Update on the Birthday Present Special

Sadly, this is the last weekend of Birthday Month. While we hate to watch the celebration come to an end, we know there are bigger and better things to come. In full Munzee spirit, though, we’ve decided to go all out this weekend. If you weren’t aware, we started a Double Point Weekend this morning at 00:01 MHQ time. Of course, that’s not all.

For the remainder of Birthday Month, we’ve also updated the Birthday Specials. We’ve made two big changes to them:

Scatter Radius: While a 5 mile scatter radius was representative of our 5th birthday, it isn’t necessarily ideal for all players. Now, instead of scattering within 5 miles, the Birthday Icons will scatter within 1 mile.
Credit Percentage: There are quite a few items you can earn from the Birthday Icons. We’ve changed up the algorithm to increase the chances of getting Diamond and Ruby credits when you capture the Birthday Icon.

So get out there and help us end Birthday Month with a bang! Have fun, and Munzee on!

Munzee’s 5th Birthday Specials

Here at Munzee, we really like celebrating. If you’ve been playing for a while, you know we REALLY like celebrating our birthday. This year is no different.

Special

Between 00:01 MHQ Time on July 1st through 23:59 MHQ Time in July 31st, there will be 2016 bouncing Birthday Icons on the map. They will move every six hours or when capped.

When captured, this icon will scatter 5 Present Pins on greenies within 5 miles. These Pins will be available until capped or for 2 hours.

The player who captures the Birthday Icon will earn 25 points, and the owner of the host Munzee will earn 15 points.

The Present Pins are a little more of a surprise. For capturing one of these pins, you will earn EITHER:

Points (15,25,35,45, or 55)
10 Points AND a Credit Item (Diamond, Ruby, Scatter, RPS, or Blast Cap)

You will also earn the 5th Birthday Badge for the capture of at least 1 Birthday Icon.

Flat Robs

You may have noticed that Flat Rob was a bit more festive on the map when he appeared last night. Well he’s going to be that way for a while. Flat Robs will be on the map through 23:59 on July 31st to help celebrate Birthday Month! (The festive variation of Flat Rob DOES NOT count as a new icon.)

Prizes and Giveaways

Keep an eye on our social media pages for giveaways, specials, and sales throughout the month. You never know what we might do. 😉

We hope you enjoy Birthday Month. We know we will!

Munzee On

Birthday Parties Update

It’s hard to believe that it is already June! We’re gearing up for our Birthday Month, and Louise has been extremely busy working with event hosts. We’ve got 56 Birthday Parties planned worldwide during the month of July, so you have plenty to choose from if you want to attend one. You’ve still got time to get one on the calendar if you want to host your own, too. If you want more information, please email louise@munzee.com, and she can get you sorted out!

Trish has been working on some amazing artwork for individual events, and the Attendee and Host badges are looking great. Louise can’t wait to show them off to everyone. However, great artwork takes time. We will be implementing a cut-off date for custom artwork. All fully customized artwork requests must be submitted by this Friday, June 10th. After that, only generic badges will be offered. Don’t miss out!

Thank you everyone for your support and for growing the map! Munzee on!

Birthday Surprise From Eventzee!

It’s always fun to celebrate your birthday with family. This year, Munzee is lucky enough to be able to do that. Our sibling app, Eventzee, has surprised us and our players. Instead of their usual Weekend Warriors Photo Hunt, they’ll be hosting a Munzee Birthday-themed photo hunt. Not only will participants have the opportunity to win Munzee prize packs for placing first, second, or third in the hunt, they’ll also be able to earn a prize pack for having the most pictures submitted to the photo gallery. All participants will also earn the Birthday Badge from Eventzee.

For more information about the hunt and it’s prizes, check out Eventzee’s blog post and get ready! Also, keep an eye out for more birthday surprises during the month.

4th Birthday Month Specials

The time to celebrate Munzee’s birthday has come again! As we mark our 4th birthday, we want to reward our players for all of their support in helping this game grow and become so much more than we thought it could be when we started. If you thought #FiestaThree was big, we can’t wait for you to see what we’ve got planned. Also, keep in mind that we like to celebrate on relevant numbered days, so watch out for days with 4 in them. Now on to the details.

What’s a birthday party without cake? Starting tomorrow, there will be 444 birthday cakes on the map at any time. They can be seen at www.munzee.com/birthday during the month. These cakes will only land on greenies not in maintenance mode (if a Munzee goes into maintenance mode while a cake is on it, it will bounce to another Munzee), and bounce every 12 hours.

Each cake starts with 4 candles. After each cap, it will lose a candle. After the 4th cap, the cake is gone and another will show up somewhere else. Capture points will be 100, 50, 25, and 20 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cap, respectively. Cap on points will be 4 points each, i.e. 16 total if all are capped. Regardless of capture number, the special icon will be the full cake.

After the first capture of a cake, 4 “pieces of cake” will explode within 44444 feet. Each will provide a special capture and icon. Capture points are 44 and cap on points are 4.

We couldn’t just stop there. July 4th will be a 4x day on greenies and regular/colored virtuals ONLY (not MVM or anything other than regular greenies). This 4x day will include capture, deploy, and cap on points. This will be in effect from 00:01-23:59 MHQ on July 4th.

We’ll have more information about other events throughout the month, so make sure to keep an eye out on the blog and other social media!

REMINDER: Munzee Worldwide Birthday Events

With Munzee’s 4th Birthday just a few weeks away we have so much exciting news on the horizon. Our monthlong celebration of all things Munzee kicks off the first weekend of July with worldwide Birthday parties hosted by you, our players. From July 1-5 we have asked that our international community join us in celebration of four years of Munzeeing by hosting their own Munzee events.

Over the past month we’ve had lots of interest in hosting these worldwide events, due in large part to the promise of a special Birthday event badge. We would like to remind everyone that in order to get this special badge at your event there must be at least ten people who participate in the event and it must be scheduled on the official Munzee calendar. Just visit http://calendar.munzee.com/ to submit your event and be sure to follow along on social media for more Birthday announcements.

These events are also an opportunity for our various clans, groups, and communities to create custom badges and icons for the players in attendance. As stated earlier we have had a lot of events scheduled, many of which have had custom badges and icons created for their events. If you’re interested in hosting an event with custom icons/badges there is a 28 day advance notice required. So if you want special icons/badges for your Munzee Birthday Event you must have that submitted to the Munzee Event Team by June 3rd at 5pm MHQ time or there will be a surcharge.

Events are a perfect way to grow the game in your area, so be sure to spread word through all available avenues.
