New Feature to Change Your Username!

Hey, everyone! A much requested, and long awaited, feature has just been added to Munzee. We’re so excited to tell you about it!

We know for a long time, some players have requested the ability to be able to change their username. We’ve finally been able to setup a way to make this possible and make sure it correctly updates all your Munzees, account data, etc.
All Munzees you have previously deployed will be converted. All Munzees in your undeployed list will be converted. You lose NOTHING!

This feature will cost 1000 Zeds per use.

How do you do this, you may ask? Visit the Munzee website and the feature to Change Username will be under Settings.

 

Then, simply scroll down to Change Username, and voila!

Some important things to note:

  • After changing usernames you will need to logout and log back in on the website AND the mobile app across all devices

  • Usernames are case sensitive, so be extra careful when typing new usernames
  • After you change your username, you may change your username to one of your own previously set usernames if you have name change regret
  • There are no limits on how many times you can change your username
  • Only a-z, A-Z, or 0-9 are allowed as characters in a username (no spaces or special characters)
  • No refund on name changes – the details are tracked in your credits history

We hope you’re as pumped as we are about this new change and that you’re granted the username of your dreams!

Munzee On!

Explosive News!

Y’all, this is HUGE! We are SO excited to announce an update that is going to CHANGE the way that you BLAST Munzees! Check out the live announcement video from Rob on our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/munzeeinfo/videos/225537449887243

The masterminds over here on Team Munzee have been brainstorming ways that we can improve the performance of Blast Captures and we’re excited to announce….we’ve finally done it! Players can now set off Blasts without having to wait until the previous one finishes! That means more Blasts in less time! No more ignoring your friends while you watch the screen, waiting to blast again at events!

This will also make Boosters much more efficient! No more getting stuck when trying to set off more blasts! With the ability to quickly blast one after another, you should have ample time to queue up plenty of Blasts while a Booster is active. NOTE – While blasts can be queued up quicker, please keep in mind that the boosters must still be active when each individual Munzee is processed and captured in order for any bonuses to apply. The more Munzees blasted at once, the more time it will take to capture each one. To keep things processing quickly, we recommend setting off smaller chunks of Blasts at a time. For example, 4 mini blasts should process faster than 2 regular blasts even though both are 200 total munzees.

While blasting you’ll also notice that the pins will update MUCH quicker than before to either show as captured or disappear from the map!

It’s almost the weekend which means it’s the perfect time to try out some Blasts! Shop Blast Captures in the FT Online Store HERE so you’re all stocked up for optimal testing!

So make like a bomb, and blast off with this new update!

Munzee on!

We’re Off To See the Wizard With Our NEW Mailbox!

Skip down the yellow brick road with an ALL NEW Wonderful Wizard Mailbox Munzee inspired by the classic film, The Wizard of Oz! The Wonderful Wizard Mailbox is available to purchase NOW and features 15 days of caps and prizes, bonus gifts, a T0T0 Mech, and more! If you were a fan of the Merry Miser Mailbox you’ll LOVE what we have in store for you! You’re able to purchase starting NOW in the Freeze Tag Online Store!

Skip down the yellow brick road and see 15 days of caps and prizes, bonus gifts, a T0T0 Mech, and more! Like the UBCCC, Mailbox owners will receive virtual items only.

Mail Call!

You’ll need a Wonderful Wizard Mailbox Munzee to receive your goodies!

Wonderful Wizard Mailbox
Points
  • Deploy: 100
  • Capture: 10

When you deploy this new game piece nearby it will only be visible to AND cappable by you. IT MUST BE DEPLOYED IN APP! To ensure that you are able to capture this new game piece each day, you’ll also be able to update its location if you’ll be traveling at any point during the mailbox period. You can only move the mailbox in app and do NOT need to undeploy first. We really don’t want you to miss out! It is very important you capture it each day.

The mailbox can be captured up to 1000 feet away and is found under the Virtuals filter but ONLY visible to the OWNER. It will be archived after it is March 18. (Clarification: Mailbox was supposed to archive after 15 days of prizes ON March 18th, with 2 extra bonus days of double points over the weekend for mailbox owners. Apologies for the confusion!)

How the Wonderful Wizard Mailbox Works

Starting March 3rd at 00:01 MHQ, each day you cap your Wonderful Wizard Mailbox you will be awarded a different Wizard of Oz-themed Greeting Card capture, similar to the UBCCC. Please note that you’ll only be able to earn that specific card on that day, so you really don’t want to miss a day. Once you cap that card you’ll earn points, and you may also get some extra prizes!

If you’re interested, you can purchase it in the FT Store! You will still be able to purchase these Club Memberships after it begins, but you won’t be able to earn rewards from the days that have passed. We suggest purchasing your Club Membership as soon as possible to start learning the mysteries of the mailbox!

  • 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? You’ll also get some special bonuses scattered throughout the mailbox period, which could be double points days, exclusive specials or scatters to cap, credits or undeployed munzees, etc. Lastly, you’ll also get a NEW T0T0 Mech!

