Seemyshell (00:03.188)
Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:05.898)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Seemyshell (00:09.872)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell. I'm an avid Munzee player and here to explore the game further.

Rob (00:15.37)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, divulge some secrets, and inform players from around the world just what's coming your way.

Seemyshell (00:22.436)
So sit back, relax as today's episode, we may dive a little bit further into last week because we did a big rush last week as well. But also we've got some of this fire dragon mech coming. Do I say that right, Rob? Mech? Is it the right? I do say it right. Oh wow, okay. That's cool, that's cool. Oh man, yeah. What a week last week, eh? That was a big, a big episode last week, mate. Ha ha ha.

Rob (00:31.159)
Hehehe

Rob (00:36.69)
Yes, I think so. Yeah.

Rob (00:45.902)
Um, yeah, so apologies to anyone who actually thinks that I have the ability to stick to 30 minutes. Yeah, once you get me talking. Mm hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (00:55.641)
I had your reigns. I had your reigns and everything, Robin. I still couldn't put it in, but that's okay, mate. It wasn't too bad. And to be honest with you, it was all relevant and critical information that was required to get out to the masses. So yeah, I do appreciate that. So that was good. Yeah, yeah.

Rob (01:01.974)
Yeah.

Rob (01:11.074)
Yeah.

Yeah, I think or I hope I hope that everyone enjoys actually hearing a little bit more, you know, about what's going on and some of our reasoning and people do actually request that information. And I'm not going to be writing it all the time out there because sometimes writing it out comes to bite me right in the butt. After after a period of time, people come back with like, well, six months ago, here's what you said. And it's like, Oh, my gosh.

Seemyshell (01:21.9)
Mm.

Seemyshell (01:28.101)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (01:35.192)
Yep.

Seemyshell (01:41.244)
Yeah, yeah. This way they can listen to you. But also I find that sometimes people can read into things too much, just like text messages, et cetera as well, people can read into things too much and try and get their own spin on things. Whereas you having a voice, a voice for the people, it's pretty good, I like that, I like that. So what have you been up to anyway this week, Rob?

Rob (01:42.959)
So yeah, there you go.

Rob (01:51.606)
Yeah.

Rob (02:00.794)
Yeah.

So I've been chasing the sun, still hanging out in Florida, just have had an opportunity, yeah, to have a bit of extended time. So I've really enjoyed spending that time with my son and just kind of seeing daily life here and also just setting up camp and working in sunshine, Lou, out riding her bike. I've been capping daily, chasing bouncers. You know, yeah, I know, man.

Seemyshell (02:05.396)
Yeah? Oh no.

Seemyshell (02:15.002)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (02:25.449)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

What? Look at you actually playing the game again.

Rob (02:32.712)
I know, I know some days. So, you know, we thought we have talked about the reason for the greenies coming back is just to encourage that daily activity user and the daily play and, you know, just seeing people getting back out and spending more time walking more time just out there. I don't know, playing the game. So

Seemyshell (02:41.761)
Yep.

Seemyshell (02:45.825)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (02:51.907)
Yes.

Seemyshell (02:55.735)
Yeah.

Rob (02:56.486)
If that's what we're looking for, then the best case is that it actually does the same thing for me. And, you know, once I get back home, then I'm going to have all those greenies to go and do the same thing with. But I'm actually able to do it here, too, which is nice. So anywhere I go, greenies are there. Yes.

Seemyshell (03:10.712)
That's exactly, that's really nice. And very similar to me, Rob, over the last week too. I'm still on the road, I'm still traveling. If you can't hear it in the car, the podcast car, I call it. But I was down in Mississippi and down near the Gulf Coast of Mississippi as well. And this reminded me, so I actually did a tip, video tip as well, and I put it on my social medias. But apart from that, we'll get to that at the end of the show.

Rob (03:23.351)
Hehehehe

Seemyshell (03:39.064)
but there was, there's a really long peer going out. I can't even think where it actually was. It might've been in sort of, oh, I can't even think now where it was, but yeah, anyway, sorry, Bilaxy, yes, yeah, Bilaxy, that's it. Yeah, that's the one. Yes. Yeah, yeah, that's the one. No wonder I couldn't remember it. But yeah, there was a beautiful long peer. Now, Rob, there was two players, obviously. They've actually placed out.

