Seemyshell (00:01.454)
Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.
Rob (00:04.032)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.
Seemyshell (00:07.758)
And I'm Craig, also known as SeeMyshell. I'm an avid Munzee player and I'm here to explore the game further.
Rob (00:13.44)
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 (00:20.526)
So please sit back, relax, be calm, stay off the water cooler, listen to what we have to say. Today's going to be a little bit of a big show and it's going to be a different show because we're not different, Rob. It's going to be on the normal pain is what's actually coming up in, uh, in Munzee, not what's been, but what's coming up in Munzee. So, but before we go there, what's been happening with you? Did you like that segway?
Rob (00:27.872)
Ha ha!
Rob (00:40.832)
Well, alright.
Rob (00:45.184)
I do. Thanks very much. And hello, good to see you again. And thanks everyone for listening. Tune in because we're going to have some fun today. I have been up to well, everything really revolves around cappy, doesn't it these days? I've been enjoying my daily stroll, mainly just out there, depending on the day and what I've got going on, just capping as many as I can.
Seemyshell (01:01.166)
It does.
Seemyshell (01:05.87)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (01:10.638)
Yeah. Yeah.
Rob (01:15.232)
Uh, then not sweating it if they go too far. For example, today I went out walking, I was testing some stuff and started my stroll much closer to the river than I usually do. I could only get four before they were scattered on the far side of the river and I was not turning around to get there.
Seemyshell (01:19.47)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (01:26.702)
Oh no. Yeah?
Seemyshell (01:34.83)
Exactly. And so this is what you do, Rob. And we said this in the special Munzee podcast that we did specially 45 minute Rob. That's the longest we've ever been, you know? Um, yeah, just don't sweat it. I mean, mate, I've been doing the same thing. My best day this week, cause it's only been out seven days. The best day for me has been 12 in one day. And I was super excited. I did, I did use the, what do you call it? The Rover treats and also the booster as well. The radius boost up. Yeah. Yeah. To get those 12.
Rob (01:41.216)
Yes.
Rob (01:59.552)
Did you? Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (02:02.638)
And I have done it on a bike. I've done it in a car. I've done it on foot. The 12 was on foot, Rob. It was on foot. Yeah. In my local sort of walking area where I walk for the greenies. So maybe that's telling me something. Uh, the worst day for me has been four, you know? So, but still, but still the worst day of four is still better than nothing, Rob. You know what I mean? So at the end of the day, people, some people can start this and not go outside, start it in your home. And I can guarantee, almost guarantee you'll get at least.
Rob (02:09.216)
Wow.
Rob (02:18.56)
Oh yeah.
Rob (02:22.88)
Mm -hmm. It's true.
Seemyshell (02:31.79)
one surely, you know what I mean? So that's it people take it for what it is and just enjoy it. Exactly. Rob also, uh, this week I've listened to you on the Monday maniacs podcast. Now I'll say this. They did not live up to their name, Rob. They were not maniacs towards you. I was there. I was on, I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for PJ to PJ his pants.
Rob (02:39.008)
I so much yes just enjoy or try to. Yeah.
Seemyshell (03:00.974)
And say to you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But he didn't. He sort of said, you know, Oh, Rob, you're doing everything right. You're so good. Blah, blah, blah. I'm like, come on PJ. Where's the, where's the, where's this going with it? No, there's no, there was no fire there. Rob. I was, I was a bit disappointed with PJ to be honest with you. I thought there'd be more.
Rob (03:11.552)
Where's the fire, right? Yeah.
Rob (03:18.592)
Well, you know, he likes to battle with you, I think, and with me, he likes to keep his account live so he doesn't battle with me. No, he and I had really good times. So, yeah, if people haven't listened to the Munzee Maniacs podcast, please do. You'll get a slightly different view on a few things, which is great. And you know what? We talked, we actually went in a completely different direction than I thought we would.
Seemyshell (03:21.742)
This is true.
Hahaha!
Seemyshell (03:34.19)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (03:37.966)
Yeah. Yep.
Rob (03:46.464)
And it's stuff that I've actually never talked about before. So I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna go into detail now because I've already talked about it. But you know, it's, it's a good way for us to really put resources out and grow the community. So if, if people are interested in that and you've never listened to that podcast, this is a good one to start with.
Seemyshell (03:52.782)
Yeah, exactly. Go and listen to it.
