Craig (00:01.63)
Welcome to the official Munzee podcast.

Rob (00:04.023)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:07.858)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell. started as an avid Munzee player now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:12.995)
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.

Craig (00:19.896)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode is gonna be huge. We've got a big, big, big mailbox coming up. We're talking whittles and gardens of the month. And Rob's done something in regards to the clan requirements for July that haven't actually been released as this goes out, but we'll see what it is. But bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger news, Rob. And that is, is currently a brand new, spanking new number one staff member in the world. And that is me.

Rob (00:46.699)
Eww. man. Do we have to start on this note? I mean...

Craig (00:49.838)
We do, we do, we do. If you start on the sour taste, you see, and then get to the sweetness after, then you'll be right, Exactly.

Rob (00:57.743)
All right, what I enjoy a sour beer. why not kick, why not kick this off with the sour taste in my mouth? You're right. Good, good point there. yes, I suppose what I should do is be a gracious second place, which is the first loser. I should be gracious. I should say congratulations to you. It is very difficult, but I've been number one on the team since, you know,

Craig (01:18.304)
It's so hard for you.

Rob (01:25.541)
before I was even part of the team. As soon as I jumped in, boom, I was it. So, you know, I was so close to 100 million points and I was like, yeah, I'm gonna get there. Like before you is kind of, I thought that and I'm sitting there and I'm looking at it and I have made it to 100 million points now. But the bad news is you beat me there.

Craig (01:27.33)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (01:36.022)
I know, I know.

Craig (01:48.556)
Now you have your.

That's true, that's true. just literally, it's one of those things, Rob, whereby I came from behind basically and right at the last minute, you sort of slowed down slightly. You ran out of breath, so to speak, just before the finish line and I went, boom, straight across in front of you. And we're talking, when we're talking close, we're talking less than 100,000 points difference. You were less than 100,000 before 100 million points and then I overshot you from there and took out the 100.

Rob (02:11.451)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (02:21.633)
I ran out of stuff to cap. And so I learned, I learned a big lesson in all of this because I mean, I was even in Orlando, but I didn't have stuff necessarily right around me and you know, celebrating Trey's birthday. And so it wasn't gonna like, Hey, it's all Munzee. So yeah, I've learned how important like my home base is for all my normal points because if I'd been at home, yeah, no problem. Like you wouldn't have, you wouldn't have caught up to me.

Craig (02:25.494)
Yeah.

Craig (02:31.022)
Mmm.

Craig (02:35.789)
Yeah.

Craig (02:44.311)
Yes.

Craig (02:48.044)
Yeah.

Rob (02:49.797)
quite as quickly I don't think you would have to have done just a bit more work but yeah.

Craig (02:50.804)
No, no, exactly.

And that's a good point too, Rob. You call it a home base. I used to call it when I first started, you create your own nest, Rob. Like you can create your own nest. And you know, if you want to learn how to do that more, maybe we'll have a podcast on that, creating your own nest at another time. Because today, Rob, we've got way too much to do. But before we move on, as we speak, Rob, you're currently on 100.1 million points. I'm at 100.9 million points. I'm 800,000 ahead of you now. So that means, Rob, I clawed back and took over you.

Rob (03:00.56)
Yes.

Rob (03:10.737)
true.

Craig (03:24.694)
Over 4 million in a week, Rob. That's how busy I've been.

Rob (03:27.033)
I think this should be the last time that we talk about our scores and everyone can just watch it and I'll just, I'll just hide in the corner and cry every time we talk about it.

Craig (03:32.334)
It will be now. There's no need. There's no need. I'm ahead of you now. You're not catching back up, so there's no need. And if there will be a chance of you catching back up, then we may bring it up again. that's right. That's right. For now. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Thank you, sir. Look at you. are. You're getting a little bit softer in your older age, but that's OK.

Rob (03:44.249)
Right, I think that's a good idea, but for now we'll just leave it alone. You win, well done, congratulations to you.

Rob (03:57.167)
Nope, definitely not.

Craig (03:58.959)
All right, Rob, guess what, mate? We had two events in Massachusetts over the weekend and one in Germany. Around the world, we had the leaderboards on Friday. Rob, you can start the Friday.

