Dress Up Your Myths with NEW SkeleSkins!

The bony artifacts of our ongoing Candy Crypt MOBs may have inspired this year’s Halloween skins — and while a skeleton is perhaps one of the basic Halloween costumes, we think the skins below are anything but — particularly for the many-headed Hydra, as you’ll see below!

SkeleSkins

Like last year’s 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 November 1st. You can shop them HERE!

SkeleUnicorn SkeleCyclops SkeleHydra
Landing Pads Landing Pads Landing Pads

If you don’t already own the base Myths, but are still interested in using these skins, you can shop them HERE, but 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.

Pumpkoins 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 [Pumpkoins (Week X)] tab swaps out on 12:00 MHQ every Friday. So make sure to spend your credits each week!

We’ve also got a new SkeleSkin available in the Redeem Store in the [Pumpkoins Surprises] tab, for 25 PC. Like the Count Calcula Mech, it will remain available through 02:30 MHQ on Thursday, November 3rd (the expiration date we had set for Pumpkoins).

SkeleMermaid
Landing Pads

If you don’t already own the base Myth, but are still interested in using this skin, you can shop the Mermaid HERE!

Extended Myth Badge Lines

We mentioned earlier in the week that, as part of fulfilling our new Queen Munzee’s wishes, an extension to the Unique Myth Capture badge line (excluding the MythologiGals) and the Unique Modern Myth Capture badge line was in the works. As of this posting, the new badges are now live!

Unlike the Points in a Day badges, these will be fully retroactive.

We hope you enjoy seeing the SkeleMyths on the map, and that these badges will give you a new goal to shoot towards!

Munzee on!

In-App Map Link Update!

The focus of our Tech Team the past few months has been to address the unresolved Known Issues — namely the “GPS Sticking or Not Following” issue. We are happy to report that some of our beta testers have noticed that this latest app update has resolved these issues for them. If you’re still experiencing any GPS issues after trying a fresh install, please follow up with support@munzee.com so that we can investigate further. In the meantime, we’re also still investigating the floating pin issue some are encountering on Android.

In addition, today’s app update includes work on another improvement which we’ll go into detail about below, along with other various bug fixes and tweaks.

If you’re interested, you’ll need to download the latest update — which is 4.1.155 on Android and 4.1.156 on iOS — from your device’s App Store. If you do not see the latest update in the App Store, you’ll need to check back later. On Android devices, you could try clearing the cache of your Google Play Store app to see if you can force your store to refresh.

In-App Map Links!

Similar to the Permalink feature on the Web Map, you can now generate links to specific munzees OR areas on the map from the app! Here’s how:

Specific Munzee Map Link:

  1. Navigate to your desired munzee’s [Details] screen
  2. In the top-right corner, tap […]
  3. Tap [Copy URL]
  4. A popup with the URL will appear
  5. Tap [OK] on the popup
  6. Another popup should appear at the bottom confirming you’ve copied the URL to your device’s clipboard
  7. Paste where needed!

Map Area Link:

  1. Navigate to your desired area on the map
  2. Tap and hold your finger on the screen for 3+ seconds
  3. A confirmation popup will appear
  4. Tap [Yes] on the popup
  5. A popup with the URL will appear
  6. Tap [OK] on the popup
  7. Another popup should appear at the bottom confirming you’ve copied the URL to your device’s clipboard
  8. Paste where needed!

Please note that creating links to bouncing munzees — i.e. Unicorns — will NOT work as they are not tied to a specific set of coordinates. If you navigate to a link created for a bouncing munzee as shown in the next section, it will always bring you to (0, 0) — the middle of the ocean.

In-App Map Links = Deep Links

When you tap on an In-App Map Link, it will work differently depending on the device being used to access them:

  1. If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, the link will launch the Web Map centered on either a specific munzee or area on the map, depending on how the link was created
  2. If you’re using a mobile device:
    1. If you do NOT have the Munzee App installed, the link will launch your device’s App Store and navigate to Munzee’s app page so you can download the app
    2. If you do have the Munzee App installed, the link will launch an intermediary page, as you can see in the screenshot below
      1. Once you tap [OPEN], one more confirmation popup will appear
      2. Tap [Open] on that popup and it will launch the Munzee App, moving the map so that it is centered on either a specific munzee or area on the map, depending on how the link was created
        1. If the link is for a specific munzee, it will also display the Summary Panel at the top, as if you’ve selected it on the map!

If the link doesn’t open to the correct location, try tapping it again to reload! NOTE – players tapping the links must have the latest build installed for them to work as expected.

