Craig (00:01.228)
Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.62)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Muncie.

Craig (00:07.754)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell, I started as an avid Munzee player and proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:12.978)
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 (00:20.002)
So sit back, relax today's episode. We're to chat about gardens and bonuses and mechs. there's again, Rob, so much more is coming out or has come out as well. Cause we talk about the blog mostly when we, we read the blog for those who don't read the blog. Yeah, exactly. That's right. Because we read the blog.

Rob (00:34.686)
Yes, it's our job, you know. If we want people to know, then we have to tell them the things that we know, which we read on the blog. Yeah.

Craig (00:47.054)
We also come up with it too, but anyway.

Rob (00:49.16)
Well, I was going to say one of us may write it, but actually it's neither of us that write the official ones.

Craig (00:55.522)
This is absolutely true. Meanwhile, meanwhile, Rob, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit disappointed. I'm a little bit disheartened. Yeah, because you know, one of, one of my, one of my clan members is really letting the clan down. If you're

Rob (01:01.546)
are you? Great. Let's hear why. I knew it. knew it. See, that's why I was like, the way you were starting it off was like, this is gonna be about me. All right.

Craig (01:13.802)
If, if you're, if you're a clan member out there as well, you can, you can, you can relate to this, you know, you've done all the hard work, the hard press, you've done everything you've got the, and your, your avatar is the main avatar in the group challenges for the level five or level six. think, yes, I'm going to get this. And then you see that one, that one player in the individual stats is holding you back. Rob, what do we do?

Rob (01:39.444)
Yeah. Well, what we don't do is whenever I go to a warmer climate, don't I don't tend to go walking quite as much and getting all the physicals or I don't have them built up around me. So yeah, before you even ask what I'm up to this week, I'm going to cap a bunch of greenies to get my crates open to get the clan to the desired level. Yeah, it's time.

Craig (01:59.31)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (02:06.104)
Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. But the correct, you see, took it personally, Rob. I was there trying to educate the players out there. What I normally do is you first of reach out to that particular player and say, look, what do you need to do? Do you need a hand with anything? And really, really you approach them nicely about it. And if they are like, for instance, if they are struggling with opening crates, because that's one of the things for clan wars, then offer them, say, look, do you need some more...

Rob (02:13.95)
How are you?

Craig (02:34.84)
crowbars, you know, I to open your crates. that's all thing too. So, or Q rates for Sam. so yeah, either, either way, that's what I'm saying Rob is you help your other clan members out. you took it personally, you took it personally.

Rob (02:39.944)
No.

Rob (02:47.464)
Well, don't worry, I've got enough crowbars to use. I just have to use my two feet to go and get the rest of the greenies, but it's happening. Don't worry. Hey, what are you up to?

Craig (02:55.778)
This might, I'm, currently touring again. I'm touring across Arizona, California, Nevada. As this goes live, I'll be actually in, to who? Nevada. yeah, yeah, yeah. And then head back this weekend, heading back to Vegas and doing a couple of things in Vegas before heading back to free home. I've to get that in every single time. I know, I know, but now here for a geocaching,

Rob (03:16.754)
Well, yeah, you do. Yeah, you do.

Craig (03:24.078)
know, trip and event, think I spoke about it last week, you know, with the 4,000 cashes and you know, wow, wow. I'll hit over 20,000 fines for my overall total this next week. So there you go. Yeah.

Rob (03:33.918)
Wow. And the good news is that you'll be able to drive your team alone and use the vac and you know, you're not even gonna have to have an eye on the on Muncie, you can still play. So that's good. You know what you need is you need like a virtual auto deployer. What if you had that and it just put out little you know, breadcrumbs along the way? Hey, there's a thought for you. Anyway, that's that's

Craig (03:42.968)
Correct. Correct.

Craig (03:48.952)
I mean...

