Ready To Ride with Flat Lou?

UPDATE: Flat Lou is now for sale in the Freeze Tag Online Store! Go HERE to get yours! 

Our Flat friends, Flat Rob and Flat Matt, have become a staple of the game and we’re excited to announce a certain flat female is joining their ranks- say hello to Flat Lou!

Three years ago Louise Gibson took over the management of our worldwide player run events. She streamlined the process, improved communication, and provided excellent customer service around the clock in her first few weeks. Over the course of her three years Louise has interacted with hundreds of different player hosts, managing over 1500 unique events.  After three years as an extraordinary Events Manager, she has more than earned her spot among her two-dimensional pals.

The first Flat Lou will be released as a permanent special at Tower Bridge in London, England on May 1st at 15:00 MHQ and they’ll go on sale at the same time in the Freeze Tag Online Store. Flat Lous work much like the other Flats, but there are some differences.

As a not-so-flat-footed cyclist, Flat Lous will be activated at various times including when Louise is racing, when she attends Munzee events, major event seasons and more. Please note that all scheduled times are based on MHQ time and are subject to change. To start things off with a bang though, Flat Lous will be active for the entire month of May.

Another thing that makes Flat Lou so special is that she helps give back too! In connection to Freeze Tag’s sponsorship of the American Diabetes Association, $0.25 of each Flat Lou sale will be donated to ADA to help diabetes research and awareness. Flat Lous will also be active during each Tour de Cure race weekend throughout the year as well.

Flat Lou virtual pieces will be for sale in the Freeze Tag Online Store tomorrow for $4.25, and there will also be a limited amount of the Flat Trio design Personal Munzee tags too. Premium members can also expect a free Flat Lou tomorrow at 17:01 MHQ as well. You can sign up for a Premium Membership at HERE.

Here is the general breakdown of Flat Lous:

Points:

Deploy – 19 Points
Cap/CapOn – Split 78 points with a minimum of 10 points.

Proximity: 

Flat Lous’ proximity is not affected by other munzees except other Flats. Flat Lous must be 50ft from other players’ deploys and 150ft from your own deploys.

You’ll also be able to earn a variety of badges for capturing and deploying Flat Lous.

Capture Badges:

We’re also excited to announce that we’re launching a new emerald garden at Louise’s favorite training site- Richmond Park in London! The roads around the park even make a pin shape too! Check out the map HERE. You can purchase one of the emerald garden pins, Flat Lous, and personal tags in the Freeze Tag Online Store tomorrow, May 1st at 15:00 MHQ.

The ceLOUbration continues around the world with special player-run Louise Gibson Appreciation Society (LGAS) events throughout May. These events have been entirely set up by player hosts to show their appreciation for Louise’s event management efforts. Find the LGAS events on the Munzee Calendar page, and let them know if you’d like to join in the fun!

Thank you all for showing our Flat friends so much love! We know Flat Lou will make a great addition to the family. Munzee on!

ZeeOps: May 2018 Missions

Since the last issue with the Evo Munzees, Director Zee has ordered a halt on all further development. Unfortunately during the Zodiac Vigilante’s Evo antics earlier this year, the shape shifting creatures are still roaming the world. We must continue our efforts to monitor and capture Evos.

The Zodiac Vigilante has revealed that the First Clan and The Rising Sons are collecting Evos for their own nefarious schemes. Although the masked man has been holding them off on his own, he has turned to ZeeOps HQ for aid. Be weary though, his allegiances are his own, which is both good and bad.

Emerald Pins

Following the Go Green events, we have a limited number of Emerald Garden Pins remaining. We’re offering these for purchase to finish the gardens that have been released. When purchased, an Emerald Munzee will be automatically deployed into one of these gardens. Will yours land near the newly added Tour de Cure event in Seattle with coachV? See the map of all current emerald gardens here!

Emerald Garden Pins are available for $10, and you can purchase one per account per day, while supplies last.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve extended the line of Places Munzees! Along with the current Places, we’ve added:

Earth Day Fundraiser Update!

We want to take a moment to thank everyone for helping make our Earth Day fundraiser another great example of the good our players can do! Through the sales of Earth Day Evolution Munzees and Earth Day personal tags we’ve proudly helped plant 10,000 trees through the Earth Day Network‘s Canopy Project!

The Canopy Project focuses to strengthen communities through tree planting. Using agroforestry, sapling distribution and tree care training, Earth Day Network empowers organizations and citizens to conserve, repair, and restore tree cover to their lands. Freeze Tag’s donation is part of the Earth Day Network’s goal of planting 7.8 billion trees — one tree for every person on earth — in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in 2020. According to the Earth Day Network, trees reverse the impacts of land degradation and provide food, energy and income, helping communities achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability.

