Seemyshell (00:00.97)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.416)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Seemyshell (00:07.239)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell, I'm an avid Munzee player and I'm here to explore the game further.

Rob (00:12.206)
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 (00:19.086)
So sit back and relax as today's episode we're talking about trunks and workshops and widdles. What are widdles? That's hard to say.

Rob (00:28.397)
What are whittles? Yes, if you say what too many times, whittles is what.

Seemyshell (00:32.322)
What, what, what are Whittles? You know, I saw this Rob, I did. We'd say we read the, we read the blog post all the time and this is now out as well. as we speak of this, this is now out as of Thursday yesterday. looks really, really cool. But for those people out there who literally read all the way through the pod, the blog or don't read the blog or don't understand it. This is what today's episode is all going to be about. We've got lots of Whittles to get to by lots of them. So yeah. Yeah.

Rob (00:58.032)
Yes, we do. It's going to be a lot of information because it's something new from Munzee. And something new from Munzee is never going to be just a tiny splash of information. That's no fun. Why would we do that?

Seemyshell (01:02.252)
It is.

Seemyshell (01:05.71)
Mmm.

Although Rob in saying that too, I've already spoken to you about this because I've done a video out there as well explaining it too. make sure you have look at that. Munzee is going to post that very soon. But when you were explaining it to me as well yesterday at length, you'd explain it to me at length yesterday. And I was like, wow, okay. Again, yeah, this could have gone one of two ways, luckily for the Munzee people out there that it did go the more.

easier route, you know, the more understandable route. So we'll just say that for the time being before we get into it. But anyway, Rob, you're in the closet again, mate. You're in the closet again.

Rob (01:37.316)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (01:42.288)
Yeah, I am. This is what I do. I just bounce to and from. yes, I've landed in the closet at my son's apartment. So yeah, I'm in Florida. I'm hanging out, soaking up some sunshine, which is great, except for the fact that the tail end of an S named hurricane has

Seemyshell (01:50.2)
Yep. Yep.

Seemyshell (01:54.023)
Mm hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (02:07.758)
you

Rob (02:07.792)
has come in. So this is the final storm of the season is what they've said. So it's a bit cloudy. It's a little rainy out there. So easiest place, you know, to hang out, record a podcast is in the closet. Yeah.

Seemyshell (02:12.342)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Here you go.

Yeah. Yeah. Meanwhile, I've got to ask you as well. Yesterday, a little birdie told me by the name of W Helen, that, that you met a few of them big, I'm talking big, big, big Munzey players down in Florida there for lunch, mate. What? How did that go? How did that go?

Rob (02:25.582)
Yeah.

Rob (02:35.096)
Yeah. Yeah, it was good. Yeah, we had Whelan. Let's see, Colecracker7, your friend. No, 7. And EagleDad and Senu. So it was, yeah, good to see all of them. There is no photographic evidence of this meeting. We just, that's true. That's.

Seemyshell (02:39.49)
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Not six, seven.

Nice, nice.

Seemyshell (02:56.878)
It wasn't a meeting, it was a meetup. It wasn't an event, it was just a meetup. That's all it was.

Rob (03:04.068)
That's a good name for it. no, so we, what? no.

Seemyshell (03:05.922)
So you had, you had the number one, I was gonna say, sorry Rob, interrupt you, but you had the number one person in charge of Munzie. That's you there. You had the number one player in the world, W. Helen. You had the number one badge hound in the world in, Eagle Dad. And I'm sure Colecracker Seven is number one for something. I'm just not sure what.

Rob (03:19.94)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (03:25.282)
she is, and I think she's maybe number five in the world overall, something like that. Yeah. I mean,

Seemyshell (03:31.338)
Wow. Wow. Number five in the world. I know what she's, she's number one in the world for the height discrepancy between the vehicle she drives and herself. So that's what she is. So there you go. I'm only saying that she knows I'm only saying it because I'm jealous. I love her vehicles and I love her. She's a great woman. But anyway, Rob, speaking of vehicles, do you want to know what happened in my neck of the woods? I haven't sold mine yet. No, I haven't sold it, but I've bought another one already. I'll pick it up in December.

Rob (03:39.18)
she'll love that.

yeah. Yeah.