Craig (03:55.855)
Look at you. You're stirring, you're stirring, but you're business already, Rob. Wow. Wow. No, but and what is for later in the podcast as well is, you know, I've had similar issues per se, but they're not actually issues. They're just similar experiences. I'll call them as other players and we'll discuss that too. Meanwhile, Rob, in the US for last weekend, there was only one event in Minnesota and I did see like

Rob (04:03.806)
That's for later in the podcast. Stick around everyone.

Craig (04:25.482)
Our good friend Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, he's proudly part of the team. He went to that event too and racked up over a million points now gaining on you Rob. This month he's gained, he's gained a million points on you this month, Rob. So that you never know the next, the next, Rob versus Minnesota boy may be coming up around the, around the, around the world, mate. had Ontario, Canada, Germany.

Rob (04:35.22)
Wow. Wow. I didn't see that.

That's sneaky.

Rob (04:49.732)
boy. Somehow I think.

Craig (04:55.222)
Spain and Japan on the Monday too. So that was really cool. Sarah and the team there, I hope you really enjoyed that. Leaderboards over this weekend. Rob, did you want to start on the Friday?

Rob (05:04.97)
Sure, why not. We had NZ Kiwi for 574,000, Tofu Girl 305,000, and Gross Face 1 290,000. Yeah.

Craig (05:15.79)
I did see, I did see gross face too was in fourth place. So, or one one, I should say was in fourth place. There you go. Yeah, exactly. So Saturday, Rob, we had crew. wow. Friend cruiser five from Minnesota, 601,000 points. Then this is a new name, Rob. Two one eight goat girl, two one eight goat girl with 532,000 points. And in third place, we had TJ jacks on 380,000 points on Sunday.

Rob (05:19.621)
hmm. okay, nice.

Rob (05:28.17)
CREM.

Rob (05:34.986)
All right.

Rob (05:43.082)
Jaroslav Kos with 475,000 VATOTech 329 and Tofu Girl 272,000.

Craig (05:51.681)
Now Rob this weekend, it's going to be huge because there's no events at all. Not, not in the U S and not around the world. Yeah.

Rob (05:56.266)
Nice fake. We've got this dry period of like what 10 or 12 days worth of no events, which is yeah, the end of the month, the end of November in particular. you know, America, got Thanksgiving. So happy Thanksgiving everyone out there, Americans. And yeah, so everybody else just kind of chill in their way into December, but December full.

Craig (06:06.7)
yeah it happens

Mm-hmm.

Craig (06:16.61)
Yeah. That's right.

Craig (06:22.638)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (06:25.962)
of Christmas events full and filling up even more. Yeah, so Lou has been very busy. If anybody wants to get a holiday event on the calendar, please do it.

Craig (06:28.984)
Full, yeah. Yep,

Craig (06:38.45)
For December, exactly. Meanwhile, Rob, we're going back to Thanksgiving. I will say happy Thanksgiving to you, sir. And even though I'm from Australia, we've never celebrated Thanksgiving. It's an American thing because of the history of it, et cetera, et cetera. But I will say it's one of my favorite times of the year because I love the idea of giving thanks to your family and friends and loved ones. So everyone out there should...

Rob (06:43.048)
thank you.

Rob (07:02.26)
Yes.

Craig (07:04.302)
Don't call it that you don't have to go Thanksgiving because it's American. can just say, you know, have a some, some time to, your family and friends from, you know, spend some quality time and eat some quality food. So that's probably, that's probably the thing. Well, like it the most to be honest with you, but anyway, the big events coming up, Rob, uh, December 7th, new market England. This one here is, is, said before last week, this could be a mega before they even start. Um, that's on December 7th in new market England at January nine to 11 North Netherlands, if our old case birthday.

Rob (07:18.228)
Probably.

