Seemyshell (00:01.456)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.
Rob (00:03.598)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.
Seemyshell (00:07.504)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell, I'm an avid Munzee player and I'm here to explore the game further.
Rob (00:12.846)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, divulge some secrets, and inform players from around the world just what is coming your way.
Seemyshell (00:20.112)
So sit back, relax as today's episode pretty much we discuss all the recent changes that have been made. Rob, you're going to explain a few things hopefully and put a few people's minds at ease, including mine to a certain degree as well, mate. How are you going?
Rob (00:36.064)
So I've been told, so I've been told. Now I think that this is a good platform for me to be able to kind of express some of the things that we feel and our direction, I guess, for Munzee. So please, everyone, stick around. I'm going to lay out sort of the roadmap of where we're headed over the next couple of months and why we've done what we've done recently.
Seemyshell (00:54.616)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (01:00.908)
Wow, we may get some secrets here guys right on this show. So make sure you stick around for the entire show tonight, today or tonight, whenever you're listening to it. And we may get some secrets from Rob. We'll see how he goes. Remember, remember if Rob starts to talk slow, really listen, just saying. So Rob, what have you been up to this week, mate, before we start? Let's start on a high. What have you been doing? You still state science?
Rob (01:17.102)
Yeah.
Rob (01:22.094)
Yeah, I am. I'm still in Florida. So soaking up some sunshine, things are feeling good on the skin. I actually got out Lou went on a long bike ride this past weekend. And while she was out, I played Munzee for four hours. She was on a nice long ride. Yeah, man, I haven't actually gone out playing the physical game.
Seemyshell (01:25.68)
Mm -hmm. Yep.
Nice.
Mm -hmm. Yeah.
Seemyshell (01:39.05)
Wow.
Seemyshell (01:46.414)
Mmm.
Rob (01:47.15)
Got a bunch of golden carrots, which reminded me to deploy my golden carrots. So I have done that for this clan more. Hey, yeah, something new, something new. But yeah, otherwise I've been watching and commenting and playing Munzee in between. Yeah. So how about you? How are things going for you?
Seemyshell (01:52.368)
Very good, very good. Yeah.
Seemyshell (02:04.144)
Yeah, exactly. Mate, I'm still on the road, still traveling, still recording this from my little podcast setup inside my car. So yeah, I think I've got it quite set up well now. I'm happy with this, even though there's there's blankets over my head and whatever else as well. But anyway, that's what I've been doing. But I've been traveling from Alabama to Mississippi now. Am I? SSI, SSI, P P B I.
Rob (02:22.798)
You
Seemyshell (02:31.92)
I get told, you know, you're Australian, you shouldn't know that song, but anyway, but I will say this, Rob, and I don't have this in the show notes. And that is I've been doing this obviously along the freeways, et cetera, as well here or interstates, you call them. And you know, if people are following me physically, they're going to pick up a few rooms in the destinations, just saying. But Rob, here's a random question for you straight out of the bat. A lot of the, a lot of the destinations along these highway routes now are level fives and there's no room left.
Rob (02:35.566)
That's true.
Seemyshell (03:00.432)
Is there any way chance that we're going to increase the actual levels of destinations? Yeah.
Rob (03:06.286)
Oh, that's an interesting question. You should send that in to yourself and ask it in a future week as the question of the week. That gives me time to prepare an actual answer.
Seemyshell (03:14.216)
Fair that one's coming up guys in the next episode so make sure you follow along so yes anyway Rob we're gonna get a start because we've got so many questions for you from the last two weeks I'm gonna say the last two weeks since all the stuff has ever happened in the meantime though the week that was Rob we had some events in California, Florida, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota in Canada we had
Rob (03:21.646)
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Rob (03:38.51)
We had in Ontario and then we go across the pond over to UK. We've got them this past weekend in UK, Lithuania, Finland, Hungary, Netherlands, two in Denmark and the two that were in Australia, ACT and Victoria. So it was a busy weekend. Yeah.
Seemyshell (03:59.512)
And the leaderboards. Yeah, very busy weekend, which is really cool. Although Netherlands, I think, 41, poor things, they missed out by nine.
Rob (04:06.67)
Yeah. Yeah, they're, they're actually, there were a couple of events that went mega. And so I'm not sure if I updated all the numbers properly here. Yeah. It would. Yeah. Yeah. But I think that the, uh, I think, I think the places are correct. I'm not sure the numbers are because I believe that England, Hungary and Netherlands, all three made it to, uh, mega this last weekend.
