect way to grow the game in your area, so be sure to spread word through all available avenues.

Munzee Code of Conduct UPDATE

UPDATE: Social Munzees may use any image as long as they are not printed out and deployed in public places. Online forums are acceptable places to share socials with personalized (and perhaps copyrighted) images.

The Munzee Player Code of Conduct has been updated to include an additional restriction. When printing and deploying your own munzees it is prohibited to include unauthorized trademarked or copyrighted images/designs/logos/information on Munzee skins.This action is taken to protect players and Munzee as a whole. The restriction will not impact the vast majority of players and will be easy to avoid moving forward from this point.

Players who have deployed Munzees past, present and future with images prohibited by this new restriction will have until May 15th to replace, undeploy, or archive any Munzee in violation. Trademark and Copyright infringement is a crime and we do not want anyone to break the law when playing Munzee. For more information on this restriction and the general Player Code of Conduct please visit the following link.

UPDATE on Glitch Badge

11025688_1074606469222761_909309285628722268_n As many have noticed, a glitch badge featuring a disoriented Munzee logo surfaced about a month ago. With the help of the players we’ve been working diligently to find the source of the problem, but much is still unknown. When our servers went down for routine maintenance last month, something seemed to get into our system and since it would take a server-wide shutdown to quickly find the source we have had to slowly dissect portions of the game in search of answers.

We understand the timing around this is less than desirable, what with April Fool’s Day around the corner, but it would appear that the joke is on us. Early Friday we received this semi-cryptic email from former Munzee President Aaron Benzick.

“Hey guys,

Hope everything with Munzee is going well and relatively GLITCH-less. I remember a few BLURRY days during my time with Munzee, but nothing a few MISSING NO.s wouldn’t fix. Just remember to wear your Team Munzee BADGE with pride and never settle for MALFUNCTIONS. Hope I’m not BUGging you all, just wanted to send over some words of encouragement. Enjoy your week and happy April!

-Aaron”

Although we don’t know “how” (Scott is crying foul) the “why” seems to be a bit of a joke from the original co-founders. So luckily it appears that you don’t have to worry about your phone exploding, but there is still the matter of this badge. After much deliberation we have decided to keep the so-called Missing No. badge for at least a few more days so Aaron’s plan can come to fruition. The following requirements are needed to attain this badge, but you’ll only have until Thursday to do it. These do not need to be done in any particular order, but all must be done within 24 hours to receive the badge.

You must capture a munzee with coordinates that end in 11 (ex. 33.185989696811)
Capture on the 11th second of an odd numbered minute (ex. 4:26:11 AM)
You must have at least one capture worth 11 points during the day.
Capture a munzee within 1 hour and 11 minutes of receiving cap on points.
Deploy 4 greenies within 24 hours.
Wear your hat backwards in an Opposuit (Not really, but you should still buy an Opposuit.)

Obviously our trickster has an affinity for 11 (perhaps symbolizing 2011, the year Munzee was born) but these requirements come straight from Aaron himself, so despite their extensive nature it seems this is the only way to get the badge. Good luck and as always, Grow The Map!

Munzee Players Raise $50,000 for the American Heart Association

We’re extremely proud to announce our players have helped us raise a $50,000 donation for the American Heart Association through our virtual candy hearts fundraiser. This is a huge testament to our players’ ability to give and we continue to beam with pride with each fundraising effort. Although we only sold the AHA Candy Heart Virtuals for seven days our players quickly showed their support and the Munzee Map now looks like a box of Necco conversation hearts!

The American Heart Association was ecstatic to receive our gift and shared many stories- highlighting how our donation will be used to help the world. Whether it’s funding heart research or aiding in education, the money our players raised will take AHA one step closer to saving hearts worldwide. According to the US Center for Disease Control, Cardiovascular disease (including heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure) is the number 1 killer of women and men in the United States and a leading cause of disability. This is an important cause that affects every human being and we’re proud to say we’ve helped in this fight.

Remember, the virtual hearts that have been deployed around the world are still live for another couple weeks. We’ve seen tons of new events pop up based on heavy heart locations and everyone has had a lot of fun spreading the love. The virtuals will disappear from the map on March 15th at 23:59 MHQ time (GMT -6). To find an event near you or even host you own go to calendar.munzee.com.

We thank you again for the good work you have all done. Munzee can do good, but only with the help of our players.

Remember the Alamo! New specials live on the map.

In celebration of Texas Independence Day (March 2, 1836) we have released new specials to the map. These new pins commemorate the Battle of the Alamo where Texans fended off Mexican attacks from taking the Alamo, a Mexican mission, for 13 days before falling to Santa Anna’s forces. This battle became an inspirational moment in the battle for Texas Independence and to this day the Alamo still plays a huge part in Texas history.

254 Alamo pins will be across the map worldwide, bouncing to a new location every 6 hours. There is a 36 point split between owner and capper, with each getting a minimum of 5 points. The pins will stay on the map for 13 days, from March 2 until March 15. By capping an Alamo pin you will also get a Come an Cap It badge as well. You can see the new specials at www.munzee.com/texas.
