Seemyshell (00:01.099)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.566)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Seemyshell (00:07.403)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell. I'm an avid Munzee player and I'm here to explore the game further.

Rob (00:13.326)
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 (00:20.651)
So sit back, relax, as today's episode, we're gonna talk about flashing, well, no, no, sorry, actually flash mobs, they're supposed to be called, and also some royal frogs too. Rob, you kiss some frogs and you get a prince, is that right? Like, what's a...

Rob (00:34.67)
man you certainly do at least in the game of munzee we're actually making it happen that's right dreams come true dreams come true um

Seemyshell (00:38.283)
There we go. How have you been mate? How have you been mate? It's been a week since I've seen you. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah.

Rob (00:46.19)
Yeah, every week you get to see me. Yeah, it's been good though. Been good things. The weather has changed for me because my latitude has changed. We are back in the UK. Yeah.

Seemyshell (00:56.971)
Oh no. Oh, you poor thing. I thought I saw you, you know, a bit of a frown on your face rather than a smile on your dial. Just saying, you know.

Rob (01:04.782)
Well, you you probably see that I've got a little bit of, you know, sun coloring on my skin. And so that's nice because in Florida, the sun works in in England. The sun provides light, but not necessarily much heat or or, you know, yeah, a little bit less. But but yeah, the sun is out today. We're looking at rain every day this week. So yeah, I look forward to.

Seemyshell (01:11.475)
Yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:16.873)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (01:23.723)
vitamin D. Exactly.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, jeez.

Rob (01:34.51)
playing a bit more of a virtual game like I do in England. Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:38.155)
Yeah, that's fair enough, mate. And then you'll be coming over later on shortly anyway to California. So you get more sun in California too. So more of that in a little bit. Mate, at the moment, I'm in my car, still on my road trip. I'm actually parked up, get this, I'm parked up at one of the site events for geocaching in Bama Rama down in Alabama slash Gulf shores, Florida panhandle, that sort of area. So.

Rob (01:43.552)
Yeah.

Rob (02:00.334)
Oh.

Rob (02:04.526)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (02:05.087)
Yeah, that's where I am. So if you can hear a little bit of noise here and there, blame the actual geocaches, not the Munzee players, the geocaches, because they're the rowdy bunch. But anyway.

Rob (02:13.358)
Well, you know, I mean, if there were some Munzee players there, they might actually like shake the vehicle and just want to get in on the podcast. So it's. Yeah, there's no there's no podcast, you know, rap on your car, so everyone doesn't know what you're doing in there. That's good.

Seemyshell (02:18.507)
This is true. This is true and rightfully so.

Seemyshell (02:27.275)
No, I wish there was. That would be really cool if I could press a button of some sort and just have it in my little dome. That would be awesome. Instead, no, I have to sort of set out this sort of dome area with blankets and my Starlink at the front and stuff as well. But anyway, anyway, mate, I've got an event coming up on Friday. Well, when this goes live, it'll be today. It's here in Foley as well. And there's only still only a few players here, but Rob, as always,

Rob (02:43.566)
Yeah.

Rob (02:52.142)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (02:56.203)
You know, I've seen three other Munzee players slash Geocaches here as well coexisting, which is really cool. And I've said to them, you know, there's a Munzee event on Friday. Like, no, what? Oh, what the, how do you not see all these cards popping up, all these virtual? And one of them actually, she said to me, she said, oh, I wondered why there was a lot of cards and virtual popping up in that particular parking area. I'm like, well, there you go. You know, so not sure if that person's actually ever been to a Munzee event, to be honest with you. So just saying.

Rob (03:09.678)
Yeah.

Rob (03:20.078)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (03:25.387)
doesn't know what she'd miss out on if she did turn up. So there you go.

Rob (03:28.686)
Yeah, we'll just keep shooting them messages and chatting with them and see if you can convince a few more people to come along.

Seemyshell (03:35.211)
Exactly, because Rob, I'll tell you now between you and me and then the rest of the listeners as well I've got a special badge coming out for mine as well I messaged Lou, paid the extra, put some dollars on the table mate and I got to the special badge, special artwork badge just for this event So if you turn up you may be one of less than 10 people in the world with this one badge So that's pretty cool No, I know I saw the surprise on your face, but that's pretty cool

Rob (03:42.99)
What?

Rob (03:51.254)
Wow.