Rob (04:08.657)
Alright, let's go with W. Helen at $246,000, Jaroslav Kos at $208,000, and Colecracker7 at $196,000.

Craig (04:18.19)
Well known names and same with on Saturdays where we had toxin over in the UK 294,000 points. W Helen again on 276,000 points and T 72 on 262,000 points on Sunday.

Rob (04:32.049)
Yeah, Jaroslav Kos leading off with $409,000, Jack Sparrow $381,000, and Whelan $247,000. All three days.

Craig (04:41.102)
W. Helen makes a first, second, and third over the weekend. So there's a reason why he is another number one player in the entire world. There's a reason for it. Rob, this weekend we have only one event in the US, in Illinois, and one all around the world, and that's in the Netherlands. So get your cards out for those if you need your clan war points to finish off anything you need to finish off as well. So get that done, but I know.

of people Rob they've already up to their done their clan war stuff and they're up to the level that we say want to be so yeah yeah exactly Rob tell us about some big events what's what's happening because some birthday

Rob (05:12.187)
Yep, that is true.

Rob (05:17.597)
man, July is birthday month. That's right. It's very exciting. It's our 14th birthday. Munzee is 14. It's amazing. I can't honestly, I can't believe it. wow. My how time flies. so birthday events are starting to show up on the calendar. we actually have over 40 events in July already. So yeah, everyone be sure that you check the calendar. If you've got a home location set.

Craig (05:21.244)
You

Craig (05:26.583)
Wow.

Craig (05:35.192)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (05:39.062)
Wow.

Rob (05:45.549)
online through muncie.com slash settings, you'll actually receive messages in the app saying, you know, Hey, there's events near you and, and near is a pretty large radius, 200 miles or something like that. maybe more. so anyway, yeah. don't rely on the app to tell you where the events are. Go to the calendar. they will have a bright pink border around them. I believe that's going to show which ones are the birthday events. have special.

Craig (05:47.416)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (05:59.34)
Yep. Yep.

Craig (06:11.276)
Yep.

Rob (06:15.218)
of rewards for being there. So get to them.

Craig (06:16.97)
And it's still, Rob, it's still not too late. If you want to host one, if you don't have anyone around you at all and you still want to host one, want to be a host, you still can do that. So reach out to Lou or start creating the event in the actual app itself. Never too late at this point in time to host your own. Have a look at what weekend suits you the best and what weekend would suit you in regards to points. Because remember, Rob, we said last week about the double points every weekend for next month too. So exactly.

Rob (06:40.052)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (06:42.734)
Other than that, Rob, we have big events in July 11 to 13, four events in Western New York, Munzee Marathon, that same weekend, five in the Netherlands as well. July 25th, we have Munzee Bash in Waseon, Ohio. That's a big co-exist event, I should say. So make sure everyone wears their co-exist shirts for that. I'll be there for that one too, Rob. That's really cool.

and let's say September 12 to 14, we have four events over three days, a Munzee mania in Minnesota. And again, Rob, I'll be there for that one too. You've got other big players are going to be there. You're to have W Helen's going to be there. I'm going to say, I'm going to chuck her under the, under the bus or the Tacoma, whatever she drives. the, the cold cracker seven will probably be there as well. I dare say like all the big players will be in Munzee mania in Minnesota. So that's really cool.

Rob (07:25.857)
And it's possible that something has changed on the calendar for Lou and I so that we have a possibility of both of us being there. Lou has never been to Minnesota before. We've talked about it a lot in the past. She would really like to go. maybe a few more Will attends. Maybe that's going to happen. Anyway, it's a possibility right now. We'll let everyone know as soon as we know for sure.

Craig (07:31.686)
Really? Wow. Wow.

Yeah.

Craig (07:46.764)
Yeah, yeah.

Craig (07:51.244)
That's a good point too, Rob. And if you haven't got your Willa Tens in for any of these here, make sure you get them in, especially like I said before, Munzee Mania in Minnesota. It is a fantastic event. Whelan and Leesh Family, Leesh Family, I'm trying to pronounce it right, Leesh Family, Jake, they do a great job and all the other event hosts as well do a really, really good job there in Minnesota. So make sure you get to that September 12th to 14th.

