Groundhog Day Fun!

Want to get in on the Groundhog Day fun but didn’t snag a FR057Y? We’ve got a cute new Baby Animal up for adoption, and a special Eventzee you can join!

Hamilton Hamzee

Not a groundhog you say? He knows… but that won’t stop him from taking up meteorology as a hobby in his home of Hamilton, PA! If you’d like to make this clairvoyant Hamster yours, he is available at the Freeze Tag Online Store as an individual product! If you want more back story on Hamzee read the bottom of the store description. 🙂

This new temporary POB (tPOB) will be available for purchase for $5 from now until 12:00 MHQ on Wednesday Feb 3rd.

Hamzee is a temporary POB. He will bounce to physical munzees and will stay on the map until 12:00 MHQ on March 16, when he will be automatically archived on your account.

  • Deploy: 300 points
  • Capture: 200 points
  • CapOn: 100 points

This enthusiastic explorer spends most of his time in a cage, so he relishes being in the great outdoors! As you approach any munzees, make sure to watch your step — we don’t want any crushed paws! Hamzee prefers the following munzee types:

Hamzee will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Hamzee on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Hamzee visits you. He will be attracted to Physical Magnets. You can access Hamzee under the “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

All players who purchase a Hamilton Hamzee will also receive the respective deploy badge shown below:

Capturing Hamilton Hamzee will contribute progress towards his own badge line! You can sneak a peek at the first badge below:

Seasonal Seconds- Capture one Hamilton Hamzee Munzee.

We hope Hamzee has found a home in your heart!

Official Groundhog Day Scavenger Hunt

The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club is hosting an official scavenger hunt on Eventzee! It is open to the public with join code PHIL. If you’ve never attended the events in Pennsylvania before, this is a great way to get a taste of what they’re like!

Please note that the challenges were written by Punxsutawney Groundhog Club staff, so if you haven’t brushed up on Groundhog Club trivia, you may find the questions a bit challenging!

Munzee on!

The Final Tree Scatters Are Here!

Last March we introduced new scatters for the Earth Mystery, changing from Boulders to Trees. Trees are extra-special since they also release their own scatters once they are capped. It’s scatterception! We promised to introduce more scatters from Trees each season, so here are the final set!

NEW Earth Mystery Tree Scatters

Like the Pecans and Acorns, Dead Branches and Cardinal Feathers are both worth 25 points for Capture. To clarify — Pecans and Acorns will remain as possible scatters for Trees, so you have a chance for any of the 4 types. This means that Peach and Pear scatters are no longer available, but there’s a good chance you’ll see them again in the future!

We’ve also added three new badges: one based on Dead Branch captures, one based on Cardinal Feather captures, and a special badge based on a captures of both! We’re not going to reveal what these badges are, so you’ll need to snag some of these wintry scatters to see for yourself! You’ll still be able to earn badges for Pecan and Acorn captures as well, so be sure to grab as many as you can before the season changes and scatters are rotated out!

If you need more Earth Mystery credits to grow your area don’t forget they are available in the store!

We hope that you stay safe and cozy this season, whether you’re deep into winter or enjoying some sunny summer weather!

Munzee On!

Event Spotlight: Munzee in the Park – Katandra West

While Munzee can certainly be a solo game if you choose, there’s no denying the appeal in meeting others who share your interests. Munzee Events are perhaps the best example of this, as they allow you to meet both old and new players in a safe, friendly environment. On top of that, there are usually activities, games, and — if you’re lucky — goodie bags! That being said, planning events requires a considerable amount of effort. So, to make it easier for prospective hosts (and maybe even recurring hosts), we decided to put the spotlight on past events, Munzee-Toolkit style! We hope this series of posts will inspire you to try hosting an event if you never have before, or provide you with ideas to spice up future events if you’re an old hand at it!

Today we’re featuring the Munzee in the Park – Katandra West event, which took place on January 9, 2021 at Katandra West, Australia and was hosted by Rubik80, SpySmurf, and SammyDiddly.

Give us a brief summary about your event!

Katandra West is a small rural community just out of Shepparton who recently got a brand new mobile phone tower which finally enabled us to host an event there (we had been asked to do so in 2018). We have created an event at their Recreation Reserve to promote Munzee and its benefits to the local community.

What tips do you have when hosting an awesome event?

When we host our Munzee in the Park events we have a number of considerations that we evaluate. Because we are representing both the game of Munzee and our local council, we try to make it fun, friendly and safe. For these reasons, we try to pair new players up with experienced players to show them the basics and also to create new friendships. We select our event location based on where we can create multiple walking circuits that have minimal risks (such as road crossings, uneven tracks or snakes) and allow people to choose how far they wish to walk based on their individual fitness or time constraints. It’s a bonus if food, toilets and first aid are available for participants also. In order to continue attracting players we try to create badges that reflect the unique characteristics of the communities we visit and make a bonus badge available if they attend all events in our Munzee in the Park series. If you get new players to attend, give them some physical munzees to get them started too!