Craig (07:32.495)
January 16th to 18th Munzey Mecca in Florida. That one's building too. February 20th. Oh, the Munzey Mecca. saw some new gardens being published out there too. So yes, Coal Cracker 7 and the team out there publishing gardens in and around the, uh, the event locations, which is really cool. Um, February 20th, Foley, Alabama, the day before Bama Rama Mega as well. And I'll be there hosting that one March 6th and 7th Munzey Madness, four events.

Rob (07:51.966)
That's cool.

Craig (08:01.966)
Um, that one there is going to be quite fun. Rob over in California and then in September, 18 to 20 Muncie mania, Minnesota. I've still got to say it that way. don't know why, but anyway. So there you have it, Rob. They're all the events for the weekend, the past, et cetera. Now let's get on to what's been happening this week.

Rob (08:12.468)
Hmm, okay.

Rob (08:22.814)
Yes, let's. How about we start off with something easy? Gardens of the Month. Yeah, so we passed out the Gardens of the Month. So congrats to Dad35 who designed the Eiffel Tower that's in Hamburg, Germany. Did you know that there was an Eiffel Tower in Hamburg? There's not. It's just a virtual garden. That was a joke. So yeah, it was a nice looking garden. I know you're looking at me for real like what?

Craig (08:27.349)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (08:37.058)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (08:44.334)
Yeah.

Craig (08:50.644)
It's too early. It's too early for Rob jokes.

Rob (08:53.098)
Ah, well, and I got three hours of sleep on a flight. So, hey, what are you gonna do? It's gonna be a bad one. Then the other winner. So again, congrats, Dad 35. And to all of those who deployed in that garden, you got a sweet looking badge. Then the other one was designed by Cruiser 5, who we just mentioned on the leaderboards. And it's the Rocky Mountain National Park, which is in Larimer, Colorado. So those were the two that were chosen for November.

Craig (08:57.016)
There you go.

Craig (09:12.525)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:17.166)
you

Yeah.

Rob (09:23.572)
What do you have to say about that?

Craig (09:24.802)
All I'll say Rob is everyone get into their gardens in early. We've the whole list is there for all of 2026. So you get a garden in, don't try and get one in right now for December, for instance, it's, it's going to take too long to fill up. remember the smaller the garden they are, then the quicker they are to fill up. have to be 50 pins cause they have to have a POI as well. No temporary virtuals in there whatsoever. So no cards, no potions, none of that sort of stuff. They've all got to be actual virtuals that stay on the map. But I will say Rob.

When choosing this month, just gone by, it's not just me that chooses. It's a, it's as a team of us that choose. There was four to choose from. We, this is the first month, I think ever that we've had this garden of the month back that I've been involved in, whereby it was really a split decision. It really was a split. It was hard decision to make between these, uh, these four that were out there as well. And I won't mention the other two because you never know. They may come back in for garden of the month for something else. So if you don't win garden of the month.

Rob (10:22.783)
Yes.

Craig (10:24.172)
you can put it in again and again and again, if it suits or relates to the topic and theme. So that's all I'll say about that, Rob. mean, yeah, it was fun to go back and forward. And in the end we did one sort of, cause it was the theme itself was, was national treasure, I think it was, or something similar. I can't even remember now. I didn't write it in the notes. Yeah. Yeah. And so we did one like manmade style and one natural style. So that's what it was.

Rob (10:43.067)
Yeah, I think so, right? I believe so.

Craig (10:52.578)
Very, very cool indeed. right, Rob, moving on now to December event schedule. man. You said, you said at the beginning of November, we, we, as in Munzee dropped the ball a little bit in regards to November, you know, bonus weekends, et cetera. We didn't let them know until too late. This time it's nice and early for everyone out there and wow, it needed to be. Tell us more about the adventure mailbox bonus event.

Rob (11:07.562)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:17.532)
Well, there's something going on every single day of the month if, if you're a mailbox owner, right? So mailbox owners, kind of like whenever we give premium members, you know, special perks, we appreciate those who support the game and the adventure mailbox obviously was not free. So thanks for getting those. If you do not have a mailbox yet, then please go to the online store and get one. Those are $25.