Rob (03:50.294)
Biloxi I don't know if you made it a Biloxi. Yeah, there we go. Just a lucky guess That's one of the main cities in Mississippi along the coast

Seemyshell (04:10.493)
One fitness Munzey, one greenie. All the way along and they're exactly the same, like the correct distance apart. So like not too big, not too small, it's just a nice. And I thought to myself, well, there was only like a couple, two out of the whole 50 plus missing. So, but I thought what a beautiful walk. It was stunning. And now with the greenies coming back, you could do that walk daily.

Rob (04:26.687)
Hmm.

Rob (04:32.298)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (04:33.772)
and there's a purpose for that walk and it's a beautiful walk, you know, if you lived in that area. And I thought to myself, this is probably one of the reasons if those people who live in an area and they've got nice walking tracks like this, it encourages them to put out greenies for other players to do their walks and then they'll put out for you to do your walks, that sort of thing too, so. Yeah, yeah. So that's what I've been up to, mate. Still going around. Meanwhile, I'm heading towards the...

Rob (04:53.834)
Yeah, that's really cool.

Seemyshell (05:01.032)
Alabama coast now down the Gulf shores. Because Rob, I don't know if you've heard or not, there's actually a geocaching mega coming up in a week and a half's time. It's called Bama Rama. That's the mega. And so Bama Rama, yeah. And so myself and Minnesota boy from obviously Minnesota. I say things sometimes, Robert. I don't even know I say it until I straight after I said it. But anyway.

Rob (05:02.978)
Hey.

Rob (05:10.68)
Yeah.

Bamarama. I like it.

Rob (05:23.703)
Ha ha

Rob (05:28.278)
Hehehe

Seemyshell (05:28.952)
Um, we've decided to host an event, Rob. Now the event down there is on the Friday, not the Saturday. So it doesn't actually coincide with the mega cause we didn't really get permission from the mega hosts and stuff as well, which is fine. Yeah. No, no, exactly. Exactly. So, so, uh, Tim and I, we've done it separately and, uh, so far, Rob, there's five or there's four, but there will be five attendees. That's it so far.

Rob (05:40.658)
You wouldn't get permission for a Munzee event from Mega Hosts. Yes.

Rob (05:55.414)
Hehehehe

Seemyshell (05:57.036)
I mean, so if anyone out there co-exists and you're gonna be at the Bama Rama Mega, try and get there the day before on a Friday afternoon. It's in between, there's an event in the morning, there's an event at night, but ours is in the middle of the day. A Munzee event in the middle of the day itself from there. Rob, I'm gonna put out the pins, you know? But you know what though, I'm gonna have to get help, Rob, after my last tragic event issues. Dale and Barb are gonna be there from a space coast. Yeah, they're gonna be there. Tim and I are gonna be there.

Rob (06:14.112)
Okay.

Rob (06:23.094)
Yeah, that's that is top tier help top tier help from Dale and Barb, right? So they know how to do all of that. Tim having been to so many Minnesota events, maybe he can bring in some of the fun element for what they do at Minnesota events. I mean, really you've got a chance. You've got a chance for this to be a really good event and, um, a lot of fun. Yeah. I mean, you, the four of you are going to have a great time. I've got a feeling.

Seemyshell (06:29.491)
Exactly.

Seemyshell (06:35.05)
Yep.

Yep. Exactly. Yeah.

for four of us. Mind you, there is one person who's coming who doesn't put in his will attend and I know he doesn't do this because he's just too lazy. That's Joshua the geocaching vlogger. He's going to be there as well because I mean I'm his driver so he's going to be there. He has to be there too. So how's that for you can get a coexist badge with him. Was it co-exist? No, what's his badge? The GCV. Met.

Rob (06:59.767)
Alright.

Rob (07:04.114)
Alright.

Rob (07:11.912)
His is just the GCV, yeah.

Seemyshell (07:13.824)
the GCV, you can get, he's going to have the GCV badge. So you can come along and cap that as well. So I think all four of us have already got it. So I mean, it's going to be a small event otherwise, but we'll let you know next week. So that's what I've been up to Rob. So there you go. Thank you, mate. Let's talk about the week that was the Rob. We had events in the U S there in Pennsylvania. We had two in California. We had South Carolina, Alabama, and Missouri as well. In the world we had.

