Celebrate the Day of the Dead with Dia De Los Muertos Cards

Halloween may be coming to an end, but just because something has ended doesn’t mean we stop celebrating it! Our memories persevere through our friends, and family, which is a key value behind the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos. Known as the Day of The Dead, the somber reasons behind this holiday are instead a bright and cheerful celebration of life and community. To bring a colorful conclusion to our spooky season we’ve put together a new greeting card to help celebrate!

NEW Greeting Card Munzee Details

We have a new Dia De Los Muertos Limited Edition card for your deploying pleasure available HERE! This card will only be available for a SUPER limited time. Once the Day of the Dead passes, these cards will too! Sale ends soon on Thursday, November 3rd at 12:00 MHQ.

Dia De Los Muertos Card
Points
  • Limited Edition
    • Deploy: 60
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 30

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!

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.

We hope you enjoy passing notes to your classmates!

Munzee on!

November 2022 Skin: Gobbling Flamingo

As the month comes to a close, we wanted to make sure you were heading into November with your desired Flamingos! The skin for completing your October capture streak (and the corresponding badge), which is the Flaminghost shown below, will be awarded in early November. But, we couldn’t wait to share what’s in store for next month!

October Flamingo Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Flamingo yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $3.

How to have a permanent Flamingo on your account next year:

  • Own at least 8 Flamingos by the end of the year
    • Each month, the price of a Flamingo will decrease by $1.
    • However, players can only purchase 1 Flamingo every 28 days.

Where to stock up on Flamingos if you missed out on earlier months:

  • Reseller Garden Flamingos include the base Flamingo AND the special Reseller skin — if you’re interested, you can check out our blog post on them HERE!

November Flamingo Details

What Flamingo Skin can you look forward to earning in November? The crafty Gobbling Garden Flamingo! Like the other flamingos, the Gobbling Garden Flamingo is a temporary POB that will remain on the map as long as players with permanent Garden Flamingos continue to use it.

Gobbling Garden Flamingo
Points
  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300
Additional Info
  • Available for multi-capture
  • Non-blastable
  • Attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets
  • Filters: “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials”

As stated earlier, to earn this skin, you’ll need to complete next month’s (November’s) capture streak. Once the skin is awarded in December, you can change the skin on the flamingo to this one at any point — refer to our Help Guide article for the instructions!

You can find these crayoned birds feasting at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Gobbling Garden Flamingo will scatter up to 3 NEW Paper Feathers nearby when it is captured!

Paper Feather
Points
  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

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

Badges

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

  • Unique type deploy badges — you’ll need to earn each month’s skin by keeping your streak up!
  • Overall deploy badges — the more flamingos you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned flamingo!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many flamingos as you can find!

While we revealed images for the first of each badge line in the original post, we are happy to show you the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with the Gobbling Garden Flamingo:

We hope earning November’s Flamingo Skin doesn’t feel too much like a school project!

Munzee on!

November 2022 Clan Wars Requirements

Level 6 Remains   **REQUIREMENTS AND REWARDS UPDATED BELOW**

Last month we made some changes to make earlier levels easier for new players and smaller clans to achieve, while adding some more difficult challenges to higher levels for hardcore players to work towards! We will be continuing to make adjustments as we collect more data and feedback from you all! As such, we wanted to let you know that there will be a Level 6 released again this month, but the final requirements and rewards will not be revealed until November 1st. This will give us time to review the results of the previous battle and make any final updates before revealing them to you all. We appreciate your patience as we fine tune the difficulty here!

Exciting Update Coming Soon

We’re prepping a game changing update that should positively impact gameplay moving forward! Right now if you capture a bouncer sitting on a Munzee you haven’t captured before, it would only show that you captured that bouncer, even though it marks both the bouncer and landing pad as captured. This means you lose the opportunity to capture the landing pad as its own type. For example, if a Unicorn lands on a Shamrock you haven’t captured before, you only see a notification and get points for the Unicorn capture and the Shamrock disappears from the map. We’re going to fix that 🙂

Once this update is pushed live, if a Unicorn lands on a Shamrock you haven’t captured before, you can capture that Unicorn first! Then the Shamrock will remain on the map for you to capture separately. This should also be retroactive, so if there were any bouncers you had captured in the past that were sitting on types you hadn’t captured yet, they should reappear on the map for you to capture as its own type! This will also be applied to QRewzees and SleepZees, as well as scatters such as Charges from Electric Mysteries!

This update will be pushed live sometime on November 1st, which will allow us to monitor and make any updates before Clan Wars starts on November 3rd. If you’re lucky, you may notice some new types popping up near you to capture around then!