Rob (08:03.259)
Check.

Yep.

Rob (08:13.445)
I mean, really, we should say it's Jake's wife behind the scenes that's running it, that the food and everything else be a really important part. yeah, the face that's here.

Craig (08:20.366)
Yeah, yeah, but Jake's the face, Jake's the face. And then next year we have Munzey Mecca in Florida, January 16, 18, March 6 and 7th has been Munzey Madness again in Southern California. All right, Rob, that's it for all the preemptive stuff because we've got lots to talk about today. Firstly and foremost, give me the BVG, the Bouncing Virtual Gardens update. There's now been four being released, all four are full. What's going on with them?

Rob (08:47.931)
So excited about what's happening with the BVG. I've been putting quite a bit of time into making sure that they're bouncing properly. Sam built me a tool to stop me from messing it up because I messed it up twice. so yeah, things are going well. We're looking at, as we said last week, POIs, popular locations to try and keep it bouncing to get people caps. All four of the bouncing virtual garden POIs have more than

Craig (09:10.286)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:16.845)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (09:17.457)
50 caps on them, which is pretty cool. in, we record, it's been nine days, 50 caps on these for players. I mean, that's pretty sweet. A couple of them have more than 60. So yeah, we're going to keep them bouncing and attempt to get them to event locations. But in the month of July, you may not see all four of the gardens at your event because they're gonna, it's going to be crazy. So.

Craig (09:19.404)
Yeah, that's really cool.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:31.362)
Wow.

Craig (09:37.128)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:42.606)
No, that's not a lot. You should see at least one. Should see at least one. Still not guaranteed, but you should see at least one.

Rob (09:51.535)
I'd say that that probability is very high, but yeah, we'll, I'll put some updates out as we get closer to July events, but yeah, things are going really well. Hope everyone's enjoying it.

Craig (09:54.702)
Yes, yeah, whether you see all four or not, it's different story.

Mm-hmm. Yep. of course, Sam, great, great job Sam as well. He's put in a, in the Cuppa Z app as well. There is a way where you can have an alert if it actually bounces in around your area too. So make sure if you don't know how to do that, then jump onto the Cuppa Z on Facebook. There's a Cuppa Z Facebook page as well. Jump onto that. And, Sam's already got a little, like a tutorial, you know, listed out of how to do that on there too. So Cuppa Z Facebook app, go and have a look.

Rob (10:15.921)
That's great.

Craig (10:28.302)
All right, Rob, we're gonna leave the big one to the last because now we're gonna talk about the Garden of the Month winners and the future month reminders too, Rob. Garden of the Month, what's been happening with that?

Rob (10:38.513)
Well, we have given out the Garden of the Month reward yet again, so everybody needs to check out Cup of the Gardens because that is the place where the gardens are chosen from. There are special little tags for, know, hey, we're trying to get Garden of the Month. And if you look at it and you think, hey, that's a really cool design that might win, deploy in it because you're going to get a badge. So.

Craig (10:42.378)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:51.278)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:59.054)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:04.226)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:07.269)
We've given those out this month. It was an octopus and a mermaid. So.

Craig (11:11.116)
Yes. Yeah. And the mermaid is the same as the Munzee mermaid, Rob. It's the, in the square, the looks really cool. It really cool. don't forget as well, if you've, you're the owner of an older garden and it's already full, you know, and it's already been done, I'm talking years, years ago. It doesn't matter if you think it may qualify, put the tag in. If you don't know how to put the tag in, reach out to me because I've had a couple of people reach out to me recently, Rob as well. And I can update the tags for you from there too, just to help you out. So very, very easy.

Rob (11:16.336)
Yeah.

Rob (11:38.993)
Good point.

Craig (11:40.578)
So yeah, older gardens, as long as they qualify, and that is more than 50 pins, no temporary pins at all, and it must have a P or Y. That's pretty much the only thing, you know, that's it. And go from there. So that's for future ones as well, and future months remind, it's really cool. Now, Rob, you've done something with the clan requirements that hasn't been released yet. As we release this, it releases tomorrow, being Saturday. But what have you got for those actual listeners of the podcast?

