World Heritage Munzees!

Following the release of the Florida and California Historic Munzees, we thought it would be good to release some international Historic Munzees. We are happy to announce we have launched a new Munzee type for just that! The World Heritage Location Munzees will be deployed at culturally significant locations around the world at 00:01 MHQ Friday July, 27.

Similar to the Historical Location Munzees, the World Heritage Location Munzees are deployed by an MHQ account worldwide based on a database of historically significant attractions. This includes locations like the Grand Canyon National Park, the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House and more.

When captured, players will earn between 19 and 45 points. These virtual munzees are not blastable, so you’ll have to get out and learn a bit more about these unique locations! If you notice any that are deployed in the wrong location please contact support with the name/URL of the munzee and correct information.

There is not currently a line of badges for these since they will be so spread apart, but expect news regarding an overall Tourism badge line in the near future! As we have stated before, we plan to continue to expand this line of munzees into more states and different countries as well in the coming months.

Good luck on your historical hunting! Munzee on!

California Historic Location Munzees!

Hot on the trail of the release of the Florida Historic Munzees, we’re proud to announce that we have expanded that line to the golden state of California! Just in time for our FTHQ Birthday event, we’re excited for our great community of California players as well as any travelers that make it to the West Coast.

The CA Historical Location Munzees are deployed by an MHQ account throughout the state based on a database of historical markers. When captured, players will earn between 18 and 50 points. These virtual munzees are not blastable, so you’ll have to get out and learn a bit more about the golden state! If you notice any that are deployed in the wrong location please contact support with the name/URL of the munzee and correct information.

The CA Historic Location Munzees will hit the map at 00:01 MHQ Friday 7/20. You’ll be able to earn a new set of five badges for capturing CA Historical Location Munzees.

We plan to continue to expand this line of munzees into more states and different countries as well in the coming months. We are actively planning a worldwide line right now!

Good luck on your historical hunting! Munzee on!

MHQ Visit Requests

We love it when players choose to visit MHQ. To give you the best experience possible, we would love for you to let us know in advance. This is especially the case if you are traveling long distances and have a limited time to visit MHQ.

To ensure you have a great time visiting us, we have set up a Google Form that can be found here and on our contact page.

After filling out this form (which contains contact information and date/time of visit among other things), you will be contacted by Teraca (our Director of HR) to confirm your visit as well as let you know any pertinent information. If there is a conflict with your request, she will try and work out a solution with you.

**Please note that it is not necessary to fill out this form when attending official MHQ events found on the Munzee Calendar such as our 6th Birthday Event or MHQ Bash. The on-site Munzee store is also open anytime during our work hours, so this form is specific to those players who are interested in a special tour/visit.

We’ve had players from all over the world visit MHQ, and we can’t wait to meet more people. Schedule your visit today!

Breast Cancer Awareness Special

If you attended Lone Star Bash, you probably heard us talk about an upcoming special for Breast Cancer Awareness. As RedCarRobbie said at Sunday’s event, almost every person has been affected by breast cancer in some way or another. We have heard many stories from the community, and we want to show our support.

We are partnering with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to raise money for those affected by breast cancer. This foundation, located in Frisco, Texas just 20 miles from MHQ, reaches many people around the world through research and services provided. We encourage you to check out their website if you would like to learn more about them. To support them, we are proud to announce the Breast Cancer Awareness special.

For this special, there will be two types of pins: BCA Garden Pin and BCA Temporary Munzee. While they have the same icon, they function differently.

BCA Garden Pin

We have constructed a BCA Garden by the NBCF offices in Frisco that will remain a permanent fixture on the map. There are a limited number of spots available in the garden, so there is a limit of 2 BCA Garden Pins per person. The point structure for these pins are:

Capture: 20
CapOn: 20
Deploy: 20

After checkout, these will be automatically deployed for you. These are available in the Munzee Online Store now for $10.

BCA Temporary Pins

The BCA Temporary Pins can be placed anywhere on the map (they are restricted to normal proximity to other pins, i.e. 50ft from other players’ deploys and 150ft from your own). These will be on the map through December 31st at 23:59 MHQ time. To avoid oversaturation, there is a purchase limit of 50 pins per account. The point structure for these pins are:

Capture: 10
CapOn: 10
Deploy: 10

After checkout, these will be added to your undeployed list. These are also available now in the Munzee Online Store for $2 each. They will be available for purchase until October 31st at 23:59 MHQ time.