Seemyshell (03:59.31)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (04:05.518)
Exactly. Exactly. It's a very different. I mean, this podcast, Rob is meant to be an informative podcast. This is like re us reading the blog, what's coming up, what's happening, you know, that sort of thing. Whereas their podcast, it's a little bit more, it's not weekly as such. It's a bit, a little bit more sporadic. But then again, there are three people who've got real jobs, you know, who, you know, that sort of thing. So they've got, when they get time, they can, they can talk about it, but it's their own experiences and it's in a totally different country too. So if you have not listened to the Munzee Mania's podcast, why not?
Rob (04:11.648)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (04:23.936)
Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (04:35.214)
Make sure you have a look on all the apps and I believe if it's not on one of the apps, just let them know. Um, someone was having trouble with Amazon apparently. They're not on Amazon podcast. So I'll reach out to Kevin about that. So anyway, what else am I doing? Rob? Well, as of tomorrow being Saturday, I'm starting my official road trip to Minnesota. Yes. I'm driving. So it's a road trip. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think I'll be, do you think I'll be capping along the way? Absolutely.
Rob (04:59.904)
Wow. Well.
Rob (05:04.512)
Yeah, so if anyone wants to watch your progress, then that's one way to do it. I am starting my trip to Minnesota next week on Monday, but I'm not driving. I'll be flying. We're going to spend a little time with my son in Florida. I'm going to use it as my home base for some of the events that are coming up. Yeah, so I look forward to seeing you there.
Seemyshell (05:09.262)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (05:16.078)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (05:28.078)
Mm -hmm. And speaking, yes, you too, my, and speaking of events, et cetera, let's get into the week that was events we had in USA. We're in Florida and in Texas. That's all they had in the U S but in the world we had.
Rob (05:35.04)
Yeah.
Rob (05:41.728)
In the world, Germany add to Lithuania, Denmark, Victoria, Australia, and South Australia on Tuesday.
Seemyshell (05:49.582)
Look at that too in Australia, same as what they had in the U S I'm very proud. Rob, uh, the leaderboards over the weekend. This is very special. These leaderboards I'll say this and we'll leave it till Sunday, but Friday we had KWD on 459 ,000 points that OTECH on 387 ,000 points and XP two on 306 ,000 points Saturday.
Rob (05:54.592)
That's good.
Rob (06:12.704)
Saturday was KWD 568 ,000 Addis 523 ,000 and Coal Cracker 7 519 ,000.
Seemyshell (06:14.67)
Ha ha.
Seemyshell (06:23.278)
And on Sunday to round out the trifecta KWD again, three days in a row on a full weekend, 481 ,000 points. Uh, my, one of my favorite names to read out is Jaroslav Kas on 437 ,000 and Schmitz Fam came in third on 374 ,000. So well done to all those who are on the leaderboard, the top 100 on each day Rob I'll say, but a special shout out to KWD three days in a row.
Rob (06:29.312)
Wow.
Rob (06:38.272)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (06:53.198)
being on top. That's a lot.
Rob (06:53.312)
Yeah, that's an assault on the leaderboard is what that is. When you take first place three days in a row, like that is not a common thing. So well done.
Seemyshell (06:56.782)
That really is. Yeah.
On a double point weekend as well. So that's really cool. Current events coming up this weekend itself. Now you're ready for USA. We have Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, California, North and South Carolina, Indiana, Florida, Kansas, and New Hampshire. Wow.
Rob (07:17.568)
Wow. And out there in the world, only Norway. I mean, yay Norway, but it's the only one in the world.
Seemyshell (07:24.462)
But it's exactly the, well, apart from the U S anyway, don't forget the large events coming up. And again, I've said this last week as well. We have five, yes, five events in Greenville, South Carolina for Pike's spice. Um, I believe it might be his birthday and that's the reason why he's having five. That's pretty cool. 50. Don't say 50. Like it's a, I'm going to be there next year or just saying.
Rob (07:28.704)
Oh yes, outside the US, yeah, good point.
Rob (07:43.84)
Yes. It's turning 50. Yeah.
Rob (07:50.368)
I'm getting close too, but yeah.