Rob (12:01.403)
No.

Rob (12:04.966)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (12:10.129)
Well, July is such a lovely month and it is our birthday month and we appreciate those who support us, who allow us to continue to have birthdays. And the people who support us the most are the premium members. You know, with that $30 for the year, $3 a month if you're on a monthly subscription through the app. I think it's three. Anyway, we appreciate all of you. So.

Craig (12:20.461)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:24.302)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (12:36.805)
I'm changing things up just a little bit for the month of July. It's not gonna be insanely difficult for everyone. Instead, what I'm going to do is I'm going to show appreciation to those premium members. Level one is going to be the end for non-premium members. Yeah, I've never done it before. Level two will require the premium only deploy, level two. So yeah, so.

Craig (12:44.962)
No.

Craig (12:56.44)
Really?

Craig (13:04.022)
Wow. Wow.

Rob (13:06.745)
Here's what I would suggest. If you're a non-premium player and you're gonna use up that free premium preview, the one week preview, you better get it started now because you don't get all the perks and that includes the Redeem store until the seven day free trial has expired. So don't forget about that. Or just go to the store, get yourself a premium membership, do it by July 3rd, that way you can

Craig (13:08.366)
You

Craig (13:18.092)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:25.706)
that's right, it's ended, exactly. So, yeah, get yourself premium, Yeah.

Rob (13:36.407)
enjoy rewards that are going to be worthy of a birthday celebration.

Craig (13:42.094)
So if you're, if you're, and if you're, that's a good point too, Rob. If you're in a clan yourself, you are premium or whatever you think, and oh, okay, I've got no wishy there. Everyone in that clan must be premium. So if you've got one non-premium member in your clan, guess what? That whole clan only can do level one. So there may be a little backlash from this to a certain degree, Rob, but what I say, but what I'll say, what I'll say is this and that is the premium membership, Rob, it is a thousand percent worth it. Even, even.

Rob (14:01.553)
I'm certain that there will be certain.

Craig (14:10.478)
Even if it's just to get rid of those red dots after you've kept something that's to me That's that's worth the money like there and then that's worth getting rid of that filters straight away That's worth it more than anything else So get that to the premium members and also make sure to check your rest of your clan members to To make sure that they are all premium members if you want to go any more than a level one Wow Wow Wow

Rob (14:15.368)
I agree.

Rob (14:34.257)
Yeah. Thank you, premium members.

Craig (14:37.292)
Yeah, thank you Premier. And any issues, it's Robert at freestag.com.

Rob (14:43.769)
I'm absolutely email me directly rob at muncie.com. Rob at free is tag.com coach V on the Muncie app. It hit me up. I, I already know what you're going to say, but you also already know what I'm going to say. And, this is my party line and that always will be. Thank you premium numbers.

Craig (14:48.814)
There you go. I know, I know.

And I was going to say that's going to be your reply and that is thank you premium members. And that's it. then a couple of period full stops as we call it in the rest of the All right, Rob, we're going to move on now to a really, really good thing. And again, thank you so much for this one, Rob too. And thanks to the team. I will say now I'm on the inside. Thanks to the team for this too, because Rob is now sitting there shaking his head at me because this, this Rob, this is absolutely.

Rob (15:05.038)
Absolutely.

Rob (15:19.249)
Hmm.

Craig (15:28.398)
Huge and we're talking about the musical Mealy meal mailbox. Meal box mailbox the new mailbox is out First and first and foremost if you've never had or seen a mailbox if you're brand new what mailboxes are these ones here they'll last for for this one will last until the 30th of June, so 31st of June, sorry 31st of July June, what is June July 31st of July? I I know right

Rob (15:35.537)
There you go.

Rob (15:49.105)
31st of July. July. Sam, what are we gonna do with this guy?