 


As usual, you’ll find the latest details to our clan requirements and rewards in the clan section of our app. There have been a few issues with activity not counting for some players in the opening minutes of the clan war. Please be sure to give our servers a bit of time to switch from Clan Wars OFF to Clan Wars ON. 🙂 This will ease frustration, just 10 or 15 minutes will make all the difference. We’re happy everyone is so anxious to get started on the 3rd of each month! In addition: Please do not change your clan membership for at least 2 hours after the month ends. The calculations are still being made and it could ruin your efforts.

It is possible that we could update clan requirements prior to November 3 and reserve the right to do so. The final requirements and rewards will always be shown in the app. All of this is up in the air based on how situations continue to change worldwide based on COVID-19.

November ClanPak

NOTE – Along with the update to allow for players to capture the bouncer and landing pad separately, you may notice a change to how credits are tallied for the Total Captures requirement. We discovered that it was incorrectly giving credit for 2 Total Captures each time 1 Bouncer was captured. Starting in November, capturing 1 Bouncer will only count for 1 Total Capture. If the landing pad hasn’t been captured before, then it can be captured separately afterwards, adding 1 Total Capture to the overall tally.

November Badges

Your Clan can earn monthly badges to earn for reaching distinct levels of Clan Wars each month. You won’t be able to earn a badge until the entire clan has reached the specified level. There will be a total of 6 badges available in November. The first badge will appear as follows:

Overall Clan Notes:

Please keep in mind Levels 4 & 5 are considered advanced gameplay and not recommended for brand new players. Level 6 especially is reserved for the elite hardcore players, not for the faint of heart! Be aware when allowing new players to join your clans. QRew/ZeeQRew status will be required for any clans earning levels 3, 4 & 5. See qualifications for ZeeQRew here. If you are not a member on November 1st you will not be able to qualify until November 15th. If you lose qualification before the 15th you will not be able to qualify until December 1st.

*Claimed QRates will not carry over from before the clan battle starts. The QRate must be found, opened, and claimed during the month of the current clan battle. This time period begins on the 3rd, same as the clan battle.

*All shards may be redeemed at https://www.munzee.com/redeem
Total points include Cap, Deploy, and CapOn of all types.
Reseller caps/deploys include all types of RUM/vRUM/reseller card but NOT reseller gnomes or any scatters.
Bouncer captures include any POB, MOB, or TOB (even the temporary POB).
Social and Personal will not count for Deploy requirements.
Social and Universal will not count for total Capture requirements.
Personal and Universal will not count for Physical points of any sort.

For complete information regarding Clan Wars, access our Help Guide!

Hints for how to play during Stay Home orders:
Use the swap feature for brand new virtual deploys.
Use the online map to deploy virtuals worldwide or find gardens to deploy in on social media groups.
Watch the online store for sales during the month to help meet your goals.
Use evolution reset credits to get new CapOn points from OLD deploys (they do NOT count as new deploys)

And finally, be responsible. If your local government, your health, or any circumstances require you to Stay Home – DO NOT participate. It is up to each of us to determine what is safe and what is allowed. This is a game and not worth risking your own live or the lives of others.
Munzee on, stay safe and Play Your Way!

Requirements and rewards found in app are the final word. Please report any issues to Munzee support.
Play at your own risk, within the laws of your local area.

Flat Cat Scatters to Celebrate National Cat Day!

Whether you’re a cat person or not, there’s no denying that cats are the animals we associate most with spooky season — after all, they are the preferred pet of witches (especially black ones) — though owls, with their ominous hoots, are a close second (but aren’t they basically just cats with wings?). It’s even more fitting then, that National Cat Day is on October 29th, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have some fun with Mari’s Flat Cats!

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Thursday, October 27th at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, October 30th at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture Flat Cats, up to 3 Cat Toys may be scattered nearby!

The Cat Toys will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flat Cats owner’s account. This means that unlike Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes, have a capture radius of 300 feet, and you’ll be able to use Rover Treats to capture them as well! These Cat Toy scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

The rewards for Cat Toys are as follows:

  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 25 points

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

Badges

There are 2 badges available for this special period. Make sure you cap as many Cat Toys as you can to receive both badges!

Flash Discount!

Need more Flat Cats near you? We’ve got a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” discount at the Freeze Tag Store! You must add 3 Flat Cats to your cart to use it, and are limited to 2 uses per order (in other words — put 6 in the cart, pay for 4, 2 are free). There is NO CODE required — the discount should apply automatically! It will be valid for the same time period as the scatters mentioned above.

We hope you don’t get too tuckered out playing with Benji and Burr!