Rob (07:22.733)
Yeah.

Yeah, very good. Well, good luck.

Rob (07:40.046)
And we had two in Canada and Ontario and Surrey. We had Austria, Netherlands. There were three in Germany, and those were in Delbruck, Bonn and Berlin.

Seemyshell (07:51.052)
Wow, wow. The leaderboards over the weekend, cause it was double points remember as well. Friday we had a Humbert 7, whoa. What they've coming back at that at Whelan, 557,000 points. Cap Jack's crew on 347,000 points and the odd one, 336,000, the odd one. I like that, 336,000 for the odd one. That's right. On Saturday, Rob, we had.

Rob (08:12.81)
I like that name too, right? Yeah. So that day we had Aaron Soog at 497,000 and Humbert seven making that run back to number one 455,000. frlk at 405,000.

Seemyshell (08:32.504)
Wow, wow, they did do a big run back to first, didn't they? They got spooked, I think. So, Sunday we had, I'm gonna pronounce this wrong, Jellery at 609,000, Losh Family at 471,000 points. Losh Family, that's what I need, that's who I need, Rob, at my event is Losh Family, because he does all the Minnesota events, great job. And China Bulls at 390,000 points. China Bulls, that's a new name as well for the leaderboards, good job. Mm.

Rob (08:35.503)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (08:51.614)
Yeah.

Rob (09:00.522)
Yeah, good to see those new names. Then let's see, this upcoming weekend, we've got some events going on. There's two in Florida. There's one in Texas and North Carolina.

Seemyshell (09:04.11)
Exactly.

Seemyshell (09:14.108)
And then around the world we have Victoria, Australia. That's it. So none others around. It's again, it's the same thing, Rob. It's coming up to the end of the month, you know, when people don't need their, the clan war stuff anymore. So it dies down again. You know, this is what happens every single month. I take it. So yeah, yep, yep.

Rob (09:18.55)
Yeah

Rob (09:28.086)
Yeah.

Yeah. Also on leap day, we've got a lot of events that are going on. So that's kind of cool to see, which is February 29th, we have Indiana, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and Arizona, and then in the world, we've got England, Netherlands, and Spain. So

Seemyshell (09:34.526)
Mmm.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (09:47.836)
Yeah, I did see that there's more on the February 29th than there is the weekend before, but anyway. Exactly. Now there is a double points weekend, every weekend this month, including this weekend coming as well. This weekend we have cards, temps, flats, greenies and gaming. So there you go. They're the five types we have for double points this weekend. I said double points, not double demerits, you see. I'm trying to keep, trying to get that out of me. So exactly.

Rob (09:52.51)
Yeah, yeah, fun to see.

Rob (10:05.56)
Yeah.

Rob (10:14.03)
You've done better. Yep. Done better today.

Seemyshell (10:17.304)
Large events coming up Rob after February. Of course, we're going to plug it again. California, March eight and nine, 40 plus attendees now. So it's getting there. It's getting there. So, and as we said before, I'm going to say it in the order. I like Mari, Lou, Craig, Rob and myself are going to be there in attendance. So there we go.

Rob (10:31.406)
Ha ha ha.

Yeah.

Rob (10:38.894)
Mm hmm. Now, now I hate to tell you, but you left Tamra out. And the reason that you left Tamra out more than likely, we only said, Marie, is that Tamra is the really quiet one. So in all of our meetings, she's very quiet. She's very thoughtful. And because she is very thoughtful, she sometimes her ideas come out after the fact. So she'll be there, though. So everyone seek her out.

Seemyshell (10:43.5)
No! Yeah.

Seemyshell (10:50.484)
Oh.

Seemyshell (10:54.103)
I thought...

Seemyshell (11:01.432)
Oh, that's right. I thought I meant to put Tamera I meant to put Tamera after Lou and before Craig. Exactly. Then after that, Rob, we have darts farm in England on March 9. It's 30 there so far as well, which is really cool to see. It looks like there might be a couple of mega events that weekend, which is really cool.

Rob (11:08.606)
Uh, that makes sense. The ladies first, and then you go to the rest of us. I agree. Yeah.