Use Cases

  • All players can now share a link to any Munzee or location on the map!
  • New players can share a location to ask for help and nearby deploys
  • Players looking to trade virtual deploys can drop a link to where they’d like it
  • Event Hosts can quickly link players to where to deploy for the event
  • Garden Builders can easily share a link to the location of their Garden
  • Sick or injured players requesting for nearby deploys while they recover

We hope you find this feature useful, and thank you for your continuing patience as we work to fix the outstanding app issues! If after installing this update, you are still experiencing the main issue mentioned above, please e-mail support@munzee.com with your device model and OS combo.

Munzee on!

Congratulations humbird7!

Today we celebrate a significant event in Munzee history, which has been many years in the making, and occurred Friday afternoon. It’s time to announce a new “Queen Munzee” has arrived — congratulations to humbird7, whose consistent efforts have finally allowed her to reach the ultimate goal!

If you’ve attended any Munzee Events in the past (especially the larger events, or any events near her home base), you may have met humbird7, aka Sandra, but for those who haven’t been fortunate enough to get to know her, or would like a refresher, you can check out her previous Player of the Week post HERE!

Hummingbird Details

To celebrate this momentus occasion, we’ve created a new temporary POB especially for humbird7 based on her signature bird and profile picture. As humbird7 always posts a lovely hummingbird photo on most of the bouncers she caps, we encourage you to also post photos and messages on these munzees as well, if you are lucky to cap one! We’re sure humbird7 will enjoy seeing your well-wishes!

The Hummingbird will remain on the map through the end of the year — 23:59 MHQ on Saturday, December 31st. We’ve deployed 100 of these on humbird7’s account!

Hummingbird
Points
  • Deploy: 0
  • Capture: 277
  • CapOn: 10
Additional Info
  • Available for multi-capture
  • Non-blastable
  • Attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets
  • Filters: “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials”

You can find these beautiful birds flying to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

  • Greenies
  • Premiums
  • Evolutions:
    • All stages of Tulip
    • All stages of Rose
    • All stages of Lily
  • Jewels:
    • Pink Diamond
    • Aquamarine

Badges

There is 1 badge you can earn by capturing a Hummingbird. Since there is only one, we’ll keep it a secret for now.

Queenly Wishes

After re-reading humbird7’s POTW post mentioned above, we checked to see if any of her wishes have been fulfilled since then, and which we could try to fulfill now that she’s Queen:

“My top wish is that the virtuals would not block physical placement; that there would be 2 layers to the game. Say, you visit Celebration Park and want to leave a physical, you can’t because of all of the virtuals in the area.”
→ Fulfilled on June 21, 2019 ✅

“I would also like the option of upgrading old Mystery Virtuals for a small fee so that the owner would receive more than 3 CapOn points.”
→ Fulfilled on October 19, 2018 ✅ (with no fee!)

“I would like a 250K Day badge…”
→ Still Unfulfilled ⚠️

“…as well as some myth badges for 250, 500, 1000, and the king of capping 1500 unique myths. I know this may be hard for some people, including myself, but it’s always good to have a goal.”
→ Fulfilled on August 18, 2017 ✅

Since the “Points in a Day” badge line was the only thing left for us to tackle, we got to work on extending it! It now has 4 more badges! They will be retroactive, but only within the last 30 days.

In addition, although we had fulfilled her wish about the “Unique Myth Capture” badge line, we’ve planned to extend it very soon with 1 more badge for each of the following myths:

  • Unicorn
  • Leprechaun
  • Dragon
  • Yeti
  • Faun
  • Hydra
  • Pegasus
  • Cyclops

You’ll notice the MythologiGals are left out — this is because their population hasn’t reached the same numbers as the other myths since they are the newest set. We’ll have to extend their badges some time in the future!

We’ll also extend the Unique Modern Myth Capture badge line by 1, most likely on the same day the Unique Myth Capture badges are extended!

We hope you join us in celebrating humbird7 — long may she reign!

Munzee on!

Calculate Your Pumpkoin Balance with this NEW Mech!

In our first Pumpkoins 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 Thursday, November 3rd (the expiration date we had set for Pumpkoins) — so you don’t need to worry about them going away like the items in the [Pumpkoins (Week X)] tab (which swaps out on 12:00 MHQ every Friday)!

The main change you’ll notice is that this new tab is limited to Premium members only.

Currently there’s only one item in there right now, so here’s everything you need to know!

