Secret ZeeOps- Operation: Lady Luck (May 2021)

UPDATE: Information on Operation: Green Thumb was corrected below.

Agents, we were lucky to have an uneventful April — perhaps all the crooks were on Spring Break? With the extra time, we made some much-needed updates to our system! Unfortunately, trouble is brewing once again. If you’re game, a new Secret ZeeOp is available in the ZeeOps Hub. Operation: Green Thumb was removed from the ZeeOps Hub at the end of April. However, if you’ve already purchased Operation: Green Thumb, you will be able to complete it and collect rewards even after it is no longer available for purchase.

Can you smoke out some unsavory characters that have made the new hot spot their home base? If you complete ALL the missions in Operation: Lady Luck, you’ll receive the snazzy badge below, along with the Arctic L.A.S.E.R. Shark Munzee (more info below!) and various other rewards listed in the app!

There are 3 levels. Level 1 has 3 missions, Level 2 has 5 missions, and Level 3 has 5 missions. Each level ends with more prizes.

We may share this information moving forward with other Operations but possibly not.

Arctic L.A.S.E.R. Shark Details

The Arctic L.A.S.E.R. Shark functions the same way as the regular L.A.S.E.R. Shark. You can refer to our Help Guide article about it HERE!

The only difference, other than its color, is that it also lands on Joystick munzees (both physical and virtual).

With the release of this L.A.S.E.R. Shark variant, we’ve created a new deploy badge, and also have featured it in the line of capture badges released in March. While we’ll keep the capture badge a secret, you can sneak a peek at the deploy badge below:

On behalf of MHQ, we thank you for your continued service.

You Are Cordially Invited to the 10th Annual Award ZEEson!

This year is our 10th birthday, and while we would have liked to pull out all the stops to celebrate, we still aren’t quite ready to host an in-person celebration. However, that doesn’t mean y’all can’t host your own safe, socially-distanced events! As this year is still an extra-special one for us, the theme we’ve decided on this year is Award ZEEson!

Event Package Overview

Get your events on the calendar (https://calendar.munzee.com/submit) and then choose from one of the following packages available in the Freeze Tag Online Store! Each has a unique host badge!

  • Gilded Guest – Basic event and no proximity restrictions – $30
  • Prized Presenter – The Gilded Guest plus 20 virtuals – $50
  • Notable Nominee – The Prized Presenter plus badge and icon (fully custom while time permits) – $150
  • Wonderful Winner – The Notable Nominee plus Eventzee (more info on that below!) and 50 EXCLUSIVE PaparaZEE Greeting Cards (similar to the March into May Event Greeting Cards) – $200

Birthday Box Garden Add-on – If you would like our themed Birthday Box Garden (similar to the March into May Events Tulip Gardens) to be deployed at your event location, this can be added onto any Birthday package. – $25

Emerald Prizes Add-on – If you would like your guests to receive a free Emerald garden pin, this can be added onto any Birthday package. – $25

This year’s 10-week birthday event period should hopefully align with an event you were already planning, or allow you the flexibility to schedule one if the idea just came to you! Birthday events can begin starting July 1st and run all the way to September 8th!

As always, there will be an Attendee Badge and plenty of extras! Get your events on the calendar, package requests in, and artwork suggestions in ASAP, especially if you’re hoping for merchandise, too. As our artists’ schedule starts to fill up, we will move to generic art options to avoid missing out on special event badges.

Return of Eventzee

As stated above, if you choose the Wonderful Winner Event Package, it will include an Eventzee Scavenger Hunt Party Pack! These new packs have all of the challenges created for you, so all you have to do is approve player submissions. Preserve your event for a lifetime with pictures and videos using the ALL NEW* Eventzee app!

Your Eventzee Add-On will include:

  • An Eventzee Party Pack with 20 challenges in a variety of different types.
  • Access to Social features for your hunt, including the photo stream and chat areas.
  • Players at your event will also be awarded an all NEW Eventzee badge for hosts and attendees posted to their Munzee accounts, as well as 500 Munzee points for each active player.