Rob (03:55.438)
Oh, that's great. I didn't know that. I actually did not know that. That's cool.

Yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (04:04.875)
All right, mate, let's move along. Enough about you, enough about me. Let's move along about Munzee in general. People are here to listen about Munzee more so than you and I. The activity from last week, mate, we had some events. We had two in Florida, one in Texas, North Carolina, and around the world we had.

Rob (04:13.708)
Yeah.

Rob (04:19.95)
We had one in Victoria, Australia. Yeah.

Seemyshell (04:22.667)
And that was it, that was it. But Rob, I've got to give this to you. So before we read out the leaderboards over the weekend, I'm telling you now, you've got to read out Friday first and you've got to read out the first place person very slowly. Why? Because she loves when Rob reads her name. It's only happened once before. So.

Rob (04:44.078)
Well, then hello to the number one player in the world on Friday and that was Hildes. She is. Yeah. One of your friends from Australia. Is that correct? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Seemyshell (04:53.259)
Ooh, Hills. Yes, from Australia. Exactly. She's a clan member too, so that's pretty cool. Yep.

Rob (04:59.95)
Yeah, I saw the name and I was like, wait, I think I know this one. So that's good. Six hundred and fourteen thousand points for her. Well done. And then we had Sunderman at three hundred and thirty three thousand and Mrs. C .B. at three hundred and seven thousand.

Seemyshell (05:15.371)
And then on Saturday we had Colecracker7 from Florida on 726 ,000 points, Jaffa43 on 612 ,000, and W .Helen on 559 ,000, sorry, Whelan on 559 ,000 points as well. He was in Florida again. He spends a lot of time in the air, almost as much as you, Rob, flying to and from different events. So, yeah, yep, yep.

Rob (05:28.014)
Yeah.

Rob (05:39.886)
Right. Almost almost. Yeah. He and Humberd seven have been going back and forth as number one and two on the top of the leaderboard. It's been yeah.

Seemyshell (05:46.475)
I like it. And we all like it. So, Whelan and Humbert, just to let you guys know, we love this little ding dong batter. We are all enjoying it. So keep it up. Keep it up, just saying. Sunday, Rob? Sunday we had?

Rob (05:56.942)
Absolutely. Sunday, we had the lanes at 354 ,000. Coal Cracker 7 up there again at 346 ,000 and Schmitz Fam 4 248 ,000.

Seemyshell (06:09.419)
So yeah, well done to all those players on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Well done to all the players to be honest with you throughout the entire week that get on the leaderboards. You know what I mean? They do reset every single day, which is really, really cool. All right, coming current events this weekend. We have Alabama today on the Friday, which is me. And that's it. That's it. No other events this weekend. What the? Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

Rob (06:28.75)
Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, you know, the weekend is the first and second of the month. And so, you know how how it's just not going to happen. And on the third, the third is Sunday. So everyone's holding off until the weekend of the eighth through 10th, because that's going to be our first double point weekend for the month of March.

Seemyshell (06:40.107)
Hahaha!

Seemyshell (06:45.449)
Mm -hmm. Yep.

Seemyshell (06:51.755)
And we're not talking about just US events here, we're talking around the world, Rob, too. There's no events worldwide, so it's gonna be a quiet one. So if you want a chance at the leaderboard, this weekend is a good chance if you get out there and find a spot where you can get some points, just saying. All right, large events coming up. We've got some new ones on this list, Rob, as well. So of course, California, March 8th and 9th, 48 attendees now, two more to get to the Magic Five Zero number. Of course, have to mention.

Rob (06:55.918)
Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah.

Rob (07:17.934)
Nice.

Seemyshell (07:19.531)
Lou, Rob, Mari, Tamara, Craig and myself will be there in attendance as well. And then we have...

Rob (07:24.878)
Yeah. Well, let's see over in England on March 9th, there's actually going to be two separate events. There's one at Darts Farm and they've got 32 in attendance showing. And then Coventry is the other one on March 9th again. And there's 42 at that one. So split your cards, put some at both.

Seemyshell (07:36.777)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (07:44.779)
Yeah, exactly, that's really cool. So you may have two at the same, on the same day, both in England at the same time, which is cool. ACT on March 30th, I always plug this one as well because it's close to my heart. 25 so far, so it is rising slowly. And we do have a question of the week, a good question of the week to be honest with you as well, coming up from a friend of mine, Gliss from ACT Australia relating to that mega event. So that event, sorry, that event, I shouldn't jinx it like that.