Craig (11:23.886)
Yeah.

Craig (11:33.014)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (11:47.89)
It gives you 31 days of prizes. also gives you 31 days of bonus points and special, special events. kind of call them, you know, within our world. So how about if I just talk? So the easiest thing for people to do would be to you to look at the news section in the app, because you can see all the information beyond that.

Craig (11:59.567)
Mm.

Craig (12:10.755)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (12:13.946)
on social media and also on our blog. We've got a very nice graphic, which I'm sure someone's going to take it and make it look different and possibly better. Who knows, but we've got a graphic that always happens. and there it is. let me tell you about the colorful things. So we have double magnet strength on the first through the fourth. have double mini cubimoles. that's kind of like what we've been testing, what we tested a couple of weeks ago or last week.

Craig (12:40.865)
Mmm.

Rob (12:42.69)
so every crate that you open is going to have double mini cubimals in it again. on, from the 15th to the 18th, you, we've got a double mech deploys and this one goes outside the world of the mailbox. This is for every player. December 15th to 18th, double mech deploys. I wonder if that ties in to some clam requirements. Maybe it does between me and you. Yeah.

Craig (12:59.118)
Everyone.

Craig (13:09.888)
And if it does Rob, I'll stop it right there. If it does, everyone, all you players out there have been shown that you get double mech deploys between the 15th and 18th. What that means, if you don't understand it yet, that is if you're a player and you have mechs ready to go, cogs ready to go, you are not going to deploy them on the first to the 14th. You're not. In the first two weeks, you're not going to deploy them. So what I suggest you do is do not, I repeat,

Do not put out a scrap star expecting it to be full because there'll be no mechs on the map. So, and don't complain about that. It's not being full. We're told you now, I've told you now, the calendar's there now for you as well. Do not do it and then go to the water cooler and make the complaint from there because that's what happens. But you're warned.

Rob (13:42.143)
Hahaha.

Rob (13:59.082)
100 people on December 3rd with a scrap star on the map and and that will be 97 upset people. So, yes, I agree, please. Please. The first three people will get plenty of plenty of Max. it's painful. Anywho.

Craig (14:08.031)
boy.

but that's it. that's, but that's, I'm just, I'm just letting people know Rob, cause some people don't actually understand that either. You know what I mean? So this is what I said before about this game being a game of strategy, you know, and clan wars goes the entire month from the third to the 31st, which means you don't have to be at level. You can't be at level six from the 10th anyway, because you've got days of play. you, but you can't just go, well I'll do everything except for days of play to the 10th. No, hold off. Space yourself out.

Rob (14:18.73)
Yeah.

Rob (14:24.105)
Yes.

Craig (14:42.028)
December is the month for visiting family and friends and having that Christmas cheer up, know, so, you know, experience it, smooth it out throughout the whole month, smooth out your Munzee play throughout the whole month, not just all in the first two weeks. Anyway.

Rob (14:46.824)
Okay.

Rob (14:54.9)
Wow, this is like the intermission right in the middle of the podcast with a chat, a pointed chat from see my shell. Excellent. I will say that claim requirements are coming out as usual on the 28th, which as this podcast goes live, that means a few hours from now. So they come out on Friday. Yay. Get ready, everyone.

Craig (15:01.824)
I know, I know, I know.

Craig (15:16.438)
Yes. Yeah.

Rob (15:20.172)
then we also have another event, going on in December. It's the 22nd through the 25th. It's double magnet strength. So yes, we know not everyone enjoys the magnets. That's okay. This one's at the end of the month. So if you need some more points, that's the whole point of it being toward the end of the month. Enjoy. That's all I got to say about that. okay.