Rob (11:26.751)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (11:27.572)
Now again, I'm going to plug this again, ACT in Australia, Rob, there's, they're up to 20, I do believe now. Now I've reached out to my Australian friends. You know what they've said to me? They've said, Craig, we're so laid back. We're just going to, we're just going to do it. We don't need the, we don't need the numbers in the Willattens or the attendees. We need them after the fact for Munzee, not like geocaching. So they're like, we'll just do it on the day. I'm like, okay, fine. Just do it on the day then we'll see.

Rob (11:53.642)
You know, you know, it's not required to put it on the calendar in order to cap everything. So that's perfectly fine. I hope that they take a chance to actually, you know, go around and talk to all of the geocachers that are there, talk to them about this other game that's Munzee. It's not a new game. It's just a refreshed game that if they've ever looked at it before, as you know, it's quite different.

Seemyshell (11:57.612)
It's not.

Seemyshell (12:05.25)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:09.045)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Oh yeah, oh very, very different, very different. Then after that we have Nottingham England on April 6th, 35 there so far, and then Minneapolis on May 10th to 12th, Munzee Mania, and of course we're both gonna be there, Rob. And if you have a growing event, reach out to us and let us know, and if you want something that's gonna be large and you want more publicity about it, let me know and we'll go from there. That's the week that was, Rob, and also any events. So.

Rob (12:28.948)
Yes.

Rob (12:38.87)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:43.04)
Now we get to the ducks guts of it. What's coming up this week, Rob? What's this now? What's new for us?

Rob (12:48.594)
Well, let's see this week we announced something that's pretty important, which is the double points weekends for March. And so we know what's going to happen, we're going to see more events pop up on the calendar for these two weekends. The first one is going to be March 8 through 10. And as usual, we're gonna have cards, temps, flats.

Seemyshell (12:57.151)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (13:03.3)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:10.762)
And then we've got, oh, and greenies. Those have been the four constant in case everyone hasn't noticed. And then we add in one more category just so that it kind of spreads it out, spreads the love. So with this first weekend, it's all the virtual colors. So be prepared, be prepared for that. That is gonna be a big event weekend. So get out to an event then.

Seemyshell (13:13.433)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (13:16.918)
Yep.

Seemyshell (13:26.247)
Oh yes, yes.

Seemyshell (13:33.852)
Now when you say virtual colors, it also includes white guys, yes. I have had questions about that. So when you see virtual colors, it's all virtuals, but just the letter V and just virtual. Not all virtuals in general, just the virtuals that are colored in different colors and also white as well. So there you go. Yeah.

Rob (13:39.537)
Yeah.

Rob (13:45.419)
Yes.

Rob (13:51.358)
Yes, this is the base white virtual and all 64 other colors. Yes. Yeah. That Crayola package, you know, yep.

Seemyshell (13:58.696)
64 Rob, there you go. 64, wow, wow. Yep, yeah, yeah. Actually, before we move on, I almost forgot. Yesterday, Rob, we were recording this on Wednesdays. Yesterday being Tuesday. Did you see he was number one in the world for yesterday, Rob? Did you see, did you see? Oh, oh, you're looking at him now. Just saying. Oh yeah, yeah. I've already got the badge and I thought, oh, oh gee, I've already got the first badge. I'm joking.

Rob (14:16.132)
No, no I did not. Who was it?

Are you serious? Oh wow, congrats to you. Yeah.

Seemyshell (14:27.64)
But what made me laugh more, Rob, and I've met this guy, have a guess who was second, have a guess who was second. And I've met him, I've met him in Florida as well.

Rob (14:35.031)
You've met him. Well, I was gonna say, was it Florida? Probably in Florida. Jack Sparrow, Jack Sparrow. Oh.

Seemyshell (14:41.196)
Yeah, in Florida. I met him in Florida. No, no, no. He was, he's second because I think that's the place he likes to be, second. He's always surprised why. Munzey Prav got second to me this time. So a big shout out to him. I know he listens to this podcast as well. So well done, mate. You got second again. Good job. I know, I know, I know. He does, he does. And a great guy as well. Good to talk to you, mate too, so.

Rob (14:49.663)
Oh no way Munzee Prof no way

Oh wow.

Yeah.

Rob (15:01.686)
That's funny. Funny and sad all at the same time. But he enjoys it.