Rob (07:58.668)
Yeah.

Rob (08:09.806)
Okay.

Seemyshell (08:13.579)
Then in another one in England, Rob.

Rob (08:13.678)
Hehehe.

In England, we're back to Nottingham. That one's on April 6th and there are 39 on the calendar there.

Seemyshell (08:24.043)
And then Minneapolis, May 10th to 12th, 26 so far. Again, as we said last week, Rob, their fingers are still thawing out for the, like one of our tens, the Willa tens, so. But of course you and I will both be there anyway, so for that one there too, so that's cool. Mm -hmm.

Rob (08:32.46)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (08:40.014)
Yep. And then we're going to go back to Hampshire in the UK with they they've got it set up sort of as a weekend events. They're a weekend of events. They're going to be June 14 to 16. And there are 21 showing across those set of events, but they're all organizing together in order to try and draw larger numbers and hopefully take those events mega that weekend.

Seemyshell (08:51.817)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (08:58.251)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (09:02.891)
Mmm You know what? I'll just I'm gonna put a seed in your in your brain rub too just to let you know I haven't been to the UK yet ever so anyway

Rob (09:11.534)
Oh, well then, hey, well, I will tell you that June 14 to 16. That could be in well that is in the like eight week window of the three days of summer. So it's possible that we could have one, two or three days of the English summer land during this event. So everyone should get out.

Seemyshell (09:22.281)
Mm -hmm.

Oh.

Seemyshell (09:30.667)
Wow, there you go. There you go. So yeah, if you're looking, if you've liked myself and never been to the UK, by the sounds of it, that weekend is a good weekend to put on your list. So that's pretty cool. And don't forget, if you are a host of a growing event, please reach out to me as well, if I haven't already seen it on the events page and let me know. All right, Rob, it's time to find out what's happening this week on the Munzee World, Rob, the Munzee World.

Rob (09:57.75)
Yeah, that's right. Well, as we record this, none of these things have happened. So you're actually going to get sort of a preview. But the thing is, you can't really do anything about it because you know, well, or better yet, if everyone online starts talking about it, there's only one person who could have shared that information you sell. So this is a future talk for me and you but for the people out there, they will have seen these things. So let's start with March plan requirements, because those come out on the 28th of every month.

Seemyshell (10:00.873)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (10:04.363)
Hehehehehe

No.

Seemyshell (10:14.827)
Hehehehehe

Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (10:25.555)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (10:27.566)
right. So this time, I got some special new things built for me so that I could I could have a little bit more fun with the clan stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, when I get to have a little bit more fun, sometimes that's a good thing for the players. And sometimes that's an interesting thing for the players. There you go. So so here's what I will say with this being

Seemyshell (10:27.979)
Yeah, that's right.

Seemyshell (10:38.699)
Oh, yes, yes!

A challenging thing for the players also.

Rob (10:55.502)
in advance. So you and I don't know what conversation will have taken place from when they launched until this podcast goes live. We have put together some new requirements, some new types of things that people will have to cap and deploy different types of points and that kind of stuff. So what we've had has grown very stale to me because

Seemyshell (11:03.945)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (11:09.427)
Mm -hmm. Yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (11:17.865)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (11:21.311)
Yeah.

Rob (11:21.742)
I haven't been able to incorporate quite a few of the things that that have come into the game over the last, well, really year, year and a half, two years. And also the rewards, the rewards have been very stale to me as well. So I got a whole new pool of rewards. And I got to say, I'm taking advantage of it. So I'm instead of it being like, oh, man, it's more of the same stuff that we've had. And it seems like this is all I've got for the last

Seemyshell (11:29.747)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (11:35.347)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (11:41.587)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (11:51.371)
Yeah, yeah, yes.

Rob (11:51.79)
18 months. Yeah, that's how I feel too. So, um, so I'm having a little bit of fun with them this month. Obviously, I'll be looking for the interactions, I'll be looking for the feedback. And one of the things written on the blog, since we read the blog to everyone is that we reserve the right and I may reserve the right to

Seemyshell (11:58.217)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (12:02.763)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:07.785)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (12:13.611)
Yeah.