Munzee on!

Bee-Ball Bouncers for Sports Fans!

Basketball season officially kicked off last week, so if all of the Halloween-themed releases aren’t your thing, perhaps you’ll enjoy shooting some some Bee-Ball with your favorite Freeze Tag Mascot!

Bee-Ball Bouncer Details

The Bee-Ball Bouncers are temporary POBs that will remain on the map until 23:59 MHQ on December 31, 2022 — when it will be automatically archived on your account. You may recall that this is similar to the Baby Animals, or most recently, the Mad Hatter Garden Gnome.

You can choose between the Munzee Mascot or the WallaBee Mascot as you’ll see below. If you’re interested in scouting a single player, both, or even wish to form a whole team, you can do so HERE!

They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Badges

There are deploy badges for each Bee-Ball Bouncer, which you can see below.

There are also 6 capture badges associated with these bouncers: 3 are based on overall Mascot captures, and the remaining 3 are based on overall Bee-Ball captures. Make sure to cap as many as you can to progress through both badge lines!

We hope you enjoy seeing these masked athletes on the map!

Munzee on!

October 2022 GOTM Winners

We began October finishing the last 2 days of our Around ZEE World Mailbox. In the middle of the week, we started our first ZEE-Dayz of the month, this time featuring Flat Friends and Flat Objects! Then on Friday we kicked off the first of our Halloween-themed releases, the Candy Crypt MOBs and Pumpkoins! On Saturday, Mari, Mick, and Tamara attended the Southern California October Munzee Monthly Event, where they got to comfortably catch up with players and take advantage of the double points period!

The next week was Rob’s turn to attend events — he was able to attend all 6 of the SC Munzee Jubilee 2022 events, even posting a quick video to check in! As promised, we had our second ZEE-Dayz during this time, featuring Greeting Cards since they are popular choices to deploy at events. We also released some new Halloween cards, and brought back some old designs from last year. The next day, we released the Count Calcula Mech, available for Pumpkoins, and more artifacts for the Candy Crypt MOBs!

This past week, we welcomed our new Queen Munzee, humbird7, and celebrated by deploying 100 Hummingbird tPOBs on her account! We also put out info on a Christmas Party Add-On for December Events, and had a successful app update featuring potential GPS fixes and In-App Map Links. Just yesterday, we went back into Halloween mode with NEW Myth SkeleSkins.

We are now happy to announce the winners of the October Gardens of the Month (GOTM)! The badges will be awarded by early November, but we couldn’t wait to share the winners we’ve chosen!

October GOTM

This month, as you’ve probably guessed, we’ve chosen gardens that bring the spirit of Halloween to the map! 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 Halloween in Ottawa garden, designed by Jeffeth, and the Hungry Bat ? Terry ? garden, designed by Rikitan, as our winning October GOTM! The gardens appear as follows:

Halloween in Ottawa by Jeffeth in Ottawa, ON, Canada

We love the scene Jeffeth designed to fit within his signature window frame! A Jack-o’-lantern and ghost lit from behind by an eerie full moon!

Here’s a note from the player who designed this garden:

I am excited for Fall, and for Halloween next month! I am also excited to see what Munzee has planned! This is my final window in my seasonal set here in Ottawa..spoooooky lol

We hope Jeffeth has been enjoying the Halloween-themed releases we mentioned earlier in this post, and that he’s looking forward to what we have planned for the rest of the month! If the design of this garden looks familiar, we previously chose his Christmas in Ottawa garden as one of last December’s GOTM! We thought it made the perfect partner to the other winner, as you’ll see below:

Hungry Bat ? Terry ? by Rikitan in Bratislava, Slovakia

Rikitan’s recommendation of placing Void Mysteries with Virtual Colors in a garden to catch the scatters is a great strategy that many garden designers employ. What other types do you like pairing with Virtual Colors?

Here’s a note from the player who designed this garden:

I wanted to create space (pun intended) for new species of virtual munzees – Void mysteries. They go well together with colored virtuals – for catching the scatters. Regarding design – combination of cute & dark always works well, so I went for a bat. For extra fun & story factor, I combine it with low battery and named whole thing “Hungry Bat Terry / Hungry battery”. You know, when you play Munzee out in winter season, your cell phone battery is exhausted very quickly!

We loved the punny name and design that Rikitan came up with! It’s simple but effective, fitting in perfectly with the Halloween theme but also making the garden unique and relatable — our devices do have to work harder when the weather is extremely cold!

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.

Based on your feedback, we’ve created a Google Form where you can submit GOTM nominations — here’s the link: https://forms.gle/SjUQeRxdi5FT81pCA

We’ll still check the iloveyou@munzee.com inbox for stragglers, but please try to send your submissions to this new Google Form instead. 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.