What made your event unique?

For the last four years we have volunteered to host Munzee events on behalf of our local council’s Activities in the Park Program. The program provides a range of free and low-cost activities for Greater Shepparton residents and visitors, encouraging people to be outdoors, physically active and engaging with their community. We take Munzee to some of the smaller communities for a number of reasons, including:

  1. Greater access to activities for the people in the local communities because it reduces travel times and costs.
  2. It provides a small tourism boost.
  3. It builds the local Munzee map should they wish to become regular players.
  4. It increases awareness of Munzee across our community which in turn promotes acceptance of people “photographing power poles” which might otherwise look suspicious.

This year’s events are also unique because of the Covid-19 Safety measures we have to undertake.

The major focus of our Munzee in the Park events is to introduce new players to Munzee and in order to get the word out there we do quite a lot of promotional work on Facebook, local radio, newspaper and through our council publications.

Fancy Flat Friends are Going Ghost!

After 3 Flat Day the 13ths, haven’t you ever wondered what happened to the Flat Friends you weren’t able to save? That’s right — they become Phantom Flats. As Fancy Flat Lou was just released a few months ago, we hope it’ll be a while before we see her Phantom Flat counterpart — but you never know…

Phantom Flats

Like the RetireMyths and Zombie Pouch Creatures before them, these game pieces will join the map once any Fancy Flat owned by an Inactive or Retired account has been archived. These munzees will roam the map at certain times, and are worth 500 points upon first capture, with the point value decreasing by 1 point per each subsequent capture of the unique Phantom Flat.

NEW RetireMyth

Joining her sisters, the physical and virtual Nymph RetireMyth is now eligible to appear.

As a reminder, RetireMyths are not attracted to magnets, and they land on the same type of Munzee as their regular counterpart. RetireMyths will be worth 500 points upon first cap and 1 point less for each cap that follows.

NEW Zombie Pouch Creatures

Last but certainly not least, Elekter, Magnetus, Pimedus, and Puffle now have Zombie Pouch Creature variants!

As a reminder, Zombie Pouch Creatures are not attracted to magnets, and they land on the same type of Munzee as their regular counterpart. Zombie Pouch Creatures will be worth 500 points upon first cap and 1 point less for each cap that follows. Please note that Zombie Pouch Creatures will NOT level up into their other forms.

Are you ready to find some haunted munzees? Remember that these are rare finds only available at select times! You can use our handy What’s New? section to help keep track!

Munzee on!

Holiday Card Collectors Club Dodgy Jumper Photo Contest Gallery

Yesterday was the last day for our Dodgy Jumper Photo Contest, so we’ve gathered up some of the entries for you to enjoy in the gallery below! We received over 150 250 photos which is way more than the usual amount, so to keep this blog post a reasonable length, we’ve just chosen a few of our favorites. Please don’t worry if you don’t see your photo here — as long as you’ve uploaded a photo to your Holiday Mailbox within the period of 00:01 MHQ on December 16 to 23:59 MHQ on December 20, you will receive the badge when it is awarded in early January.

We hope you enjoy this peek at some of your fellow players’ Dodgy Jumpers!

Munzee on!

Holiday Card Collectors Club Tier 3 Day 31: Fireworks Show

Tier 3 Holiday Card Collectors Club members have one last surprise! Much like the Snowball Gathering and Christmas Pickle Hunt, upon capturing your Holiday Mailbox, a shower of Fireworks will scatter nearby! To reiterate, the mailbox must be capped on December 31st 00:01-23:59 MHQ time to deploy the Fireworks. They’ll stay on the map for 6 hours after scattering, so try to cap them all within that timeframe!

A total of 20 Fireworks specials will be unleashed! These will only be visible to the Holiday Mailbox owner and will scatter like Feathers. This means there are no CapOn points but they are worth 50 points for capture!

The icon for these specials is the same as the Fireworks Card that Tier 2 and 3 HCCC Members will receive to deploy. To access these specials, please turn on your “Greeting Cards” filter.

Badge

There will be 1 badge for capturing Fireworks. Since there’s only the 1 badge in this line, we want to keep it a secret for now. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too tough for you to get!

We hope you enjoy unwrapping the last day of the Holiday Card Collectors Club! Would you like to see something like this again next year?

Otherwise, if you still haven’t joined the club yet and would like to do so now, click HERE! If you purchase a Tier 3 membership TODAY you can still get Fireworks specials long as you deploy and cap your Holiday Mailbox before 23:59 MHQ time on December 31st.

Lastly, if you want to check out what today’s Greeting Card looks like, or review past day’s goodies, you can check out the blog post HERE. Please note that that blog post may not immediately have the latest info as we cannot pre-schedule updates, but we’ll do so as soon as we can!

