Announcing the #DontTellRob Sale!

Rob has gone missing!

Well not really. Our faithful Munzee President Rob Vardeman is just taking a much needed vacation and left the rest of us in charge. So while Rob is away, MHQ will play! The power has gone to our heads though, and we’ve decided to have a #DontTellRob sale in the Munzee store all week. Starting NOW until Saturday at midnight MHQ Time we’ll have exclusive sales on a variety of items. Get to the store now, before Rob finds out!

Flat Rob Pins

Flat Bob had his fun masquerading around for Eventzee, but now Flat Rob is taking his rightful place on the Munzee map. Flat Rob pins will be virtual munzees available for $5 in the online store until Saturday at 23:59 MHQ time. Once they’re gone, they won’t be available for purchase until Rob leaves again- and he doesn’t do that very often!

These unique virts can be deployed anywhere without having to worry about proximity to other types of munzees. Proximity rules will be in effect regarding other Flat Rob pins (i.e. 50ft between other players’ deploys). These munzees will earn you 19 points for deploy and a 76 point split for capture and cap-on. You’ll also get a badge for capping or deploying a Flat Rob.

There’s a slight catch, though. Flat Rob pins can only be deployed and captured while Rob is out of the office (vacations, Munzee events, holidays, etc). So make sure you deploy these pins before Saturday. These will count toward personal streaks and can be capped by a blast cap.

Be sure to share your Flat Rob location on social media and include the #DontTellRob hashtag as well. So let’s see Flat Rob all across the map until the real Rob gets back on Saturday!

These are available for purchase and will be visible on the map until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

Bejeweled

Hot off the heels of the Family Jewels Badge we have a Jewel Credit Pack available in the store for $15. These four jewel credits would normally cost you $21- so it’s like getting an Amethyst for free! Who could pass up that offer?

This includes:

1 Diamond credit
1 Ruby credit
1 Aquamarine credit
1 Amethyst credit.

This is available until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

Blast Off

Starting today you will be credited a free Blast Capture for spending $50 or more in the Munzee store. So bombs away!

This is available until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

Surprise Sacks

Starting Wednesday Oct. 28th at 09:00 MHQ time, randomized Virtual Grab Bags will be available in the Munzee store. These grab bags will be $15 for a minimum of $20 value.

Items that they may include are:

Blast Captures
Virtual Colors
Hotels
Motels
Jewels (Diamond, Ruby, Aquamarine, Amethyst)
Socials
Secure Socials
Rovers

To top it off, random purchases will be chosen to receive Double Grab Bags which feature double the goods!

This is available until 23:59 MHQ time on Saturday, October 31st.

So get to the store and remember, #DontTellRob! Let’s give him a nice surprise when he comes back from a week of rest and relaxation!

Email issues

Over the past 48 hours we’ve had some issues with our email client. We are working to figure this out. If you have a pressing need or you’ve already sent an email and have not received a response please visit www.munzee.com/contact for an updated email list. This will allow you to directly email the appropriate department. We hope to have the issue resolved soon. This has effected all outgoing email as well; clan, nearby deployed, daily email, etc.

Thanks for your patience as we work it out.

Munzee Referral Codes

Growing the map doesn’t only mean deploying munzees. Getting other people interested and out playing is a huge part of growing our game. As an incentive to get others involved, we’re introducing a referral program. If a player with less than 10 captures scans your referral code, you’ll immediately be awarded 10 points and they’ll be awarded 50 points to get them going. If they continue to play, you’ll receive 10 points again with every 100 caps of the introduced player.

To learn more about the referral program and to see your referral code, visit https://www.munzee.com/referral and get started!

Goodbye September!

September is leaving us in just a few hours so we wanted to remind you of a few things that are leaving the Munzee game as well.

The old app. Wave farewell to the 2.x version of the Munzee app. On October 1st, it will be disabled, and Munzee will only exist in the 3.0 app. Read more about the reasons in our previous blog post.
Mystery Virtual Munzees. Adios to this fun item. It is retiring to make way for fun, new products in the future. Don’t worry, the current MVM will always remain in play and so will those in your undeployed list. A limited number will remain in the store until October 1st.