Things to note:

Both the BCA Garden Pins and Temporary Pins ARE blastable.
There is a badge (see below) for capturing or deploying either of the BCA Pins.

The BCA Temporary Pins are active in Quick Deploy.
There is an in-app filter for the BCA pins. You will need to activate it.

To get the party started MHQ is pledging a base donation of $5000 from October sales to date from blast cap purchases. We have also added ONE BCA Temporary Munzee to all premium member accounts at the time of this announcement!

The Munzee community has always been very giving and compassionate, and we hope to see that trend continue with this fundraiser! Thank you for all of your support! 100% of the funds raised during this time will be donated to NBCF on behalf of our worldwide players! In early November we plan to present a check to NBCF. In conjunction, we will host a player event in the area so stay tuned for more information!

Munzee on!

Texas History Begins at the Lone Star Bash

This year, our annual party at Munzee HQ is Texas themed. We are excited to share Texas-based activities, locations, and history. With this in mind, we are deploying a new type of Munzee around Collin County, and expanding through the rest of the state during the event. It will give players the opportunity to visit some of our historical locations and learn a bit more about this state we are proud to call home.

This is all part of an initiative to grow communities worldwide and give you a chance to help us grow the map and share significant historical locations. This program will begin soon after we pilot it at the Lone Star Bash. We will announce full details and give you the opportunity to help us load the map with special places! Stay tuned and Munzee On!

MHQ Lone Star Bash!

Since the first MHQ Bash two years ago, the event has continued to grow each year as the biggest Munzee event worldwide. Much like our home state, everything is bigger in Texas so we’re continuing the tradition this year with MHQ Bash 3 dubbed “MHQ Lone Star Bash”!

MHQ Lone Star Bash will take place on October 7th, 8th, and 9th all around the Dallas area. This three day event aims to celebrate our amazing players and the great state that Munzee was created in. The schedule of events is as follows:

Friday, October 7th

Lone Star Bash Kickoff (6 PM): We’ll be kicking off Lone Star Bash at TUPPs brewery once again with food catered by Green Pin Kitchen. The kickoff will work as a meet and greet with the MHQ staff (the entire global team will be here!) and other players from around the world.

Saturday, October 8th

Lone Star Bash Games (9 AM): The fun continues on Saturday morning at Gabe Nesbitt Park in McKinney, Texas. There will be plenty of room to cap and deploy while having fun and playing Texas-themed Eventzee games.
Lone Star Bash Fair Day (4 PM): What better way to cap (pun intended) off a day of fun than to visit The State Fair of Texas! We’ll be riding the train down to the State Fair and spending the evening exploring what it has to offer. Join the State Fair themed Eventzee hunt to really get a taste of Texas!

 Sunday, October 9th

Lone Star Dash (8 AM): With all of our talk about fitness, we’ve decided to integrate it into our event. We’ll be hosting a 5K (complete with runner’s bibs and medals) to finish off the weekend! Dress in a TX themed costume for a chance to win a prize! After the 5K, we will have breakfast and a send off event for everyone.]

Runzee Beta Testing

We are spreading our Munzee wings and truly taking our 2015 theme, “New Year, New Perspective”, to a new level. We’ve created a game that doesn’t rely on geolocation or the use of a camera. Runzee is a “Runner” game for mobile that you will allow you to collect Munzee pins in a whole new way.

You can watch a preview of gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLaDJ8JkW-A

If you want to follow the development process, you can like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter. The Runzee website will also be updated as more information becomes available.

Thanks!

(CZeeO Note: From 3pm MHQ time Monday, July 20th until 3pm MHQ time Tuesday, July 21st, prizes will be randomly awarded for captures (EXCLUDING socials) and deploys. We can’t thank the Munzee community enough for all of their support!)

Goodbye Mystery, Hello Mini!

We love all of our different types of Munzees, but sometimes, you just have to let go and make changes. In that spirit, we say out with the old and in with the new! It’s time for the mystery sticker to retire. Welcome the new and improved mini mystery sticker!

Each sticker is a generic code to be used/shared by the purchaser. On deploy, the owner receives 25 points. Each capture will yield 10 cap on points for the owner while the player who captures will receive a mystery number of points from 5-50 in multiples of 5. The icon remains the same as the original mystery, and only the points and the size of the sticker have changed. Mystery fields will now include mini mystery stickers as well.

(Note: Rob wanted to help out the media team and designed an image for the event.)
