Get a 2-for-1 Deal on Our Next Pair of Glasses!

Who needs Transitions lenses when you’ve got these babies?! Our fourth 20/20 Vision Munzee boasts 2 settings that allow you to adapt to your surroundings! These neon frames were deployed this afternoon at 15:00 MHQ. If you didn’t see any sparks fly on Valentine’s Day, maybe changing up your look with these glasses will make a difference!

Only two pairs of Flip Glasses will be deployed, and they will bounce to all colors of virtuals every 12 hours or when captured. These will be attracted to Virtual Magnets though so be sure to stock up! 

Points:

  • Cap: 200 points
  • CapOn (Host): 100 points

Capturing the Flip Glasses will add this totally rad Seeing Double badge to your collection! Remember, down the line we’ll be putting out an overall capture line, so don’t forget to check back for updates!

 

Despite their somewhat strange appearance, flip glasses have had a resurgence in recent years thanks to the increasing popularity of retro fashion and celebrities such as Lady Gaga sporting them. Have you ever owned a pair of flip glasses? We have a theory that every American received a pair of flip glasses and an umbrella hat at some point in their childhood.

You’ll be able to capture the 20/20 Vision specials on other players’ munzees as well as your own for the remainder of the year! As a reminder, all 20/20 Vision specials will leave the map on 12/31/2020 at 23:59 MHQ. More unique 20/20 Vision specials will launch throughout the year so keep on the lookout — you won’t want to miss out on these trendy lenses!

Show us how you Munzee! Tweet us @Munzee or be sure to post a photo and mention us on Facebook (@Munzee) or Instagram (@munzeeapp). Good luck, and Munzee on!

New Jewels Discovered in the Munzee Mines!

Back in 2015, we thought that we had completed our collection of Jewel Munzees with the release of the Amethyst. We even created the Family Jewels badge to celebrate! The MHQ Mining Co. refocused its efforts to dig up as many of the 6 jewels as it could, and abandoned exploratory digs to search for more. In 2016, the Pink Diamond was discovered in dragon hoards. As it was the result of the dragons’ fiery magic, the MHQ Mining Co. still believed that there were no new jewels left to discover. Turns out, they just had to dig a little deeper!

Our latest Jewel Munzees are here to bling up your part of the map! You can pick up the Citrine Jewel Munzee from the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE, and the Onyx Jewel Munzee HERE. If you have PinPoints, you’ll also have the option to purchase them in the PinPoints store! There is NO limit on purchase quantity per player. You can shop the entire Jewel Collection HERE!

Citrine and Onyx Jewel Details

To round out our rainbow of jewels, the Citrine and the Onyx were designed as virtual types. Now both physical and virtual players have five options each if they want something shiny!

Capture Radius: 300 feet, blastable

Deploy: 40 points for Citrine, 50 points for Onyx

Capture: 45 points for Citrine, 50 points for Onyx

CapOn: 40 points for both

To access these jewels, turn on your “Virtual – Jewels” filter. For more information on how to deploy a Citrine or an Onyx, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Some properties of these new jewels have yet to be discovered — will they attract myths like the Ogre, Chimera, etc., and if so, which? In the coming weeks we’ll need help from you, our fellow gemologists, to run some tests! Don’t forget to keep an eye out for any changes!

2x Jewels Weekend! 

To celebrate the launch of these two new Jewel types we’re making ALL Jewel Munzees worth double points for the weekend! Starting at 00:01 MHQ on February 21 players will be able to earn double points on Jewel Captures, Deploys, and CapOns. The bonus will last until 23:59 on Sunday February 23. This should help those in February Clan Wars, so be sure to stock up on Citrine and Onyx Jewels, and don’t forget we have the new Virtual Jewel Booster Pack and the Physical Jewel Booster Pack to earn even more points this weekend! You can shop the whole Jewel Collection HERE!

Munzee on!

Finding A Munzee Event Near You Has Never Been Easier!

Munzee Events have proven time and time again to be a great way to maintain the wonderful player community and to grow the game by introducing it to new players. As we’ve said before, one of our goals this year is to make Munzee Events easier for both hosts and attendees. We’ve taken steps toward that for hosts with our line of Event Spotlight blog posts, so now it’s time for us to do the same for attendees! 