Seemyshell (04:12.432)
Hmm. Oh, okay. No, I don't think we did. I don't think we did. I just looked at that when we were reading it out. So.
Seemyshell (04:26.03)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (04:36.238)
I believe that's correct.
Seemyshell (04:40.432)
Oh, fair enough. There you go. There you go. All right, Rob, let's get to the leaderboards then on Friday. We had Disney girl on 632 ,000 boy boy or boy boo at 523 ,000 and Dolan's at 454 ,000. They're names we don't normally read out, which is really nice to see as well. Yeah. Yeah, I like it. I like it.
Rob (04:50.926)
Yeah.
Rob (04:58.862)
I know I thought that too. I was looking at it and like, Hey, these are new. Very cool. Uh, Saturday we had what's over there. Just over 1 million points. Well done. Uh, odd minor at 773 ,000 and Brazil yet at 758 ,000.
Seemyshell (05:09.358)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (05:15.216)
Now Rob, I did see someone come in 10th on the Saturday. GCV Josh came in 10th with 577 ,000. Now I wasn't gonna mention him at all because you know what? It puts him further ahead of me again now. So all of a sudden he's got a fire under his butt every time now since I passed him, now he's passed me back. So it's a good, healthy, it's a good healthy.
Rob (05:20.078)
Hmm.
Rob (05:28.046)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (05:38.094)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (05:40.624)
healthy relationship we have. But anyway, on Sunday we had Regal at 792 ,000, Bado at 644 ,000 and Vony at 641 ,000. Again, Rob, new names or some of them anyway. Yeah, really good to see. Good to see. We've got a few events, quite a few events coming up this weekend, Rob, for Double de Merit. I say that all the time, Double Points Weekend. We have Pennsylvania, two in California, South Carolina, Alabama.
Rob (05:53.518)
Yeah, some of them do. Really good. Yeah.
Rob (06:03.246)
Yep.
Seemyshell (06:10.448)
and uh in Missouri.
Rob (06:12.238)
Yes, we do. And out there in the world, we've got two in Canada, Ontario and Surrey. We've got one in Austria, Austria, that was close, the Netherlands and then three in Germany. Those are in Delbruck, Bonn and Berlin.
Seemyshell (06:13.678)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (06:22.318)
Hahaha.
Seemyshell (06:27.536)
There we go. And of course, as I said before, Double Points Weekend every weekend this month, but this weekend is on cards, temps, verts. We have flats, greenies, and mysteries as well.
Rob (06:39.638)
Correct. As we have been, let's talk about some of those large events that are coming up after this month. And the first one is the one that we continue to chat because we're going to be there. Yeah, so March 8th and 9th, we're going to be in Southern California, Buena Vista, and that is near Knott's Berry Farm. So theme park there, not too far from Disneyland as well.
Seemyshell (06:40.878)
Mmm.
Seemyshell (06:51.49)
Yeah, we'll be there.
Seemyshell (06:57.688)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (07:02.99)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (07:05.11)
At this point there's over 40 attendees. So we're looking good toward that mega goal Mari Tamra and Craig from our freeze tag office there in California will be joining us as well. So lots of badges Come enjoy the nice Southern California weather
Seemyshell (07:10.478)
Oh yeah.
Seemyshell (07:23.312)
Yes, yes, yes, definitely. Darts Farm in England on March 9th, so 30 there so far. We have ACT Australia March 30th as well. Again, guys, there's more Australian players than what have put their Will -O -Tens in, so make sure you put your Will -O -Tens in if you're in Australia listening on, and I'll be reaching out to a few of my friends there saying, what are you doing? Get your numbers in. But anyway, in Nottingham, England on April 6th, we have 35 so far, and Minneapolis on May 10th, and, 10th, 2, 12th, sorry.
Rob (07:42.626)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (07:50.928)
is Munzey Mania and we will both be there Rob. So looking forward to that one as well.
Rob (07:55.054)
Yes, we will. We need people to get their Will -It -Tends in on that one. I'm surprised that it's actually as low as it is. So yeah, let's get it. I think the people are frozen. So once their fingers thaw out, they'll put that Will -It -Tend.
Seemyshell (08:00.144)
Yes, I know already already.
