No Discs? No Problem! Flat Disc Golf Baskets Will Provide For a Limited Time!

National Disc Golf Day is coming up this Saturday, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have some fun with Robbie’s Flat Disc Golf Basket!

Limited Time Scatter Details

From the period of Friday, August 6th at 15:00 MHQ through Monday, August 9th at 23:59 MHQ, when you capture a Flat Disc Golf Basket, up to 3 Discs may be scattered nearby!

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.

The rewards for Discs are as follows:

  • Putter Disc
    • Capture: 25 points
    • CapOn: 15 points
  • Mid-Range Disc
    • Capture: 50 points
    • CapOn: 25 points
  • Driver Disc
    • Capture: 75 points
    • CapOn: 35 points

For more information about Flat Disc Golf Basket, check out our Help Guide article!

Badges

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

We hope these scatters provide some fun extra gameplay this weekend!

Munzee on!

    • UPDATE: The link to the recording is HERE, and we’ve also embedded it below!
  • We’d love it if you got all dressed up and posted a selfie in the comments, but as always, do what you are comfortable with!

More Awards to Come!

Don’t think these are the only awards we’ll be handing out! We have 3 more awards currently planned, which we’d like you to vote on.

  • Miss ConZEEniality

  • MZeeP
    • Voted as one of the Most Valuable Players by your peers during the 10th Munzee Birthday Celebrations.
  • Best Dressed
    • Voted as one of the Best Dressed by your peers during the 10th Munzee Birthday Celebrations.

Head to the Google Form HERE! Unlike our other nomination Google Forms, this should be limited to one submission per person. We’ll keep the form open at least until the end of Birthday Events, which means some time during our workday on September 8th.

We are also brainstorming more fun and interesting honors to bestow in the 10 months following our 10th birthday — in particular, ones that feature newer players, as more established players have certainly had an advantage in the awards we’ve come up with so far.

It’s hard to predict what the criteria will be, so just keep playing your way and

Munzee On!

Play a Round of Disc Golf With Robbie’s Flat Object!

In February, we introduced the first Flat Object, the Flat DHS! We loved the fun personal touch Dylan gave to his namesake game piece, and when it comes to creativity, Dylan is a hard act to follow. The rest of the MHQ staff has been using their spare moments thoughtfully designing their own Flat Object, so we hope you keep an eye out for them as they are released!

The second Flat Object is brought to you by Robbie, our indispensable Project Manager! If you’re a WallaBee player, Robbie is certainly a familiar face, but lately Robbie’s also been deeply involved in Munzee as well! For those who haven’t been fortunate enough to get to know him, or would like a refresher, you can check out his most recent Meet Munzee Munzday post HERE!

Robbie’s Flat Object features another outdoor hobby of his — disc golf! Whether you’re an avid disc golf player yourself or have never had the opportunity, the all new Flat Disc Golf Basket game piece should be easy to play with for all skill levels. Read on to learn more!

Flat Disc Golf Basket Details

The Flat Disc Golf Basket joins the Flats as a virtual type. It is currently available in the Freeze Tag Store HERE!

Capture Radius: 300 feet, blastable

Proximity: 50 feet from other players’ Flats, 150 feet from your own.

Deploy: 19 points

Capture: Split 90 points with a minimum of 19 Points

CapOn: Split 90 points with a minimum of 19 Points

To access the Flat Disc Golf Basket munzee, turn on your “Virtual – Flats” filter or “All Flat Types” filter. For more information on Flats, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Badges

There are badge lines for deploying and capturing the Flat Disc Golf Basket, which feature some Munzee-fied versions of disc golf gear. You can see the first of each below!

In-App Store Update!

Flat Rob, Flat Lou, the Flat DHS, and the Flat Disc Golf Basket are also now available for purchase in the In-App Store! The former two will cost 450 Zeds, while the latter two will cost 500 Zeds.

We hope you enjoy playing disc golf and learning a bit more about Robbie in the process! We also respectfully request that when referring to this game piece, please don’t shorten it to “Flat Basket” — Robbie thinks it makes him sound like a “basket case.” ?

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!

Flat Objects: The Future of Flat Types!

Don’t get us wrong — we love all 4 of our Flat Friends! But not all of our staff members are comfortable with being flattened. To allow for expansion of the Flat type, we’ve come up with Flat Objects! Think of them as the Munzee version of totems (à la Inception) where the Flat Object is something seemingly ordinary but is near and dear to each staff members’ hearts.

The first Flat Object is brought to you by Dylan, our indispensable Creative Director! If you’ve been a Munzee player for a while now, you’ve most likely met him, or at least heard of him… but for those who haven’t been fortunate enough to get to know the man, or would like a refresher, you can check out his most recent Meet Munzee Munzday post HERE!

Dylan’s Flat Object is a throwback to simpler times, and tube TV tech! Say hello to the Flat DHS, stylized after VHS Tapes from the 80s and 90s. Dylan has a nose for nostalgia, so these tapes (and the badges associated with them) will give you an insight to some of his favorite flicks. Read on to learn more!

Flat DHS Details

The Flat DHS joins the Flats as a virtual type. It is currently available in the Freeze Tag Store HERE!