Seemyshell (07:52.814)
We don't, we only get close to 50. We don't get away from it anyway. Uh, that's on May the second to the fourth. As I said before, there's actually three events on Saturday, the fourth. So if you can only get there for one day, at least get there for the Saturday, the fourth. That's a lot of cake, Rob. There's 17, 17 people going so far. So there you go. A lot of cake to had, uh, on, then we have in star Wars day, Rob.
Rob (07:56.288)
Thank you.
Rob (08:06.656)
Yes it is.
Rob (08:14.752)
May the fourth be with you. In England, there will be an event and the question that we've got is if it's going to be yet another mega in the Midlands located in England.
Seemyshell (08:16.718)
Oh, there you go.
Seemyshell (08:21.486)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (08:25.646)
Well, well, there's 52 I'm going so far, so far, so good. So there you go. Good work to the English. I'm very rare to give credit where credit's due Rob, especially when it comes to British people. But you know what, like, you know, I am, I am an official convict just saying, uh, in Minneapolis on May the 10th to the 12th, we have Munzee mania with myself and Rob will be there. It's been a big jump in numbers, Rob, because they did a shout out on their Facebook pages.
Rob (08:29.824)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Rob (08:38.656)
They're doing it. They've got it down. Yep.
Seemyshell (08:54.83)
to say look, you know, if you're going, click I'm going. So there's 52 there so far as well for Minneapolis, May 10th to 12th. And I'm looking forward to that. Next on after that, Rob.
Rob (09:04.736)
the next one is one that I'm also very excited about so you and I are gonna be at both of these events back in Munzeymania and then we're headed to Flagstaff Arizona May 24th to the 26th there are 23 people on so far but we know that there will be many many more people and I'm gonna be there with my referral cards in hand I know you will be too
Seemyshell (09:08.622)
Mm -hmm.
Yeah.
Seemyshell (09:16.526)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (09:27.502)
Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Rob (09:30.048)
The people that are coming, be sure that you've got those referral cards before you go and that you have them on you because that's the way that we can reach out that we can let people know about Munzee because there are a lot of people who are geocachers. We'll just say it that have just they've never even heard of Munzee. So it isn't that everyone out there that's a geocacher hates Munzee. It's just that they don't know about it yet.
Seemyshell (09:45.518)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.
Rob (09:56.416)
There are people who don't like it because you know they it's more like it's more like a micro cash. Everything is so we get that because geocaching is a different experience and it's more about the experience sometimes where Munzee is about the points and competition and all that as we all know. But they have to be introduced to it before they can make a judgment about it and with Cappy and all the new stuff that's going on players can play anywhere around the world. So these.
Seemyshell (09:56.654)
Oh, yeah, each to their own. Yep. Yeah.
Seemyshell (10:06.222)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (10:10.542)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (10:19.342)
Exactly.
Seemyshell (10:24.398)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (10:25.248)
these new players, they'll have something to do. So anyway, sorry rant, but it's a nice one because just looking for people to spread the word, that's it.
Seemyshell (10:30.254)
That's right.
Seemyshell (10:35.854)
And Rob, there's other people out there like myself. And I'm telling you now I've had at least five or six people that I know of personally that have joined back up with Munzee that, you know, we used to play in 2015, 16, 17, when literally there were only sort of physicals, not, it wasn't a big virtuals on the game. And we've come back and then the five or six people that have reached out to me, they've come back because they've seen me come back and you know, and they, so people get excited by your excitement. So you show them the game.
as it is today. You never know. You never know. You may, Rob, you may get, you may be like Joshua, the geocaching vlogger, for instance, and get a referral player like myself who you can go and watch a movie. I'm still, I'm still a little bit cranky, but I'm not cranky. Um, he goes and watches a movie and gets 200 ,000 points cause I'm capping, you know, so there you go. You can get a referral like that. People just say exactly.
Rob (11:25.312)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (11:29.088)
It's difficult, but you can.
Seemyshell (11:30.958)
Exactly. Oh, we can't forget either Minneapolis and in flag stuff. You're going to have some big players there too, Rob. You're going to have people like W Helen is going to be there. The J .K. Cushing vlog is going to be both of those. You got Minnesota boy who does all the other videos as well. He's going to be at both of those too. So come on guys, let's go Minneapolis and then flag stuff, Arizona. And then if you want Hampshire, UK, June 14 to 16th. So it's a couple of months away, but in the Hampshire. So if you're thinking about coming to the UK,
Rob (11:55.424)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (12:00.75)
June 14th to 16th is probably a good time to go, just saying.