Craig (15:27.832)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:39.713)
And Rob, I'll say something about that now too. See, again, this leads in, this leads in perfectly to the month that is 25th is Christmas day. If you're, if you're stuck at home on Christmas day and you're busy because your family's coming over, you're cooking that Turkey, you're cooking that, you're putting the prawns on the barbecue, whatever you might be doing, wherever you're in the world, you've got, you've got a, Skyland or a tree house at your house. Magnetize that you've got double magnet strength. Bam. There you go. Done.

One cap, you're all done, 14 bounces. That's some good points for that day. Move on and enjoy Christmas day. So yeah, see?

Rob (16:14.174)
Yeah. Hey, even for the other side of the coin, you don't celebrate Christmas. Cool. Go out, do a last little long drive because nobody else is going to be on the road. So throw some magnets and have a good time. All right. The final event piece of the month is double Whittle's points and goes for deploys everything from the 29th through the 31st. There's double points on

Craig (16:21.324)
Yeah.

Craig (16:29.162)
you

Craig (16:39.138)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:40.85)
All different types of things throughout the entire month. It's greenies and cards for the mailbox owners. We've got virtual colors and jewels. The first weekend mysteries and destinations. The second weekend, the third weekend is double points on mechs and bouncers. What? And then the. Yeah. Crazy.

Craig (16:55.712)
What is that after the double make deploys? Wow. Wow. It's like, it's like, it's like someone at Munzee HQ sort of understands the play.

Rob (17:05.034)
If I were a player, I would put a scrap star out on the 19th because the 19th is when all the deploys will be bouncing. You get double points and it's going to any who. the final weekend is double points on gaming and evolutions. And that is the event schedule for December. Don't look at it. It's on the blog and there's no way you're going to remember. So that's it.

Craig (17:12.984)
Yeah.

Craig (17:20.333)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:27.296)
Yeah, yeah. No, no, it's on there. And yeah, and screen save it if you need to know exactly what's what and go from there. Meanwhile, Rob, let's talk about speaking of the double mechs, et cetera. Let's talk about the new mech that come out. A Sirloin mech has come out. Tell us more about Sirloin.

Rob (17:43.402)
I don't remember. This is some sort of dad joke line, isn't it? Sir Lone is the new mech. available in the online store. He's seven cogs to rebuild. A nice little mech to go along with. It's the dads of Sir Wood Forest or something like that, isn't it? I think that's what it's called. Yeah. So

Craig (17:52.95)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (17:58.68)
Yeah.

Craig (18:06.956)
That's the one. Look at you remembering. Wow.

Rob (18:10.276)
Sir Cuttree was one of the early ones as well. They're pretty entertaining.

Craig (18:13.76)
Mm-hmm. You never, you never know what other sirs may come out. So, or mams for that matter too. So we'll say that. this one's actually on sale right now at the moment too, on store. So it's cheaper than what it normally is. So go, if you haven't got your sirloin mech, go and get it and because you get the blueprint with it and then you can utilize that for the double mech deploys, you see, for your seven cogs rebuild. There you go. Meanwhile, Rob, the winter BVG's have now been out and they sold out. They sold out so far. They always sell out fast these ones.

Rob (18:18.643)
Mmm.

Rob (18:35.284)
Hey, nice.

Craig (18:43.648)
So tell us more about the Winter BVG.

Rob (18:47.892)
So the Winter BVG's were built by lovely C. Marshall. Great designs, well done, always popular. They're very unique, they're very limited. This time we set them up so that they were sold 10 hours apart and everyone was limited to only one per garden. So there were four gardens, which means if you were online for each of the sales every 10 hours when they started,

Craig (18:52.75)
you

Craig (19:03.715)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:07.267)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:15.306)
Then yes, you could have purchased one of those BBG pens Yeah, so what's the point in doing that the point in us limiting and separating the sales by that many hours is just for different players around the world different time zones, you know able to have preference

Craig (19:18.902)
Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (19:32.706)
Yeah. And everyone, everyone gets a chance rather than exactly rather than one person just like, you know, Chuck some cash down and go bam. And they take the entire garden and, we know, we all know these gardens, these BVGs, how many times they bounce around the world and how many points you actually get for what they are. It's incredible. Absolutely incredible. So

Rob (19:56.732)
Yeah, the events over this past weekend had these brand new gardens bouncing to them. But I decided that that I wanted to hold it back just a little bit and not make every garden bounce to every event. So that way people, you know, still have to go to some December events in order to get the other winter BBGs. Yeah. So these are going to bounce all the way through until January 1st. And yeah.