Rob (12:14.67)
update these clan requirements and rewards. They will be updated before the third. So just in case people are listening to this, and they're just laughing and laughing and laughing because everything erupted in the water cooler after the clan requirements went live, just in case. Don't worry, everyone, I got you, you know, one of those things. So there's there there are things coming in the future that

Seemyshell (12:20.873)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (12:28.085)
Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Heheheheh

Rob (12:41.294)
Always, you know, I'm looking for I'm looking for some ways to have some fun with it all. So we've got some new stuff. Let's let's have some fun with claim requirements.

Seemyshell (12:47.561)
Mm -hmm.

So.

So Rob, this goes live on Friday. Will everyone know by Friday, like on the blog? When the blog post come out? Yeah, yeah. Well then tell us now, tell us now. Why? Why?

Rob (13:01.742)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the blog post comes out on the 28th.

No, man, I can't do it. Can't do it. No, I can't do. I can do. I'm going to I truly I need to see what some of the what the reactions are. So just think if it's been quiet out there, if everyone's listening to the podcast right now on Friday or later and it's quiet, it's crickets, then I need some feedback, people. So let me know. Let me know what you think. And.

Seemyshell (13:17.739)
Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

You put the how would they that means you're you're telling people Rob you've just said to us before you're going back on your word. You see people say I'm for the people I'm holding Robert accountable. You said you said it initially this but this podcast is for those people who don't read the blog. Now what you're telling us is that if they're listening in the car you're telling them I'm not going to tell you you've got to go read the blog.

Rob (13:35.406)
No... Never.

Rob (13:52.334)
Oh, oh no no no no. Oh, you mean like me read the clan requirements and stuff? Oh.

Seemyshell (13:54.667)
No? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, like just an example of change of the clan requirement.

Rob (14:01.44)
Okay, okay, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Give me, yeah.

Seemyshell (14:04.075)
Cause my, if you like, I can even mute myself. I can mute my ears. So I don't even hear it, Rob, if you like.

Rob (14:09.09)
No, so so broken mechs. We've never had a requirement for people to have a certain number of broken mechs. That's brand new.

Seemyshell (14:14.921)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (14:19.371)
Oh, like the, when, oh, I said that last week about my, my new referral, how she got all upset about the squished spider bots. Oh, oh, oh, oh, she's really not going to like that. She's really not going to like that.

Rob (14:25.614)
Mm hmm. Yeah. So thank you. Thank you for the advice and thank you for the the idea. And you're welcome. You're welcome to all the other players out there. How about scatter points like?

Seemyshell (14:42.251)
Oh, scatter points. I was gonna say something, Rob. I'm gonna interrupt you here, by the way. I was gonna say something because this morning, my ZEOP requirement was a certain amount of scatter points. And to me, I'm like, is that new? Is that a first? There we go. See, so it is noticeable. So the scatter points, I like scatter points. I personally think that's a good requirement, Rob. So yeah, anything, what else? What else we got?

Rob (14:46.094)
See ya.

Rob (14:54.734)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (15:04.238)
Okay, I'll give you one more. I mean, it's a boring one. Rum points. We've never actually had a rum points category. We've had cap and deploy rums, we've had, you know, flat rums and stuff like that. But we've never had just an overall rum points category. So got that one added in. But anyway, the the scatter points, yes, that's been sort of tested on daily z ops.

Seemyshell (15:06.699)
Okay.

Seemyshell (15:10.475)
Oh, okay. No, rum amounts. Yeah. Mm -hmm. Yeah. Rum points. Yeah.

Seemyshell (15:29.001)
Mmm.

Yes, yeah, yeah.

Rob (15:32.75)
And so it was kind of like, okay, I want that as a client requirement. So we built it. Yeah.

Seemyshell (15:36.555)
That's really cool. I personally, I'm a fan of that one. Some people wouldn't be, but I am. So just to let you know, because some people, Rob, they forget about the scatters. They just don't really care about the scatters. And when we're talking about the scatters, we're not talking about scatters from mechs and stuff involved in that as well, or just the mystery scatters. All scatters, all scatters.

Rob (15:42.112)
Yeah.

Rob (15:52.888)
Yep. All, all scatters all scatters. So, oh, man, I don't have anything around me. Oh, really? You don't so you don't have like, some sort of a mystery and elemental mystery that you could magnetize that then you cap it, then it throws the scatters, then you go get those, you don't have one of those. Well, that's sad for you, you should probably get one of those. That's just a little advice. So yeah, I know that.

Seemyshell (16:06.579)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (16:10.537)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (16:18.766)
That should be one of those polarizing things where it's like some people love it, some people hate it. Conversation, man, just looking for some conversation.