To set up your scavenger hunt the host will need to send their username and the email associated with their new Eventzee account to the Munzee Events Team. The host will then be made an admin of the Eventzee hunt and sent a code to the hunt beforehand along with the badge code.

*Please note that this package will require users to download the new Eventzee app and that these challenges will not count toward the previous Eventzee badges. Players will need to create a new Eventzee account if they have not already set one up in the new app.

Lastly, if you’re new to hosting, or if it’s been a while, you may want to check out our dedicated Help Guide section — we have articles that will walk you through every step of the way!

We’re looking forward to celebrating 10 years of this crazy game, and you, the players, who’ve kept it alive for so long!

Munzee on!

Roverhaul Part 3!

Roverhaul Part 1 gave Rover the ability to dig up Jewel Shards while accompanying you on Jewel-capping sessions. Roverhaul Part 2 gave Rover the ability to extend your capture radius with Rover Treats. What does Roverhaul Part 3 have in store? A combination of the two!

Another Trick in Rover’s Toolkit!

When you capture the last stage of a Physical Trail Munzee while a Rover is with you, you have a chance of finding a Rover Treat! In addition, the deployer of the trail will also receive a Rover Treat! After all, the deployer did go to the effort of deploying and maintaining their Trail, which is not an easy feat!

Please note that this is only for Physical Trails. The chance of finding Rover Treats may spread to other types in the future!

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

Of course, if you need more Rover Treats, you can pick them up in the In-App Store for 40 Zeds, or get a pack of 10 Rover Treats in the Freeze Tag Store for $3.

As we continue to refine and improve the Munzee app, expect more Rover-related news!

Munzee on!

Updates to Quick Deploy and MORE in the App!

UPDATE: There was a mix-up involving the build number and our first note in bold red text below — it’s been corrected now!

Earlier in the year, we updated the Munzee Website with some improvements to the Quick Deploy process, which received a lot of positive feedback! We knew the next step was to bring over similar improvements to the app, so here’s a rundown of what you’ll find in the latest OTA (over-the-air) update! The build will be #736 — try restarting your app to see if it downloads!

An Improved Quick Deploy Experience!

Now, when you hold down the green pin button, instead of a list of each undeployed munzee ordered from newest to oldest, they are now grouped by type, along with a confirmation pop up to avoid accidental deploys, as you can see below:

In addition, the screens above will only show munzees that have never been deployed. We thought this change would be more convenient for players as most previously deployed munzees will require you to be within a certain range of where they were originally deployed to redeploy them. If you do need to redeploy a munzee, you can still access it by navigating to your Profile –> [Inventory] –> [Undeployed Munzees].

You may recall that the old Quick Deploy process allowed you to view the map while you chose which munzee to deploy. While that is no longer the case, we did make another tweak that should be a good compromise: now, Quick Deploy will deploy where the map is centered on, rather than where you (and your blue dot) are located. As an example, here’s how you can quickly deploy a Greeting Card near a friend:

You can also use this to quickly drop munzees around upcoming event locations, if the area isn’t too crowded. Simply open the side menu, tap on [Munzee Events], and then tap on an Event Indicator pin to get to its details and view it on the map!

Please note that (1) Destinations like Skylands and Virtual Condos will still be deployed at the player’s current location, even if you use Quick Deploy — and (2) this change has only been made for the Quick Deploy process — all other Deploy processes in the app will still deploy at your current location.

Other Fixes/Improvements!

  • Dismissing the Send Rover pop up when given the option with the extended capture radius will no longer deselect the Munzee
  • Tapping on a badge from the Notifications list will scroll you down to the exact location of that badge in the Achievements area — this was how we had it working originally, but it seems to have broken at some point — we’ve fixed it and hopefully it stays that way! ?
  • Setting off blasts while moving quickly should blast the Munzees in the exact location you’re in when tapping on the “Fire!” button, thanks to caching improvements!