Seemyshell (08:07.67)
Correct, correct. I mean, there was plenty attending there last weekend and I've always wanted to do a Minneapolis event, Rob, because I see so much fun that they have that Munzee, Whelan's YouTube channel, Munzee Events, he did the video on it too from the weekend and it's great to see, it's great to see. I don't know why, Rob.
Rob (08:22.862)
Yeah. Yeah.
Rob (08:29.314)
Yeah, if they don't just get together, they play, they have little games and that kind of stuff. It's actually really cool. Yeah.
Seemyshell (08:33.168)
Yeah, it's really, really cool. I mean, I can see why though, he didn't put his face on the thumbnail of the YouTube channel. No, no, no, he puts Josh and some other, you know, attractive young lady as little tags for his thumb. So I like that, I like that. So don't forget guys, if you're a host of a growing event and we haven't noticed you yet, reach out to me and message me on any of your social medias. Rob, let's get into it, mate. We're...
Rob (08:42.894)
Thank you.
Rob (08:47.726)
Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (09:02.562)
nine minutes in, so it gives us plenty of time, which is good. Firstly, the Munzee Monthly Moments for this month, we need more entries. There's only nine so far, including me. So I've got a chance to win something this month as well, which is cool. This month, if you don't know, it's all about romance because, you know, as we're recording this, it's actually Happy Valentine's Day, Rob. I forgot. Today's, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I won't ask you to be my valentine because I know Lou's already done that, I dare say, but anyway. Exactly, exactly. So.
Rob (09:05.198)
Yeah.
Rob (09:22.19)
Oh yes, Happy Valentine's Day to you as well.
Yeah, I'm already taken, sorry.
Seemyshell (09:32.208)
It's all about romantic locations. You need to film a physical or virtual cap as you go at a romantic location. And you know what, if it's romantic to you and it's not, you know, out there, just explain that to us. Let us know why is it romantic to you? Rob, we've had a couple recently ones, which are pretty, pretty cool too. So make sure you go over to the Munzee YouTube channel and check out that video itself and go from there. So yeah, Munzee monthly moments, Rob. I'm waiting for yours too, by the way, just saying.
Rob (10:00.238)
Oh, I know, I need to get back on that. And I have been thinking about what that would look like. I just haven't quite recorded it yet. Yeah.
Seemyshell (10:03.532)
I'm
Seemyshell (10:09.262)
Mm -hmm.
I mean, I can't say too much because you did do me proud by actually, you know, deploying a golden carrot this week. So, so that's, that's one thing.
Rob (10:17.55)
Yeah. And, and I did a little, I did a little video as well. I'll put that out on Instagram, both on the Munzee account and my own and, and out there on Tik Tok, you know, so we're putting some content out. Scary. Yeah.
Seemyshell (10:22.064)
Ah, there you go.
Yes you did. Yes you did. Look at you. Look at you content. What else is happening Robert before we get into the questions for you.
Rob (10:35.062)
Yeah, so quickly let's talk about the other new thing that has come out this week, which is the fortune folder. So the fortune folder there. This is like something that we played with back in elementary school. So as kids it was a little, you know, you put your fingers in it and it folds. It's it's one of those things. And so you open it up and you ask a question basically and it's like you choose four and so then 1234.
Seemyshell (10:38.542)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (10:43.632)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (10:51.886)
Mm -hmm.
Oh yes! Yeah.
Rob (11:03.726)
It changes directions and then you pick another and it gives you a fortune. So in some places they're called like cootie catchers or all kinds of things, fortune tellers. So because we already had rat laws, the fortune teller, we decided that we, we, we couldn't call this one a fortune teller. So this is a fortune folder. Yeah. So it's, it's similar to the dice tower in that it gives out prizes. So this time it's, it's eight lucky prizes.
Seemyshell (11:04.568)
Yep.
Seemyshell (11:08.304)
I know that one.
No.
Seemyshell (11:17.328)
Yes.
Seemyshell (11:22.896)
for chin folder, because you're folding it up.
Mm -hmm.
Rob (11:31.758)
You have to capture it eight days in a row. And when you cap it, then it gives you, it gives you a reward of some sort. So yeah, check it out. You can, this is one of those things that you can buy now and use whenever you would like to. So these are popular because you can update the location daily. So for example, if you're on a cruise, let's say this is that one that you can put out in the middle of the sea.