Capture Radius: 300 feet, blastable

Proximity: 50 feet from other players’ Flats, 150 feet from your own.

Deploy: 19 points

Capture: Split 94 points with a minimum of 19 Points

CapOn: Split 94 points with a minimum of 19 Points

To access the Flat DHS munzee, turn on your “Virtual – Flats” filter or “All Flat Types” filter. For more information on Flats, you can check out our Help Guide article.

Badges

There are badge lines for deploying and capturing the Flat DHS, which, as mentioned above, feature some Munzee-fied versions of Dylan’s favorite movies. You can see the first of each below!

We hope you enjoy collecting Flat DHS tapes and learning a bit more about Dylan in the process!

Munzee on!

Join In The Social DistanZEEing!

The COVID-19 situation may have all of us hunkered down at home, but why not practice social distancing in style? We’re excited to try something new here and have put together the Social DistanZEEing Global Munzee Event! 

You can join this Munzee event from anywhere in the world, but be sure to RSVP on the Munzee Calendar. Over the next couple weeks we’ll be sharing a variety of fun ways to interact, even if we can’t do it in person.

To kick off our Social DistanZEEing fun we’re starting with a FREE Eventzee Photo Scavenger Hunt!

What better way to kick off St. Patrick’s Day than with a Couch Potato Party hosted by the Eventzee team? You can check out all of the details on the Eventzee Blog, but here’s the basics. A total of 50 clues will be released over the next two weeks and you’ll have until March 31st at 10:00 MHQ to submit photos. You can earn a special badge by having one photo approved.

Just download the Eventzee app* and use the code “POTATOPARTY” to access this special hunt. The first 10 clues are all about the colors of the rainbow, and don’t be surprised if there are more colorful surprises later today!

Earn the Couch Potato Badge by having at least one photo approved!

Follow our blog and social channels to find out what’s next for our Social DistanZEEing event! We know being stuck at home can drive you crazy, but we hope to offer some fun options at home and in the real world depending on your situation. As always play your way and please use your best judgement when playing any of our games.

We look forward to fighting the cabin fever with you all!

Munzee on!

Awesome Aussie Animals Continue the Fundraising!

In our effort to raise funds for Australia Relief, we announced the creation of 3 new virtual gardens earlier in the week. The gardens sold out much faster than we had expected, which shows how ready and willing our community is to contribute to this cause! For those who were unable to purchase garden pins, we are proud to announce another opportunity for you with a new offering!

These ALL NEW Temporary Player Owned Bouncers (POBs) are adorable Aussie Animals and they’re on sale NOW in the Freeze Tag Online Store! A portion of the proceeds from this sale will also be added to our Australia Relief donation, so thank you all for supporting this great cause!

Like Pouch Creatures, Aussie Animals are based on items from our sister app, WallaBee, and represent a new era of munzees to enjoy! Temporary POBs work much like regular POBs, but they’re only on the map for a limited amount of time.  There are two types of Aussie Animals, the Kangaroo and Koala, and since these munzees won’t be around forever they have a smaller purchase price of $5 each. You can also purchase up to 5 of each animal per player account!

Aussie Animals

Aussie Animals are temporary POBs that bounce to both physical and virtual munzees. They will stay on the map until 23:59 MHQ on April 30, when they will be automatically archived on your account. If you’ve ever deployed a Butterfly or Frog Evolution munzee, these will behave similarly with a few exceptions.

  • Deploy: 126 points
  • Capture: 261 points
  • CapOn: 126 points

You can find these cute creatures bouncing to the following landing pads every 12 hours or when captured:

  • Greenies
  • Safari Bus Evolution Munzees- All Levels
    • Safari Truck (V)
    • Safari Van (V)
    • Safari Bus (V)
  • King Of The Jungle Evolution Munzees- All Levels
    • Lion Cub
    • Lion
    • King Of The Jungle
  • Water Mystery Munzees
  • Aquamarine Jewel Munzees
  • Wildlife Places Munzees (V)
  • White Virtual Munzees (V)
  • Virtual Blue tones (V)
    • VIRTUAL BLUE VIOLET MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL INDIGO MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL BLUE MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL CADET BLUE MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL PERIWINKLE MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL CORNFLOWER MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL BLUE GREEN MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL PACIFIC BLUE MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL CERULEAN MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL ROBIN EGG BLUE MUNZEES
    • VIRTUAL TURQUOISE BLUE MUNZEES
  • TREEHOUSE

Aussie Animals will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a Kangaroo and Koala on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same Aussie Animal visits you. However, Aussie Animals will be non-blastable. They will be attracted to Physical Magnets on Greenies and Virtual Magnets on White and Blue-toned Virtual Munzees. You can access Aussie Animals under the “Only Expiring Specials” filter.

Badges

All players who purchase a Kangaroo Aussie Animal or a Koala Aussie Animal will receive the respective deploy badge shown below:

Additionally, there will be three badges to earn based on number of captures of Aussie Animals specials. But just how many captures it takes to earn all 3 badges will be kept a secret! However, we will reveal the first badge in the line, which appears as follows:

Jumping Joeys – Capture 1 Aussie Animal Munzee of any type.

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

Munzee on!