T0T0 Mech Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the T0T0 is a temporary POB. The T0T0 will remain on the map until it has been captured 5 times, as you can see below. You will receive a fully-built T0T0 that will auto-deploy on 00:01 MHQ on March 3rd. You will also receive the Blueprint to rebuild it when you have earned enough Cogs in the future.

T0T0
Points
  • Deploy: 500
  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 100-150
  • Basket Case (Crushed) Capture: 500
  • Basket Case (Crushed) CapOn: 150-250
Landing Pads

You can find these scrappy cyborgs barking at the landing pads above every 6 hours or when captured.

T0To will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture a T0T0 on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same T0T0 visits you. T0T0 is non-blastable. It will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access it by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When a T0T0 is captured, it will scatter up to 3 Ruby Scripters.

Ruby Scripters
Points
  • Capture: 50
  • CapOn: 10-25

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

Badges

There are 4 badge lines associated with this launch:

  • Wonderful Wizard deploy badge — deploying a Wonderful Wizard Mailbox will earn you a special badge that you can see below.
  • Wonderful Wizard Mailbox Card capture badges — capture at least 1 of each unique Wonderful Wizard Mailbox card! We’ll keep what these look like a secret for now.
  • T0T0 deploy badge — deploying a T0T0 mech will earn you the corresponding Blueprint badge that you can also see below
  • T0T0 capture badge — capturing a T0T0 mech will earn you the corresponding badge. We’ll keep what it looks like a secret for now.

 

 

Four Exclusive New Charms!

The fun doesn’t stop there! Four new charms will join the set as part of the new Wonderful Wizard Mailbox. These new charms will also scatter from Charm Cases and Charm Boxes, but they are exclusive to players who purchased this mailbox! The charms feature some classics from The Wizard of Oz such as: ruby slippers, a tin heart, and more!

These wickedly awesome charms are exclusive to those who own the the Wonderful Wizard Mailbox – so don’t miss out!

 

 

We invite you to join us in celebrating this classic story with 15 days of magical surprises! Are you ready to join the Club?

Munzee on!

An Update Regarding MEGA Blasts

Ever since we introduced the Mini and MEGA Blast Captures via the In-App Store, we’ve been monitoring their processing times and also how they affect the overall app’s performance. Over the years we’ve made various code changes in the hopes of improving things, but after our recent tests, we’ve decided it’s time to retire the MEGA Blast.

As you can see in the first screenshot below, we’ll be removing the MEGA Blast from the selection screen and will also remove it from the In-App Store. Since 1 MEGA Blast could capture up to 500 virtual munzees, while regular Blasts can capture up to 100 virtual munzees, if you have any MEGA Blasts in your inventory, we will be converting them to regular Blasts at the exchange rate of 1 MEGA Blast = 5 regular Blasts.

Another change shown in the screenshots above is that we’ll also lower the max number of Mini Blasts and regular Blasts you can fire at once. You will only be able to fire 4 Mini Blasts or 3 regular Blasts at a time (200 – 300 virtual munzee captures). We’re making this change for the same reason as removing the MEGA Blast — to improve the app’s performance and reduce processing times.

While we understand that the convenience of setting off a larger number of Blast Captures will be missed, we believe that this change will provide a better experience in the long run — instead of wondering when your blasts will complete, they should finish within just a few minutes once this update is out. In addition, you’ll be able to set off more blasts much sooner, which is especially good if you have to move to another location. No more feeling like your phone is locked up by in-process blasts!

Munzee on!

Secret ZeeOps- Operation: Swatch Out! (January 2023)

All caught up with Secret ZeeOps and looking for more? Here’s a new one available in the ZeeOps Hub for the usual cost of 1,500 Zeds. For now, it will be available for purchase until 23:59 MHQ on February 28. If you’ve purchased a Secret ZeeOp, you will be able to complete it and collect rewards even after it is no longer available for purchase.

While the year started off quietly, it seems we’ve just gotten the most bizarre case yet. The town of Flatville has got a vandal on the loose, which ordinarily wouldn’t raise much alarm — but the unique monochrome aesthetic of the town has been ruined, and the clean-up will cost millions. If you complete ALL the missions in Operation: Swatch Out!, you’ll receive the snazzy badge below, along with the FREDDi Fr0g Mech (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.

NEW Mech Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, FREDDi Fr0g is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 15 times.

FREDDi Fr0g
Points
  • Deploy: 350
  • Capture: 230-330
  • CapOn: 100-200
  • Outline (15th Cap): 500
Landing Pads

You can find this artistic amphibian tagging the landing pads above every 6 hours or when captured.

FREDDi Fr0g will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture FREDDi Fr0g on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same FREDDi Fr0g visits you. FREDDi Fr0g is non-blastable. He will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access FREDDi Fr0g by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When FREDDi Fr0g is captured, it will scatter up to 3 BLOTerflies.

BLOTerfly
Points
  • Capture: 30-50
  • CapOn: 5-30

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

Badges

As with other Munzee Mechz, the badge for deploying FREDDi Fr0g depicts the Blueprints, and is shown below:

There is also a badge for capturing FREDDi Fr0g. Since there’s only one badge in this line, we’ll keep it a secret for now.