October Clan Wars center around the Munzee family jewels. Get your hands on some jewels to deploy today. Also, don’t forget about our clan transfer market if you are interested in finding a new clan or filling your current clan.

MHQ Bash 2015 and MHQ EuroBash 2015 are going on during the October 9-11 weekend. In honor of the Bash taking place in the UK, a VERY limited number of emerald pins will be sold today at 3:30pm MHQ time. They will appear in the store at this link. Limited to 1 per player. Check the calendar for any other local events you might be interested in attending. Also, don’t forget about the special Christmas events during the month of December.

We’ve got a lot more things coming soon, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Munzee Player of the Week: Marie Hunniecutt (hunniees)

As Munzee has grown over the years, the game has evolved in so many more ways than any of the co-founders could have imagined. We’ve certainly had our fair share of growing pains, but in its essence Munzee has tried to stick to its core goal of getting people out into the world. No one knows this better than those players who have been with us since the beginning. This week’s Player of the Week is Marie Hunniecutt (hunniees).

Who are you?
I am the spouse of a munzee addict (dt07751) and a Florida Cracker. No, a Florida Cracker is not a biscuit or snack food but a native Floridian. 😉 Florida is a major cattle producer in the US and “Cracker” refers to the sound a whip makes when hearding cattle

Where in the world do you live?
I live in Lithia, Florida in the US, a munzee rich area. This is in central Florida not too far from Disney World or the beach.

How long have you played Munzee?
I started playing munzee about 2 years ago on a family vacation in the Midwest

How did you find Munzee?
We scanned a munzee posted on a Lake Superior Lighthouse. Thank you lrgrego for including a little information about munzee along with the QR! Since this was a driving vacation, I thought it would be fun to try it out. There weren’t many munzees on our trip or near our home at that time. Once we figured out tree hides and deployed our first mystery munzee, we were hooked.

What do you most enjoy about Munzee?
There are so many things I love about this game!

Social Munzees
No, you don’t get points, but you get the chance to meet and interact with people from all over the world sharing and trading Social Munzees. I have met such wonderful people and made many new friends via Social Munzees.
Walking
My work as an accountant required lots of time sitting and staring at a computer. (Of course, you can tell I am an accountant from the numbered lists. 😉 ) Munzee gets you out of doors, increases your activity, and gives you new venues to explore.
Exploring
Since my hubby and I like to travel, Munzee provides a way to explore new surroundings. By following Munzee Trails, we find lovely places that you wouldn’t read about in a travel brochure. One of my favorite spots in Cologne is a park that we found following a Mystery Munzee trail. Then, there are the munzees in Bergen overlooking the harbor…breathtaking.
Through meeting other players, we explored new areas including Southend by the Sea, Celle, and Berlin. Thank you Tatch, Mary, McRon, Plueschi, JackSparrow and ChickenRun for making our visits so special.
The Players!
Whether it be earning a badge, learning how to create a social, or understanding game play, most munzee players go out of their way to reach out and lend a helping hand. I love helping other players and learning new munzee tips. Munzee is at its best when players work together.
Clan Battles.
Munzee does a good job of highlighting different aspects of the game in Clan Battles. I enjoy seeing which new aspect of the game will be incorporated each month. Wouldn’t it be great to see Social Munzees in next month’s battle?

What is on your wish list?