We’re excited to announce that you’ll now be able to check out Munzee Events near you and more in our latest over-the-air (OTA) update!

Upcoming Events Screenshot

Munzee Events List Updates

One feature we’ve always wanted to improve in the app was the Events area. If you aren’t sure what we’re talking about, here’s a quick tutorial — tap on the Hamburger Menu and then tap on [Munzee Events].

We decided to take the best of both worlds! The current version of the app was designed to show much more helpful information than the Event Indicator pin’s munzee details. Now, the app displays the same information displayed on the Munzee Calendar, combined with the old way of showing the Event Indicator pin’s location. The list now shows the following:

  • Name of the event
  • Date of the event
  • Time of the event
  • A button to take you to the Munzee Calendar details

Additionally, events are now ordered in the list by date and time, which should be helpful for days with a series of events, such as the recent SunCoast and OzDayZee events, or the upcoming Munzee Madness 9 events! Distance-wise, events up to 500 miles away will appear in the list, in case you feel like taking a LONG drive!

Event Details Screenshot

Munzee Events Details Updates

We also updated what happens when you tap on an Event Indicator in the list to view its details. Along with the name, date, and time of the event, there is also:

  • A link out to the Munzee Calendar so you can easily mark whether you’re attending the event
    • NOTE: You’ll need to log into your Munzee account on the Calendar page for this to go through!
  • The address of the event location
  • Any extra details provided by the event host

As before, you can use the [Map] button to jump to the Event Indicator pin’s location on the map. This makes it easy to check if you’ve deployed any munzees nearby so you can rack up the points once the event takes place!

We hope this makes it much easier to find an event to look forward to, to pencil in some time for Munzee in your busy schedule, and to find more Munzee players nearby!

If you are a prospective Event Host, we hope this gives you a push in the right direction, as it should be much easier for people to find out about your event! Don’t forget that we are currently offering Spring Event packages if you want to match with our current theme!

Munzee On!

Sparks Fly on Valentine’s Day with these Goggles!

If you are a fan of Steampunk culture or have binge-watched too many episodes of Forged in Fire, our third 20/20 Vision Munzee is the perfect finishing touch to any outfit! These protective specs were deployed this afternoon at 15:00 MHQ, joining the Spectacular Spectacles and The King’s Sunglasses!

Only two pairs of Welding Goggles will be deployed, and they will bounce to Greenies every 12 hours or when captured. These will be attracted to Physical Magnets though so be sure to stock up! 

Points:

  • Cap: 200 points
  • CapOn (Host): 100 points

Capturing the Welding Goggles will add this industrial Bonds of Steel badge to your collection! Remember, down the line we’ll be putting out an overall capture line, so don’t forget to check back for updates!

 

According to Safety Glasses USA,

Welding Goggles are designed to provide protection for certain types of Gas Welding or Oxygen Cutting applications. Welding Goggles not only protect your eyes from the heat and flying debris, but also from intense ultraviolet and infrared light. Failure to use proper Welding Goggles can result in Photokeratitis, a painful condition similar to receiving a severe sunburn of the cornea!

You’ll be able to capture the 20/20 Vision specials on other players’ munzees as well as your own for the remainder of the year! As a reminder, all 20/20 Vision specials will leave the map on 12/31/2020 at 23:59 MHQ. More unique 20/20 Vision specials will launch throughout the year so keep on the lookout — you won’t want to miss out on these trendy lenses!

Show us how you Munzee! Tweet us @Munzee or be sure to post a photo and mention us on Facebook (@Munzee) or Instagram (@munzeeapp). Good luck, and Munzee on!

Meet The New Girl + Heartbreaker Prize Weekend + Virtual Capture Booster Release!

If you’re looking forward to a Munzee-filled Valentine’s Day Weekend, we have some extra surprises for you that’ll spice things up including an addition to the Heartbreaker Family!
Exciting Update: ALL Heartbreakers will also land on Treehouses through Monday morning!