Rob (12:04.032)
Nice mild weather during during the middle of June, which is nice. So yeah, check it out. That's the mid summer events that are happening and 31 so far on that have a feeling that that number will continue to grow. And yeah, it's it's on my it's on my radar. I know. Yeah, I knew you were gonna. Yeah, same, same thing. It's right there on the radar. The that that time period is
Seemyshell (12:05.838)
Mmm.
Seemyshell (12:11.182)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (12:19.086)
Are you are you planning? Yeah. What about Lou? What about Lou? Same.
Rob (12:30.656)
is a little tight on activities. My son's birthday is the following weekend. And so it's really a question of what's going to be happening. He's actually coming over here. So yeah, so yeah. So while he won't be here quite then, so it's just a question of how many things can fit into a very short couple of weeks for us.
Seemyshell (12:41.486)
Oh, bring him along.
Seemyshell (12:52.206)
Fair enough, fair enough. All right, Rob, that's the week that was. We're gonna move on to, again, we've had a few developments this week, it's just saying. Firstly and foremost, I'll say this, the Muns DeLorean mailbox. I will say, Rob, a massive, a massive shout out to Andy for the Muns DeLorean and to Dylan as well with the naming and all that sort of stuff too, to the whole team. But I'm telling you, Rob, I saw this, not just me.
I had three other people personally reach out to me, text me, text message me privately and go, Oh my God, Craig, I need one. I need one. I need one. Like, where do you, where do you guys get up with these, these names and the styles and everything else? You know, let alone Rob, let alone someone messaged me and said, Craig, I know you do the stickers and stuff in the store. I need a sticker of that Boba Boba Fet T you know, Boba T the Boba T scatter. You know, I'm like, Oh dude, again, like.
Rob (13:40.896)
Oh yeah, the Boa Tee, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Seemyshell (13:47.758)
Wow. That's what I say is, wow, you guys, I'm telling you, you're on the, you're on the edge all the time. You know, something new all the time. I love it. So tell us anyway, tell us about the mailbox. I'm already fretting over here. So there you go.
Rob (13:58.656)
Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's the kind of thing where truly us recording and actually sharing one of our planning meetings would probably be, I don't know, but actually, probably everyone might even expect the way that it goes, because sometimes they it turns into like the craziest, just ideas back and forth that are flowing everywhere.
And it used to be like my favorite thing about being in the office. It was everyone else's least favorite thing because once we got ideas going, I just bounced from one office to the next and interrupted everyone all day long. And now we can find that to these planning meetings that we have. And yeah, it's just a lot of fun. So, so the Muns DeLorean mailbox came about because we were doing May the fourth.
Seemyshell (14:33.71)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (14:40.686)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (14:50.592)
Uh, as, as you know, the plan and last year we did the dark side mailbox. So the conversation was about, well, what about some light aside? You know, some. The good guys piece. And, um, and so anyway, the, the idea, the idea got pitched about Muns DeLorean and, um, none of us heard because it was just, you know, it's audio. And so none of us heard it the way that, that.
Seemyshell (14:50.734)
Oh, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Seemyshell (14:55.246)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (14:58.99)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (15:18.56)
Robbie pitched the original idea about it being the DeLorean from Back to the Future as the design. And then once it was written out, like he wrote it to us in our chat channel and it was like, oh, there it is. So it's this crossover between the Mandalorian and the DeLorean from Back to the Future. So yeah, we're excited about it. I can't even begin to tell you how.
Seemyshell (15:23.438)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (15:31.438)
Ohhhh
Yeah.
Seemyshell (15:39.182)
I love it. I love it.
Rob (15:48.512)
how much fun we're going to have with it. And if you enjoy the art of this, there are, it's 27, 28 cards, something like that. So if you think that Dylan's been creative with where we've gone so far with previous mailboxes and cards and designs, just wait. I mean, we're all amazed at what he comes up with. So.
Seemyshell (15:51.214)
Mm.
Seemyshell (15:58.702)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (16:11.822)
Now these, these mailboxes guys, they are available in the store. And as I said, I'm a player first and foremost, I'm not selling it here. Okay. I'm just giving you that straight. I've got one. I bought one myself because I love it. And I love a mailbox. They're 25 USD, US dollars, 25 US dollars in your store. You can buy them anywhere from now until I don't know when, but he better off the sooner you buy them, the better because you can place them and you get 10 points or something each time you cap it daily until the May the fourth.