Craig (20:01.492)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:10.179)
Yeah.

Craig (20:13.854)
Mm-hmm. That's right.

Yeah, very true.

Craig (20:24.446)
Mm-hmm. So there's a lot of work for them to do in December, Rob, with all the calendar by the looks of things too, which is really cool. meanwhile, Rob, the community vote now is still ongoing. We spoke about this last week on the, on this, on this show. it ends on Sunday. So if you haven't done the community vote yet and you want to have a say in, then go into the community vote and have a look. I will say this as well. If you don't care for the community vote, then don't.

Rob (20:26.068)
That's what's happening with BBGs.

Craig (20:52.206)
play the community vote. Like, that's all it is.

Rob (20:55.284)
then just hang on to your community credits and don't use them. And yeah, that's fine. No problem. If you hate all of them, go in and download everything. That's fine. Just send a message to us somehow through these community credits or just don't vote. And that's fine too. Yeah.

Craig (21:00.012)
They don't take

Craig (21:03.672)
That's-

Ha ha ha!

Craig (21:10.702)
It maxes out at 1000 community credits and you can't see it on your map. You have to go in somewhere special to see how many community credits you have. So just ignore pieces of the game you don't like.

Rob (21:22.298)
Go into the camp hub. You can see how many you have when you click on the little yellow birdhouse ballot box thingy Click on that tells you how many you have tells you you know If you want to vote and there's a slider you can use all of them. None of them. It's all good So yeah, yeah, go give it a check. Yeah, what were you gonna say?

Craig (21:28.919)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:33.676)
I do. Yeah. Yeah. I will say.

I will say after, after we recorded last week and then when they came out as well, it was quite a good conversation piece on the water cooler in regards to, I think it was Ryan Roche actually said he doesn't like the down voting side of things because he feels like it cancels out his vote. So in other words, you can cancel and it's not actually the case because if you have a look, it doesn't cancel out the vote because it goes in green, which is a positive, but then there's the red, which is negative. So you're not actually canceling anyone's vote out.

All you're is you're showing Munzee, should say, the fact is that, I really don't want that. You know what I mean? That's what I think too. So if you have a look, you may have a thousand votes for the positive on one and one negative vote. And then you've got a thousand votes or 2000 votes on another one, but then you've got a thousand negative votes. You go and hang on. See, that second one is a more controversial, whereas the first one, more people like it. You know what mean? So we can actually gauge and tell which, which...

ideas that people like and which ones they're sort of humming and haring about and that sort of thing too. So it's not about cancelling votes, I'll say that. It's more about giving us an idea as to what would be controversial and what would be nice and easy.

Rob (22:54.154)
Um, yeah, it's an, it is a perfect example because right now the daily daily stroll upgrades is in the lead. And as of right now, over 6,000 votes and downvotes 88, like that, that's, that's a, an overwhelming positive reaction as opposed to what I talked about, which was the Z-Bay marketplace, which has just under 4,000 votes and

Craig (22:57.997)
Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Craig (23:08.148)
Exactly. So you can tell.

Craig (23:12.845)
Yeah.

Rob (23:21.61)
1000 downright. that's a yeah, that that sends a message that yes, there's some some controversy there if you will.

Craig (23:23.948)
There you go, see, so.

Craig (23:28.13)
Yes.

controversy. like to call it controversy. It is true. It's true. Meanwhile, Rob, moving on, we've got the traveling troops are back as well, but they've been back all this week since this podcast goes live and they're only available for Friday, Saturday, Sunday. What's left from now.