Craig (15:57.614)
31st of July or the last two what you do is as soon as you buy one itself from the freeze tank store You can then deploy it you deploy it right next to you like you normally deploy a Skyland or a teapot or whatever It's temporary, but it's it's it's there and it gets deployed for you then to cap the difference between a mailbox and and other ones like temporary Teapots and stuff is that you can move this one around too. So make sure as soon as you grab it you deploy it because you deploy it

and you can still cap it every day before the actual event starts as well. So still cap it every single day. And what that does, Robert, gets you used to, used to doing the daily cap on it too. So at the same time, when I say about moving it, I'll say this, Rob, and that is it's perfect for people like me because I move every single day. I'm in a new town, a new city every single day. So I will be moving this with me as I go along. But when you move it, please, please do not undeploy, do not archive. You click the three dots and you click edit.

location if you're at the location which you like to edit to then all you need to do is after edit location click the little the little star button down the bottom or the little the little Target button down the bottom and it'll bring it straight to where you are So that's what you need to do for that. So you do not do not undepoi do not archive It won't work. It's just edit location. That's all you need to do. All right, Rob, you tell me what's about this merely what is what it's all in the name is it

Rob (17:05.051)
target.

Rob (17:22.363)
Well, what we call it is melee, but yes, the musical melee mailbox and melee has to do with battle. All right. So that's what melee is all about. So the fun with this one, it's in the name. This mailbox is kind of like the best parts of Rob versus SMS back in May and a mailbox. It's a combination of those two things. So this

Craig (17:24.788)
Melee. Melee.

Craig (17:44.973)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:50.361)
mailbox is actually the key to a competition. I can't wait. We've not done this before. It's going to be seriously, it's going to be so much fun. And, I mean, I lost the competition previously and you and I are participating in this one and we will not be on the same team. We're going to make sure of that. And so we're going to see if either of us can motivate our teams to first or second. There are four teams.

Craig (17:54.208)
Wow. Mm-hmm. No.

Hehehehehe

Yeah.

Here we are.

Craig (18:12.173)
Yeah, nope.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:18.193)
All right, so this one's gonna be a little bit different than the Rob versus SMS. There are four teams. They're not led by staff members. we're not the ones that are in charge of all of this. So they're actually musically named teams. super, I'm just like, the whole thing is just so much fun. When you unleash Mari and Dylan and Chad and.

Craig (18:25.076)
No. No. Nope.

Craig (18:34.115)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:38.51)
Yeah.

Rob (18:45.125)
Tamra and the four of them just kind of get flowing on creative crazy ideas It goes from what was just a melee mailbox into a musical melee mailbox so that it's a rock and roll band tribute style theming we Yeah, so it's gonna be nuts. This one is going to be a bit different because of the competition aspect. So we're

Craig (18:51.096)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:54.926)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (19:04.002)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:13.518)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:14.533)
We're gonna be putting everyone into teams by July 1st at 12 o'clock noon, MHQ time. Everyone gets a title. That's how you'll know which team you're in. We're also then going to deliver 31 cards to everyone. So this mailbox is a little bit different in the delivery system. We're gonna give you all 31 cards up front and then...

Craig (19:27.245)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:31.406)
Wow.

Craig (19:38.702)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:40.881)
every day, you're still going to get those rewards that you're used to from a mailbox. I want to jump around so much and just talk about the things that are coming in my head, but I can't, I know, and it's so difficult. yes, so we're gonna go there. There are six different cards per team, all right? So each team is a specific color. You're gonna get six cards.

Craig (19:44.372)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Craig (19:50.754)
Yeah, no, as day by day, day by day, Rob, day by day, Rob. So day one, day one, you eat all the cards. Yes, what sort of cards are they?

Craig (20:08.141)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:11.001)
And there are different quantities of cards because those cards count for different points in the competition. All right. In the competition. So in this way, it's similar to the Rob versus SMS where there was regular gameplay that was happening, right? And then there was a separate leaderboard that was Rob versus SMS and there were different points associated with different actions. The same thing is going to be true here.

Craig (20:20.268)
In the competition, In the competition, they're worth different points. Yes, yes.

Craig (20:27.949)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:41.005)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:41.227)
All players are able to participate in this one, all the players. So you put cards out and non mailbox owners will be able to cap those. The caps and the cap ons from those, those are gonna count in the competition. So you'll wanna put them at locations where you know you're gonna get a lot of caps. The difference is only mailbox owners are going to receive the cards.