Seemyshell (16:21.277)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Conversation pieces, new, innovative, like, you know, change. Sometimes change is a good thing to a certain degree. Like, it keeps things fresh. It keeps things new. So, that's what I like. Another question for you then I have in regards to this. Again, because guys, like, you know, this is not in the show notes, so Rob is hitting me, Rob is hitting me, and I've just got these questions popping off the top of my head. No.

Rob (16:41.71)
No. Yeah.

Rob (16:46.358)
Just don't run us out of time. Okay, there's more stuff to talk about. Yeah.

Seemyshell (16:50.379)
No, I know, well 16 minutes in, we're right, we're right. So the question I have then, Rob, is so everyone out there who's like, you know, oh, yep, I'm a level five clan, we've always been a level five clan, we've had level, we've capped level five up for the last six, 12 months, whatever it is, you know, roughly the requirements are gonna be of equal hardness or, you know, difficulty, sorry, difficulty hardness, what am I saying? Equal difficulty for level four, five, six, et cetera.

Rob (17:20.238)
Yeah, um, you know that that's part of my experiment every month is trying to find where is that balance. So, you know, with the daily greenies coming out, and the crates and all that stuff, people go and Oh, no, he's gonna go nuts with, you know, making greenie caps like insane. I don't know, did it happen? Did it happen for March? I don't know. So there's going I did promise that I wouldn't go crazy with the

Seemyshell (17:26.091)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (17:29.705)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (17:37.865)
Mm.

Mm -hmm.

You

Rob (17:49.934)
I said that last week or week before, but that's true. That's true. So I will say though that, you know, we're just trying to keep everything level. So whatever it is with the scatter points and everything should fit in, in line with what, what other points have always been required. I hope that I didn't overshoot too far.

Seemyshell (17:50.877)
Yes, yeah, you did. You did. You promised Sarah. You promised Sarah from the Munzee Maniacs podcast. Yeah.

Seemyshell (18:05.779)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (18:19.433)
Right, okay.

Rob (18:19.598)
But it is going to be challenging for those who are level four, five, six. Absolutely going to push. I'm going to push people. Yeah.

Seemyshell (18:22.923)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I'll let you know now again, my new referral, I keep on referring to my new referral because she's going fantastic to be honest with you. Mind you, she's reaching out to me left, right and center. She calls me her Yoda. So, you know, so, but she's, she hasn't even been a Munzee player for a month, Rob. Not even a month yet, right? She's been three weeks Munzee player and she is, she started a clan by herself to see what clan wars was like by herself. She's done level four.

Rob (18:36.43)
Hahaha.

Rob (18:51.534)
Oh, okay, wow.

Seemyshell (18:53.739)
Oh, I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to all the level fours out there. No, cause I want you to make it harder for her.

Rob (18:57.12)
Why, no, that's -

Oh, right. Exactly. No, that's I used to work hard myself just in my own solo clan, just so I could see how difficult things were. But that's actually that's good to know. So new player in an active area. So making it to level four. Yeah, that's OK. That's OK.

Seemyshell (19:06.761)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. So...

Mm -hmm extremely active. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, so there you go. There you go. All right Rob We got to move on now because we are running a little bit now because I'm my questions anyway We've got these new flash mobs. What a flash mob is wrong

Rob (19:32.214)
Yeah, so we had flash mobs as far as when this goes live for the players, they will be looking back and wishing that they either kept more or saying that they are super tired from how many they kept. So we have the pie ribbit by ribbit. You see how that goes? The pie ribbit, which was a frog and the pogo pirate, which was sort of a peg legged pirate that hopped around the map. So these

Seemyshell (19:34.761)
Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Ah.

Seemyshell (19:44.297)
Okay.

Laughter

Seemyshell (19:54.803)
Mm -hmm. That's cool.

Rob (19:57.942)
flash mobs are kind of like in the past we had like we had a flocking of the map where we put flamingos out on the map a couple of years ago. We've done different things, the pillow fight stuff like that, that they invade the map and they land on every single greenie and all of the virtual colors. And so you you wake up basically, as soon as it goes live, you go, Oh, my gosh, what happened to the map? Everyone freaks out and we love it. I think it's hilarious myself. So

Seemyshell (20:04.011)
Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Yes.

Seemyshell (20:21.643)
What?