Rob (03:51.015)

So that's what I'll be doing in the week leading up to Christmas. Perfect. I'm why not? You know, the coldest weather one I live in a van in the coldest time of the year for, for the US.

Rob (04:10.575)
Nice.

Rob (04:17.405)
yeah, perfect. Why not?

Rob (04:25.73)
I mean, people make their own choices, don't they? And everyone else might go, what is going on? But that's all right.

Seemyshell (04:28.59)
Exactly.

And yes, so now to acknowledge thanks to those guys, please do go listen to their podcast. It is a good one. Sometimes they even mention, you know, what the weather is like, I hope, well, I hope that they were listening and I started talking about the weather at the very beginning of this, right? And I mean, I fell into their trap.

What can you do?

Seemyshell (08:17.058)
I just ignore that. just ignore that part. But I will say after listening to that episode, Rob, and you're right. I, I realized something that I never realized before. PJ actually had a heart. He's actually got a heart. there you go. exactly. I wonder what the next podcast is going to be like. Anyway, the big events coming out Dorset UK is this on the December 7th in Ben Tock UK, December 14th, January 16th.

Okay. No.

Rob (09:02.448)
Well, yesterday I was meeting with a special group of people that just happened to be the hosts, most of the hosts of that event. And well, I'll be there too. So let's do this. Let's have some fun.

Seemyshell (09:07.246)
Hahahaha

Hmm. There you go. If you listen to this podcast, if you listen to this podcast and you want to meet Robbie, you met Rob for the first time, then come along to the Munzee Mecca and madness. Sorry. Madness. No, no, it is Mecca. I'm reading the wrong one. I get them confused. They're all Ms. There's too many Ms Rob. The Munzee Mecca in January 16th and 19th down in Florida. There's five big events happening down there as well.

Rob (09:27.074)
Nah, no Mecca. Yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (09:38.858)
And if you're a co-exister like myself, can say for the week after because Dale and Barb from Space Coast, they've got a block party. Yes, they managed to get a block party the weekend after that as well. So you can say that for two weeks in in Florida where the weather is going to be a lot nicer than what it is up north, mate. Just saying. Yep, exactly. Anyway, moving on, the Munzee Quest and Block Party, January 25th to 26th in Sydney, Australia, Munzee Madness, California.

Rob (09:56.612)
yeah. Yes, definitely.

Seemyshell (10:05.494)
March 8th and 9th, May 3rd, Munsey in Uranus. And it's going to be big fun in Uranus. There's actually two events there too, by the way. May 24th is Munstock. Now Munstock is going to be another big one, Rob. That's in West Virginia, in Morgantown, West Virginia. And it's going to be the same weekend of the Geo Woodstock, which is looking bigger and bigger and bigger every single day. This is going to be huge, Rob. And so I'm going to say now, I'm going to go to this.

Rob (10:12.26)
Okay.

Seemyshell (10:35.082)
So, know, who else is going is GCV. The due caching vlogger is going as well. So, there you go. Yeah. You did.

Rob (10:35.3)
Yeah? Who?

And I think that I put my will attend down on the event a long time ago, but I'm not sure officially that we've ever talked about it. So why not just go ahead and say it all now? Munstock it's happening, man. I there, there will probably end up being more than just this one event. you know, when there's this many of us that will be around, I'm just not myself one to, host the events because

Seemyshell (10:49.624)
There you go.

Seemyshell (10:58.894)
Of course, of course.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (11:07.383)
Yes.

Rob (11:07.888)
Well, everyone likes it to run smoothly and it's best if I'm not the host for that to happen. I've learned that over the years.

Seemyshell (11:10.39)
Yes. But yes, I get yourself again to a Munstock and also put your name down for the Munzee event, but also put your name down for the Woodstock event too. If you haven't already done it, the Geo Woodstock too. It would be great to see everyone there. I mean, you and I are going to go to Geo Woodstock, GCV is going to Geo Woodstock and everyone who's anyone is going to go to Geo Woodstock and then do the Munzee events surrounding the area as well. So that's really cool.

Rob (11:25.646)
Yes, please.

Rob (11:36.164)
Betcha.