Seemyshell (11:32.046)
Mm -hmm. Yep, yep.
Seemyshell (11:41.186)
Right.
Seemyshell (11:47.214)
Mm -hmm. Whenever. Nice.
Seemyshell (11:54.222)
Mm -hmm.
Hehehehehe
Rob (12:01.262)
you can cap it because it's got a nice large capture radius and keep it moving. And so those are available in the online store.
Seemyshell (12:01.55)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (12:05.616)
Yep.
Seemyshell (12:10.736)
There you go. Just one quick question in regards to that then, Rob, and this will be the question asked as well. The actual rewards themselves, are they all random or do they end up being all the same thing, like all eight things, items are the same?
Rob (12:22.862)
Um, they are different items. They are the same item for all people. Um, but it is, you know, everyone's getting a different fortune based on the, the, the, the way that there's pulls and opens and that kind of stuff. Yeah. The, the, the graphics attached to it are pretty sweet too. So.
Seemyshell (12:29.904)
Right. Yes. On a different day.
Right. Yep. Yep. Perfect. Perfect.
So ultimately, ultimately we all get the same stuff guys as long as you do it eight days in a row. Very good, very good. Now Rob, we had some cake issues on the weekend.
Rob (12:48.27)
Yep.
Rob (12:53.038)
We did let's talk about the nice side of the cake first the nice side of the cake that isn't moldy and falling apart is that we have put the information out for everyone so that you understand how to earn the cake and the amount of cake that you should expect. So the only way to get cake and these are the credits that you can use in the redeem store case you don't know what we're talking about. It is through event attendance only so you can capture.
Seemyshell (12:56.048)
Yes. Yes.
Seemyshell (13:03.118)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (13:06.96)
Hmm.
Seemyshell (13:15.918)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
Rob (13:23.406)
The event indicator pin that pink pin that's on the map that gives you I believe 10 if you if the host has has purchased a special badge or if it's a special special monthly package then that badge is going to give 50 so it doesn't happen with just the normal basic events that doesn't happen but it does with the special ones.
Seemyshell (13:26.83)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (13:38.51)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (13:42.096)
Oh nice. No more badge. Nope.
Rob (13:48.622)
And then every event pin, every physical event pin that you capture, you also get one cake from that. So the hosts have the ability to deploy up to 50 event pins. So maybe this is going to encourage hosts to deploy more, which are the physicals. So while you're out walking, there are a lot of hosts who are very wise. They deploy these physical event pins near.
Seemyshell (13:48.784)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (13:59.6)
Oh wow. Wow.
Seemyshell (14:04.304)
to pull, yeah. Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (14:14.254)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (14:14.766)
Other Munzees that have already been deployed. So you're kind of as you're walking, able to get multiple. Yeah. Not bad. So, and then the best part for the host, because they're the ones who put the money in, but they also put in the effort. They receive cake based on the number of caps that are on that pink pin. Yeah.
Seemyshell (14:19.6)
You get two for one. Yes, I like it. I like it. I like it.
Seemyshell (14:27.438)
Mm -hmm. Yep.
So again, it's very much a big incentive for event hosts to put them out as well. Unlike me, Rob, when I first got back into this game and I did an event and I didn't put out any pins at all and I got asked about them. Like, what are you talking about? I literally had it as a, yeah.
Rob (14:37.454)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (14:43.022)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there are some events. Yeah, some events, they put 10 out. And that's great. And that's all they want to go and do. And if it's absolutely freezing outside, nobody wants to go walking for 50. So you choose. And that gives you an amount of cake. Now, the bad part. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's true.
Seemyshell (14:52.912)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (14:59.566)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (15:04.932)
Exactly. Also the size of the park helps as well. So the bigger the park the more you can put out because there is there's no proximity rating on the pins to other Munsies but there is on each other on each of the pins. You can't put all the pins at the one location under the hut. Yeah, yep, yep. I know right. So Rob we have now the moldy cake. What happened Rob last weekend?
Rob (15:17.334)
Right.
Rob (15:20.974)
Yep. Yeah, that is true. You can't do that. You used to be able to and people took advantage. Imagine that.
Rob (15:31.598)
Yeah, so we had a coding issue that actually stemmed from when we switched the greenies over to daily capture, which we're going to talk about in a second. And we just missed something. So people were able to capture the badge more than once. And the good news is that some of the hosts and some of the players started to pass that information along to us. And as soon as we heard about it, we shut those things down.