Craig (20:45.068)
Yeah, yeah.

Craig (20:53.357)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:02.914)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (21:10.641)
and they're the only ones then obviously they're going to be able to deploy them, right? And then one final piece and then you ask questions or whatever else we need to do and then we'll move to the next section. So you may run out of cards. You're only gonna get 31, right? So you'll need stamps. If you have stamps, you will be able to redeem starting on July 1st, you'll be able to redeem in the redeem store. There will be limited quantities.

Craig (21:11.587)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:24.342)
Yeah. Yep. Yep.

Craig (21:32.93)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (21:38.789)
you know, for each one of the cards and the higher value cards, obviously they're going to be less of those. So the competition is going to be fair because every team is going to have the same options, same availability, but you have to have deployed one of the cards before you'll see it in the redeem store.

Craig (21:39.086)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:45.122)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:57.902)
Yes, yeah, that's right. actually have to, like the Redeem store normally is with cards and that is you would have had to have actually got one already prior to for it to show in the Redeem store from there. So if I'm getting this right, Rob, I buy the mailbox. I get the mailbox and then on July 1st, I will receive what team I am on, whatever color it might be and I get notified via my little profile. And after that, I can look around, I can then talk to my clan members and say, what team are you, what team are you, what team are you? And we can all discuss it.

And then I will receive at the same time all my cards as well on July 1st. So I'll save the 30 cards 30 or 31 cards 31 31 cards, but there's six different types each each different type of the 31 cards is worth the same point value for to deploy into cap about it's worth a different point value in regards to the competition side of things so Obviously, you're gonna receive like one high one or two high

Rob (22:34.417)
31.

Rob (22:38.747)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:55.07)
value cards and then you're going to see maybe receive 10 of the lower value cards. So in my point of view, Robin, that is I would start looking around as a good competition team member. I want to start looking around to try and get the most caps I possibly can on my cards. So I would try and look for the best deploys in my area. Now this goes back to strategic Rob as well, because you've got to have strategy working in play here for you. So whether you decide to put it on the outskirts of

big, big events, for instance, you know, and maybe hopefully get a few caps or maybe hit up the medium or smaller events, knowing that you're going to get every single one of those people that are actually at the event. It's up to you what you do, you play your way, but strategy is going to be in play here as well. of those four teams, and then Rob, so this is again only for mailbox holders. However, if I'm a non mailbox holder and I go to an event and I cap one of these cards, me capping the card still goes towards the competition.

of the actual between the four teams. So, so you'll go from there. So that's pretty much it. There is a leaderboard available on Cuppa Z. Thank you very much to Sam. He's built the leaderboard in like he did the Rob versus SMS and it looks really cool as well. So that's been created as well. Rob, one other thing as well. Yeah. No, of course, of course. Where is it? No, no, no. needs to be, competition needs to be there first. Exactly.

Rob (24:09.219)
It's not going to go live until the competition goes live. So if everyone's like, hey, where is it? Well, until we deploy cards, right? It's not going to be there.

Craig (24:19.802)
Exactly. Otherwise it's going to read zero, zero, zero. What's the, what's the point? There's no point. Exactly. That's true. That's true. So Rob, if I'm on the one of the teams, for instance, and you're on another team as well, the other thing is it doesn't matter what team you and I are on Rob, because we are regular players here. There's nothing we don't get any more than anyone else. We are regular mailbox holders. it's got nothing to do with how many that you would I, put out because we can only put out the same as everyone else.

Rob (24:22.427)
Just wanna make sure everybody remembers that part, yeah.

Craig (24:49.206)
So there's no difference between you and I and every other random regular player who owns a mailbox. So that's that's gonna be an important point as well. I suggest you as I reach out and start talking amongst other clan members, other friends, team members as well and get this competition started. It's gonna be a fun competition Rob, I will say that. Now when it comes to the mailbox you did say as well that you still get you get

Rob (24:49.504)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:13.326)
like presents or prizes every single day you cap once it actually starts as well. So that hasn't changed. That's no different. The only real change at the moment is this competition side of things. Now Rob, I'm gonna put it out there and I'm gonna say my competition, we're gonna win this, all right? And you're gonna get fourth, right? Your team's gonna get fourth. I'm gonna put it out there straight away. So, and the reason why I'm saying this is what do we get if we win the competition, for instance?