Munzee on!

P.S. Are you looking for POTM requirements? Remember that last year, we announced that we were holding off on POTM for now as we develop a new way to highlight our unique player base!

Dress Up Your Myths with NEW SkeleSkins!

The bony artifacts of our ongoing Candy Crypt MOBs may have inspired this year’s Halloween skins — and while a skeleton is perhaps one of the basic Halloween costumes, we think the skins below are anything but — particularly for the many-headed Hydra, as you’ll see below!

SkeleSkins

Like last year’s Halloween skins, these skins are available in the Freeze Tag Store as a 3-Pack for $10! They will remain in the store until 23:59 MHQ on November 1st. You can shop them HERE!

SkeleUnicorn SkeleCyclops SkeleHydra
Landing Pads Landing Pads Landing Pads

If you don’t already own the base Myths, but are still interested in using these skins, you can shop them HERE, but keep in mind that the base Myth will also need to be upgraded in order to use the skin. If you haven’t upgraded your base Myth yet, you can purchase a Bouncer Upgrade Credit.

For more information on Skins, you can check out our Help Guide articles HERE and HERE.

Pumpkoins Week 3

As usual, the most up-to-date list of what’s available will be what you see on munzee.com/redeem, where the [Pumpkoins (Week X)] tab swaps out on 12:00 MHQ every Friday. So make sure to spend your credits each week!

We’ve also got a new SkeleSkin available in the Redeem Store in the [Pumpkoins Surprises] tab, for 25 PC. Like the Count Calcula Mech, it will remain available through 02:30 MHQ on Thursday, November 3rd (the expiration date we had set for Pumpkoins).

SkeleMermaid
Landing Pads

If you don’t already own the base Myth, but are still interested in using this skin, you can shop the Mermaid HERE!

Extended Myth Badge Lines

We mentioned earlier in the week that, as part of fulfilling our new Queen Munzee’s wishes, an extension to the Unique Myth Capture badge line (excluding the MythologiGals) and the Unique Modern Myth Capture badge line was in the works. As of this posting, the new badges are now live!

Unlike the Points in a Day badges, these will be fully retroactive.

We hope you enjoy seeing the SkeleMyths on the map, and that these badges will give you a new goal to shoot towards!

Munzee on!

In-App Map Link Update!

The focus of our Tech Team the past few months has been to address the unresolved Known Issues — namely the “GPS Sticking or Not Following” issue. We are happy to report that some of our beta testers have noticed that this latest app update has resolved these issues for them. If you’re still experiencing any GPS issues after trying a fresh install, please follow up with support@munzee.com so that we can investigate further. In the meantime, we’re also still investigating the floating pin issue some are encountering on Android.

In addition, today’s app update includes work on another improvement which we’ll go into detail about below, along with other various bug fixes and tweaks.

If you’re interested, you’ll need to download the latest update — which is 4.1.155 on Android and 4.1.156 on iOS — from your device’s App Store. If you do not see the latest update in the App Store, you’ll need to check back later. On Android devices, you could try clearing the cache of your Google Play Store app to see if you can force your store to refresh.

In-App Map Links!

Similar to the Permalink feature on the Web Map, you can now generate links to specific munzees OR areas on the map from the app! Here’s how:

Specific Munzee Map Link:

  1. Navigate to your desired munzee’s [Details] screen
  2. In the top-right corner, tap […]
  3. Tap [Copy URL]
  4. A popup with the URL will appear
  5. Tap [OK] on the popup
  6. Another popup should appear at the bottom confirming you’ve copied the URL to your device’s clipboard
  7. Paste where needed!

Map Area Link:

  1. Navigate to your desired area on the map
  2. Tap and hold your finger on the screen for 3+ seconds
  3. A confirmation popup will appear
  4. Tap [Yes] on the popup
  5. A popup with the URL will appear
  6. Tap [OK] on the popup
  7. Another popup should appear at the bottom confirming you’ve copied the URL to your device’s clipboard
  8. Paste where needed!

Please note that creating links to bouncing munzees — i.e. Unicorns — will NOT work as they are not tied to a specific set of coordinates. If you navigate to a link created for a bouncing munzee as shown in the next section, it will always bring you to (0, 0) — the middle of the ocean.