Rob (15:11.081)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (15:11.332)
What else is happening Rob we have the March did you say the 22nd and 24th we've got more Okay, so we're having more

Rob (15:15.474)
No, no, I didn't. Yeah, March 22nd through 24th, it's again gonna be cards, temps, flats, greenies, and then this time we're throwing jewels in there as well.

Seemyshell (15:22.477)
Mm-hmm.

Uh, jewels amongst the mix. So I like the jewels. They're pretty cool. That's pretty cool. And then after that we have, yeah.

Rob (15:27.726)
Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah. So yeah, the other thing that we have also announced this week, which is in the future for the two of us, because it's being released on Thursday, is something that you enjoy, a new Secret Zeop.

Seemyshell (15:41.102)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (15:48.933)
Oh, oh, I do. I've done all of them, Rob. Cause I remember you putting out those secret Z-ops like a while ago and all you put out all the old ones as well. Well, I chucked down some dollars. I went, you know what? I've got to do all these at once, you know? So, and I've got them all done. And for me, they're all done now. So I'm like, okay, what else is there to do? Thank you for putting this one out. What's this one involved?

Rob (15:51.211)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (15:56.791)
Yeah.

Rob (16:00.718)
Heh heh heh. Yeah.

Rob (16:06.21)
down.

So this one is dragon themed, which again, we've talked about on this podcast, but this is the year of the dragon. And conveniently, we have a dragon in the game. And so we're focusing a lot of things on that dragon. And yeah, just kind of gives us something easy to think about whenever we're talking about, hey, what's next. So it's all dragon themed. And there's a cool new Mac. And that new Mac is called firewall. Now, of course, we, we throw, you know, code.

Seemyshell (16:10.782)
Right.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (16:22.797)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (16:35.673)
Wow.

Yeah, exactly.

Rob (16:38.308)
language into it so the there's a lowercase I there's a three for an E and there's an at sign for the A so firewall so firewall is a fire breathing dragon and if you look at it you might see that there's some inspiration and it kind of goes around the Great Wall of China

Seemyshell (16:47.586)
Oh yeah, I see it now. Firewall, there we go.

Seemyshell (16:56.332)
Hmm?

Seemyshell (17:04.476)
Oh, oh, well I'll tell you now Rob, Munzee itself are not dragging their feet with new innovations just saying. You having a drink then sorry, you nearly spat out your drink then, I'm sorry I do apologize. And it was the wrong time.

Rob (17:12.015)
Oh man, chuckle, chuckle. I know. Yeah, I took a second, took a chance to have a drink there and so I had to, yeah, delayed chuckling of your funny joke.

Seemyshell (17:29.516)
Oh, I know. Right. I'm very I laugh at myself. So because sometimes no one else does. Anyway, that's really cool, Rob. So what more can you tell us about this new secret zops? Like, what how do we know how do we go about getting it? How do we obtain this secret zops?

Rob (17:33.934)
That's all that matters.

Rob (17:43.554)
Okay.

So the only way to get secret Z ops is through the app. And there's a special secret Z ops section to the daily Z ops. So that's the little bulls eye looking thing on the right hand side of the app. Takes you into the, a version of the app store and you're able to add that one into your, your whatever roster, your lineup of here's some new stuff. So. With this coming out at the end.

Seemyshell (17:49.165)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (17:52.883)
Mm.

Seemyshell (18:04.6)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (18:10.346)
Yeah.

Rob (18:14.78)
month and that gives everybody a reason to get out there if they've already got their clan requirements done. Why not go chasing so that you can deploy the first or the 10th or the 50th firewall dragon.

Seemyshell (18:20.076)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (18:25.904)
It's the maximum difference. Exactly. I do notice a lot of people when they do a post to hashtag number one, they do like to brag about it on the water core too. So I love that. I love to see who's, you know, Carson, buckeyecash111, he's been number one a few times of that as too. So now the cost, the cost involved, there is a cost involved in this. How many Zs is it?

Rob (18:34.262)
Don't they?

Rob (18:44.842)
Yeah, it's 1500 Zed, so possible that, you know, some people may have saved up over a few months from clan requirements, or sorry, clan rewards, or just earning through normal gameplay. Yep. Otherwise.

