New Open Edition Greeting Cards for 2021!

Can you believe it’s been almost a year since we first released Greeting Cards? While we’ve been releasing Limited Edition cards fairly regularly around the holidays, it’s been a while since we’ve added some new Open Edition cards. We’ve come up with some colorful new options that will help make the ordinary days special!

We are happy to announce 3 NEW Greeting Cards are available for purchase! You can pick up Greeting Cards from the Freeze Tag Online Store HERE. You receive multiple munzees from your single purchase. Read the details in the store, or see below.

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have 3 new Open Edition cards for your deploying pleasure!

If you’re apart from someone and don’t have the opportunity to chat often, let them know they’re on your mind with a Thinking Of You Card!

Perhaps you’re lucky to have someone in your life who you can test out new jokes on — why not change things up a bit and send jokes to them via a Knock Knock Joke Card?

Miss going out with your drinking buddy? Send them an It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere Card!

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes to add a personal touch! While the capture message will contain your Munzee username as all Greeting Card capture messages do, we think typing in a more specific note will go a long way to creating a more unique and special experience!

This brings the current lineup of Greeting Cards available for purchase to the following:

  • Open Edition (will always be available; ONE Purchase yields FOUR munzees)
    • Birthday
    • Get Well
    • Thank You
    • Congrats
    • Sorry
    • Sorry 1
    • Sorry 2
    • Sorry 3
    • Spring
    • Fall
    • Thinking of You
    • Knock Knock Joke
    • It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere
  • Limited Edition (will rotate depending on occasion; ONE Purchase yields THREE munzees)
    • Stay Home
    • Tech Issues (not available for sale)
    • March Into May Event (only available to March into May event hosts for their events)

As a refresher, the point structure for Greeting Cards is as follows:

  • Open Edition
    • Deploy: 50
    • Capture: 40
    • CapOn: 25
  • Limited Edition
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30

Remember that these munzees will be archived 7 days after they are deployed, so make sure your intended recipient captures it before then!

For more information on the Greeting Cards, you can check out our Help Guide article.

New Greeting Card Personals

We’re also excited to announce a handful of circular personal tags with the new Greeting Card designs! You can shop the whole collection HERE!

We hope 2021 continues to be a year of well wishes among all of our players!

Munzee on!

Save The Cubimals From Their Physical Prisons!

Players, we need your help! Earlier in the month, when the Baby Animals traveled by ferry from WallaBee to Munzee, they brought some stowaways. Unbeknownst to staff, the stowaways crawled into some prototype storage containers before they were sealed. And while we were planning on bringing those stowaways into the game to celebrate the upcoming National Pet Day, we never intended for them to be trapped inside QRates, which are tough to open from the inside. Are you up to the task of freeing them?

QRates and QRowbars

If so, first, you’ll need to find a QRate. At this time, there is a chance they’ll be found while capturing Greenies. However, this is certainly subject to change in the future!

Once you’ve got a QRate, you can find it in the Inventory section of your Profile, as shown below:

So that this new task isn’t overwhelming, you’ll only be able to work on 1 QRate at a time, unless you are a Premium member — then you’ll get 1 extra slot! This limit may change in the future.

Premium members also have the option of trashing a QRate once a day. This should be helpful if you are trying to find a rarer QRate (more info on that below!) or if you want to quickly free up a slot should we have special limited-time QRates in the future.

To unlock the QRate, you’ll either need to capture or deploy more physical munzees. Updated info post launch: Capturing bouncers/scatters on some physical munzees including greenies will also fulfill requirements. You can speed up the process by applying a QRowbar to the QRate, which will reduce the requirements by 25%. You can apply up to 3 QRowbars to each QRate, bringing the total reduction to 75%!

Premium members will find that we’ve added 6 QRowbars to their accounts, and they’ll get 1 every month afterwards as long as their Premium membership is active! Non-premium players will find 3 QRowbars added to their accounts. If you need more QRowbars, they cost 50 Zeds each. You can buy them by tapping on the [Use QRowbar] button at the bottom if you don’t have any, or by heading to the In-App Store!

Once you’ve fulfilled the QRate’s requirements, you will receive the prize inside! You can expect to receive either a Cubimal (more info on that below!), Booster, or other Credits. There are currently 3 different types of QRates, with different prize pools for each. The standard QRate was shown earlier, so you can see what the other two look like below:

Like the standard QRate, the Gold and Diamond QRates can only potentially be found when capturing greenies for now.

Cubimals

These are the aforementioned stowaways! If you’re a WallaBee player, you may recognize these distinctly-shaped characters from the The Cubimal Racing League and Cubimals 2: Trophy Hunt sets.

Currently there are 9 different Cubimals trapped inside QRates for you to collect. Unfortunately, we’ve only confirmed the identities of 3 of them so far:

We suspect that the remaining 6 share the characteristic of being similar to real-life pets. Keep an eye out for future announcements — we’re sure that the other Cubimals will follow their lead and turn up in QRates later on!

You’ll find a record of the Cubimals you’ve saved in the Achievements area of the app! We thought this area made sense as they are a collection of sorts, much like their WallaBee counterparts.