In-App Map Links = Deep Links

When you tap on an In-App Map Link, it will work differently depending on the device being used to access them:

  1. If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, the link will launch the Web Map centered on either a specific munzee or area on the map, depending on how the link was created
  2. If you’re using a mobile device:
    1. If you do NOT have the Munzee App installed, the link will launch your device’s App Store and navigate to Munzee’s app page so you can download the app
    2. If you do have the Munzee App installed, the link will launch an intermediary page, as you can see in the screenshot below
      1. Once you tap [OPEN], one more confirmation popup will appear
      2. Tap [Open] on that popup and it will launch the Munzee App, moving the map so that it is centered on either a specific munzee or area on the map, depending on how the link was created
        1. If the link is for a specific munzee, it will also display the Summary Panel at the top, as if you’ve selected it on the map!

If the link doesn’t open to the correct location, try tapping it again to reload! NOTE – players tapping the links must have the latest build installed for them to work as expected.

Use Cases

  • All players can now share a link to any Munzee or location on the map!
  • New players can share a location to ask for help and nearby deploys
  • Players looking to trade virtual deploys can drop a link to where they’d like it
  • Event Hosts can quickly link players to where to deploy for the event
  • Garden Builders can easily share a link to the location of their Garden
  • Sick or injured players requesting for nearby deploys while they recover

We hope you find this feature useful, and thank you for your continuing patience as we work to fix the outstanding app issues! If after installing this update, you are still experiencing the main issue mentioned above, please e-mail support@munzee.com with your device model and OS combo.

Munzee on!

Congratulations humbird7!

Today we celebrate a significant event in Munzee history, which has been many years in the making, and occurred Friday afternoon. It’s time to announce a new “Queen Munzee” has arrived — congratulations to humbird7, whose consistent efforts have finally allowed her to reach the ultimate goal!

If you’ve attended any Munzee Events in the past (especially the larger events, or any events near her home base), you may have met humbird7, aka Sandra, but for those who haven’t been fortunate enough to get to know her, or would like a refresher, you can check out her previous Player of the Week post HERE!

Hummingbird Details

To celebrate this momentus occasion, we’ve created a new temporary POB especially for humbird7 based on her signature bird and profile picture. As humbird7 always posts a lovely hummingbird photo on most of the bouncers she caps, we encourage you to also post photos and messages on these munzees as well, if you are lucky to cap one! We’re sure humbird7 will enjoy seeing your well-wishes!

The Hummingbird will remain on the map through the end of the year — 23:59 MHQ on Saturday, December 31st. We’ve deployed 100 of these on humbird7’s account!

Hummingbird
Points
  • Deploy: 0
  • Capture: 277
  • CapOn: 10
Additional Info
  • Available for multi-capture
  • Non-blastable
  • Attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets
  • Filters: “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials”

You can find these beautiful birds flying to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

  • Greenies
  • Premiums
  • Evolutions:
    • All stages of Tulip
    • All stages of Rose
    • All stages of Lily
  • Jewels:
    • Pink Diamond
    • Aquamarine

Badges

There is 1 badge you can earn by capturing a Hummingbird. Since there is only one, we’ll keep it a secret for now.

Queenly Wishes

After re-reading humbird7’s POTW post mentioned above, we checked to see if any of her wishes have been fulfilled since then, and which we could try to fulfill now that she’s Queen:

“My top wish is that the virtuals would not block physical placement; that there would be 2 layers to the game. Say, you visit Celebration Park and want to leave a physical, you can’t because of all of the virtuals in the area.”
→ Fulfilled on June 21, 2019

“I would also like the option of upgrading old Mystery Virtuals for a small fee so that the owner would receive more than 3 CapOn points.”
→ Fulfilled on October 19, 2018 ✅ (with no fee!)

“I would like a 250K Day badge…”
→ Still Unfulfilled ⚠️

“…as well as some myth badges for 250, 500, 1000, and the king of capping 1500 unique myths. I know this may be hard for some people, including myself, but it’s always good to have a goal.”
→ Fulfilled on August 18, 2017

Since the “Points in a Day” badge line was the only thing left for us to tackle, we got to work on extending it! It now has 4 more badges! They will be retroactive, but only within the last 30 days.

In addition, although we had fulfilled her wish about the “Unique Myth Capture” badge line, we’ve planned to extend it very soon with 1 more badge for each of the following myths:

  • Unicorn
  • Leprechaun
  • Dragon
  • Yeti
  • Faun
  • Hydra
  • Pegasus
  • Cyclops

You’ll notice the MythologiGals are left out — this is because their population hasn’t reached the same numbers as the other myths since they are the newest set. We’ll have to extend their badges some time in the future!

We’ll also extend the Unique Modern Myth Capture badge line by 1, most likely on the same day the Unique Myth Capture badges are extended!

We hope you join us in celebrating humbird7 — long may she reign!

Munzee on!
