Salty Dog Specials!

Arghhh…arf? Ahoy there, scally-wags! We have a question… what’s better than dogs? PIRATE DOGS! Set sail with our NEW Salty Dog specials! You’ll encounter all kinds of piratey pooches, can you bark-lieve it? Starting NOW, you can try your luck at following these dastardly dogs to treasure until September 24, 2023 at 23:59 MHQ.

Two different Base specials will bounce around the map, the physical Mutt Map and the virtual Chewy Compass, as seen above.

Salty Dog Specials

These seafaring specials will will be released in waves, but will end at a total of 1500 Mutt Maps and 1500 Chewy Compasses. They will bounce around on the map every 3 hours or when captured. Capture either to start a scatter trail! The first scatter is guaranteed, then the rest only have a chance to scatter from the previous one. You must capture all 7 Salty Dog scatters to find the buried treasure!

You can find these Base specials at the following munzees near you:

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

One you cap either Salty Dog special, you will follow the trail of Salty Dog scatters and capture each member of Captain BarkBeard’s crew to find treasure beyond yer wildest dreams! Legend tells of a Crossbones treasure chest, filled with Zeds for whoever opens it! The first pooch you can find is the lovable Cabin Good Boy, check him out above, but who knows what other scally-waggers ye’ll find along the trail!?

Dirty Dog Scatter

And be on the look out… all of these pirate pooches have a chance of scattering their messy friend, the Dirty Dog! He may be a little stinky, but he does have the chance of awarding you one Rover Treat – so don’t throw him in the pound just yet!

Badges

We’ve created 6 NEW Badges for you to earn via specific gameplay actions! We’ll show you the first badge and keep the rest a secret. It’s up to you to figure out the requirements for the other badges – good luck!

 

Now set sail and plunder the seven seas! Woof!

Munzee on!

The Discs will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flat Disc Golf Basket 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 disc scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

  • Mid-Range Disc
    • Capture: 50 points

Welcome, CuppaZee!

We have some VERY exciting news here at MHQ that we can’t wait to share! We’re sure you all know and LOVE the amazing app, CuppaZee – and we do too! The creator, Sam Hindess, is doing AMAZING things over there, and his dedication to Munzee and CuppaZee is super inspiring. With all that being said, we’re extremely happy to announce that Sam and CuppaZee are now officially joining the Freeze Tag Family!

Sam started playing Munzee in 2013, being an avid Munzee player for almost a decade before joining Freeze Tag. For over half of that time playing, Sam had been developing CuppaZee, initially a 3rd party companion website (and later mobile app) for the game, regularly expanding its feature set based on the wants and needs of other players.

The CuppaZee app allows Munzee players to track their daily activity and ZeeOps progress, as well as keep track of items in their inventory and the locations of their bouncers. These features have become invaluable to the thousands of players who utilize the app!

This partnership between CuppaZee and Munzee will allow us to bring some very cool updates to you in the near future, so keep an eye out!

And now, a word from Sam:

“It’s awesome to have CuppaZee finally joining the Munzee family. I’m excited to be part of the Freeze Tag Team and look forward to seeing what brilliant ideas we can achieve together in the future!” 

And of course, a statement from our President, Rob Vardeman:

“I’ve watched Sam progress in his development skills over the past several years and seen CuppaZee grow to be a powerful sidekick to the Munzee app. I couldn’t be more pleased to welcome both to our family! The future is brighter together!”

And to go along with this exciting announcement, we have a new “Meet Sam Badge” as well! How can you earn this magnificent badge, you may be wondering? Find Sam at one of the Mega events happening in the UK on Friday, May 12 and Saturday, May 13! Rob and Lou will also be there to officially welcome him to the team! So many awesome reasons to attend!

Let’s Go Munzee Mad with Double Points and New Greeting Cards!

This weekend we’re celebrating Munzee Madness and to make the weekend extra special, 2x points on Greeting Cards and Flats will start at 12:00 MHQ March 3rd (for ALL players)! Also, get pumped for TWO new Greeting Cards – the Yellow Brick Road Card, and the Munchkinland Card, which you can check out below!

Shop the collection HERE to make the most of the weekend’s bonuses!

Also, keep the Oz-ian fun going with our Emerald City Card! It’s the perfect companion to the other wizardy goodies that we’re offering right now!