Rob (16:17.6)
Thank you.
Seemyshell (16:39.438)
From May the fourth onwards, each day you cap it, something special happens. And there's a, uh, is this a full section of the, on the watch new? Is it, or what is it that Rob? Yeah. You've actually put it out, haven't you? Like on the blog.
Rob (16:50.304)
Yeah, so we put out the special schedule of the Scatters and the DoublePoint weekends that are gonna be available. We released that on the blog for those that don't like to read the blog. You can go to the What's New section of the app and there is a link that will take you to the blog. So you can read it on the blog. There's a social post about it as well. That is where you can find all of that.
Seemyshell (16:53.774)
That's it, the schedule.
Seemyshell (16:58.222)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (17:18.318)
That information is right there. And one biggest, one of the biggest questions I did notice a lot of people, some people don't know what a mailbox are. Like, you know, my new referral, for instance, she's got her first mailbox now and she's excited about it. Why? Because she got it and she was here in New Jersey. She had to fly to California for three or four day work trip. You can move it with you people. So it's going to, I'm excited, Rob. I start my road trip on Saturday. Guess what? I'm going to be in a different location every single day. It's going to move along with me every single day.
I did put a video out there on my channel's guys as well. After Sam reached out to me, Sam, he's the man. He gave us like the cup of Z app is incredible. Gave us a little special button to where to find it every single day. Cause it goes off your map after you found it. Like any other normal virtual Munzee, if you're a premium member, but there's a button on cup of Z whereby for me, Rob, I don't know where I'm going to be tonight or the next night, whatever else as well. So I can click back and go, there it is, grab it and move to where I am. So.
Rob (18:03.936)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (18:14.51)
Good, good work, Sam. Great job for doing that. So yes, it can move with you every single day. There's no limit to how many times you want it to move. You want it to move three times a day. You can, but when you do move it, don't click, do not, do not click on deploy. You click edit location, edit location, edit location. I had to say it three times, Rob, because therefore then it gets in people's minds. Don't click on deploy because you'll lose it. So edit location is what you need anyway.
Rob (18:29.344)
You
Seemyshell (18:41.326)
You said before Rob about the double points weekend for the mailbox owners, but there is double points for non mailbox owners as well.
Rob (18:50.24)
Yes, yeah, so changing it up a little bit for everyone for the month of May. I don't know, maybe we call it an appreciation event where we're going to give double points to all players. We're just going to reserve the weekends for those players who go above and beyond. They're the ones who have that mailbox. So the ones with the mailboxes will have Friday through Sunday.
Seemyshell (18:53.134)
Mmm.
Seemyshell (18:59.886)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (19:13.806)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (19:18.656)
Everyone will have Wednesday and Thursday. So for those people that are looking to deploy cards and all that kind of stuff, your Wednesdays and Thursdays, if you are not part of the mailbox.
Seemyshell (19:31.086)
Well, here's, here's a couple of questions for you, Rob. First and foremost, you just mentioned it. And then this, this one is not on the actual show notes. You just said everyone. So I'm a mailbox owner. So I get the double points as well during the week as well. Oh, there we go. I didn't see, I didn't read it that way when I first read it. That's pretty cool. Um, now if you, if you don't own a mailbox, that's fine. You know, it doesn't matter. It's, you know, I mean, how long, how many years, Rob, or how many months has it been?
Rob (19:43.936)
Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (19:58.286)
You've had these double point weekends. You haven't had them for that long, to be honest with you. So back, back in the day, there was no such thing as double point weekend. So at all. So you can play like you did yesterday, that sort of thing.
Rob (20:09.312)
Yeah, the month of April, you know, we've done it every weekend for everyone because of the flower power events. Everyone knows, you know, that we do that kind of thing to encourage events to be held and attendance and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, this is us encouraging people to help us out by investing in the game. And, you know, it's the kind of thing that we need. And so this is how we're rolling for the month of May.
Seemyshell (20:13.39)
Mmm. Yeah. Exactly.
Seemyshell (20:20.75)
Mm -hmm.
Yeah, exactly.