Count Calcula Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, Count Calcula is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 5 times. At 12:00 MHQ today, it was made available in the Redeem Store in the [Pumpkoins Surprises] tab for 25 PC. If you decide to make the trade, a Count Calcula will be automatically deployed on your account at once! You will also receive the Blueprint to rebuild it when you have earned enough Cogs in the future.

Count Calcula
Points
  • Deploy: 678
  • Capture: 150-250
  • CapOn: 123-234
  • Nesting (5th Cap): 500
Landing Pads

You can find these toothy tools flying to the landing pads above every 6 hours or when captured.

Count Calcula will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Count Calcula on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Count Calcula visits you. Count Calcula is non-blastable. He will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access him by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When a Count Calcula is captured, it will scatter up to 3 BATteries.

BATtery
Points
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 25

These scatters will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Mech owner’s account. This means that unlike Air Mystery Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner!  They expire after 120 minutes, have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well. These scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Badges

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

Count Calcula Blueprints- Deploy 1 Count Calcula Munzee.

We hope Count Calcula makes math a little less scary!

Munzee on!

Changes to Joining a Clan

By now, you’ve probably seen at least one of the posts we put out earlier this month encouraging you to give Clan Wars a try! While we’ll continue to monitor your feedback on the Clan War Requirements, they aren’t the only things we’re looking to change and improve.

We want to ensure a competitive and fair battleground, so certain changes have been made regarding how players can join a clan. Moving forward players will only be able to join a clan until the 12th of each month. After the 12th you will be unable to join a new clan. When the 13th day of the month starts at MHQ it will be TOO late.

To help newer players take part in Clan Wars we’ll still allow accounts 90 days old and under to join all month long, but we still encourage solidifying your team by the 12th. We appreciate your understanding that these changes will benefit the integrity of Clan Wars as a whole.

As part of the app update that enforces this change, error popups have been added that will clearly show this new rule. That way, even those who haven’t yet seen this post should be aware of the new rule once they see the popups. This goes into effect October 13, 2022 – so be sure you join a clan BEFORE then if you are interested this month.

Munzee on!

Redeem Pumpkoins for Prizes!

You’ve heard of Candy Corn Credits, C04L Credits, Sham Rock Credits, and Painted Rose Credits — now get ready for Pumpkoin Credits! After reviewing the activity on Painted Rose Credits and making some improvements (we hope ?) we’ve created a new limited-time credit for you to earn and redeem!

Like Jewel Shards, Weapon Shards, and Cogs, you’ll be able to redeem Pumpkoin Credits (PC) at the Redeem Store for game pieces. However, like the past limited-time credits, they can only be redeemed until 02:30 MHQ on Thursday, November 3rd (when November Clan Wars starts).

How to Earn Pumpkoin Credits

Pumpkoin Credits can be earned from now until 23:59 MHQ on Monday, October 31st.

You can earn them the following ways:

Goodies You Can Get With Pumpkoin Credits

As usual, the most up-to-date list of what’s available will be what you see on munzee.com/redeem. Like the tabs for Painted Rose Credits, you’ll only be able to redeem items in the “Week 1” tab during Week 1, after which, only the “Week 2” tab will be visible until Week 3, and so on. So make sure to spend your credits each week!

The rewards/rates may change from time to time, but to start off with, this is what we have planned:

  • ALL Players:
    • 1 Fall Greeting Card: 1 PC, limited to 1 per non-Premium player, 5 per Premium player
    • 1 Wish I Was Here Greeting Card: 1 PC, limited to 1 per non-Premium player, 5 per Premium player
    • 1 Physical Magnet: 5 PC, limited to 1 per non-Premium player, 2 per Premium player
    • 1 Virtual Magnet: 5 PC, limited to 1 per non-Premium player, 2 per Premium player
    • 5 Cogs: 20 PC, limited to 1 per non-Premium player, 2 per Premium player
  • Premium Players:

However, you may see another tab appear later on, which will contain items that will remain available through the end of the month — this should appeal to those who are saving up!

We hope you enjoy cashing in these shiny new Pumpkoins!

Munzee on!

Enter the Candy Crypt, if You Dare!

This October, to get you in the mood for all things scary and spooky, we’ve gone a bit more gruesome with our themed specials — but with a sugary twist as you’ll see later on. For now, expect to see the usual trimmings of Halloween decor — think skeletons and monster parts — with a few sweet surprises mixed in. These specials are live NOW until 23:59 MHQ time on November 6th!

Candy Crypt Specials

These specials will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 2,000 Mummy Caskets and 2,000 Vampire Coffins. Though there will only be one icon shown on the map, at launch there are a possibility of 3 different icons for each (a total of 6 different results!) revealed after this special is captured.