Greetings From Oz Cards:

Like the other “Greetings From…” cards these are Limited Edition cards, and the points are as follows:

  • Deploy: 60
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 30

You can stock up on these cards and save them for later BUT they will only be in the store until 12:00 MHQ on Monday March 20th!

Double Points Details:

From the period of Friday, March 3rd at 12:00 MHQ through Sunday, March 5th at 23:59 MHQ, enjoy double points on ALL Flats and Cards!

 

Don’t Forget!

The Wonderful Wizard Card Collectors Club is available for $15 and includes the NEW Wonderful Wizard Mailbox, which will deliver 16 Greeting Card Munzees for you to capture PLUS a matching Wonderful Wizard Card each day for you to deploy, maybe near a friend? That’s 16 new cards to deploy on top of the 16 you can cap!

General Info

Don’t forget to edit the title and the notes of a Greeting Card 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!

We hope you enjoy sending greetings from your over the rainbow!

Munzee on!

Mega Events started with an absolute BLAST!

Today is a very special day — it’s Lou’s birthday! ?

? Happy birthday Lou! To celebrate, we wanted to look back at the recent Mega events, which were a smashing success thanks to her and all the hosts she coordinated with.


Mega Events started with an absolute BLAST, literally! The first Mega events, collectively called Munzee Mecca 2023, were held January 13-15 on the Space Coast of Florida. The event happened to coincide with SpaceX launching a Falcon Heavy rocket on the evening of the 15th, witnessed by many players still in the area.

 

Thank you to the team of hosts and sponsors for putting on a great series of events. The events were well attended with over 60 players including Flat Rob himself, and the Geocaching Vlogger.

If you haven’t seen the highlight video produced from the weekend please watch it on YouTube.

 

We are looking forward to seeing other Mega events taking place around the world. Here is a list of confirmed Mega events throughout the rest of the year:

We’d love for you all to join these Mega events in person, but remember you can also take part in the fun by deploying Virtual Munzees around the event area. The Munzee Mecca attendees were certainly kept busy capping, and those CapOn points are a nice bonus too!

We plan to promote all Mega events and will make our best attempt to have members of our team attend whenever possible.

Members of our California-based team will be in attendance, as well as Rob and Lou, for the upcoming Munzee Madness events! Each will have a special badge just for this event! Please make your plans to join our team in Southern California, March 3-4.

If you’d like to host your own Mega events contact Lou events@munzee.com.

Munzee on!

Perfect Host + Perfect Attendee Bouncers!

This year, one of our goals was to encourage the hosting of more Munzee Events! We greatly appreciate all of the hosts who helped us to reach this goal, and all of the attendees for making the events more vibrant and fun. As we promised in last year’s blog post, we’ve created exclusive bouncers for Perfect Hosts — those who’ve hosted a Monthly Munzee Event every month this year — and Perfect Attendees — those who’ve attended a Monthly Munzee Event every month this year. These bouncers will be added to your account sometime during the first week of January, along with the badges, which you can see below. Read on to find out more!

Flamingo Floatie Bouncer Details

To show our appreciation to the Perfect Hosts, we’ve created a unicorn that is sure to be the life of the party! The Unicorn Flamingo Floatie has on a tasteful amount of bling, and is ready to move to the music with its guests.

Similarly, we created the Flamingo Floatie for the Perfect Attendees — we thought it would be a fun variation on the flamingo that we haven’t yet done as a bouncer this year.

Below are the point values for both bouncers. As you can see, in addition to having a more complex design, the Unicorn Flamingo Floatie is also worth more points than the Flamingo Floatie by every measure — even when you compare their scatters that appear further down the post. Since the Perfect Hosts invested quite a lot of time and effort into hosting their events, we wanted their bouncer to be a bit more special and valuable.

Points

  • Unicorn Flamingo Floatie:
    • Deploy: 500
    • Capture: 250
    • CapOn: 300
  • Flamingo Floatie:
    • Deploy: 250
    • Capture: 200
    • CapOn: 150

You can find these puffed up party favors floating at the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Unicorn Flamingo Floatie will scatter up to 3 NEW Frozen Flocktails nearby when it is captured! Similarly, the Flamingo Floatie will scatter up to 3 NEW Flocktails nearby when it is captured!