Green Heartbreaker Munzee

The Yellow Heartbreaker Munzee didn’t like being the third wheel, so we’re excited to introduce the new girl in town, the Green Heartbreaker Munzee! If you’d like to make her yours, she is available at the Freeze Tag Online Store as an individual product! That’s right, you can now have up to four different Heartbreaker types bouncing around the map!

This new temp POB will be available for purchase for $5 from now until 10:00 MHQ on Tuesday Feb 18th. Each player can purchase up to two Green Heartbreakers each day they are available, which will come in handy for our Heartbreaker Prize Weekend… but more on that in a bit!

Like the other Heartbreakers, the Green Heartbreaker is a temporary POB. Similar to her main squeeze, the Yellow Heartbreaker, she will bounce to both physical and virtual munzees. She will stay on the map until 23:59 MHQ on March 31, when she will be automatically archived on your account. If you’ve ever deployed a Butterfly or Frog Evolution munzee, these will behave similarly with a few exceptions.

  • Deploy: 214 points
  • Capture: 214 points
  • CapOn: 100 points

While she may be a wallflower, she can blossom into the belle of the ball if she’s treated right! This shy and sweet Heartbreaker Munzee tiptoes to the following:

  • Greenies
  • All colors of Virtuals
  • Temporary Virtuals
  • Premium Munzees
  • Diamond
  • Ruby
  • Aquamarine
  • Topaz
  • Pink Diamond
  • Emerald (V)
  • Amethyst (V)
  • Sapphire (V)

Like her fellow Heartbreakers, she will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Heartbreaker on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Heartbreaker visits you. However, Heartbreakers are non-blastable. They will be attracted to Physical Magnets on Greenies and Virtual Magnets on all colors of Virtual Munzees. You can access Heartbreakers under the “Only Expiring Specials” filter.

Badges

All players who purchase a Green Heartbreaker will also receive the respective deploy badge shown below:

Now that all of the couples are together the real party can start! There is also a new capture badge anyone can earn that includes the Green Heartbreaker! The badge appears as follows:

Heartbreakers- Capture one of each type of Heartbreaker Munzee.

Virtual Capture Booster

What better way to boost your hearts this holiday season than with the release of the Virtual Capture Booster Credits! This booster was previously not available anywhere in our app or in our online store, as it is perhaps the most powerful of the four Boosters. We wanted to keep its use in check, but for a limited time Virtual Capture Boosters will be available as prizes from capturing Heartbreaker Munzees!

Weekend Bonuses!

To complement the release of this newest booster, we decided to let the other 3 come out to play as well! This weekend, when a Heartbreaker Temporary POB is captured, both capper and deployer have a chance to earn a Booster Credit or a Sapphire Munzee in addition to their usual points. This includes the all NEW Virtual Capture Booster!

This special bonus will last from 00:01 on Feb 14 until 23:59 on Feb 16. Capping a Heartbreaker doesn’t guarantee you’ll get a prize, so try to cap as many Heartbreakers as you can this weekend! Remember, alongside the Green Heartbreaker you can get a Yellow, Pink, and Red Heartbreaker in the three respective MunzPaks to increase your chances of getting a prize! They will all stay on the map until the end of March.

We hope you won’t get a heart attack chasing after these mischievous Munzees!

Munzee On!

Event Spotlight: Birmingham, Alabama – April Fool’s Lunch

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 Birmingham, Alabama – April Fool’s Lunch, which took place on April 5, 2019 at The Purple Onion in Birmingham, AL and was hosted by giber54, Mdeezy, Robelwilson, and timandweze.

Give us a brief summary about your event!

Every month in Birmingham we have a CoExist lunch (Munzee and Geocaching) on a Friday. These monthly events have helped us introduce many new players to Munzee and helped build a strong Munzee community in Alabama.

What tips do you have when hosting an awesome event?

  1. Always have your friends cohost with you- It just makes it more fun!
  2. Always publicize your events. Not everyone looks at the calendar regularly. Sharing about your events on Social Media is a great way to get the word out.
  3. Make sure your event location has seating and a table or two. It makes it easier for attendees to chitchat and scan each other’s personals.
  4. Consider creating a Virtual Garden at your event location. More Munzees to cap is a good thing! ?