Fitbit badges.
The relationship between munzee and fitbit is a natural. It would be great to recognize the exercise benefits of munzee.
More Rover badges.
While we have badges for the number of rovers handled, the rover leaderboard is not currently recognized via badges. A badge for the number of rovers owned and unleashed might be helpful in making rovers a larger part of the game.
Official Munzee Communications pushed to email and the application.
When we first began playing munzee we missed a lot of key information since we were not using Facebook. I am now actively using FaceBook but find that many munzee players are still missing key information. The recent munzee Amethyst communication via the app was great and I hope this continues.
Landing Page Redesign.
While I love seeing recent captures and popular deployments on my munzee landing page, social munzees are commingled with virtuals and physicals. For those individuals with social munzees, the current design preventsready identification of popular physical/virtual deployments. It would be great to have social munzee deployments listed separate from other deployments.
Personal Munzees for Sale.
Great idea to develop a personal locationless munzee. My mouth has been watering since I saw them in July but regrettably I was not the winner. Pretty please release them for sale!
Application Capacity.
With the recent sale of Emeralds or other special event sales/activities, munzee speed and response seems to be a consistent issue. I expect sales are lost due to member frustration during these periods and that increased revenue which would offset additional capacity cost.

Tell us about yourself!
I am happy to be part of the Florida Munzee Family and a member of a great clan, Florida Munzee Hunters SuperChuckers. Florida is a great place to munzee! Should you ever come here to visit, please send me a note. It would be great to have you visit Florida and I would be happy to share tips and information about munzeeing here. Summers are pretty hot and humid, so Florida is best seen in the Fall, Winter or Spring. 🙂

Other hobbies include:
Baking. That is all I can squeeze in with munzee

hunniees also included some socials (one of which is on the Header Image), so cap away!

Translators Needed!

Are you interested in helping Munzee translate the 3.0 app into your language? We need your help! We are looking for up to 5 individuals to complete this work over the next 7-10 days. If you have a little spare time, a love for Munzee, and the ability to translate from English to your language please let us know! Email info@munzee.com with the subject “Translate”. Include your name, Munzee username, and language you would like to translate to in the body of the email. We will offer compensation in the form of credits and virtuals based on timely completion of the project. Thanks in advance!

The form is shared as a Google doc.

Virtual Emerald Garden Locations

The official list of new Virtual Emerald Gardens is here. Along with the launch of these new gardens, we have also increased the capture radius of all Virtual Emeralds. You only need to be within 1500 feet (500 meters) of the virtual emerald in order to capture it. This will allow for all pins to be hand capped and not require blast capture. If you’d like to see all of the official gardens in one location you can visit www.munzee.com/gardens. Each garden has a virtual exclusion zone built in to protect the integrity of the design, however physical munzees are still able to be deployed in the area.

New Emerald Gardens

With the release of the Family Jewels badge, Team Munzee realizes not everyone has had the chance to cap or deploy a Virtual Emerald Munzee due to the limited number of gardens. We want to make sure everyone has the chance to do so. August 14th, we will be releasing Virtual Emerald Munzees for sale in 10 gardens across the world. The locations of these gardens have been chosen to spread the Munzee love as far as we can. They range from popular Munzee destinations to areas that had large presence during Birthday Month thanks to dedicated birthday party hosts. Specific locations will be revealed tomorrow, but the countries of the new gardens are as follows:

United States
Netherlands
Germany
UK
Czech Republic
Hungary
Australia
One special garden is multi-national

Sale Details

Instead of selling pins to each garden, we’ve randomized the pins and will be selling them all together. For example, if you purchase two pins, one may be in Germany while the other is in Australia. This is to spread out ownership of the gardens and give players different opportunities for cap on points and locations. The Emerald pins will be sold in three waves. The first wave will begin at 9am MHQ time for Premium Members, and all players will be able to purchase at 10am MHQ time. The second wave will begin at 2pm MHQ time for Premium Members, and all players will be able to purchase at 3pm MHQ time. The third wave will begin at 5pm for ALL PLAYERS. There will be a limit of 5 pins per player. We ask that you be patient while trying to access the Munzee Store. Large numbers of server requests at once can lead to issues while checking out. If you have trouble completing checkout, keep trying. The link for the pins will be found in the family jewels category https://store.munzee.com/Family-Jewels/, and will be live tomorrow at 9am MHQ time. All jewels in the store will be available at this time.

We’d also like to remind players that the Topaz and Virtual Amethyst Munzees are only available in the MunzPak which can be subscribed to at https://www.munzee.com/munzpak.