These will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the 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 scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Points

  • Frozen Flocktails:
    • Capture: 50
    • CapOn: 50
  • Flocktails:
    • Capture: 35
    • CapOn: 25

These bouncers will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Unicorn Flamingo Floatie or Flamingo Floatie on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Unicorn Flamingo Floatie or Flamingo Floatie visits you. These bouncers are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access these bouncers by turning on your “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials” filters.

Badges

There are 4 badges you can earn related to these bouncers. Similar to the Garden Flamingos, they each have “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges, which you can see below.

However, please note that these bouncers are NOT Garden Flamingos, so their captures will not contribute to the “Overall deploy” and “Overall capture” lines for Garden Flamingos.

Munzee Events in 2023 Follow-Up

As we mentioned in our social posts last week (FB | TWTR | IG), the theme for events this year is balloons! Not just the simple pear-shaped ones, but also balloon animals and other balloon art! We hope this gives you some ideas for decor, games, and more at your upcoming events — and if you’ve got a balloon animal kit somewhere in the garage or attic, now is the time to dust it off!

Below are the Host and Attendee badges for the January 2023 Monthly Events:

Please note that this year, the theme for the Monthly POBs (i.e. Gnomes, Flamingos) will be different from that of the Monthly Events — so those planning on keeping their streaks up next year will have something else to look forward to!

Munzee on!

Munzee Events in 2023!

We’ve almost had a full year of monthly Munzee events and it’s been brilliant to see you all getting back out there and meeting up again. Don’t forget to host and attend an event for the last couple of months of this year to unlock all the goodies available, more details on those to come very soon!

Monthly Event Packages

After so much wonderful feedback on the monthly event packages we are going to continue offering them for 2023, but with some changes:

There will be a new theme but the packages remain the same in price and contents. See the 2022 blog for those details.

For $50 you will get the following:

  • A Munzee Event Account and Event Indicator Pin
  • 50 Event Pins
  • No proximity restrictions (event pins still have to be 100 ft apart though)
  • 1 Electric Mystery + 5 Virtuals
  • 50 2023 Monthly Event Greeting Cards (same design every month)
  • Monthly Munzee Event 2023 Host badge (unique design every month)
  • Monthly Munzee Event 2023 Attendee badge (unique design every month)

There will again be the incentives to host and attend all 12 of the monthly events with badges, freebies and a new title. We’re really excited to reveal this year’s rewards and next year will be even bigger and better. Hosts will remember we gave a special gift during September for Player AppreZEEation month which was unannounced in advance.

Changes in 2023

We want to get back to players actually meeting up and events happening at a set time and place to help build our wonderful Munzee community. To this end events will be live for 24 hours from the chosen Go Live Time. This is quite different from the 7 days that we moved to during COVID times, but thankfully we are not living under the same social distancing restrictions any more.

We would like to incentivise hosts more, these are our key players in building the communities and we appreciate them so much. From January hosts will receive Munzee points relating to how many people attend their events. This will be 100 points for every capture of their Event Indicator pin. For example, with an event of 50 people the hosts will receive 5000 points.

Mega Events

We also want to help encourage some bigger Munzee events and will be introducing some Mega Munzee Monthly Event Packages. These will be perfect for big events that span a weekend because you’ll get 4 event packages with badges and icons and the price point will be lower than booking it all individually. There will be special badges available for these events and they will show differently on the calendar and map. We will be showcasing and supporting these events so please get in touch with Louise at events@munzee.com to discuss this if you’d like to host a Mega event.

A few events we’re already aware of: Munzee Mecca in Florida January 13-15. Not yet on the calendar is the long-running annual Munzee Madness in California each March, and the annual Munzee Mania in Minnesota each May. We know there is a growing community across the UK and would love to see something like this happen there.  Will we see the large events in and around Germany back in 2023? What other areas of Europe, Asia and Australia are ready to add your name to the list of MEGA events in 2023?

We’re really looking forward to seeing you all coming together and we’d love to join you too!

The first step is to get your event on the calendar: https://calendar.munzee.com/submit

The 2023 Monthly Event Packages will be added to the store soon here: https://store.freezetag.com/collections/event-packages

For now, get your event(s) on the calendar, then you will receive an email which kickstarts your communication with Louise so you can work on getting your event set up!

Munzee on!

-Louise