Seemyshell (20:31.278)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (20:37.39)
Perfect. Perfect. So you don't own the mailbox. That's fine. It's not a problem. That's it is the way it is. You know, there's no, but there's still something for you. So I normally, Rob, I normally deploy my cards before the double point weekend anyway. So I'm going to get double points on my deploy. If I deploy them during the week, for instance, and then if you're not a mailbox holder, then you just get normal cap on points after that. So don't, don't not deploy cards out of spite. I'll just say that because it's not worth it. I'll say that. I'll say that Rob.
Rob (21:02.56)
Uh, yeah. You say that, that's fine. I say, hey, you do you to everyone out there. I get it. I get it. Everyone's got choices to make. No problem.
Seemyshell (21:08.11)
Yeah. You know, the reason, you know, the reason why I said that Rob, I'm just saying it at us at us and don't do it out of spite. You know, uh, if you don't want to don't, don't place cards, don't place cards, but Rob, I'm, I'm going to Minnesota, mate. I need the cards. I'll just say, I need the car. I do. I do.
Rob (21:18.656)
Oh yeah.
Rob (21:25.152)
Oh, they'll be there and you know that and so do I so Here's the good news though right now as this is gone live There is a double point weekend for everyone because guess what? It's still April so double points are on right now Just get your fill quick everyone because you've got tempverts that are that are on this that will be out for the full month of April or May and oh Don't think don't forget about that. Don't sleep on it. Um, I
Seemyshell (21:31.182)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
There is!
Seemyshell (21:48.942)
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Rob (21:53.44)
cards, tempverts, flats, greenies, and this time for the first time we've got places included in the Double Point weekend.
Seemyshell (21:57.87)
Yeah.
Oh, places being POI is being the orange ones that you can cap every single day for those people out there who go, what's what the places? Yeah, they're the ones. So you can cap them every single day. They're orange and virtual.
Rob (22:05.248)
Yeah.
Rob (22:10.88)
So we announced this back in March, right? And it seemed like, oh man, this is crazy. Like why places? It's such a weird thing. And it's because we had something special coming up for everyone. So let's talk about the two things that we also announced on Thursday this week about not only the new place, but what are we doing with places for the future? Check it out.
Seemyshell (22:15.246)
Mm -hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Seemyshell (22:21.582)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (22:29.006)
Heheheheh
Seemyshell (22:38.094)
This, I could not believe this Rob, this is a pretty cool place. So everyone, if you haven't read the blog, we're here for you. Places points will be doubled, yes, doubled from Monday the 29th. And guess what? Permanently. That's right. That's the going forward with permanent double points. So that you got 80 points in for a deploy instead of the 40. You got 40 points for a cap instead of the 20. And you got 20 points for the cap on instead of the 10. You also get 10 points now for a garden POI instead of the five.
for the cap on see Rob I've got you man I've got you see I know this game more than we think yeah exactly exactly so this was this was in the response to the um the daily greenies coming back so now the POIs are worth technically they're worth more than a greenie now so there you go Rob we're gonna move on to the latest the latest POI because I got a couple of questions for you let's talk about the latest POI there's another one
Rob (23:09.376)
Yes.
Rob (23:13.152)
I mean, you're there, so...
Rob (23:34.272)
Well, so man, this has been a conversation for a long time and lots of people have asked for this in various different ways. So, well, we put it together. It's the pit stop. And this is a throwback to every trip I ever took with my dad. Oh, gotta pull over, need to make a pit stop. You know, I mean, the word pit stop is used many, many different ways around the world, but specifically even in the world of racing,
Seemyshell (23:42.286)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (23:54.638)
Yep. Yep.
Rob (24:03.36)
They have pit stops, you know, stop, stop your car, pull over, do whatever thing you may need to do. So we're we're doing the same thing with this. And I'll just kind of give you the basics real quick. Obviously, it's available in the freeze tag store. It costs ten dollars one per 15 days. The rules apply the same as all of the other.
Seemyshell (24:03.438)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.
Seemyshell (24:15.534)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (24:33.088)
POIs. So everything about it is the same, all the points and everything else. Yeah, so there's the basics.
Seemyshell (24:41.006)
Yep. Now the question I have then for you, Rob, as well as what actually constitutes one of these pit stops? Is it just literally, is it, I'll put it bluntly, is it public bathrooms?
Rob (24:50.72)
Yes, so here's the way that we're putting it on the blog. And I'll try and read it nicely, okay? Here's my nice voice. The purpose of this specific POI is to help people like you, you, everyone who's listening, that might need to find a public restroom, okay? So.