Seemyshell (18:51.592)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (18:58.28)
Yep, yep. And if you don't have it and you really want to do it, you can purchase it through the app as well separately.

Rob (19:01.998)
The yes, the actual best price for you to get those ads through our online store. However, you can pay for them through the app in the app store.

Seemyshell (19:07.353)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (19:12.072)
Mm-hmm, and you can get them at resellers as well. I do believe he is ed's three resellers Yeah, Space Coast Space Coast good Dale and Bob a bitch a big shout out to Dale of our love Dale and Bob I think they're great people so the big shout out to them All right And now the other the question I have Rob is there any time limit to if you if you know You're a slow player. Is there any time limit to this the secret seals? No, that's good

Rob (19:16.959)
Uh, yes, one of them. One of them. Only one has the ability. Sorry to the other three. Yeah.

Rob (19:27.298)
Thank you.

Rob (19:33.026)
No.

Rob (19:36.35)
No, no, this one doesn't have any of the days of activity involved. So that means that, you know, Carson can go chasing number one and he can have it in 30 minutes or three hours, whatever time it takes for him to get it done and not just him, obviously. But, you know, you said number one, maybe. So, yeah.

Seemyshell (19:41.934)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (19:47.952)
Oh wow. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah. And what if that's the case, then is there any time limit in terms of, you know, if you're a slow player, for instance, and I purchased this and I slow play, there's no it's not going to end. There's no end point in time until you actually do it. Yeah.

Rob (20:09.23)
take all the time you want. I think it was, I think it was last month, I think it was January when I completed the, I got the ter-key that was from not two months behind, but it took me I think 14 months to complete the Thanksgiving one from the previous November. So, um, proof, proof that it truly can take as long as you want.

Seemyshell (20:22.552)
Yes.

Seemyshell (20:28.916)
Yeah. Wow, Rob.

Seemyshell (20:36.58)
Exactly. So there you go guys. So make sure, excuse me, make sure you get into the 1500 Zeds for this particular secret, secret is the dragon theme. That sounds really cool. I'm really looking forward to it, Rob. And of course I'm going to be obtaining this myself. So there we go. Now, Rob, last week we got cut off. I mean, we didn't get cut off, but you sort of raced, you raced ahead at the end. Now I've had a couple of people reach out to me and go, Craig, we listened to the podcast and Rob-

didn't slow down his speech. And you made mention of that too. You said, I didn't even slow down. But you made mention about something coming up in the future. Now, one question is, I got was, did Rob get in trouble for that? Yeah. And then other questions I got was like, can Rob explain a little bit more about what he was saying in regards to the, this chasing thing, whatever it's called, unicorn, you said.

Rob (21:18.691)
No?

Rob (21:24.45)
You're welcome.

Rob (21:29.687)
Yeah, yeah.

Um, yeah, so you know, we did speed through the end. We talked about the, the map pack and then we talked about the, um, one user piece of the app. And, uh, so hopefully we got enough information out there to everyone, but I did take a 30 seconds to end everything to say, you know, here's the roadmap. Here's where we're headed. Um, it talked about this daily stroll that's coming up. Um, and no, I did not get in trouble for the things that I said. So it didn't, didn't slow down.

Seemyshell (21:58.848)
Hehehehe

Rob (22:00.488)
but I was thinking as fast as I possibly could. Didn't have a script written out, but I probably should have, just to stick to a couple of major points. But, you know, kind of like what we've been talking about. We're looking to increase daily activity. We're looking to increase, to take people who only play once a week or once a month, or those kinds of things. We want people to be active. We want people to play for the reasons that they play. We're giving everyone an opportunity to get out there

Seemyshell (22:03.428)
Hehehehe

Seemyshell (22:27.001)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (22:30.909)
get your POIs every day.

this daily stroll is kind of going to be a combination of those two things. And, uh, Cappy's going to show up. He's going to give you things that you, um, will go and chase. Um, there's going to be, uh, a good amount of activity that'll come from that. Uh, some of the inspiration from it comes from other location based games that, uh, that have some similar types of, uh, things.

Seemyshell (23:01.832)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (23:02.038)
but we always put a little Munzee spin on it. And then what we also talked about quickly, well, what I talked about was these wishing wells. And so some of the things that happen with CAPI, you're gonna kind of be able to redeem something. Beta testers are gonna see this first, it's coming soon. And these wishes are gonna be things that apply.