What made your event unique?

Usually at our Friday lunch events we have only locals. This event was attended by players from all over the country. This was also CoachV’s first time ever attending an event in Alabama. Also the Space Coast Geo-Store was there vending. There was also a free prize raffle for both the Munzee and Geocaching events.

Would you like to highlight any future events you’re hosting?

On Friday, April 17th- there will be 2 “Fall Into Spring” Events in Birmingham, Alabama.

A CoExist lunch and there will also be a special challenge event.

https://calendar.munzee.com/event1580525937/

https://calendar.munzee.com/event1580700208/

Thank you to giber54, Mdeezy, Robelwilson, and timandweze for being such great hosts! We will be reaching out to other past event hosts in the future, so keep an eye on your inbox!

A special thank you to Robelwilson for submitting the details for this event! Also of note is that Robelwilson is the first player to earn the 85 Times Host badge, which is part of an expanded badge line we’ve created to honor hosts with above and beyond event counts! 

You can see a little teaser for the 100 Times Host badge below- it’s quite the spectacle! It’s a race to see who will get this badge first, though we’re sure Robelwilson is one of the ones to beat! Don’t forget we have “Fall Into Spring” Event Packages available for sale so what better time than the future to start earning those hosting badges!

However, Heartbreakers will be non-blastable. They will be attracted to Physical Magnets on Greenies and Virtual Magnets on all colors of Virtual Munzees. You can access Heartbreakers under the “Only Expiring Specials” filter.

Badges

All players who purchase a MunzPak (which will automatically deploy the respective Heartbreaker) will also receive the respective deploy badge shown below:

Additionally, there will be three badges anyone can earn based on number of captures of Heartbreaker specials. But just how many captures it takes to earn all 3 badges will be kept a secret! However, we will reveal the first badge in the line, which appears as follows:

Love At First Sight- Capture 1 Heartbreaker Munzee of any type.

Remember these temporary POBs will only be available for capture until the end of March, so cap as many as you can and keep them bouncing!

Munzee on!

We’re Ready To FALL Into SPRING With NEW Event Packages!

It’s time to FALL Into SPRING! No matter what hemisphere you live in, we’re celebrating both Spring and Fall with Munzee Events this season. We have four different “Fall Into Spring” Event packages to choose from!

Fall Into Spring Event packages will be available in the Freeze Tag Online Store as of the publication of the blog. However, they are only applicable to events occurring from March 17 to April 19. It’s important to purchase a package as soon as possible so that you can let us know your art request if you’re purchasing a package containing a badge and icon.

Each package features a unique host badge for themed fun, with each badge (pictured above) depending on which package is purchased. The package options are:

All packages also contain an Attendee Badge. Take your Fall Into Spring Event to the next level with additional add-ons that you can purchase through the Munzee Events Team.

So get those events on the calendar, purchase your Fall Into Spring Packages, and start communication for artwork requests nice and early please! As Trish’s diary fills up, we will have to move to generic artwork, so act as soon as possible if you are seeking custom art!

We’ll also have more details regarding an upcoming community competition closer to the start of the Fall Into Spring events. This will be similar to the Best Dressed competitions at past events and players will be able to win a unique badge. Stay tuned for more! 

Once more, the Munzee Events Team is here to walk you through every step of the updated event hosting process, with each detail outlined on the Help Guide for full access. Start the year fresh and catch up with friends you missed during the holidays!

Let’s Fall into Spring!

Munzee on!

Sound Off in Our New Survey!

Back in September, we circulated a survey with some questions we had about Munzee gameplay. We got a great number of responses, and released some of the results when the survey period ended in October. The team found the results extremely valuable, since they let us know which areas we were on track in, and which we need to work on. We also came up with more ideas to improve the game based on the results. After doing a lot of brainstorming for this year, we have a ton of ideas we’d like to run by you, the players!

The link to the survey is HERE.

To sweeten the deal, we’ll be doing another random prize drawing! Like in our previous survey, you can submit your username at the end for an entry.

The survey will be closed at the end of February (Leap Day). We are looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Munzee On!