Seemyshell (11:37.46)
And then we have, can't forget June 7th and 8th in Ohio SOS are having theirs. If you've got a growing event, reach out to me, like a few people have and do, and I'm sure I'll be in contact with you and talk about it on the podcast. Meanwhile, Rob, 11 minutes in, we've got to whittle our way through this. So you ready for this people? Whittles, Rob, straight away. What are whittles? It's all yours.

Rob (12:01.048)
Well, they are little wooden creatures, little woodland creatures, maybe I don't know. They are fun little characters that have been carved from a tree. So yeah, there are eight different types. And each one of them has its own unique style. So the types are the wonder outdoorsman, farmer, knight, wizard, witch, Viking and rascal.

Seemyshell (12:07.832)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:15.214)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:23.15)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:30.414)
Hmm?

Rob (12:30.48)
There are a couple of little characteristics that you might notice if you look at them, because some of them might look a little more mischievous, I suppose would be the word, you know, that I might go with, perhaps a smiley look to some and others that might have that look on their face of I'm getting into some trouble or I'm causing some trouble. Yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:37.09)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:44.887)
I did.

Seemyshell (12:53.07)
I'm getting into some trouble. I did see that and I will, I will mention it, Rob, because I'm, I'm, watch these things too. the witch, what you're talking about is the witch, the Viking and the rascal. Those three. Yeah. They do look a little bit more devious. They've got like a green sort of stuff on them, like the sap, the green sap instead of the nice happy smiling sort of stuff too. So anyway, what's, what's going to happen with those? Why is there a difference? Or you can't say that yet.

Rob (13:14.021)
Yeah.

Rob (13:19.642)
Well, the blog itself at this point in time doesn't really mention a difference, I suppose, to these things. However, Dylan, in all of his creative wonder, you know, always has some fun plans, especially when he's talking with Andy about the art. And so Andy put these all together. And so this is this is what they came up with that.

Seemyshell (13:34.221)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:48.696)
As we talked about at the beginning, we had a very large pool of ideas for the widows. And we took that really large pool of ideas, and we kept on squeezing it and squeezing it and squeezing it to get down to some really basic information. And just let's, let's put the widows out to everyone with here's basic ideas and the way that it works.

Seemyshell (13:55.704)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:10.456)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (14:15.504)
and get everyone familiar with that and then maybe add in a few different layers of additional fun down the road.

Seemyshell (14:23.864)
Well, Rob, you do say, and this is in the blog post, and it says it on social media post too, that this is season one. Series one, sorry, series one.

Rob (14:30.23)
that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's because we're excited about this. So as you and I record this, you know, before it launches and everything, the team is very excited about this. We've we've actually talked about this idea for a really long time the entire year. We've been working on, you know, when would be the right time to put it out? We

Seemyshell (14:38.188)
You

Seemyshell (14:41.838)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:46.733)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (14:51.95)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:56.312)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (14:57.71)
We had some plans to release it actually a little earlier in the year, a few months ago, but we've had to focus on a lot of other stuff and some changing priorities. So we've put this out because we think that the timing is right now. And because these are things that you have to purchase, the price point is kind of the main thing that we wanted to look at and keep it as something that brand new players could get involved in having bouncers.

Seemyshell (15:27.374)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (15:27.52)
that didn't cost an arm and leg. you know.

Seemyshell (15:30.7)
Yeah. And didn't actually cost actual physical dollars or pounds or Euro, whatever you're spending. These are actually Zed's. Speaking of which then how do people obtain them Rob? How do people obtain wheels?

Rob (15:35.258)
Right. Right.

Rob (15:42.106)
Hey, good lead in there, right? So you get these in the in-app store. And the way that you do it is going in to the in-app store, you look for the Whittles trunk. So that's what these are called. So when talking about these in plural, we have been calling them trunks with the Z on the end, because that's what we do with all the words. So you've got this little trunk.

Seemyshell (15:48.888)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (16:03.523)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:10.018)
You buy that it's 150 zeds and I think that's yeah that answers that question. Yeah, that's it.