Seemyshell (20:26.091)
Yeah, yeah.

Rob (20:27.458)
this one was on the map because of leap day because it happens every four years. And leap day being the theme frogs jumping, you know, that kind of thing. Yeah. So that's what we leaned into. Yeah. Had a little bit of fun. Yeah. And so conversation piece for everyone. How many did you cap? You know, if you've if you have taken advantage of what we've been doing,

Seemyshell (20:31.659)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (20:37.511)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it. Mm -hmm. Yep.

Seemyshell (20:46.475)
Yeah, exactly.

Rob (20:53.134)
for the month of February, which was that focus on those greenies and the fact that they were coming back onto the map. If you went out and you deployed a bunch of greenies, lucky you, because guess what? They all turned into this. Oh man, what?

Seemyshell (20:54.859)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (21:02.859)
Oh yes.

So even your own, Rob. So if you placed your own greenie out there, it turns into one of these and you can cap it.

Rob (21:13.902)
That's a great question. And you know what? That probably will have come up on the water cooler and we will have answered it. So future me has the correct answer. Trapped and backed out.

Seemyshell (21:15.403)
laughter

Seemyshell (21:21.417)
Okay.

Okay, okay. See, right, this is the reason why you need to put more on the show notes so I can question you like this and put you on the spot, but no, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Now, another question I have in that case, because I remember the ones in the past, I remember the pillow fight in the past, are there special badges for capping a certain amount, Rob? Yes. Mm -hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And what were they?

Rob (21:33.326)
Yeah, no.

All good. Yeah.

Rob (21:46.862)
Yes, yes there are or were. Yes. So the, the, there were several of them. I, I put together a few notes because this was going to be in the past, you know, us talking about something that everyone saw. I didn't write the name of the notes down. Everything kicked off on, on Wednesday.

Seemyshell (21:55.595)
Oh, there you go.

Mm -hmm.

Rob (22:12.526)
And, um, went into it. It ran basically like Australia through California leap day hours. So it did start early so that it's kind of one of those surprise, surprise, you know, like, Hey, yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (22:12.755)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (22:19.307)
Yep. Yeah.

Seemyshell (22:24.939)
Oh yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair enough. See now people out there, I have been accused Rob of being a Munzee plant, believe it or not. Right there people, right there, you should see that Rob, he's not even, he's forgoing. I mean, we're recording this on Tuesday. So it's 24 hours, less than 24 hours until this happens. Or no, it's, yeah, 24 hours, 24 hours this will happen, yet he still won't give it away to me, one person, one.

Rob (22:34.222)
Oh, really?

Rob (22:42.062)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (22:47.278)
Yeah, yeah.

Rob (22:52.782)
Nope. Yep.

Seemyshell (22:54.473)
So there you go, I am not a Munzee plant. Nope. Nope. See? See? There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Wow, people see if that doesn't, I'm not even a Munzee shrub. I'm not even a Munzee weed, let alone a plant. Just saying. Anyway, all right, Rob. What did they land on? If that's the case then. You said greenies?

Rob (22:58.03)
You do not have access to any of this information and I am not sharing it with you. And I gave myself, like I said, light notes. There they are.

Rob (23:13.902)
It's true.

Rob (23:21.886)
Green. Yeah. And really, it's there. They're sort of like the cap there are not a cap mask that just sits on top of all the greenies and the virtual colors. So the white virtual and all sixty four of the colors. Yeah.

Seemyshell (23:29.523)
Mm -hmm. Yes. Oh, virtual colors. Very good, very good. So there you go. All right, moving on then, since you won't give any more away, tell us more about the new Storyland myth.

Rob (23:40.302)
That's right.

So, you know, that whole in honor of leap day, once again, we have the frog Prince. So story land myth. So the new myth myth. And so this is one of those player on bouncers that is available through the online store. It's the frog Prince. That's the story this time. And so he's out there bouncing around the map, hopping, leaping, whatever frogs do. He's doing that.

Seemyshell (23:47.113)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (24:00.425)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (24:04.329)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (24:10.923)
So how can people obtain this new story land myth?

Rob (24:13.996)
just through the online store. $20. And yes, yeah, sorry, Aussies.

Seemyshell (24:16.587)
20 USD, 20 USD. Because unfortunately, yeah, Australians at the moment are struggling with the US dollar, so the poor things, they're really struggling. And how long does it last for then if you purchase this myth? So it's a forever one. Well, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah. As long as all the others. Permanent. So it's a POP.