Seemyshell (23:19.705)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (23:26.77)
instantly into the game. Yeah. And so, you know, I, I am not able, slowing down, to really put a lot of the wishes out there because for this, we have a couple of base wishes that we're going to start the testing with, but we really are going to lean on the beta testers to help us decide how not cost because it's not

Seemyshell (23:28.244)
Oh wow. Wow.

Seemyshell (23:37.37)
Hehe

Seemyshell (23:41.454)
Mm.

Seemyshell (23:45.028)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (23:52.653)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (23:53.498)
It's not dollar cost, but what should it take to redeem these wishes? What would you like to see as wishes? Cash rewards, obviously not going to happen, but additional gameplay.

Seemyshell (23:55.16)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (24:04.464)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (24:08.31)
Yes.

Rob (24:08.718)
How can we extend this into getting people out there and doing just a little bit more, enjoying things just a little bit more, capping greenies on the way back to wherever they, you know, started their daily stroll, those kinds of things. Like what can we do? Giving people a reason to get out there and munzee a little bit more.

Seemyshell (24:14.124)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (24:19.362)
Mm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (24:26.776)
Wow, wow, that sounds exciting. I do like that. And I do know as well, Rob, that a lot of people play Munzee for different reasons. I mean, you know, one of my new referrals, I've got a new referral, Rob, and one of my new referrals reached out to me and she's like, she loves all the artwork. So again, push this out to your team, mate. They love, she loves the artwork. And so all the bouncers, what she does is she'll look at the bouncer first and she'll be at home, for instance, right?

and she'll have to go out to get the bouncer. But she'll look at the bouncer first. Now, if the bouncer's one she's already got and she doesn't really like it that much, like the, what do you call it? There's the ones with the jewel heads, those ones. She's like, oh yeah, they're all right. But her favorite is, funfinity, yeah. But her favorite is the puffle. So if she sees a puffle, she's gonna drive out of her way just to obtain that puffle. Like she literally gets out of her pajamas and puts on her clothes and gets her keys and off she goes. So.

Rob (25:04.206)
So, yeah.

Rob (25:07.562)
Yeah. Funfinity. Yeah.

Rob (25:16.95)
Hehehe

Rob (25:22.898)
Hey man, if that's what it takes to get people dressed and out the door, cool. Andy does some amazing art and, uh, we've got some really cool stuff coming up. He is always, um, he's always putting new stuff together. So that's really cool. I'm glad to hear that. I will pass that along to him.

Seemyshell (25:23.288)
There you go. So.

Seemyshell (25:27.056)
Exactly right. Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (25:34.499)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (25:37.828)
Yeah, yes, yeah, I mean, yeah. So as I said, people play this game for different reasons, but at the end of the day, your job is, just get people outside, mate. Fresh air, sunshine, activity, enjoying what they enjoy the most, whether it's points or whether it could be, oh, I love the puffle. So there you go.

Rob (25:47.169)
Okay.

Yeah.

Rob (25:58.058)
Yeah, we love hearing those stories and you've heard a few of them in person at events as well. So it's good to hear that people are out there doing these things, losing weight, walking further, it's mobility, it's getting people out of the car, it's getting people out of the house. We've talked about the mental health aspects of all of it and yeah, we just we want to give people more reason to do that.

Seemyshell (26:01.201)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (26:08.928)
Mm-hmm. Exactly. Yep.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (26:18.093)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (26:22.884)
Exactly. So talking about bounces, Rob, this is going to lead us now look at this for a segway straight into the question of the week. And this question of the week comes from a UDAAC. She's ever in California. And she asked, Can bounces be purchased or are they earned by a task slash challenge?

Rob (26:29.454)
Hmm.

Rob (26:40.086)
You know, I've had a little bit of time to think about this one, and I can't think of any of them that are completely free. I think that every single one of them is through purchase only. There might be a few that in the past we've set them up as a way to get them through gameplay, but those are rare. The majority of them are through purchase because of the amount of cap on points that

Seemyshell (26:42.913)
Mmm.

Seemyshell (26:46.89)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (26:52.389)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (27:01.229)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (27:10.916)
That's right. Yep.