As a company focused on geolocation gaming, preserving the outdoors is extremely important to us. The work the Earth Day Network does to protect and preserve the environment is unmatched. We’re proud of the response of our players across the world who have once again shown their commitment to worthy causes.

Remember that if you deployed your Earth Day Evolution Seed Munzees when they first went on sale, those will have evolved to their final Tree forms by now so get out and cap others’ Tree Evos! Also keep in mind that this special will end at 23:59 MHQ time on May 13th, and all deploys will be archived regardless of the stage they have reached.

We hope you’ve enjoyed the Earth Day fundraiser specials and thank you once again! Go green and Munzee on!

Get All Mixed Up With The Chimera AlternaMyth

Lions, Dragons and Billy Goats oh my! The final Classical AlternaMyth has launched on to the map and this amalgamation of mythological beings is the leader of the pack! Bow down to the Chimera AlternaMyth Munzee!

As with the other AlternaMyths these Mythological Munzees are deployed on behalf of our HQ staff’s accounts, thus super rare. You’ll get 200 points for capping the Chimera. Owners of the host munzee will also earn double the points of the Chimera’s many-headed cousin, the Hydra.

This may be the AlternaMyth to the Hydra Mythological Munzee, but the Chimera is so much more! This creature is made up of a lion, a goat, a snake and a dragon, with the wing of a Pegasus and the tail of a scorpion for good measure. As such Chimeras are attracted to a wide variety of landing pads.

Chimeras bounce on greenies, MVMs, elementals, jewels and clan weapons:

  • Greenies
  • All Color MVMs
  • Shamrocks
  • Elementals
    • Fire
    • Ice
    • Earth
    • Air
    • Water
  • Jewels
    • Amethyst (V)
    • Sapphire (V)
    • Diamond
    • Ruby
    • Pink Diamond
    • Topaz
    • Aquamarine
  • Clan Weapons
    • Mace
    • Longsword
    • Battle Axe
    • The Hammer
    • Crossbow (V)

Chimeras may land on an assortment of munzees, but you can take your traps a bit further by using either a physical or virtual Munzee Magnet!– Chimeras are attracted to both! You can grab Magnets in the Freeze Tag Online Store along with a variety of different Chimera capturing codes. In celebration of the final Classical AlternaMyth we’ve also released a Chimera decal sticker and a new Chimera Elemental Pack featuring physical Elemental Munzees.

This pack includes:

  • 2 Fire Mystery Munzees
  • 2 Earth Mystery Munzees
  • 2 Water Mystery Munzees
  • 2 Ice Mystery Munzees

This package is available for $7.50.

Capturing a Chimera will also count towards the Myth Collector badges so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for those mixed up munzee maniacs.

Good luck on your journey and Munzee on!

Announcing Greenie Capture Badges!

We’re continuing this Spring’s theme of going green! We’re excited to announce new badges for capturing good ole’ greenies. Despite being the cornerstone of the game, this is actually the first line of badges we have released for strictly capturing Generic Munzees (AKA Greenies). How crazy is that? Better late than never right?

Green Gamer Lv 1- Capture 100 Generic Munzees AKA Greenies.

This new line of badges is retroactive, so those of you who have been capping these stickers for the better part of a decade can bask in the glory. You’ll only be able to see the requirements of one badge at a time until you earn it, but we think some of the more experienced players will be pleasantly surprised at the challenges this presents. The badges are now live and available to earn.

Please note that capturing Recycle Munzees will not count toward these badges, only active Greenies.

With these new Greenie capture badges, a new update, a new scanner and some (old) stickers on sale, help out your fellow players and deploy some Greenies too!

Good luck in your adventures and Munzee on!

Updated Scanner; Scratch and Dent Stickers

A long time ago in a place far, far away (or about 4 years ago about 3 miles from our current office), a grave mistake was made. In an effort to advance the game, generic munzee stickers were created using a new method. This method failed, however, leaving behind what became known as the Munzee Wallpaper. Thousands of stickers only to be used as decoration and as a reminder of a dark time. Or so we thought…

Ok. That may have been a bit dramatic. A few years ago, we created stickers that, due to technology at the time, were rendered unscannable. However, after a few updates to scanners and advancements in smartphone cameras, they can be used in the field.

This morning, we released an updated version of the app with a new scanner with improved recognition of damaged codes. This means that codes that may have previously been unscannable due to parts damaged or missing should be scannable now. (There are limits to how much reconstruction the scanner can do.) Because of this, we are releasing the “Munzee Wallpaper” stickers as “Scratch and Dent” stickers for purchase in the Freeze Tag Online Store.

These “Scratch and Dent” stickers are available now in packs of 20 stickers for $1.25. While we have thoroughly tested these stickers for scannability, you may have to be a bit more patient while capping and deploying in some cases.

Get these stickers while you can, and Munzee on!