Rob (25:30.176)
okay.

Alright, alright, alright.

Craig (25:42.658)
Do we get something? Do we get prizes? What do we get?

Rob (25:45.135)
Yes, first bold statement considering you don't have any idea which players will be on your team, neither do I. Yeah.

Craig (25:49.45)
No. And we'll say that as well, Rob. And that is all randomizers. It's all going to be random. However, top few hundred players will be sorted out between the Munzee team to make sure that they're fair and scattered around.

Rob (26:03.439)
What? Why? Why are you talking about the secret sauce man? Alright, so yeah, that is true. We're going to try and balance things better than we did back when we did team pair versus team pine many, many years ago. So yeah, the this this is the biggest, the best, the highest reward and return mailbox that we have ever put together. And we're doing that on purpose because.

Craig (26:11.308)
It's things we balance.

Craig (26:29.454)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (26:31.885)
It's the birthday because we really want to give back to everyone. We want this to be a lot of fun. We had a good time in May. We had already been planning on doing this. And the May stuff was kind of an offshoot from this because you were chasing me. So here's what here's what everyone gets. They get that they get rewards based on being first, second, third or fourth. There's only 14. So that means everyone gets rewards.

Craig (26:46.114)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:55.786)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (26:59.941)
Those rewards are from the competition side. So just participate, get your cards deployed, you know, and that's it. And you're going to help your team rank up the leaderboard. The value of this mailbox, Mari laid out the framework for it. I looked at it and said, wow. And then she reminded me that on top of the rewards,

Craig (27:03.404)
Yeah.

That's it.

Craig (27:12.366)
That's wrong.

Craig (27:20.589)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:28.017)
that you're going to get from the daily caps, the 31 rewards, which, you know, mean, hey, everybody, don't forget. Yes, it might be 25 ZEDs one day, things balance out because we want to give you 31 prizes, right? So just keep that in mind. Couple of days may seem a little skimpy. Overall, the value and return is very high. It is more than 50 percent, as in twenty five dollar cost. You're going to get

Craig (27:28.341)
yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:40.654)
That's right. That's right.

Rob (27:57.873)
20 or sorry, let's go with 150 % then because you're going to get more than $25 in return and more than an extra $12.50 just off the base. Those of you who make it into first place, you're going to have an extra 100 % return more than like the value of the first place rewards. Take this whole mailbox, including competition rewards over $50 in value.

Craig (28:01.058)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:07.886)
Yeah.

Craig (28:12.206)
Wow.

Craig (28:25.858)
Wow, wow.

Rob (28:27.825)
The even even coming in fourth place, which you say is going to be my team. Even that team is going to come pretty close to an extra like a full 100 % return. It's thank you, premium members like we're we're we're doing what we're doing because people continue to play and we appreciate all of that. We're making this extra fun. So one of the things that everyone's going to get is a level 10 whittle.

Craig (28:32.462)
Yeah.

Mm hmm. Yeah.

Rob (28:56.089)
a brand new level 10 whittle, all right? So it's musical, yeah, yeah.

Craig (28:58.318)
Wow. Well that's just to let you know Rob, just to let people know as well, if you haven't played with the Whittles too much yet, you should and you can do that by opening your Whittles trunk in the actual app store itself as well. Whittles trunks, there are 150 Zs per trunk to open up and you get a random one. So level 10 Whittle, which would mean at minimum you'd have to open up 10 of these trunks. So there's 1500, 1500 Zs already worth in one Whittle. Now Rob.

These widows themselves, they actually scatter something when you cap them as well.

Rob (29:29.701)
Yeah, this one's going to it's going to scatter a wisp. It's going to act just like the zombie whittle that we put out as the one off whittle earlier this year. So it's going to be very similar because it's a level 10. It will cost 25 stars for you to release a new one from the wishing well also.

