Holiday Card Collectors Club Tier 3 Day 31: Fireworks Show

Tier 3 Holiday Card Collectors Club members have one last surprise! Much like the Snowball Gathering and Christmas Pickle Hunt, upon capturing your Holiday Mailbox, a shower of Fireworks will scatter nearby! To reiterate, the mailbox must be capped on December 31st 00:01-23:59 MHQ time to deploy the Fireworks. They’ll stay on the map for 6 hours after scattering, so try to cap them all within that timeframe!

A total of 20 Fireworks specials will be unleashed! These will only be visible to the Holiday Mailbox owner and will scatter like Feathers. This means there are no CapOn points but they are worth 50 points for capture!

The icon for these specials is the same as the Fireworks Card that Tier 2 and 3 HCCC Members will receive to deploy. To access these specials, please turn on your “Greeting Cards” filter.

Badge

There will be 1 badge for capturing Fireworks. Since there’s only the 1 badge in this line, we want to keep it a secret for now. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too tough for you to get!

We hope you enjoy unwrapping the last day of the Holiday Card Collectors Club! Would you like to see something like this again next year?

Otherwise, if you still haven’t joined the club yet and would like to do so now, click HERE! If you purchase a Tier 3 membership TODAY you can still get Fireworks specials long as you deploy and cap your Holiday Mailbox before 23:59 MHQ time on December 31st.

Lastly, if you want to check out what today’s Greeting Card looks like, or review past day’s goodies, you can check out the blog post HERE. Please note that that blog post may not immediately have the latest info as we cannot pre-schedule updates, but we’ll do so as soon as we can!

Munzee on!

There’s Gnome Way You Wanna Miss out on This!

This year, we continued two traditions started in 2019: Monthly Streak Badges in the form of Exercise Resolutions, and a set of Monthly Rare Specials, in the form of 20/20 Vision Munzees. We also started a new tradition of Monthly POBs in the form of Funfinity Stones, which have become beloved characters in the game.

For 2021 we wanted to streamline things by linking all 3 together with a common theme!

Keeping this change in mind, we wanted to make sure we still incorporated the things that made each of them special.

  • For Monthly Streak Badges, it was all about staying healthy by maintaining good habits, just like maintaining your streak.
  • For Monthly Rare Specials, we wanted an ongoing collection that built up throughout the year centered around a central theme.
  • For Monthly POBs, we wanted a unified set of characters that felt like a family.

So what’s health-focused, fits within a central theme, and comes in a lot of varieties? Well garden gnomes playing sports obviously! 2020 was a slow year for sports and traveling (even the Olympic Games got pushed back!) so we’re sending garden gnomes on the road to compete for gold! We’re excited to announce Sporty Garden Gnomes are coming in 2021!

We’re not releasing all of the details just yet, but we did want to give everyone a heads up to start your capture streaks on January 1st!

Garden Gnomes

As usual you’ll want to capture at least one munzee* each day for the entire month to earn the reward. If you can make it through the whole month you’ll be awarded a badge and special item themed to that month’s activity! We’ll release more information on this special item and on how Monthly Rare Specials and Monthly POBs will be incorporated once we’re back in the office, but for now, here’s a sneak peek into what we have planned!

Please give a warm welcome to January’s Ice Hockey Gnome!

We know travel and sports are heavily limited right now, but we hope as you work towards this capture streak you can live vicariously through these charming gnomes! Perhaps you can find a way to watch or play your favorite sport** at home! We’re all in this together and if nothing else it will help you get one step closer to the yearlong capture and deploy streak badges. We’ll have a different gnome badge design each month, but try and keep up with your streak throughout the year! We believe in you!

We hope you’re excited to meet each month’s gnome and perhaps take home one of your own! Munzee on!

* In order to encourage active gameplay we will not count Social Munzees for these capture streaks. If you know you’ll be in an area without munzees plan ahead! 

** MUNZEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SPORTS-RELATED INJURIES

December 2020 GOTM Winners + The Future of POTM

This month was all about creating some Munzee Magic in the form of the Holiday Card Collectors Club and all the various Christmas Combat Specials!