We hope you enjoy the changes we’ve made in this update! Remember that we will always maintain our Update Log HERE. Feel free to check it out whenever you like!

Munzee on!

Destination Renovation Part 2: Virtual Resorts!

Last year we took the first step in converting our Destination Munzees into a more flexible system with Motels and Destination Credits. It’s been tough to rework these more complex game pieces, but we are excited to announce that Destination Renovations are now LIVE for Virtual Resort Munzees!

This new feature will allow players to renovate Virtual Resorts and add additional rooms for even more capping fun. You’ll be able to renovate any Virtual Resort Munzee (whether you own it or not) on both the web and Munzee app. Find a breakdown of all the details below!

Virtual Resort Details

Virtual Resort Munzees are now on a star-based system like Motels. Each star ranking equals 5 rooms, so effective immediately all original Virtual Resort Munzees have been converted into 3-Star Virtual Resorts. The icon images on the map are currently updating, but if you do see a “blank” or original Virtual Resort icon please note that, that is indeed a 3-Star Virtual Resort.

Renovating Virtual Resorts will offer the following:

  • 3-Star Virtual Resort: 15 rooms (Standard Virtual Resort)
  • 4-Star Virtual Resort: 20 Rooms
  • 5-Star Virtual Resort: 25 Rooms

By renovating you could be a part of a 5-Star Virtual Resort that is worth a substantial amount of points! Every time you Renovate a Virtual Resort you’ll earn 50 points as well, so get your construction hat on!

The Destination Renovation is currently only available for Virtual Resort and Motel Munzees, but it’s safe to say construction on other Destination Munzee types is slated for some time in the future!

So how do you Renovate a Virtual Resort? The same way as Renovating a Motel! Check out our Help Guide article if you need a refresher!

As Virtual Resorts are complete Virtual Munzees, they have NOT been converted into Destination Credits. Players will need Destination Credits to renovate Virtual Resorts.

  • Renovating a Virtual Resort = 1 Destination Credit per 5 rooms.

Don’t forget to check if you already have Destination Credits in your inventory! As more physical Destination types are given the ability to renovate, these types may also get converted into Destination Credits. Otherwise, you can purchase Destination Credits in the Freeze Tag Online Store and the In-App Store (click HERE if you’re on your Munzee-playing device), so be sure to stock up in case you come across any Virtual Resorts or Motels with no vacancy!

We hope you’re raring to use more Destination Credits with this new option! We’re always looking for ways to refresh the map and add value to game pieces you may already own!

Munzee on!

Can You Reunite the Lost Socks With Their Other Halves?

Did you know that May 24th is National Scavenger Hunt Day? As it’s the perfect holiday to highlight Munzee, we’ve decided to celebrate it the ENTIRE MONTH! We have a few surprises in the works, but as it IS a new month, the first order of business was to create some new themed specials! We took inspiration from a holiday that’s coming up even sooner — National Lost Sock Memorial Day on May 9th! Starting at 12:00 MHQ today, Lost Socks will bounce around the map until 23:59 MHQ on May 31st.

Classic scavenger hunts often require you to find socks of a particular (and usually uncommon) color (i.e. red), so we thought turning them into specials to chase would be a fun twist! A total of 1,520 Lost Sock specials will be unleashed! That breaks down into 95 of each of the 16 socks. They will bounce around every 4 hours or when capped.

You can find these forlorn foot coverings at the following:

Points

  • Capture: 150 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Lost Socks will be attracted to Magnets. To access these specials, please turn on your “All Expiring Specials” and “All Limited Edition Specials” filters.

Badges

There will be eight badges to earn for these specials. All you need to do is capture each of the Lost Socks shown above! By doing so, you will have completed each pair of socks! You can see the first badge below:

Lozenge Legs- Capture the Left and Right Argyle Sock specials to complete the pair.

It’s up to you to find the socks for the remaining 7 badges! Cap as many of these specials as you can to set yourself up for success!

Munzee on!