It is possible to receive duplicates of Cubimals. You can see how many of each Cubimal you’ve rescued by tapping on it and scrolling to the bottom of the popup, as shown above.

If you’re into the physical game, we hope this new mechanic adds just the right amount of spice to what you already enjoy! Otherwise, if you are more of a virtual player, we hope you give QRate cracking a try and rescue some Cubimals in the process!

Munzee on!

Continuing last year’s Baby Animals line, these cuties are temporary POBs. They bounce to either physical or virtual munzees, depending on the MunzPak you purchased. They will stay on the map until 23:59 MHQ on May 31, when they will be automatically archived on your account.

  • Deploy: 500 points
  • Capture: 200 points
  • CapOn: 100 points

Doge Pup Munzee
Physical MunzPak

Ever curious about the world, this furry friend loves to accompany you on all your outings and inspect anything unfamiliar with his high-functioning schnozz. This purehearted Baby Animal races to the following:

  • Treehouse
  • Greenie
  • Earth Mystery
  • Water Mystery
  • Dog Chinese Zodiac

Itty Bitty Kitty Munzee
Virtual MunzPak

This little soot sprite of a cat has become famous on the internet for her cute looks and soft meow, but she hasn’t let it get to her head! This adorable Baby Animal slinks to the following:

  • Skyland
  • All Virtual Colors
  • Air Mystery
  • Wildlife Places

Baby Monkey Munzee
Hybrid MunzPak

He may be a baby, but his opposable thumbs and well-formed arm muscles allow him to climb up and down trees with ease — meaning he can reach more landing pads than the other two! This acrobatic Baby Animal swings to the following:

  • Treehouse
  • Greenie
  • Earth Mystery
  • Water Mystery
  • Monkey Chinese Zodiac
  • Skyland
  • All Virtual Colors
  • Air Mystery
  • Wildlife Places

Baby Animals will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Baby Animal on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Baby Animal visits you. In virtual form, Baby Animals will be non-blastable. They will be attracted to Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access Baby Animals under the “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Badges

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

Lastly, captures of these Baby Animals will contribute to progress towards badges in the Baby Animals Overall Capture line. So if you missed out on some of the badges from the Baby Animal MOBs, you have another 2 months to earn them by capping these tPOBs! We have added 2 new badges to that line, meaning that there are now a total of 10 badges to work towards! As a reminder, you can see the first of this badge line below:

Sweet Stickers- Capture 1 Baby Animal Special of any type.

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

Munzee on!

Jack In Zee Box Wasn’t the Only Trick Up Our Sleeves!

There are two types of people in this world: the pranksters and the pranked. Which will you be? If it’s the former, you’ll need some supplies, which we are happy to provide! Starting at 10:00 MHQ on April 1st, April Fools specials will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on April 30th.

April Fools Specials

We’ll be passing out the goods in waves, but will end at a total of 700 Bags of Tricks and 700 Sacks of Surprises. They will bounce around on the map every 4 hours or when captured. You can find these curveball carriers bouncing to the following:

Both will be worth 150 points for the Capture and 50 points for the CapOn, so you don’t want to miss out! Bags of Tricks will be attracted to Physical Magnets, while Sacks of Surprises will be attracted to Virtual Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

When you capture a Bag of Tricks or a Sack of Surprises, up to three different Prank Munzees will scatter to nearby Greenies or Virtual Colors, depending on their type. These munzees will stay on the map for 2 hours or when captured, and are worth 50 points for the Capture.

Additionally, when you capture a Prank Munzee up to 3 Elemental Scatters will be triggered! They behave the same way as they would when scattered from Elemental Mysteries.

Badges

There will be six badges to earn for these specials. Four are based on the total number of April Fools specials you capture, but just how many captures it takes to earn all 4 badges will be kept a secret! Of the remaining two badges, the first is based on capturing each of the different Prank Munzees you see here. The second is based on the total number of Prank Munzees captured. You can see the first badge below:

Wet Blanket- Capture one April Fools special of either type.

We hope your heart can handle these startling specials!

Munzee on!

NEW Filters Allow You To Explore Like Never Before!

With the myriad munzee types out there, using Filters is a must to make the most of your time. After all, one of our mottos is “Play your way”, and you may not be interested in ALL munzee types.

We also know that many of our players have multiple hobbies related to being outdoors. So, to make things even more convenient for you, we’ve started a NEW line of filters that should make it easier to engage in some of those hobbies at the same time as Munzee! There are only 2 to start, but keep an eye out for more filter announcements in the future!

The Metal Detector Mode filter will show the location of buried metal artifacts up to 8 ft deep. Please note that this filter’s accuracy is dependent on the size of the artifact and your distance from it. A wrench buried at a depth of 2 ft will have a much more accurate location than a paper clip that is at a depth of 6 ft.

The Paranormal Mode filter will show the location of ghosts as they take on a corporeal form. Please note that this filter’s accuracy is dependent on the strength of the ghost’s spirit. Older ghosts tend to be weaker as they begin to forget their purpose for haunting the Earth.

You’ll find the Metal Detector Mode filter in the Physical tab, the Paranormal Mode filter in the Virtual tab, and both in the Premium tab, as you can see in the screenshots below:

We hope these colorful new filters enhance your app experience!

Munzee on!