Seemyshell (24:57.166)
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (25:08.974)
Hmm.
Rob (25:16.704)
Um, this would not necessarily be used for places that are super obvious and everywhere in the U S is super obvious. Okay. Every grocery store, every target, every gas station, every hotel, every, like you can literally go anywhere in the U S as a public restroom. So, so what might be helpful in this is, this is what we're hoping people will use this for it. It's going to be, you know,
Seemyshell (25:24.878)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (25:31.214)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (25:35.31)
pretty much.
Rob (25:45.92)
checked by players, I suppose, as we play, is the public restroom. So for example, here in Marlowe, there is a public restroom in the park at the bottom of the high street. Up the high street, there are no public restrooms. You can't go into any places. You can go into one of the pubs and you can buy a drink, but you can't just go in to use it, okay? So this is good for rest stops, as they're called in the US. It's services here in the...
Seemyshell (25:55.022)
Right. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Seemyshell (26:03.758)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (26:08.238)
Yep.
Rob (26:15.232)
I don't know the words in all the different countries, but the places where you can stop to get fuel, food, take a break, use the bathroom, whatever, water closet, all the public places, okay? Toilet, right. We are American, the company is American, so we are going to Americanize this a lot. However, we don't want this POI to be Americanized so that it is at.
Seemyshell (26:29.902)
Toilet. Toilet.
Seemyshell (26:36.398)
Yes. Yeah.
Rob (26:44.64)
every single place that you can find a toilet. Come on. That's a bit much. Yeah.
Seemyshell (26:45.262)
Every. Okay. So it's, it's more of a more of a yeah, it really is. And that's what I thought when I saw it too, Rob, I thought to myself, hang on a second. I can literally walk outside of my house where I am now and walk within a mile. And I've passed a target of past shop, right? Which is a supermarket sort of style of part two fitness first, for instance, whatever, whatever they are, you know, I've walked past five or six different rest stops per se. So this one is more useful. The actual.
Rob (27:12.384)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (27:15.694)
building specifically used for a rest stop as in a bathroom break, not just the targets or any of that sort of stuff. Yeah.
Rob (27:21.568)
it. Yes. Now, are people gonna put targets and, you know, walmarts and grocery stores around the world? Yes. And we do know that. So So is it going to happen? Yes. But we would like for it not to be flooded. If it does start to appear to be flooded, then then that's where I'll play it your way. Oh, that's not yours. You know how that goes. So we would like for it to just stay, stay nice. Also,
Seemyshell (27:30.286)
Yeah.
Okay.
Seemyshell (27:39.502)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (27:44.974)
Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (27:50.862)
Mm -hmm.
Rob (27:51.68)
just because you are a Munzee player and you would let other Munzee players into your house to use the toilet that does not make your house a public restroom. So please don't submit your house. We actually talked about that in our meeting on this one. I was just like, I can already hear a couple of the interesting play. This is my way people. So please don't do that. Thank you, everyone.
Seemyshell (27:57.646)
I'm sorry.
Seemyshell (28:19.726)
All right. There you go. Wow, Rob. I did not even think about that. Anyway, I would not go into other people's houses, especially their bathrooms. Anyway, moving on Rob, the question of the week and this question of the week, it comes because this question has been asked of you now, I think twice in total. And it's again, it's in regards to Cappy. So we're going to go back there. Okay. Cappy's size apparently on the people's screens have been an issue for some. What, what's happening with Cappy's size? What's...
Rob (28:36.096)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.
Rob (28:48.672)
So it's a good question and I think I've talked about it but not completely. So Cappy seems to be the same size on all devices. So if you have a small device then yes, he may appear to take up more of your screen. We are not finished with Cappy. So stick around, stay tuned, continue to be patient with us, do the daily stroll, even if you just let it run down.
Seemyshell (28:51.054)
Yeah.
Seemyshell (29:03.95)
Screen. Yeah.
Rob (29:16.96)
Um, there, there is more to come and we are having continued conversations about, um, Cappy, his placement and the size of him on the screen. Thank you everyone. Please be patient.
Seemyshell (29:25.358)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (29:30.702)
Just one more quick question. So what you're saying, Rob is that Cappy is not, he's not going away per se, but he may be, you know, improved. Okay.