We are now happy to announce the winners of the December Garden of the Month (GOTM), give a reminder for December Player of the Month (POTM), and let you know about our plans for the POTM program in the coming year! The badges for December GOTM and POTM will be awarded in early January, but we couldn’t wait to share the winners we’ve chosen!

December GOTM

As we’re now fully into Christmas/Holiday mode, the gardens we’ve chosen certainly make the map feel a little bit merrier! Remember that all winning GOTM organizers and all players who deployed in the winning gardens will be awarded special badges for their contribution to growing the map. This month we’re happy to award the Xmas Knole Deer Garden, designed by Maattmoo, and the Queensland Koala Garden, designed by BonnieB1, as our winning December GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Xmas Knole Deer by Maattmoo in Sevenoaks, United Kingdom

This garden looks like a slightly more grown-up version of our Baby Reindeer Christmas Critter!

Maattmoo shared his thoughts behind the design:

It started over a month ago when I found out about an event being held in the grounds of Knole Deer Park for Xmas and the event organiser was trying to build up the area a bit for the event.

I thought, wow what a great space for a new garden, so checked if they wanted to do a garden or if I would be able to do.
They agreed that I was free to do and it would be a great addition to the area and event.

So what design, well Knole Park is famous for its free roaming deer herds and being a Christmas event, a red nose deer felt like a perfect fit. Now over the last month with some social media persuasion and gentle coercion we have filled the garden complete and with a week to go to the event too.

The event Maattmoo wrote about was on the calendar HERE!

Queensland Koala by BonnieB1 in Queensland, Australia

We started the year with Aussie Animals, so we thought it would be a nice way to end the year too!

This garden was created for another event that took place on the same day as Maattmoo’s, but across the globe! You can find the A Queensland Christmas event on the calendar HERE!

All players who deployed in the respective winning gardens will receive the following special badges:

Rules for GOTM nominations:

  1. Garden must feature non-licensed character designs.
  2. The garden must feature a Garden Places Pin.
  3. The garden must be built using a publicly available spreadsheet which we will ask to be locked after being 100% deployed.
  4. We’re asking for ongoing nominations and we will release the winners throughout the year.

Send your nomination for GOTM to iloveyou@munzee.com! Keep in mind that we take all former nominations into consideration for upcoming months. Just be sure your garden follows the nomination rules in order to be considered eligible!

If you need help deploying in a Virtual Garden, you can check out this step-by-step tutorial that will making deploying in a garden easy no matter how long you’ve been playing. To fill in the gardens, make sure to stock up on Virtuals and Color Credits from the Freeze Tag Online Store.

December POTM

December’s POTM called for stories of Munzee acts of kindness. There’s still a bit of time left to earn this badge, so please send your stories to the Google Form at this link: https://forms.gle/JqF1LPaft6G6yeBAA

Thank you for sending in your stories! You can expect to see the badge in early January.

The Future of POTM

As the app has grown and changed we decided to re-evaluate the POTM program so it wouldn’t feel stale. So far, we’ve been alternating nomination-based months with requirement-based months. This was so that players could have fair and varied opportunities to earn the badges.

Our goal moving forward is still to feature and celebrate our players, but in a way that feels more organic and special. So although we will not be moving forward with the POTM program for the foreseeable future, we are still working out what new ways we can highlight our awesome players. Please look forward to more information in the coming months!

Munzee on!

This Snowman is NOT a Jolly Happy Soul!

The final Christmas Combat character has been unlocked! We bet you’re curious to find out all his features and functions, so without further ado…

Fr057y Details

Fr057y is a temporary POB available from our Official Resellers for $5 through the end of the year. It will stay on the map until winter is over as determined by the Pennyslvania soothsayer on Feb 2. If the groundhog sees his shadow Fr057y will remain for 6 more weeks, if no shadow Fr057y will melt (archive) in 6 days.

Each player may purchase 1 Fr057y per player account, per reseller if you choose to support them all. Here is a direct link to the product from each reseller.

