Munzee Birthday Whirlwind Tours!

Munzee’s birthday is a big deal. Each year we get to celebrate not only the anniversary of the launch of Munzee in July 2011, but another year of getting to do what we love. This year, the support for our birthday events has been tremendous, and Team Munzee wants to get out there and celebrate with our players. Members of Team Munzee will be involved in Munzee Birthday Whirlwind Tours in North America and Europe to visit players and attend birthday events that have been scheduled on the Munzee Calendar. The events that will be attended are as follows:

For those areas and countries that aren’t on this list, fret not! We realize that we have players all over the world, but we still only have a relatively small staff. We have plans in the works to visit players to show our support and grow the game in other parts of the world (*cough cough, Australia and New Zealand*).

We look forward to seeing and meeting players all over the world and kicking off year 5 with a bang!

Changes in Team Munzee

Much like our player community, Team Munzee is very close. In just over a year, we’ve expanded from three people in the office to almost 10, plus our remote employees. We are all very supportive of each other and constantly push one another to become better at what we do. With that being said, there have been some changes within MHQ that we would like to notify our players of.

First, our UX/UI Designer, Peter, has left Munzee to further his career and broaden his experiences. He did amazing work for Munzee while he was here and helped the company transition to cutting edge designs and ideas. We are extremely happy for him and wish him nothing but the best in his future.

Second, it’s time to bring our Munzee Events Manager out of the shadows. Louise Gibson has been working behind the scenes as “Team Munzee” for the last 5 weeks on all of your player events. She’s done an amazing job and taken care of each event from the time it’s added to the calendar until the prizes have been awarded and the event archived. You will have a chance to get to know her more in depth on an upcoming Meet Munzee Monday post.

Third, Dylan has transitioned from Master of Media Management to Director of Operations for Eventzee. He rose to the challenge and took charge of Eventzee when asked and has done a great job. Though he will still be involved with the game of Munzee, his focus is now on growing and overseeing Eventzee as is expands.

And finally, Matt has moved into the position left by Dylan’s transition and is now the Director of Media and Player Relations. Among other things, he will plan and publish media for Munzee Inc and interact with players to help grow the game.

As Munzee Inc grows and expands, our staff does, too. We’re excited for what’s to come, and know that none of what we do would be possible without you, the players. Thank you for all of your support, and grow the game!

May Flowers

April showers bring May flowers. Well we here at MHQ have had plenty of rain recently, and we’ve decided to spruce up the map with some of those May flowers. Starting NOW, 555 May Flower icons will be blooming on the physical greenies and bounce every six hours unless captured before then. The capper will receive 17 points while the owner of the host Munzee will receive 7 points. These icons will be on the map until 2359 MHQ time on Sunday, May 31st.

You can use the map at http://www.munzee.com/mayflowers to find icons near you.

Zee- A Munzee Companion App is now available for download!

UPDATE: It may take up to 24 hours for the app to propagate worldwide, so if it doesn’t first appear, check back over time.

We’re proud to announce that our new app Zee is now available for download for iOS and Android devices! This new Munzee companion app has been designed as a handy tool to take your Munzee experience to the next level. Taking key points from Munzee, the Zee app adds new depths to your real world scavenger hunt. Check out your daily points, convert munzees in the field and more!

It’s easy to use, just download Zee- A Munzee Companion App in the Apple or Google Play store, login with your Munzee account info and start. The Zee app will showcase a realtime point counter so you can keep track of your daily progress. Looking at conquering the 10K badge? Preparing for the precise Pi badge? Then Zee is the tool for you.

You can also finally convert munzees in the field using the Zee app. Whether you’re deploying a diamond, coloring a virtual or sharpening a battle axe, Zee makes it easy to convert on the fly. Don’t take our word for it though, download Zee and convert NOW. Just what will you convert though? Well funny you should ask…

In connection to Zee’s release we are also releasing the new Aquamarine Jewel pin! This is our 218th unique munzee pin and to commemorate Zee’s birth month of March it is the light blue semi-precious stone. Like other members of the jewel collection this is a conversion munzee and can be attached to any greenie. This special icon earns 25 points for deployment. The owner receives 10 points for each capture on the munzee and the capper earns 10 points. Yes, we realize that Zee and the Aquamarine pins are actually being released in April and not March, but it took a little longer to mature than we expected. We stand by our decision.

Premium members have received one free Aquamarine credit (which you can see at munzee.com/credits), but those who download the Zee app from April 6th-12th will also receive another free credit. Accounts that have signed into Zee by the deadline will receive the free credit on April 13 at 10:00 a.m. MHQ time. Aquamarine credits will also be on sale in the Munzee online store for a limited amount of time.

You do NOT have to be a premium member to download Zee or receive the free aquamarine credit upon download. We suggest you become a premium member so you don’t miss out on more freebies in the future though. You can learn more about becoming a premium player at http://store.munzee.com/Premium-Member-Subscription.html.