Craig (29:34.952)
yes. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Craig (29:42.477)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (29:47.022)
So that's perfect as well because there's a lot of people out there, Rob, who didn't go crazy with the whittles, you know, and I can get that. I understand that. And some of them have only a level one whittle, for instance. So they just wanted to try it out. And for them level one will to redeploy that using wishing wheels is 75 stars. And you're like, wow, that's insane. lot of stars. And so this one here will give you automatically give you a one level 10 whittle. If you didn't get the zombie, one level 10 whittle straight away and you can release a new one every single time you've got 25 stars and which

Rob should normally be about weekly at minimum, know, maximum weekly once a week maximum, minimum, whatever you want to call it. So yeah, 25 stars to re-release one of these brand new whittles from the mail. Rob, this mailbox, I told you, it is huge. It is really huge, it is phenomenal. And I will say this, and that is that Mari and the team, et cetera, did all this, not behind Rob's back, but sort of, you know, on the hush hush, I will say that, on the hush hush. And it wasn't until the last minute when Rob said,

Rob (30:20.677)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (30:33.873)
It really is.

Rob (30:41.297)
You

Craig (30:46.616)
Hang on, how much is all this actually worth? And they've got, and then they, they, they mumbled, they mumbled the value and Rob went, and I'm like, it's too late now. It's got to go through. yep, it's, it's going through that way too. So well done. Well done to the team. know.

Rob (30:56.657)
That's right.

Hey, it's all good. As I said, this value balances out in the end with all the other things that we do across the game. get it.

Craig (31:10.574)
Exactly, exactly. So get your mailbox ASAP. Meanwhile, Rob, we're running out of time, so we're gonna quickly Munzee question of the week. And this one's from Finns. Finns down in Florida, he said, would Munzee consider a POI for a car wash or an ice cream shop? A new POI, Rob.

Rob (31:28.177)
Fins, that name sounds familiar from meeting him and knowing him and lots of questions. So thanks again, Fins. Everybody knows we consider all kinds of things. We're not talking about the next POI quite yet. So this type of thing does make sense. It fits into my life personally, because I love ice cream, gelato, frozen custard, fro-yo, sugar. I like sugar. That's all there is to it, right? So anyway.

Craig (31:30.563)
You

Craig (31:35.191)
Yep, yep, yep.

Craig (31:46.516)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (31:53.89)
Mm-hmm. You shouldn't have too much, but anyway.

Rob (31:57.935)
Yeah, sugar shops. And I can sniff those out. So sure, why not put a POI there? Anyway, no guarantees. This sounds like a good idea. Yeah, we're not on that topic quite yet. But when we get there, you just gave us a new suggestion. So thank you.

Craig (32:03.373)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (32:12.994)
then yeah, thank you very much, friends. Rob, we're gonna end down with the Munzee Tip of the Week and I'll just make this point very, very clear. Get yourself a mailbox. If you've never got yourself a mailbox before, you never thought about it, get yourself a mailbox, ASAP. So that's gonna be the and the second tip of the week is get premium membership as well. It's worth it.

Rob (32:36.531)
right.

Craig (32:37.198)
It's worth it. I forgot about that too, because if you want more than level one clans by the sounds of it, you need premium memberships also. They're the two, they're the two tips of the week, Rob. So I'm so looking forward to this mailbox. I'm looking forward to the competition. I'm looking forward to, to beating you again for the third time, Rob, the third time, the third time.

Rob (32:42.354)
I mean, hey.

Rob (32:54.181)
This time, you know who I hope is on my team? I need some apologies from Dragons West and Old Man Trouble. That's all I can say. They better be on my team. We might randomly end up with them magically on mine. Just so they have to play with me.

Craig (33:01.036)
Hahahaha

Craig (33:12.236)
I will say when we said before, they will not, can guarantee W. Helen and Kyle Cracker 7 will not be on the same team. So first and second in the world, they will not be on the same team. But either way, Rob, all I'll say is that it really doesn't matter too much in regards to how big of a player these people are because we've all got the same amount of cards to deploy. So strategy is key. Rob, that ends another official Munzee podcast.