Seemyshell (15:34.926)
Mm.
Seemyshell (15:39.918)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.
Seemyshell (15:58.478)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (16:01.038)
We also turned the redeem store off because there were some events that unfortunately people took massive advantage of and yeah, they were receiving one garden pin that was being deployed in Emerald and they were receiving 50 cake for each time and some of them this is going to shock you to some of them these players who captured the event badge dozens and or
Seemyshell (16:01.198)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (16:09.872)
You
Rob (16:30.798)
hundred plus times, then might have turned around and actually spent the cake that they had, which, you know, that's over consumption of cake and that's dangerous. And so we, uh, we had to, we had to, we had to deal with some of those things, but everything has been cleaned up. Um, all of the emeralds are back in the pool where they belong. We've locked that down and, um, we're not worried about it happening again. Um, knock on wood. There you go.
Seemyshell (16:36.752)
Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (16:50.288)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (16:57.232)
Obesity is a real thing guys. So just remember obesity is a real thing. You can't have too much at one time. So just say if you are getting fed too much at one time, there's an issue, there's a problem there. So it's not a buffet, it's not a buffet.
Rob (17:01.486)
here.
Rob (17:09.166)
So report that. Right, please report issues. Don't take advantage of them. It doesn't work out for you in the end.
Seemyshell (17:15.056)
All right, Rob, we're halfway through now. We're gonna go straight on now to the different chats. There are three different things I need to talk to you about, Rob. Now, I got all this information from three different locations. One being, obviously, the Munzee water cooler. That's a great location for information, for questions, that sort of thing as well. So, the Munzee water cooler, shout out to you, thanks so much. I've got a few people who've private messaged me as well saying, can you ask Rob this, can you ask Rob that? I'm like, okay, I'll put that all on the pool as well.
Rob (17:41.806)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (17:44.08)
And of course, then I listened to the good old Munzee Maniacs podcast. And if you haven't listened to them as well, get them on your listen too, because they're a great podcast to listen to as well. They do a great job. But a good friend, PJ had a lot of issues with a few of things. And so we're going to address those as well as all the others that came through. So that's where I got my information from Rob. That's where I get my questions from. So here we go. Are you ready? Are you ready?
Rob (18:07.15)
Okay. I am. I read those places as well. So I'm set up with some of my own thoughts as you might imagine.
Seemyshell (18:13.68)
with, you are, you are. All right, this new greenie rule, where you can cap a greenie every day, you know, recap it every day. There's a few things that have come up. Firstly, and foremost, what are they actually, what is this intended for, if you can tell us at the moment? Why has this come about?
Rob (18:32.814)
Yeah, so we have a lot of goals that are in place for this year. And one of them, completely honest, here it is, is to increase the number of daily active users. We love to see people in and playing. In some areas, the number of Munzees that people have to capture is low.
Seemyshell (18:40.592)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (18:47.278)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (18:58.19)
So we saw this as one way for players to be able to kind of get out there and cap every day. Um, yeah. So that, that's a main reason. That's it. Because, you know, I mean, these greenies, they're free. Like they don't, they don't cost anything. People can actually print their own and print them on paper, which is not a good idea. And then use tape and they disappear in a month. And that's a bad idea, but people can do that. Um,
Seemyshell (18:58.488)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (19:05.39)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (19:09.84)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (19:14.16)
Yeah, yeah, yep, yeah.
Seemyshell (19:24.656)
Yeah. Yeah.
Rob (19:27.79)
So, you know, using our stickers, getting them printed on special sticker paper. So yeah, that's the main goal.
Seemyshell (19:32.016)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (19:35.792)
And as you were saying before, they are free and that leads me then to the next thing and some people say that this reduces the need for the POIs now, Rob. What are your thoughts on that?
Rob (19:44.718)
Yeah, well, the POI is run in a different way and they serve a different purpose for us. One, they're virtual, which gives people the opportunity to capture them on the move. They've got a thousand foot radius and the airport has a mile radius. They mark specific locations on the map. So they're helpful indicators. And beyond that, their claim requirements like.
Seemyshell (19:51.438)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Yep.
Seemyshell (20:00.336)
Mm -hmm. A mile, yeah.