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

Merry Miser Mailbox Guide

As with the past Card Collector Clubs/Mailboxes, we’ll post each day at 00:00 MHQ on our social media channels (FB | TWTR | IG) whenever we’ve got something special waiting for you in your Merry Miser Mailbox. We’ll also keep this blog post updated as well!

Merry Miser Mailbox Greeting Cards

Special Bonus Days

Don’t forget the Schedules we had posted in advance! The events mentioned there will be listed below as the rest of the month unfolds.

Munzee on!

Merry Miser Mailbox Schedules

UPDATE: We had made some changes to how the ghost scatters work — originally, the Ghosts of Munzees Past were going to scatter from the mailbox directly. Later on, we decided to add the Ghost of Christmas Past as the main mailbox scatter, and then the Ghosts of Munzees Past scatter from it. Due to this change, it is now the Ghosts of Christmas Past that remain on the map for 120 hours, and as the 2nd-tier scatter, the Ghosts of Munzees Past only remain on the map for 2 hours. Moving forward, this is how you can expect the scatters to behave.

One especially good thing we learned from Sir Prize Santa is that knowing when the Double Point Weekends and Special Themed Scatter Events are is most helpful in deciding whether or not the mailbox is right for you. So, without further ado, here are the schedules for the Merry Miser Mailbox!

Double Point Weekends (DPWs)

Week Dates Double Points ON
2 Friday, December 9 at 00:01 MHQ to Sunday, December 11 at 23:59 MHQ Mysteries and Elemental Mysteries (scatters not included)
3 Friday, December 16 at 00:01 MHQ to Sunday, December 18 at 23:59 MHQ Virtual Colors
4 Friday, December 23 at 00:01 MHQ to Sunday, December 25 at 23:59 MHQ Flats, RUMs, RUMbots, Reseller Greeting Cards, Reseller Flamingos, Reseller Gnomes, Reseller Evolutions (scatters not included)
5 Thursday, December 29 at 00:01 MHQ to Saturday, December 31 at 23:59 MHQ Greeting Cards

Special Themed Scatter Events

When you cap the Merry Miser Mailbox, up to 12 themed scatters will be deployed nearby. They expire 120 hours after they are deployed, to hopefully give you enough time to capture them all! While we’ll reveal the dates to help you plan, we’ll just reveal what will be scattering for the first event:

Week Dates Special Themed Scatter
3 Sunday, December 11 at 00:01 MHQ to 23:59 MHQ Ghosts of Munzees Past

Ghosts of Christmas Past
3 Friday, December 16 at 00:01 MHQ to 23:59 MHQ ?
4 Wednesday, December 21 at 00:01 MHQ to 23:59 MHQ ?

We hope you’re looking forward to a fun-filled journey! If you haven’t joined the MMCCC yet and would like to do so now, click HERE!

Munzee on!

Secret ZeeOps- Operation: Turkey Trample (November 2022)

All caught up with Secret ZeeOps and looking for more? Here’s a new one available in the ZeeOps Hub for the usual cost of 1,500 Zeds. For now, it will be available for purchase until 23:59 MHQ on December 31. If you’ve purchased a Secret ZeeOp, you will be able to complete it and collect rewards even after it is no longer available for purchase.

This year, our analysts have noticed increasingly aggressive behavior from various avian species. While it could just be a result of harsh weather conditions and poor handling, there have been too many incidents for us to just brush it aside. If you complete ALL the missions in Operation: Turkey Trample, you’ll receive the snazzy badge below, along with the TurKEY Mech (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.

NEW Mech Details

Like the other Munzee Mechz, the TurKEY is a temporary POB that will remain on the map until it has been captured 15 times.

TurKEY
Points
  • Deploy: 350
  • Capture: 230-330
  • CapOn: 100-200
  • Strike (15th Cap): 500
Landing Pads

You can find these fierce fowls running to the landing pads above every 6 hours or when captured.

TurKEYs will be available for multi-capture. That means players can capture TurKEYs on their own munzees, any previously captured munzees, and more than once if the same TurKEY visits you. TurKEYs are non-blastable. They will be attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets. You can access TurKEYs by turning on your “All Expiring Specials” filter.

When a TurKEY is captured, it will scatter up to 3 TurKEYrings.

TurKEYring
Points
  • Capture: 30-50
  • CapOn: 5-30

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

An Update to Places Munzees

We heard your feedback on proximity requirements for Places Munzees! Previously, ALL Places had to be at least 1 mile (= 5,280 ft = 1609.34 m) apart from other places of the same type. Meaning, a Faith Place had to be at least 1 mile away from any other Faith Place, and so on. We’ve now reduced that distance for certain Places as follows:

2,000 ft (609.6 m) Radius

2,500 ft (762 m) Radius

In light of this change, if you’d like to stock up on any of these Places, you can do so HERE! We’ve also reset the usual limit on purchasing Places, so if you were maxed out for the month, you don’t have to wait all the way until next month to treat yourself!

Munzee on!