Seemyshell (16:16.758)
Yeah. Yeah. But what happens, what happens with them and what you need to look for people, this trunk itself is just exactly that. It's a trunk of a tree, like a stump growing out of the, out of the ground. So you buy this Rob for 150 Zeds and then automatic, you don't have to do any. So it's not like the cubimals or the crates whereby you have to then go around and cap physical moneys. No, this one here, the whittle gets released from that trunk straight away and is a bouncer. Is that right?

Rob (16:40.26)
Yes, the whittle is whittled out of the wood and here it is. So yes, it goes and bounces. You get a confirmation message which tells you exactly which one you received. And then yeah, it's bouncing. So shall I go into that mechanic or go on to the next? We'll go into the next. I had a feeling.

Seemyshell (16:44.974)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (16:57.984)
Mm-hmm. How long? I'll lead you, I'll lead you Rob to make it easier. So it makes it easier for everyone. So they, they release, you've got one of eight different types to be, to be captured and they're random. They're randomly given to you. Once it releases, how long does it last for bouncing around the world?

Rob (17:13.402)
there.

Rob (17:17.41)
out there bouncing for five days. We had a lot of different possibilities here, everyone. So understand that, you know, with as with all of our things, we could have created something that's all kinds of crazy, but complicated and lots of different rules to the different things like levels. However, we decided no one one one lifespan for all the Whittles. so, yeah, five, five years, five days, five days.

Seemyshell (17:19.758)
So that's five days in Yeah.

Seemyshell (17:30.872)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (17:35.179)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Seemyshell (17:42.542)
going to be five years, five days, five days, five days, five days. And so that's just on days alone. It's not actual on number of caps, et cetera. Very much similar to now like the Trojan horse whereby, not Trojan horse. You call it something different, don't you? or do you call it unicorn, unicorn Trojan? Sorry. The unicorn Trojan whereby you grab that at the beginning of the month and it lasts for the entire month. But the difference is, that one there doesn't matter when you buy it through the month.

Rob (17:57.158)
Mmm unicorn Trojan unicorn. Yeah

Seemyshell (18:08.96)
It'll only last till the very end of month. This one here is five days and five days to the second that it's released. Is that right Rob? Yeah. And no limit on caps either. No, no limit on caps.

Rob (18:15.51)
Mm-hmm, that is correct.

No. in order to, yeah, I was going to say, hmm, do I combine these next ones together? we've got 10 different levels that you can have the whittles at, right? come on. we'll do tell.

Seemyshell (18:23.598)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (18:31.2)
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's my next question for you. And that is, yeah, yeah. And that is, so for instance, I get the farmer, farmer whittle straight away and then I'll let him go. And then I get another trunk and it's another farmer. Can I get another farmer? Yeah.

Rob (18:44.878)
Yes, you can have multiple of the same different whittle bouncing around. As you open the trunk, if you already have a farmer, like you said, then you're going to have another farmer that comes out. So that is bouncing around. The first farmer that you open, level one. As you open another trunk, if it's a farmer, that one is a level two. If you open another trunk.

Seemyshell (18:49.398)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (18:54.712)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (19:07.886)
Rob (19:11.16)
then that next farmer that you get is going to be a level three. if let's say, you know, on launch day, people opened 10 different trunks, right, there are only eight whittles. So it's not possible that anyone would have like, I, they're going to have at least two level twos. It's all completely random. So it might be that someone gets, you know, a level seven farmer, and then they've only got

Seemyshell (19:18.051)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (19:21.506)
and they will.

Seemyshell (19:26.254)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (19:33.358)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (19:38.967)
Yeah.

Rob (19:40.26)
two other, three other different types that are bouncing around.

Seemyshell (19:43.662)
I was going to say as well, Rob, how many levels then can you have of these bounces? So there's 10. Yep.

Rob (19:47.696)
10. So it maxes out maxes out at 10. And you will not be given like if you get your farmer up to level 10. By opening trunks and getting all the way to that. You're not going to be given another farmer after that, because it's already maxed out. Yeah.

Seemyshell (19:57.46)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (20:04.278)
so it's maxed out. so he listened to this people listen to this very carefully. If I can recall this Rob, you know, there's eight in total, right? And you, once you get to level 10, so there's 10 trunks, times eight, there's 80 trunks. And because you can't double up after level 10. So if you open 80 trunks in on today, then you'll get them all at level 10. Is that right?