December 2020 GOTM Winners + The Future of POTM

This month was all about creating some Munzee Magic in the form of the Holiday Card Collectors Club and all the various Christmas Combat Specials!

We are now happy to announce the winners of the December Garden of the Month (GOTM), give a reminder for December Player of the Month (POTM), and let you know about our plans for the POTM program in the coming year! The badges for December GOTM and POTM will be awarded in early January, but we couldn’t wait to share the winners we’ve chosen!

December GOTM

As we’re now fully into Christmas/Holiday mode, the gardens we’ve chosen certainly make the map feel a little bit merrier! 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 Xmas Knole Deer Garden, designed by Maattmoo, and the Queensland Koala Garden, designed by BonnieB1, as our winning December GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Xmas Knole Deer by Maattmoo in Sevenoaks, United Kingdom

This garden looks like a slightly more grown-up version of our Baby Reindeer Christmas Critter!

Maattmoo shared his thoughts behind the design:

It started over a month ago when I found out about an event being held in the grounds of Knole Deer Park for Xmas and the event organiser was trying to build up the area a bit for the event.

I thought, wow what a great space for a new garden, so checked if they wanted to do a garden or if I would be able to do.
They agreed that I was free to do and it would be a great addition to the area and event.

So what design, well Knole Park is famous for its free roaming deer herds and being a Christmas event, a red nose deer felt like a perfect fit. Now over the last month with some social media persuasion and gentle coercion we have filled the garden complete and with a week to go to the event too.

The event Maattmoo wrote about was on the calendar HERE!

Queensland Koala by BonnieB1 in Queensland, Australia

We started the year with Aussie Animals, so we thought it would be a nice way to end the year too!

This garden was created for another event that took place on the same day as Maattmoo’s, but across the globe! You can find the A Queensland Christmas event on the calendar HERE!

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.

Send your nomination for GOTM to iloveyou@munzee.com! 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.

December POTM

December’s POTM called for stories of Munzee acts of kindness. There’s still a bit of time left to earn this badge, so please send your stories to the Google Form at this link: https://forms.gle/JqF1LPaft6G6yeBAA

Thank you for sending in your stories! You can expect to see the badge in early January.

The Future of POTM

As the app has grown and changed we decided to re-evaluate the POTM program so it wouldn’t feel stale. So far, we’ve been alternating nomination-based months with requirement-based months. This was so that players could have fair and varied opportunities to earn the badges.

Our goal moving forward is still to feature and celebrate our players, but in a way that feels more organic and special. So although we will not be moving forward with the POTM program for the foreseeable future, we are still working out what new ways we can highlight our awesome players. Please look forward to more information in the coming months!

Munzee on!

This Snowman is NOT a Jolly Happy Soul!

The final Christmas Combat character has been unlocked! We bet you’re curious to find out all his features and functions, so without further ado…

Fr057y Details

Fr057y is a temporary POB available from our Official Resellers for $5 through the end of the year. It will stay on the map until winter is over as determined by the Pennyslvania soothsayer on Feb 2. If the groundhog sees his shadow Fr057y will remain for 6 more weeks, if no shadow Fr057y will melt (archive) in 6 days.

Each player may purchase 1 Fr057y per player account, per reseller if you choose to support them all. Here is a direct link to the product from each reseller.

Gold’n Coins
Geologgers
NE Geocaching Supplies
Space Coast Geo Store

Points

  • Deploy: 300
  • Capture: 200
  • CapOn: 100

You can find these rolling ruffians bouncing to the following landing pads every 5 hours or when captured:

Similar to the Cyborg Santa, when Fr057y is captured 1-3 NEW Snowball munzees will be scattered nearby!

These are the same Snowballs featured in Day 5 of the HCCC! This means that capping them will contribute progress towards the corresponding badge line. Please note that there will be NO Rainbow Snow Cone. The Snowballs will only be visible to the player who capped Fr057y.

The rewards for Snowballs are as follows:

  • Capture: 100 points and 10 seconds of Frozen status, like when capping the Ice Mystery’s Frozen Greenie scatter

Like the other Christmas Combat bouncers, Fr057y will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Fr057y on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Fr057y visits you. However, Fr057y is non-blastable. They will be attracted to Munzee Magnets and Virtual Munzee Magnets. You can access Fr057y by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

Deploying Fr057y will earn you the following badge:

There is also a line of Christmas Combat Capture badges that you can earn for Fr057y, KrampBot, ReinDroid, RUD01PH, 31F, GingerMech Man, Cyborg Santa, and Cybersaurus Rex captures! The first in this line will appear as follows:

 

Personal Tags

With the addition of Fr057y, the Christmas Combat tag collection is complete! You can shop them in the Freeze Tag Store HERE!

We hope these Christmas Combat specials add a dash of holiday cheer to your map!

Munzee on!
