Have a Gem of a Weekend with Double Points and More!

As March 13 is National Jewel Day, we thought it was the perfect excuse to put Jewels and Funfinity Stones in the spotlight! This year, on top of double points, we’ve got some special badges for you to earn and more! Read on to get the deets!

Double Points Details

From the period of Thursday, March 11th at 12:00 MHQ through Monday, March 15th at 12:00 MHQ, enjoy double points on ALL Jewel and Funfinity Stone activity!

This includes deploys of new Funfinity Stones, which leads us into the next topic…

Store Sale!

For the same period as double points, Funfinity Stones will be available in the Freeze Tag Store!

This is the perfect opportunity to pick up any that you missed last year, especially if you are looking to earn the Funfinity Bootlet badge!

Limited-Time Badges

For the same period as double points, you can earn a special badge for capturing a certain amount of Jewels, and another for deploying a certain amount of Jewels. If you need any jewels to deploy you can find them in the store or redeem your jewel shards!
You can see what these badges look like below!

We’ll keep the requirements a secret, but they shouldn’t be too hard to get! Please note that these badges will only require Jewel activity, NOT Funfinity Stone activity.

Rover Learned a New Trick!

Perhaps you’ve guessed what it is from the badge image above? Now, when you capture a Jewel while a Rover is with you, you have a small chance of receiving Jewel Shards! This includes Jewels captured using Blasts!

The popup that appears after you’ve captured a Jewel will let you know if Rover has dug up any, so make sure to keep an eye out! You will also find them on your credits list.

If you don’t have a Rover with you and there aren’t any nearby for you to pick up, you can purchase one from the store HERE! To learn more about how Rover works visit our Help Guide article HERE!

We hope you enjoy going on a treasure hunt with an old pal! We’re considering this the first step in our long-awaited Roverhaul.

Munzee on!

#ChooseToChallenge with Fancy Flat Lou!

We couldn’t let this month pass by without showing some love to Munzee’s leading lady, Flat Lou! Real-life Lou and the other Internationelles have some exciting news coming up, so make sure to read all the way to the end of the blog!

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Monday, March 8th at 12:00 MHQ through Wednesday, March 31st at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture a Fancy Flat Lou, up to 3 Water Bottles may be scattered nearby!

The Water Bottles will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Fancy Flat Lou owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These bottle scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Water Bottles are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points

For more information about Fancy Flat Lou, check out our Help Guide article!

Badges

There are 2 badges available for this special period. As long as you capture a Fancy Flat Lou and a Water Bottle scatter, you’ll receive both badges!

Store Sale!

We’ve added Fancy Flat Lou back to the online store!

The only store limit will be up to one per variant per player account, meaning you can buy all three, but not more than one of each.

In other words, each player is allowed to purchase one of each Fancy Flat Lou variant per account. The sale will remain through the entire month of March!

Lou News!

Check out the Union Cycliste Internationale’s social media — you will see Lou featured in an International Women’s Day campaign!

The theme for International Women’s Day for 2021 is Choose to Challenge. The InternationElles (which Lou is the leader of) are sharing the challenges they’ve chosen. If you’re curious to find out more about these amazing ladies, keep an eye on their social media!

Munzee on!

March Into May Events Bring a NEW Greeting Card and Garden Option

It’s just about that time — the busyness of the new year has mostly settled down, and we’re back to our routines. But don’t forget to plan things to look forward to! If you’re missing your local Munzee QRew, maybe a small, safe event is just the thing to add some cheer to your days.

We’re excited to announce March Into May event options are now available for events held throughout March, April, and May! Read on below to learn more about how we’re marching to a new tune this season!

March Into May Attendee Badge!

All events that take place from now until 31st May will receive a special March Into May badge for attendees.There will be no special event packages during this time however you are still able to add a custom icon and badge to your event. Louise is ready to work with hosts to customize their events so please get your events on the calendar and set up your basic event package!

Exclusive Greeting Card!

Any event that purchases a badge and icon that is being held during the months of March, April, and May will receive 50 free EXCLUSIVE March Into May Event Greeting Cards for the event account to deploy.

These Limited Edition cards are only available for events, so make sure you get your event on the calendar. For more information reach out to Munzee Event Manager Louise!

Tulip Virtual Gardens!

Event hosts will also have the option of adding a lovely Tulip Garden to their event location! The floral virtual garden is made up of  3 Air Mysteries, 3 Chicks, 23 Yellow Virtuals, 3 Electric Mysteries, 2 Peas, 14 Green Virtuals, and 1 NVG, deployed by our event account and on the map until 1st June for everyone to capture. This add-on will be $25 and available after you submit an event and begin communicating with Louise. These gardens are only available for events from now until 31st May.

We know the world is in a different state than the past and want to be sensitive to this. That is the reason we’re making these gardens available for the entire 3-month period. Socially-distanced and responsible events are taking place within local guidelines worldwide and we want to celebrate with you. Stay safe and stay aware!

Munzee on!

Reseller Garden Gnomes AND More Badges!

Our Authorized Resellers have let us know that they’ve gotten such amazing support from you, the players, with Fr057y and Virtual RUMs! With this year’s theme of Monthly Garden Gnomes, we thought it would be nice to include them in that as well! Please welcome these very special Garden Gnomes themed around each Reseller’s shop!