Rob (20:28.144)
Yes. And, and you'll have 80 whittles bouncing around for five days. Yeah, yeah. And, and we know, we know that there will be some people that will do that. I know, I know, I don't expect that people that a lot of people will do that.

Seemyshell (20:35.33)
for five days only people, that's right, five days only. So you're gonna get some points, anyway. Absolutely, I'm thinking about it myself.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:52.202)
And and I don't know I I almost you know Well, I hope that people will enjoy these over time as well But the good news is that there is a way to bring them back So we'll we'll talk about that piece in just a sec. But but yeah, the you you go through level 10 The levels don't have anything to do with the points. Okay, so the points are set or sorry the

Seemyshell (21:20.398)
So a level one farmer is the same as a level 10 farmer. that right? Is that what you're saying? When it comes to points? I know, I saw it. Actually, I can smell it. I can smell that you did, but anyway.

Rob (21:25.93)
I lost my mind there for a second because... Yeah, excuse me. It's all on fire up there. It's not... I think I said that completely wrong. The points do change based on the levels. Yes, I got a few things confused in my head and combined there. The points do change, so you get more points as these things level up.

Seemyshell (21:37.42)
Hmm. they do. Okay.

Seemyshell (21:46.648)
That's right.

Seemyshell (21:53.58)
Level up. Nice, nice.

Rob (21:54.032)
The what doesn't change is the length of time for them to bounce the how many days they're on the map none of those types of things change at all so you You have them on the map for one hour So this five days There's a possibility that your widow if it never gets capped at all with them being in the spot for one hour

Seemyshell (21:58.926)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (22:19.278)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (22:23.152)
they will bounce a minimum of 119 times, since they're out there for 120 hours.

Seemyshell (22:29.09)
So, so what are you saying, Rob? Now you jumped again. I know you did this all the time, but that's okay. You've jumped again. So what you're saying is firstly, number one, and that is the higher the level, the more points the bounces actually worth, the Whittlesworth, but these bounces themselves are different to other bounces because they only last for one hour on their host. Right, right, right. So that's it. That's all it is. Just jumping back to, just to let you know, cause I did some math quickly. If you want to do this, this eight by 10,

Rob (22:35.202)
I know I'm trying.

Rob (22:42.67)
Yes.

Rob (22:49.025)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (22:58.83)
trunks straight away, then it's going to cost you 12,000 zeds. So there you go. So, cause they're 150 each by times, times that by 80 and there you go, 12,000 zeds. Just sorry, it was in my head at the time. Rob, they bounce around for, and they only do one hour on each particular host. And then what happens after they're archived after that five days?

Rob (23:02.878)
okay. Yeah.

Rob (23:12.016)
And that's

Rob (23:20.464)
So after the five days, the Whittles are kind of out on a mission. during this time collecting twigs, they deliver twigs back to you as the owner. Twigs, yes. So these twigs are going to be, well, they're a new credit. So it's like the jewel shards. It's like, you know, cake credits, that type of thing. Right. So this is a bouncer that we...

Seemyshell (23:25.635)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (23:32.526)
Tweaks? Okay, tweaks.

Seemyshell (23:39.95)
cake credits, mech, the cogs for the mech. Right.

Rob (23:49.38)
You know, we've been we've tested this with fin rear the story land myth, right? Where on occasion, fin rear brings back Rover treats, because dogs hunt and packs. So we've been testing that. And that's what these whittles are going to do. The whittles break down into twigs. And and so you get some of those. So you'll be able to go to the redeem store, which, as we all know, is in the app now.

Seemyshell (23:51.584)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah.

Seemyshell (23:58.242)
Yes, exactly.

Seemyshell (24:05.166)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (24:15.478)
It inept now, yeah.

Rob (24:16.592)
Which is great. So there's a new twigs section in the app and you'll be able to see some things there. We're going to have low cost items and some that you will have to save up a lot of your twigs over time in order to to redeem for things like what might you build twigs, you know, build out of twigs, use twigs to build. So Banker, you know, I need it.

Seemyshell (24:19.917)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (24:27.182)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (24:32.59)
Seemyshell (24:40.652)
Like a house or a tree or something. That's whatever. there you go. There you go. Well, Rob to go with this as well. Munzie, as we all know, and Eagle Dad, we just spoke about him before being the badge hound. I'm taking, there's going to be lots of badges to go with these too.