Rob (29:41.696)
Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, what can't be improved, you know, and so we are always listening just because we don't move super fast doesn't mean that you need to have three weeks of conversation about the same old dead unicorn. So please don't beat the unicorn up too much. He's he's good. He's sticking around. Just keep on keep on watching us evolve. Cappy. All right. That's the plan.
Seemyshell (29:44.942)
Exactly. Exactly.
Seemyshell (29:53.422)
Exactly. Exactly.
Seemyshell (30:05.582)
Rob, I'm going to move on now as well with the Munzee request of the week. I started this last week, Robin, I'll tell you now, like this one here, you're going to, you're just going to laugh and you're just going to say no, but this request of the week, I've got to tell you the little quick backstory. It comes from my recent referral, AKA my wife. Um, it only happened to her two days ago, Rob, where she rang me and she's, you know, she's what works. She's in California. She's, you know, happy as Larry, so to speak, but she's over there and cause she's working and she's in California now, not.
Rob (30:21.792)
Hmm.
Seemyshell (30:34.574)
the East coast, she's on the West coast. She got home from her work and it went into the new MHQ day and she hadn't deployed. So she lost her deployment streak and, uh, and for her, the OCD runs wild when it comes to the calendar, because now she's got literally a green date, not the green and orange slash, you know? So for her, she's like, ah, that's more worrisome for her than what the actual whole strengthening is. But.
Deploy mulligans, because I've seen it as well on the water cooler and other places. Deploy mulligans. Are they ever going to be in or are they ever going to be a thing?
Rob (31:11.712)
I'm not dumb enough to actually say never or you know any of that so so nice try there but um it is very very unlikely that anyone would see that anytime soon I it sucks you know that all the different time zones but we've now got multiple places in the app where people can check the time zone it's called the camp hub you're welcome
Seemyshell (31:17.294)
you
Seemyshell (31:27.918)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (31:36.654)
Yes, exactly.
Rob (31:41.663)
Um, but yeah, I get it. People travel, people forget, um, things happen and whether it's because of OCD and the green and orange on, on the daily activity tracker or just wanting to follow through on the streaks. Yeah. Yeah. I, I get it. I broke mine a million times. Everybody, everybody knows. Yeah. So.
Seemyshell (31:43.694)
Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
Seemyshell (31:53.07)
streak badge. Yeah. Yeah.
Seemyshell (31:59.15)
Everybody does. Everybody does. All right, moving on to the Munzee Tip of the Week. And you'll see, Rob, you will see that this is actually empty. We forgot about this, but I thought about it. And I'm going to give you the Munzee Tip of the Week from me. And that is if you're ever going on a road trip, people like I'm doing coming up right now, purchase yourself or get yourself some destination renovations. Because as you go along these major highways, et cetera, as well, you'll see that most or a lot of them are not up to the five yet.
Well, some of them are, but we'll discuss that later. But some of them aren't. And so to assure you yourself to get a room, a permanent room in the, some of these resorts, you can then renovate and upgrade the resorts and cap them as you go. You know, that's, that's the thing it's Rob. I've used it before where I'm in a, in my rest stop area for the night. And I look for the next day where I'm going to go. I then click on the resorts and update the results. So I don't have to do it on the go. So yeah, look at me, look at me.
Rob (32:54.24)
Wow.
Now I'm gonna, I'm gonna blow your mind here for a second because if it's a three or a four star resort, if you cap it, now this, you have to be quick to be able to do this. So you open the details, right? If you cap it and then renovate it, and then you can cap it again. And that's when you get the deploy. So you can get like 15 caps and then renovate. And then you get 15 more caps.
Seemyshell (33:00.014)
Yeah, yeah.
Seemyshell (33:04.43)
Mm -hmm.
Seemyshell (33:09.23)
Yeah.
Rob (33:25.984)
and to deploy. So just saying. But again, at speed, I don't recommend it.
Seemyshell (33:27.598)
There you go. There you go. So that's, that's, that's no, do not recommend that when only recommend that if you're stopped or whatever else as well. So the, even if you, even especially when you're a passenger, you can't, you can't tell your driver, slow down a bit, slow down a bit, slow down a bit, unless they're a Munzee player themselves. So there you go, Rob, that's the Munzee tip of the week. And this ends another official Munzee podcast.
Rob (33:36.64)
Yes.