Gold’n Coins
Geologgers
NE Geocaching Supplies
Space Coast Geo Store

Points

  • Deploy: 300
  • Capture: 200
  • CapOn: 100

You can find these rolling ruffians bouncing to the following landing pads every 5 hours or when captured:

Similar to the Cyborg Santa, when Fr057y is captured 1-3 NEW Snowball munzees will be scattered nearby!

These are the same Snowballs featured in Day 5 of the HCCC! This means that capping them will contribute progress towards the corresponding badge line. Please note that there will be NO Rainbow Snow Cone. The Snowballs will only be visible to the player who capped Fr057y.

The rewards for Snowballs are as follows:

  • Capture: 100 points and 10 seconds of Frozen status, like when capping the Ice Mystery’s Frozen Greenie scatter

Like the other Christmas Combat bouncers, Fr057y will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Fr057y on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Fr057y visits you. However, Fr057y is non-blastable. They will be attracted to Munzee Magnets and Virtual Munzee Magnets. You can access Fr057y by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

Deploying Fr057y will earn you the following badge:

There is also a line of Christmas Combat Capture badges that you can earn for Fr057y, KrampBot, ReinDroid, RUD01PH, 31F, GingerMech Man, Cyborg Santa, and Cybersaurus Rex captures! The first in this line will appear as follows:

 

Personal Tags

With the addition of Fr057y, the Christmas Combat tag collection is complete! You can shop them in the Freeze Tag Store HERE!

We hope these Christmas Combat specials add a dash of holiday cheer to your map!

Munzee on!

Limited Release 2020 Personals

Sometimes life events happen that must be marked with a special item. We think it’s safe to say 2020 has certainly been “unique”, even “complicated”. Some might even say it’s been a terrible year.

We’ve had a few creative hosts that had art created for badges that caught our eye. Trish created these and they are so special we made a variation available in personal form worldwide via our store. These personals will leave the store January 1st.

Presenting:
Dumpster Fire 2020 personal


The Struggle Was Real 2020 personal

Thank you to our hosts for allowing us to share their ideas with the world. We hope everyone stays safe, alert, and healthy. Let’s look forward to 2021!

December 16, 2020

It’s Official — The Machines are Taking Over with this NEW MOB!

Perhaps our need for our own Christmas Combatant has infected the app — as of 12:00 MHQ today, a new temporary Bouncer has materialized without any work on our part, and is rendering players helpless with its freezing capabilities!

KrampBot Details

KrampBot is officially a tPOB, but solely owned by KrampBot himself and should be temporary (we hope!). No players are able to purchase/own/deploy a KrampBot. Based on its current growth pattern we project that 333 KrampBots will be bouncing around on the map that MUST be captured!

Like the Spyderbot, it will stay on the map until it has been captured 5 times, when it will be archived. After the fifth capture a KrampBot will be “krushed” which results in more points for the capper. KrampBot will bounce to certain virtual munzees (listed below) for the first 4 captures, but after being capped 4 times it will land on a physical munzee where it can now be krushed. If you’ve ever deployed a Butterfly or Frog Evolution munzee, these will behave similarly with a few exceptions.

Points

  • Capture: 350
  • CapOn: 75
  • Krush (5th Cap): 425

You can find these prickly predators bouncing to the following landing pads every 4 hours or when captured:

Similar to the Cyborg Santa, when the KrampBot is captured 1 NEW Putrid Present will be scattered nearby!

The Putrid Present will only be visible to the player who capped the KrampBot.

The “rewards” for Putrid Presents are as follows:

  • Capture: 150 points and 30 seconds of Frozen status, like when capping the Ice Mystery’s Frozen Greenie scatter. These will not add to the frozen badge line.

Like the Cyborg Santa, the KrampBot will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a KrampBot on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same KrampBot visits you. However, KrampBots are non-blastable. They will be attracted to Munzee Magnets and Virtual Munzee Magnets. You can access KrampBot by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

There will be 1 badge for capturing the KrampBot. Since there’s only the 1 badge in this line, we want to keep it a secret for now. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too tough for you to get!