Rob (24:45.304)
all kinds of crazy things, who knows? yeah. Yeah.

Rob (24:58.904)
There are quite a few badges and the number of badges, you know, you could expect that these will be something that we continue to grow the sets of badges that go along with them. yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (25:01.569)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (25:10.331)
Badges. there you go. There you go, Gary. There you go, mate. He's going to be the first one to get the 12,000 points. So just for the purely for the badges, nothing else, but purely for the badges. So there you go. Meanwhile, Rob, you said before that these going to bounce around very similar to cubamools IDSA in terms of what they're going to bounce on, et cetera. But is there anything in particular that they're going to be attracted to? I see there's this thing called a Whittles workshop. What's that?

Rob (25:17.232)
Once I'm all out there, yep.

Rob (25:34.8)
Yeah, the Whittles Workshop is a special temporary destination. Lasts for three days that the Whittles and Cubimels will land on. So that you've got sort of a special place if you're looking for, you know, specifically for Whittles or for Cubimels. Yeah, so it works the same as all the other different temporary destinations as far as being a landing pad. Yeah.

Seemyshell (25:40.226)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (25:53.824)
Right.

Seemyshell (25:58.168)
temporary destination. So, yep, yep. So you can, and again, that temporary destination, you can actually get in app as well. We can only get in app. A hint for everyone, if you've never used a temporary destination before, you place it right near you, right near where you are. It's okay. It doesn't have any restrictions in terms of, you know, radius restrictions or anything for other moneys. It's on a different level itself. Place it near you. You then, you get what, six or seven whittles on there every single day?

Rob (26:27.6)
Yes, it holds six. And then if you're a premium member, you use a magnet, then you have an opportunity for seven.

Seemyshell (26:29.538)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (26:34.924)
And it can hold seven. Perfect. Perfect. and at the same time, these are same as other temporary destinations in the terms of that, they're open for everyone to actually obtain. in other words, Rob, if you've got yourself and you've got your couple of kids and your wife, et cetera, in the same household, you've all got, know, you're all play Munzee. Firstly, well done. but you can, you can all then cap the, the, this one temporary destination at the same time every single day, or if other players are passing by, they can cap it as well. So there you go.

Rob (26:53.668)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (27:04.302)
This destination though, does it attract just whittles or anything else? whittles and cubimals. There you go. There you go. so hence the reason why you've put cubimals Rob in the last, this month's Claremore. So there you go people. You can get it all in one go now with it's stop. Don't whinge, don't complain. how did you get cubimals? You know, mind you, I, I've

Rob (27:09.326)
It's wittles and cubimoles. I believe it's all it's going to be. Yes.

Rob (27:20.848)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (27:29.312)
I was one of those that magnetized, you know, things and I got mine early, but anyway, there you go. The Whittles workshop, grab it if you haven't got your kibbles because you can get your kibbles from the Whittles workshop. Meanwhile, Rob, you said before that, that once it goes to level 10, you can't buy another trunk because you got no more to actually get from a trunk. So you did a trunk. You won't be able to buy it all, but how can then I redeploy these Whittles? Cause I think they're really cute.

Rob (27:32.143)
Yeah.

Rob (27:53.968)
Yeah, so if you want to keep these whittles moving, then you now have a new option at the wishing well. We've we've talked about this. We've hinted at this. We wanted, you know, we wanted to put some new things out as wishes are to use stars for. And this is it. So you pay that hundred and fifties. You get a widow.

Seemyshell (27:58.978)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (28:04.615)
What?

Seemyshell (28:14.253)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (28:17.889)
Wow.

Rob (28:23.628)
And if all you ever want is one, cool, no problem. There you go. So you've got that one. It's going to be there for five days, but you can bring that thing back without paying anything ever for it. Because all that you have to do is join Cappy on a daily stroll. So a lot of people, know, man, I don't like this and all that kind of stuff. Totally get it. That's perfectly fine.

Seemyshell (28:25.816)
Just one. There you go.