Rob (27:11.062)
from them over time, whether they're temporary or permanent.

Seemyshell (27:15.576)
The only thing I can think of in that regard as well, Rob, is when she talks about bounces, maybe she's talking about the mech bounces as well. And so some of the mech bounces, like for instance, the spider bot, you know, you can win them during surprise wheels. Yeah, see, there you go.

Rob (27:22.953)
Yeah

Rob (27:30.378)
Ooh, see, there you go. This is why we have not just me on the podcast. I really, I've been, I was using my hat rack, um, slash head to try and think, and I couldn't make it to that one. I thought about some mechs and in the past there have been a few mechs that, um, that took an extreme amount of gameplay sorta to get to them as well. So, so yeah, good point. And there may be a few others. Yes, I like it. Good point.

Seemyshell (27:35.34)
Ha ha

Seemyshell (27:39.852)
Hehe

Seemyshell (27:45.84)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (27:52.264)
Yes. Yeah. And again, going back to the my new my new referral player, she got a she got a spider bot bouncer and she was so excited. She messaged me she's like, I got this spiderbots bouncer blah, blah. And then she messaged me back crying like almost crying three or four days later. She's like, it's squashed. What happened to it? It's squashed. So I love it. Yeah, I love how people though that they

Rob (28:16.048)
It's in my archive list. Yep.

Seemyshell (28:21.208)
They find out new things in the game that we've always known as older players now. But yeah, I still remember the days when I found out new stuff like that too, so it was pretty exciting, so there you go. All right, Rob, we're moving on now to the Munzee Tip of the Week. And this one is gonna be from myself and I shared it on my social media this week and it was while I was doing the Munzee walk on the Long Pier in Mississippi. Biloxi, as you've pointed out before, thank you, Rob. As I said before, it was a mix of greenies and fitness physicals. Now, Rob, I've got an iPhone.

Rob (28:30.195)
Yeah, that's cool.

Rob (28:45.71)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (28:51.352)
And it's a new issue iPhone as well. Like it's a brand new model. It's the one before it. And I started trying to cap these and you know, it just wouldn't cap. And then I'd move my phone out and then all of a sudden it'd cap when I moved it away from the Munzee, you know? And then I started moving back and forward back and it wasn't capping. What I did was, as I was doing that though, I had with my other hand, I zoomed in on the screen, like push, like pressing zoomed in on the screen. And all of a sudden it started capping again, like.

like crazy, which is really quick, which is really nice. And I realized the reason for that, Rob, is that it actually changes up. You've got three different cameras on an iPhone, so it changes up which camera it uses as you zoom in. So there is my tip of the week for everyone. If you are struggling with your physical caps and your phone is not capping for some unknown reason, try moving it forward and back away from the sticker at first or the last result that I did was zoom in as you're moving it back and forward.

and zoom in and fill up the screen a little bit more. So there you go.

Rob (29:50.09)
I'm actually going to put this tip in use immediately because I've been having this problem as well. Excuse me. We've been talking about this and we do have a fix coming for it. My goodness. Sorry. Lost my talking.

Seemyshell (29:55.032)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (30:04.636)
Mm-hmm. That's OK. Yeah.

Rob (30:10.03)
We do have a fix coming for this. There is a delay in the camera even opening sometimes, which is painful and we don't like that. We have a fix for that, but we also have a fix for this because as we've talked about it.

Seemyshell (30:16.164)
Yes. Okay.

Rob (30:25.222)
someone found if you zoom in and I think it might have been Mari because she's a little bit shorter and so they use that for some higher types and so she tests the way that she plays which is different than the way that I play. So yeah, so thank you for that tip. To those of you out there who are having this problem, use this tip. Continue to use it in the future because it is a good workaround for different types of things but hopefully we're going to fix this soon.

Seemyshell (30:34.5)
Hehe

Seemyshell (30:39.261)
Yep. Yes.

Yes.

Seemyshell (30:46.472)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yep.

And as you said as well, it's a good tip for those who are a little bit shorter than others and can't actually physically reach up or wherever to a Munzee, you can literally zoom in on your phone to try and get it as close as you can that way, so there you go, Rob. Oh, look at that, look at the time too. Very, very good, mate. So Rob, that ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (31:06.35)
Freaking.

Rob (31:10.999)