There is also a line of Christmas Combat Capture badges that you can earn for KrampBot, ReinDroid, RUD01PH, 31F, GingerMech Man, Cyborg Santa, Cybersaurus Rex, and any other future Christmas Combat captures! As a refresher, the first in this line will appear as follows:

Personal Tags

We’ve also added the KrampBot tag to the store — you can shop all Personal Tags HERE!

We hope these Christmas Combat specials add a dash of holiday cheer to your map!

Munzee on!

Holiday Card Collectors Club ALL Tiers Day 16: Dodgy Jumper Photo Contest

If you’re a long-time Munzee player, you may have been wondering — where’s the Dodgy Jumper contest? Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten this time-honored tradition! While in past years (2019, 2018, 2017, etc.) we made this a contest for event attendees, we know this year has made it tougher for most players to host and attend. So this year we’re streamlining the entry process: simply add a photo of yourself in a Dodgy Jumper to your Holiday Mailbox within the time period of 00:01 MHQ on December 16 to 23:59 MHQ on December 20.

As long as you follow the rules and put forth some effort, you’ll be awarded the Dodgy Jumpers badge. This year we’ve taken a punny approach to the badge design, as you can see below:

We’ll share some of our favorite player outfits to the official Munzee social media pages as we discover them, but the badge will not be awarded until some time after the 20th. Then we’ll add all of the winners to a gallery here on the Munzee Blog to announce when the badge has been awarded! 

We hope you enjoy unwrapping Day 16 of the Holiday Card Collectors Club! Make sure to cap your Holiday Mailbox each day so you don’t miss out!

Otherwise, if you still haven’t joined the club yet and would like to do so now, click HERE! If you purchase any membership TODAY you can still participate in the Dodgy Jumper Photo Contest as long as you deploy and cap your Holiday Mailbox before 23:59 MHQ time on December 16th.

Lastly, if you want to check out what today’s Greeting Card looks like, or review past day’s goodies, you can check out the blog post HERE. Please note that that blog post may not immediately have the latest info as we cannot pre-schedule updates, but we’ll do so as soon as we can!

ReinDroids — Rover, The Other Reindeer’s Bigger Brothers

While the Holiday Card Collectors Club has been a great success, we still like to give options for players who aren’t ready for such commitments. Please welcome the newest challenger in our Christmas Combat story, the ReinDroids and RUD01PH!

ReinDroid and RUD01PH Details

Like the GingerMech Man, the ReinDroid is a temporary POB. It is available in the Freeze Tag Store for the low, low price of $2.50! If you buy a full set* of 8 ReinDroids, you’ll receive a RUD01PH tPOB (shown above) for free! This is the only way to get one of these red-nosed variants so shop now before the all flee the store at 12pm tomorrow (Dec 16th). You can purchase ReinDroids HERE.

Similar to the Spyderbot, both ReinDroids and RUD01PH will stay on the map until they have been captured 10 times, when they will be archived on your account. After the tenth capture a ReinDroid or RUD01PH will “flee” which results in more points for the capper.

Points

  • ReinDroid
    • Deploy: 500
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 250
    • Flee (10th Cap): 500
  • RUD01PH
    • Deploy: 777
    • Capture: 200
    • CapOn: 500
    • Flee (10th Cap): 500

You can find these sleek steeds bouncing to the following landing pads every 4 hours or when captured:

The ReinDroid and RUD01PH will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a ReinDroid or RUD01PH on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same ReinDroid or RUD01PH visits you. However, ReinDroids and RUD01PH are non-blastable and will not be attracted to magnets. You can access ReinDroid and RUD01PH by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

Deploying ReinDroid and RUD01PH will earn you the following badges, respectively:

There is also a line of Christmas Combat Capture badges that you can earn for ReinDroid, RUD01PH, 31F, GingerMech Man, Cyborg Santa, Cybersaurus Rex, and any other future Christmas Combat captures! As a refresher, the first in this line will appear as follows:

Personal Tags

We’ve also added the ReinDroid and RUD01PH tags to the store — you can shop all the tags HERE!

We hope these Christmas Combat specials add a dash of holiday cheer to your map!

Munzee on!