Seemyshell (28:40.437)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (28:46.05)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (28:47.914)
You can have these whittles and they can just bounce for five days and that was 150 zeds and then it's done. No problem. But this is for those people who, you know, you've been looking for something a little bit different. So with these whittles, the higher the level, the lower the number of stars it costs for you to redeploy them or to rebuild, re-whittle, you know, that will get it bouncing again.

Seemyshell (29:00.01)
Mmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (29:12.174)
And yet, and yet the more points you get. in other words, Rob, what you're saying here and what I can read properly, and that is a level one widow will cost you 75 stars. Now, provided you can only have a hundred stars in your little wallet people, you can't have any more than that. You max out at a hundred. So you've got to spend 75 stars for a level one. But if you get up to a level 10, it's going to cost you 25 stars and yet you get more points. So it makes it more sense to get these widows in people. And each time you get 150.

Zed's and again you get zed's by different things, know bank pair wise now give you zed's for instance, you know I saw that on I saw that on the water cooler and There's other ways, you know, your daily zeops gives you zed's your clan wars gives you zed's Yeah, all these things can give you zed's which then you put back into the game by collecting whittles and then wow Wow Wow Wow Rob, I like it. I like it

Rob (29:45.284)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (29:52.526)
Yeah.

Rob (29:59.62)
Yeah. Yeah, we're hoping it's going to be fun. This is kind of the star pricing, if you will, for us as we launch. know what it takes to get 25 stars. that's something as a perk for getting to level 10. So you can get those back out on the map a little bit quicker. would take most. It would take the average person.

Seemyshell (30:07.808)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (30:13.016)
Yes.

Seemyshell (30:19.304)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (30:27.62)
two days, possibly three, maybe even four to get 25 stars. You have to actually go and walk in order to get 25 stars or you have to use Rover treats and boosters. And I do know that I recognize that and that is on purpose for this. aren't like just going, okay, here's, know, everyone can get five stars in a day. And so they were gonna make these five stars, but we are, we're starting it this way.

Seemyshell (30:32.214)
I was... Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Mm-hmm. Yes. Well...

Seemyshell (30:50.594)
Hmm. No.

No. Yes.

Rob (30:57.632)
And obviously we'll be watching to see how things are going, making sure that it's working properly like we want it to. And if it's not, then we'll go and we'll make changes to the star costs and some of that kind of stuff. But yeah, this is the plan for now.

Seemyshell (31:00.12)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (31:10.666)
Right, right.

And just for people that there as well in regards to the stars and the daily walks, et even Rob, even if you are one of those people and look, I'll be honest, I'll be a hundred percent honest. put my hand up here as well. It's happened to me more often than not, whereby I will still activate Cappy and I'll still from my house and I'll activate him from my house and I will keep pick up one, two, maybe three stars and not, using Rover treats and not using anything else. don't know, boosters two, three stars. And so I can do that from my house.

And if I do three stars every day, 15 days, Rob goes by. So half the month in the month, I can actually obtain two of these level widows by not even leaving my house. So it's not that hard to do. no need to complain about it or whatever, because you play it how you want to play it. and if you don't want to it all, you don't play it all, you know, that's best be honest. But, but, but in saying that I do, I do like the actual thing, the average person I personally think is probably five stars a day. I'm going to say average.

Rob (31:52.132)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (32:02.104)
Absolutely, totally get it and that's fine.

Seemyshell (32:11.66)
You know, so if you do five stars a day, Rob, times 25, that's five days. How long do the Whittles last for? Five days. wow. Look at that. It all matches the humps though. Anyway.

Rob (32:11.781)
Yes.

Rob (32:19.888)
You, you have, you have seen the math that I have actually sat there and done in the background. Because we we looked at it and we tried to decide if it was going to be 10 stars. And, you know, 100 stars for a level one was actually where we started. Yeah, that's a full bank that takes the average person a really long time. And so we didn't want to have level 10 as low as

Seemyshell (32:25.538)
Hahahaha

Seemyshell (32:32.622)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (32:37.608)
yeah, that's a lot.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Rob (32:47.984)
10 stars and we didn't want to have level one as high as 75 or 100 stars So kind of balanced everything out. And like I said, we've been playing with this internally. It feels good to me however When we get it out to the masses, that's where we get all the feedback and that's where we you know look at and reevaluate so So yeah stick with us. We're gonna we're gonna make this where it it's Goldilocks. It fits just right

Seemyshell (32:48.43)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (32:52.962)
Yeah. Yep.