Rob (24:24.91)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (24:29.774)
forever. I shouldn't say forever because that's a pretty long time. But you know, yeah. As long as all the other normal this is a permanent play around bouncer. Yeah. Yes, that's the one.

Seemyshell (24:42.965)
permanent player and bouncer. Very good, very good. So there you go guys. Make sure you get to the store ASAP and get your own Frog Prince Myth $20 USD. All right Rob, we're gonna move along now to the Munzee question of the week. And this one came from Gliss in Australia. And she's been rich, she's been going to other location based gaming events, et cetera as well. And they are a big advocate for Munzee. They do love Munzee. There's a group of them out there. And they're saying to people, you know,

Try Munzee, and a lot of people out there have said, oh, I like myself from, they said, oh, I tried Munzee five or six years ago and I didn't like it, it's just QR codes and I don't like it. And they said, try it again. So they try and log back in, but then they can't because they've used an old email address or they've got trouble with, because you guys changed as well, so it's no longer a username and it was actually an email address.

Rob (25:25.676)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (25:38.635)
And some people don't have access to their email addresses, especially in Australia, especially the old people. But anyway, what can people do? Do they have to start up a new account or can they actually resurrect their old account with their old numbers?

Rob (25:52.718)
Yeah, please do not set up a new account like that's completely unnecessary. All that you need to do instead is just send an email into support. I would say push the button in the app. But guess what, they're not logged in. So they can't. So in the support email, we need to know your username, which hopefully you do know. It would be really nice if you sent us your old email address, and then your new email address. If you can send us those three things, then we're able to verify.

Seemyshell (25:57.481)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (26:05.213)
No.

Seemyshell (26:10.955)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (26:22.446)
that you are the one you are the owner of the account and we can help you get the new password set up and get you in and play in as soon as possible.

Seemyshell (26:22.633)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (26:32.523)
There you go, so that's as easy said than done. And if people can just send the email, what is it? Is it support at munzee .com? Yep. There you go. All nice and easy, all said and done. Very, very good, Rob. All right, moving on now to the Munzee Tip of the Week. And it kind of refers to that as well. And that is getting more people and friends involved in your Munzee and growing your community. This tip came mostly from, obviously, Gliss, et cetera, as well, and what they're doing.

Rob (26:38.926)
Yeah, just support at munzee .com. Nice and easy.

Seemyshell (27:01.547)
and they're doing exactly what it should be and that is word of mouth. Word of mouth, I think, Rob, is the best form personally, and this is tips from me mostly, is the best form of advertising, you know, chatting to your friends, chatting to your family, or other like -minded people at other events that you may be at. It's a great way to grow the community. Don't forget, if you're introducing new players, Rob, and this is what I said to Gliss as well, if she's actually introducing new players, don't forget to get the old.

your QR code, referral code, scan from them and get their referral because you're doing all the hard work Rob. They're out there, they're advertising Munzee themselves, you know, like myself, you know, and then same with me, like my new referral, she scanned my QR code and she's a referral, I want her to play. The more she plays, the more points I get, you see, and a lot of people don't understand that. So the...

But at the same time, it is hard work because you become their mentor. She messages me so much saying, what about this? What about this? What do I do for here? What do I do for there? So you become their mentor. So you deserve the points, Rob. So that's my tip. That's my tip of the week for your community service and community work towards Munzee. You know, get the word out there, Rob. So yeah, same.

Rob (27:57.196)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Rob (28:06.574)
I agree.

Rob (28:14.734)
Absolutely. And the other piece of it, you know, is that if you refer someone and they do come to you and you are their Yoda and you're kind of tired of that person or you're like, Hey, you know, I like you and all but Monday water cooler or throw them on discord and then and then mute them. There you go. That's all I can say. Yeah. Indeed.

Seemyshell (28:18.867)
Mm.

Seemyshell (28:27.211)
Yeah.

Yes. Yes.

There you go. Easier said than done. But in non -no, yeah, there are other services out there. Even there's apparently there's a YouTube channel out there, Rob, you know, the Aussie Geocache, I see my shell has beginning tutorials too. So yeah, there's other places out there which can help you assist brand new Munzee players. So yeah, well said, Rob, well said. So Rob, guess what? That ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (28:45.644)
Huh.

Rob (28:57.678)
We made it?