Seemyshell (20:07.032)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (20:12.984)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
Rob (20:13.102)
They are a specific claim requirement. I write those. I do not see those going away anytime soon. So the one piece that we have continued to talk about and a lot of that is based on feedback is the points associated with them because now what we have is, you know, you can capture all the greenies and if the points are similar or the same or close, then.
Seemyshell (20:16.034)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (20:20.848)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (20:30.064)
Okay.
Rob (20:38.786)
Greenies now have a 365 day multiplier, just like the POIs do. So what should we do there? The trick for me is there's more effort involved in capping Greenies than there is in capping POIs. But I'd like to say that the value isn't going to go away. We will continue to look at it though. Yeah.
Seemyshell (20:42.904)
Mm -hmm.
Yep.
Seemyshell (20:53.936)
That's right.
Seemyshell (21:00.312)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. There you go. There you go. Very good. One other thing now I will say, and thank you so much for this, and I'm telling you now, PJ is gonna PJ's pants when this comes out, and it's coming out today as we record this podcast, but Munzee headquarters, again, Rob, you've listened to the people, mate. You guys have listened to it, and even though you've released this new information in terms of the Greenies' daily caps, you now turn around and you heard people say,
Rob (21:11.31)
Yeah.
Yeah.
Seemyshell (21:30.466)
I'm gonna call them the OCD people. And that's not in a bad way, but the people who want a clear map. You know what I mean? There are people out there like that who want to clear the map every single day. For those people, there is a new filter, Rob. So what does this, what's this new filter do?
Rob (21:34.67)
Yeah. Yeah.
Rob (21:41.486)
Yeah, there is. It's intended for the geocaching mindset where you want to have everything in your zone captured and cleared out. So we're calling them daily greenies. So you can filter those out in the premium filters. Now, because this is something that's set up as a daily activity booster,
Seemyshell (21:46.926)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (22:04.28)
We don't want that to happen for like new players. We want them to be able to see these greenies every day and that gives them like, oh yeah, I should go and cap those. So yeah, that's it's in the premium filter section. So check it out and you're welcome PJ.
Seemyshell (22:08.28)
Mmm.
Yeah.
Seemyshell (22:18.682)
And all it does guys is it filters out the greenies that you've already capped, not the greenies you haven't. So if a new greenie pops up, that's gonna pop up in your map. But it's just the greenies you've already capped can filter out. And then you can literally a touch of a button and you can turn them all back on if you wanna go for your walk. So there you go. Very good. Yep, exactly right. So on a positive note there, Rob, we did say, and we just said this last week.
Rob (22:28.046)
Yeah.
Rob (22:34.702)
Yeah, if you see any issues send in the support ticket very easy
Seemyshell (22:44.592)
more and more greenies are being kept, which means more and more people are out walking and exercising. And you know, that's so that's the positive note about this.
Rob (22:51.95)
Yeah, and I can't share all of the details and every single number with everyone. I did share the comparison between January and February. And I will tell you that the numbers have stayed exactly the same. Like, well, not exactly the same. There is a massive multiplier that's happened from January into February. What we can also see is the number of player accounts that are.
Seemyshell (23:01.496)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (23:07.664)
But there.
Seemyshell (23:11.408)
Yeah.
Rob (23:17.486)
that are capping those and that number has also multiplied. So we're seeing, we are seeing the results that we were looking for as our primary goal of increasing daily active users.
Seemyshell (23:19.568)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (23:31.792)
Right, right. And one more thing, one more question in regards to this before we move on to the next one, and that is people have asked me as well, are cruisies gonna become extinct now because of this reason, you know, because you can cap them every single day. A cruise is gonna go away now.
Rob (23:45.934)
Well, you see, cruisies rotate through so many different types. And in case everyone missed it, you can only cap the greenies every day, not everything else. I personally don't have plans to move this into every single type. That gets a bit hectic.
Um, so we, uh, we don't plan on cruisies becoming extinct. Um, I also don't see everyone going out and capping every greenie that's out there. Um, there is something called restraint and, uh, it's your personal decision on whether you want to have restraint and, uh, and, and keep a cruisy field nearby or not.
Seemyshell (24:05.582)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (24:12.784)
Hehehehehe
Seemyshell (24:21.39)
Mm -hmm.