Seemyshell (32:58.424)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (33:05.582)
Mm-hmm.

Very good.

Seemyshell (33:14.488)
Perfect. Perfect. Now people, if you need more information in regards to this, number one, go to the blog post. Number two, re-listen to this podcast as well. Or number three, have a look at the video that's been posted that I did only yesterday in regards to this. I hopefully you can sink it in a little bit that way. So in other words, if you listen, if you watch or you read, they're your three senses people that you've done from there, which is really good. Rob, we're running well over time now. And the question of the week comes from...

Rob (33:19.684)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (33:39.93)
Yeah, sorry.

Seemyshell (33:41.772)
Quick one for you from Minions Are Cool, our good friend, a long time listener of the show, listens every single week. So shout out to Minions Are Cool in California. He says, how can I encourage more people to join Munzee in my local area?

Rob (33:55.292)
my, you know, they seem to be doing a pretty decent job of hosting events, you know, in that area. We've seen the pictures, they've got the event flag. I would say that they're actually doing quite a few things right in that area. So for Kyle to be asking, like, how do I get more people in my area?

Seemyshell (34:00.15)
Hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (34:09.655)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (34:17.353)
I know.

Rob (34:20.08)
It is really like well everyone around the world. How do you get more people into your area the suggestions? You know have come in with the referral code being put out in place different locations Which you've said in the past and and to my knowledge he does that he goes and puts it places You know get into different types of groups that are location based gaming You know people because those are our people not everyone obviously

Seemyshell (34:24.725)
Exactly.

Seemyshell (34:29.751)
Yes.

Seemyshell (34:33.602)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (34:41.495)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (34:44.942)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (34:49.824)
wants to play all of the different games and so everyone doesn't transfer over to Munzee. We don't all play Pokemon Go. We don't all play, you know, all the different ones, but trying to find like-minded people is one of the best ways and really just keep getting the word out there. So that's...

Seemyshell (34:52.415)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (34:58.889)
Exactly. Exactly.

Seemyshell (35:07.244)
And Kyle, Kyle, you and your team over there in California, you're doing a great job. So keep it up, keep it up, mate. So there you go. Munzee requests the week. I'm going to go through this pretty quick, Rob. This one is from Corvette on discord. And they say, I like many other players use premium filters to conveniently cap the POI's and bounces around me every day. However, the premium filters do not include the wishing wells. This means I have to constantly switch between filters and I end up forgetting about the wishing wells and I miss out on nearby ones. Could you please add the wishing wells to the premium?

Rob (35:11.332)
Yeah. Yep.

Seemyshell (35:37.048)
filters that requires a, you know, pass it along to the team sort of response maybe. Yeah. No, I know.

Rob (35:43.94)
Yeah, I believe so. I personally can't. However, this this certainly does come in as a request now, doesn't it? There's a there's a an email address for that. And yeah, Sam is listening and Sam is is usually a man of the people. Yeah.

Seemyshell (35:52.734)
Mm-hmm. Exactly.

Seemyshell (36:00.45)
Yes. And Sam's on Discord. Yeah, Sam loves it on Discord as well. So there you go. All right, Rob, we're going to end with the Munzee tip of the week. And this one is from me again. And that is there's more to Munzee than just capping things. And we've said this plenty of times before. So try new things for your clan war requirements. I know a few people every single month that reach out or they come out with different ways for the clan war requirements, like magnets for this or...

looking to deploy that like the shields for the unicorn, horses, et cetera, et cetera. So remember, remember always Rob always have fun and enjoy this great hobby that is ours. That is Munzee. So there you go. That's the tip of the week. And I said nice and warm to finish on. Nope.

Rob (36:39.024)
I mean, that is really nice. It's very nice. Don't let the weather hold you back. Just find a way around whatever that block is. Yeah.

Seemyshell (36:49.794)
whether that's too cold in the Northern Hemisphere or too hot in the Southern Hemisphere. It makes no difference. So there you go. Rob, Rob, Rob, that ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (36:53.926)