Each icon will correspond with a different artifact that will not be visible until captured, similar to how the Magic 8 Ball specials worked. More artifacts will appear as the month goes on, so make sure to keep an eye out!

They will bounce around every 2 hours or when capped.

Mummy Casket Vampire Coffin
Points Points
  • Capture: 150
  • CapOn: 50
  • Capture: 150
  • CapOn: 50
Landing Pads Landing Pads

Curious as to the contents of these body boxes? We’ll give you a sneak peek, but you’ll have to track down some Candy Crypt specials to discover the other 5 (for now) options:

These munzees will not be blastable. They will be attracted to magnets, available from the Freeze Tag Online Store. You can access the Candy Crypt specials under the “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Specials” filters.

Badges

There is also a line of 5 new badges to earn. They are all based on receiving specific combinations of the results.

Since, as mentioned above, more artifacts will appear as the month goes on, at launch it is only possible to earn one of the badges, but we’ll keep it a secret for now.

A Peek at Pumpkoins

When you capture a Candy Crypt special, you have the chance to earn 1 Pumpkoin, which you can see below:

These will work just like past limited-time credits, for example the Candy Corn Credits (the first of their kind!) or the Painted Rose Credits (the most recent one before this one).

You can check out the new Pumpkoins (Week 1) tab in the Redeem Store by clicking HERE.

While everyone can earn Pumpkoins as usual, you’ll notice we’ve changed some rules in how they can be redeemed in the “Week X” tabs:

  • Some items can only be redeemed by Premium Members
  • Of the items available to all, non-Premium Members are limited to 1 redemption, whereas Premium Members will be able to redeem up to the max limit we’ve set

Make sure to keep checking back each week to see what you can trade in your Pumpkoins for!

More info to come in the next blog post!

Munzee on!

A Frightening Flat ZEE-Dayz!

While we announced our plans for a Greeting Card ZEE-Dayz well in advance, we didn’t want to leave this weekend out with nothing special going on!

ZEE-Dayz Bonus Details

From the period of Saturday, October 8th at 00:01 MHQ through Sunday, October 9th at 23:59 MHQ, enjoy double points on Flat Friends and Flat Objects!

Please note that Fancy Flats are excluded.

Friendly Reminders

Flat Friends/Objects are part of this month’s Clan War Requirements! To encourage more Clan War gameplay, we’ve moved requirements for specific munzee types, including those for Flat Friends/Objects, out of the Individual Requirements and into the Clan Requirements. We hope this allows your clan more flexibility in planning how to tackle each level!

We’ve also got quite a few events going on during this ZEE-Dayz! Don’t forget to check out the Munzee Calendar to see where you might like to deploy some munzees to get some capon points! While Greeting Cards are much easier to deploy due to their temporary nature, you may want to save them for the weekend of the 13th through the 16th as mentioned above. Then again, Greeting Cards are such a bargain, so you may decide to deploy both Greeting Cards AND Flats, if you can find the perfect spots on the map!

We hope you enjoy capping our flattened staff members this weekend!

Munzee on!

NEW Exclusive MunzPak Greeting Card Details

In April, we announced exclusive, Limited Edition Greeting Cards in Hybrid and Virtual MunzPaks! Here’s a sneak peek at what this month’s card looks like:

MunzPak October 2022 Card
Points
  • Limited Edition
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30

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!

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.

LAN Chop Details

The LAN Chop is the fifth in a new line of Meal Mechz, based on the food pyramid. These will launch exclusively through the MunzPak at various points throughout the year so be sure your subscription is set up!

LAN Chop
Points
  • Deploy: 500
  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 100
  • Burnt (5th Cap): 500
Additional Info
  • Cost to rebuild: 7 Cogs
  • Available for multi-capture
  • Non-blastable
  • Attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets
  • Filters: “All Expiring Specials”

LAN Chops are temporary POBs that will remain on the map until they have been captured 5 times. When you purchase a MunzPak, you will receive a fully-built LAN Chop that auto-deploys. You will also receive the Blueprint to rebuild it when you have earned enough Cogs in the future. For now, these Mechz will be available in this month’s MunzPak only — meaning the deadline to get one is 23:59 MHQ on Monday, October 31st.

You can find these marbled mechz sizzling at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

When a LAN Chop is captured, it will scatter up to 3 GRILL Guys. These will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the LAN Chop owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn rewards for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes, have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well. These scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

GRILL Guy
Points
  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points

Badges

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

We hope you’re looking forward to another Munzee-filled month!

Munzee on!