Hehehehehe
Seemyshell (24:29.52)
And at the end of the day as well, I thought about this too, after writing the question. And that is that Rob, at the end of the day, you have power over how many cruisies are required for the clan wars on a monthly basis. So if you see that happening, if you see the number of cruisies that are literally diminishing down by a big percent, you can then reduce the amount of cruisies needed for those levels. So just to put people's minds at ease.
Rob (24:42.222)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (24:51.95)
Yeah. So how about an extension on that? Because I was listening to the Muncie Maniacs podcast and they Sarah particularly and directed it specifically at me. Rob, please, this is for you in relation to crates.
Seemyshell (24:56.59)
Mm.
Seemyshell (25:08.528)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (25:09.134)
like please don't make the crates jump up and you know make us cap a million of them or extend this and don't tell us that you're you're using this as a test and then i come up with the average of what people actually did and it's like oh but you got 16 crates this month which means i should push you to 20 next month even though you only had to have six no wait don't worry i'm not going to go completely crazy
Seemyshell (25:12.56)
You
Seemyshell (25:22.)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (25:31.696)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not just yet. No, I'm joking. No, you won't. You won't. You're pretty good at that. All right, moving on because we're only five minutes left, Rob. We're gonna forgo, just to let you know, guys, we're gonna forgo the questions of the week and we're gonna forgo the tip of the week because these are more important, I do believe. So the next topic is logging in on one device. That's the chat we're talking about now. So, you know, there's a few people out there that have got issues with it. Give us a rundown first, Rob, and we'll see if you've answered the questions that are on there.
Rob (25:34.446)
Yeah.
Rob (25:38.926)
Yeah.
Rob (25:46.446)
Yeah.
Rob (25:52.574)
Yeah.
Rob (25:57.934)
Yeah. Yeah. Some, some reasoning for it, I suppose. The reasoning is to catch up with the industry. This is not something that is unusual for all of the other geolocation games. Like you can't walk around and play Pokemon Go or anything by Niantic. And if they're the leaders in the industry, then you know,
Seemyshell (26:03.886)
Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (26:12.08)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (26:21.07)
We actually should get with the times. We did that more than a year ago with the multiple player login. So you couldn't have three people on the same device. I hate for it to be a fact, but people were using that and taking advantage of the system. Unfortunately, the same thing is happening here because people understand and they can come up with what pace they need to go at.
Seemyshell (26:29.806)
Mm -hmm.
That's right.
Seemyshell (26:41.006)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (26:44.72)
Yep.
Rob (26:49.07)
and two people could be logged in on different devices to the same account, be at different ends of a parking lot, work their way toward each other. And so then they are capping a multiplier of what you and I would be able to do. You know, we're walking together. So I know, I know that there are great people out there who use this appropriately. However, we need to have things logged in.
Seemyshell (27:02.798)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (27:13.2)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (27:16.386)
On only one device so apologies to those of you who trained yourself to use two different devices and Feel like it's the only way that you can play. I know that you can relearn Those things you can teach yourself new tricks and you will have to work with only one device because this is the future
Seemyshell (27:23.568)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (27:30.232)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (27:37.904)
Exactly. That's what I thought too. And Rob, you did answer a lot of those questions. There's a few things that people say about munging as a couple. Well, as we said before, we've got to adapt and overcome, you know, and that was answered quite well, I think in the water cooler by a lot of people saying, you know, start up another account, like, and then do the rock, paper, scissors for who takes over the existing account, you know, whether the which partner takes over the existing account, you can do that.
Rob (27:58.702)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (28:03.278)
Another one was that I use my iPad for a larger screen than cap on my phone. Well, my theory in that was, well, why don't you use your iPad as the website? You see, under the webpage rather than the app. If you use the iPad on the webpage, you can have that webpage logged in and then have your phone still logged in as well. So you want to see it on a larger screen.
Rob (28:13.742)
Yeah. Yeah.
Rob (28:24.718)
Scroll ahead, look at where you're going, plan yourself where you want to be. I mean, yeah, yeah, it all works. Honestly, everyone's got the opportunity to do a lot of the things they already were doing. They just have to compact it to one device. Yeah.
Seemyshell (28:28.176)
Yeah, yeah. That's.
Seemyshell (28:36.656)
Yep. Yep. Again, I saw this one, Rob, I have to mention this one because I saw it on, on, on Facebook and I had a bit of a laugh, something about a bike mount on, on face Facebook. It's like really. Yes.