Reseller Garden Gnome Details

Like the other gnomes, Reseller Garden Gnomes are temporary POBs that will remain on the map until 23:59 MHQ on December 31. They will be available at our Authorized Resellers’ shops some time today. When you purchase a Garden Gnome from a Reseller, you will receive the base Garden Gnome with their respective gnome skin already equipped. However, you can still swap out the skins just like the other Garden Gnomes — refer to our original blog post if you need a refresher! Interested? You can get links to shop all of our resellers HERE!

Points

  • Deploy: 500
  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300

You can find these international ambassadors traveling to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Gold Miner Garden Gnome will land on all stages of the Treasure Chest Evolution.

Also like the other gnomes, up to 3 NEW Gnome Hats may be scattered nearby when they are captured!

The Gnome Hats will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Gnome owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These hat scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Gnome Hats are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Reseller Garden Gnomes of ANY type will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture Reseller Garden Gnomes on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Reseller Garden Gnome visits you. Reseller Garden Gnomes are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Reseller Garden Gnomes by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

As a reminder, Garden Gnomes have 4 associated badge lines:

  • Unique type deploy badges — you’ll need to earn each month’s skin by keeping your streak up! You’ll also receive these upon purchasing a Reseller gnome!
  • Overall deploy badges — the more gnomes you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned gnome!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many gnomes as you can find!

First, here are the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with the Aussie Explorer Garden Gnome:

The badges for the other Reseller Garden Gnomes follow the same pattern.

We’ve also extended the “Overall deploy” and “Overall capture” badge line — you can peek at the first of these new badges below:

We hope these Reseller gnomes are as beloved as their sports star brethren!

Munzee on!

March MunzPak Includes NEW Bee Evolution!

We think this month’s MunzPak is the bee’s knees! There are exclusive goodies in all the MunzPaks this month: Physical and Hybrid MunzPaks contain the new Bee Evolutions, and Virtual and Hybrid MunzPaks contain The next Egyptian Zodiac, Osiris! You can find a breakdown of each Pak below!

MunzPak is a monthly subscription service that delivers munzees directly to your door! Each of our three MunzPak options contain a variety of munzees, including some new items that you won’t be able to find anywhere else! The three different types of MunzPaks that you can subscribe to each month are as follows:

  • Physical MunzPak features blocks of generic stickers and pre-coded stickers including brand new munzees which can only be purchased through the subscription service. $~25 value for $15 each month.
  • Virtual MunzPak features a variety of virtual munzees that are automatically added to your account each month such as Destination Munzees, Jewels, and more. $~40 value for $25 each month.
  • Hybrid MunzPak is the best of both worlds! Get both physical and virtual munzees such as Places Munzees, Magnets, and more. $~30 value for $20.01 each month.

Never subscribed to MunzPak before? If this is your first month subscribing, you’ll have the chance to earn one-time badges for each type of Pak! All you have to do is stop by the Freeze Tag Online Store and subscribe today!

The March MunzPaks will contain the items listed below, effective as of 00:01 MHQ time on March 1. Please note that any purchases made before then will be for the February MunzPak, which contains different items.

Bee Evolution Munzees

Stages 1-4 of the Bee Evos are Physical Munzees, which are as follows:

Once these Evolutions reach Stage 4, a temporary POB will be launched, which is Stage 5. For example, if you’ve deployed a Bee Evolution, the Empty Honeycomb will remain in place, while the adult Bee variant will be launched at the same time for the duration of its “lifespan.”

Stage 5 Bees will bounce to both physical and virtual landing pads every 8 hours. They have the option of emerging as one of the three different species shown below, with the WallaBee being the rarest of the 3.

Like the Flower Evolutions, the chance of the Bee Evolution evolving to one of the 3 types changes every time it is reset with the Evolution Reset Credit. Although you cannot capture a reset evolution if you have already captured the original from stages 1-4, you CAN capture the final level of a reset when it evolves and releases a new tPOB. An easy way to know is, if you see it on the map you can capture it!

The stage timeline of the Bee Evolutions will match that of a real Worker Bee. The stages will be as follows:

  • Stage 1 to Stage 2: after 3 days (3 days total)
  • Stage 2 to Stage 3: after 6 days (9 days total)
  • Stage 3 to Stage 4: after 12 days (21 days total)
  • Stage 4 to Stage 5: permanent until reset to stage one
  • Stage 5: will exist for 36 days or 7 captures, whichever happens first, at which time the temporary Bee POB will be archived.

Please note that although the first four stages for each are the same, they will count as different special capture icons. Like all Player Owned Bouncers (POBs), the Bee Evolutions will be available for multi-capture only at Level 5.

The points for the Bee Evolutions will be as same as the Butterfly Evolution, with 100 points awarded per Stage 1 deploy.

  • Stage 1: Cap: 50, CapOn: 30
  • Stage 2: Cap: 40, CapOn: 20
  • Stage 3: Cap: 45, CapOn: 25
  • Stage 4: Cap: 40, CapOn: 30
  • Stage 5: Cap: 150, CapOn: 50, Host CapOn: 50

Just like real life bees, the Bee Evolution Munzees will be attracted to the following landing pads:

The Bee Evolutions will adhere to normal proximity rules. Stage 1 deploys must be at least 50 feet from any other physical type and 150 feet from your own physical munzees.

Stage 5 of the Bee Evos will NOT be attracted to magnets and are NOT blastable. To access the Bee Evolution Munzees, turn on your “Evolution” and “All Expiring Specials” filters. The Bee Evolutions will count toward Evolution Capture and Deploy badges.

Munzee on!