Rob (28:46.91)
Lou uses a bike mount for her her deal and it comes off very easily if she needed to use her GPS for anything else so while I appreciate the effort no I don't think so and you everyone can do it don't worry.
Seemyshell (28:58.03)
Mm -hmm. Yep, clips on, clips off.
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (29:06.926)
Yep.
Exactly. Only one more thing before we move on because we were running at a time really quick. And this, I'm not sure if this has been actually rectified or not. I saw this on the water cooler. Some people are saying that their savings, their setting savings, when they're logging in from one device to another, they lose their settings, the saved settings.
Rob (29:13.772)
Yeah.
Rob (29:27.982)
I don't want to say I don't believe it, but we haven't seen any tickets to support that evidence. So if that's actually happening, yeah, we need a ticket specifically from those people. You should be able to save. You should be able to save filters with no.
Seemyshell (29:34.928)
Okay. So if that's the case, tickets. Yeah, so if... Yeah, that shouldn't be happening. Yep.
Perfect, perfect. All right, Rob, moving on to the Google Maps chat now as well. You did mention on this the last two episodes as well, but we're gonna talk about it a little bit more on this one, but quickly because we're running right out of time. Emphasis though is on the cost. The cost is from Google, not from you guys. Is that right?
Rob (29:58.702)
Yes.
Rob (30:04.75)
I attempted to say, and let me say again, we're not making any money on the map update. We are making no money and we will not be making any money on it. We did beta testing in order to see what it was going to cost. We broke that down and we have passed that on because the request was specific. We want Google maps and in many places the answer there was even if we have to pay for it now.
Why not apply that to the current premium membership? Because the premium membership is $30 a year. That does not cover the cost of adding Google Maps. Honestly, people, it costs us multiple dollars per user per month just from our testing. We don't even know if we're going to have enough money to cover this first month. This is basically open beta testing round two.
Seemyshell (30:42.222)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (30:48.848)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (31:04.046)
So we are hoping that what we are charging is going to be appropriate. Stick with us. I will tell you that we're having conversations about possibly extending that map pack. There is no timeframe for that, but the possibility of there being additional options because that's been a question as well. So the good news is no one has to do it. No one has to. Everyone gets to use Apple Maps for free. You can continue to play for free.
Seemyshell (31:04.878)
Well.
Seemyshell (31:08.624)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (31:23.95)
RUN RUN
Seemyshell (31:27.92)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (31:32.11)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (31:34.126)
So do that.
Seemyshell (31:35.824)
Yeah. Yeah. And that's, that was my next point as well, Rob. Uh, that is, yeah, you don't have to change. This is only for those people who really, really want to and need to use the Google maps. And if that's the case, then if you're that bad way, not bad, but if you're that way inclined that you need, and that's the only way you can work, then unfortunately, yeah, it's, and it's not a Munzee headquarters issue. It is a direct from Google themselves. So.
Rob (31:59.726)
I appreciate as a player that you can see that and that many, many people are saying, look, people, they're not lying. Like this is true. We are not making money on this product. I promise everyone that. And if I may wrap us up with 30 seconds of our roadmap, where are we going in the future? So we are going to take everyone on a daily stroll. That's coming soon. We're going to put some stuff out there.
Seemyshell (32:02.936)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (32:07.024)
No. Yeah.
Seemyshell (32:14.04)
Yeah.
Yes.
Rob (32:25.678)
we're gonna use Cappy the unicorn that we have talked about and that we've kind of teased and that we have shown a little bit over the last year. He's coming soon and he's gonna, he's gonna, you know, put some stuff out there to take you on a daily stroll. We want those daily active users and your greenies will be along a path possibly that Cappy takes you on. So on this daily stroll, we're also gonna take you to something called the wishing well. And I'd like for you to think about what sort of wishes would you like?
that would be within the realm of Munzee. So stay tuned everyone. We do have a reason and a plan for the things that we've been doing and we will keep on going and it is going to be fun. It's coming soon, very soon. It's going into beta testing very soon, very soon. I spoke quickly because of the time, but it is me thinking while I talk, I promise.
Seemyshell (33:19.052)
There you go. Thank you so much for that, Rob. And if you're still listening, then there you go. You're hearing it first amongst everyone else as well, who is also listening. So Rob, that ends then another official Munzee podcast.