Rob (23:44.884)
Yep, so track them down. Will they be back? Of course they will.

Craig (23:46.86)
Yeah. Mm hmm. Exactly. and they're, they're, like the traveling troops, Rob, because they do land on the flats, you see. So if you've got a flat garden, you, that sort of thing, then you will get, quite a few traveling troops bouncing all those flight gardens. and they are pretty cool. Just extra points for nothing really, to be honest with you for playing the game. Rob, I'm going to move on now to the question, not the question of the the questions, questions of the week.

Rob (24:11.704)
boy.

Craig (24:13.671)
and this came about after the vac was released. and even we spoke about some of these issues last week on the podcast, but we're going to reiterate them again. what first question is why is it 30 minutes or a hundred Munsies? And the reason for that is some people are saying mine only lasted 30 seconds. So, and that's because it goes to the hundred Munsies. So if you're in a high area, I mean, we've seen it before, you know, I've done it before where I've been in a high Munsy area and have activated the vac.

And it's just gone up and down within five seconds because it's a hundred months. I've acted like a blast, but it basically blasted every virtual rather than just the non blast, the non blast balls as well. So what's the benefits of why, why the 30 or a hundred, because people are saying it, people are saying they want 30 minutes full stop and they can cap as many of they want 30 minutes. It's like, tell us more, tell us more Rob.

Rob (25:03.444)
course they do. Yeah. Imagine, imagine what it would be if we left you with an unlimited 30 minute virtual auto capture. Believe me, it would be layered in gold. So that is not how that's going to go down. Instead, we decided that what would make sense was the, you know, the rule of the blast because this is like a moving blast. So 100 Munsies

Craig (25:12.021)
Wow. Yeah.

Craig (25:18.061)
I

Craig (25:29.941)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (25:32.171)
And the same thing is true with the blast. A blast will cap up to 100 Munzees. It's not guaranteed 100 Munzees every single time. It's up to 100 within a mile. So this has the same type of parameters built in. It's up to 100 or 30 minutes. so yeah, can they go in 30 seconds? Absolutely. If you choose a very, very densely populated place, yeah, it's gonna go quick.

Craig (25:37.793)
Mm-hmm. No. No.

Craig (25:54.828)
Yeah.

Craig (26:00.045)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (26:01.87)
is that faster than you sliding and tapping? a hundred times guaranteed it is. so yeah, that's the reason for, know, the using the vac, the purchase that goes into that. So don't forget this is $1. at least that's what the cost is right now for Z crew as they're purchasing these to, to use, you know, any additional ones after the freebie that we gave them. so yeah, it's very much still being tested.

Craig (26:12.824)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:16.905)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:26.595)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (26:30.731)
We're looking for the feedback and yeah, we're seeing it.

Craig (26:32.526)
And we've got some good feedback too. some, we're seeing some like, not just good feedback, but for an actual, when I say good feedback, I don't mean, yeah, this is great. I mean, good feedback as in, know, how about something like this and some ideas that came through and there was being some issues that come through as well, which is really good to see some issues that you and I didn't pick up Rob, for instance, you know, because we can't test, we can only test what's on our map, for instance, you know what I mean? So if I'm in a, in an area where I'm only going to get 80

caps in 30 minutes, then I can't test the multiple VACs and that sort of thing too, so which is really good to see. But I will say as well is that the next question itself would be do the filters work like blasts with the filter? does it work like with you have filters on the VAC?

Rob (27:18.748)
If you set the blast filters and you use the toggle and you turn it on, that is how you also use those filters within the VAC. It's not what you have on the map. It is set the blast filter, toggle that on, and then if that's toggled on, that's all it's gonna get in the VAC. Test that because that's how it's supposed to work. If it's not working that way, send in a support ticket.

Craig (27:30.691)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:34.67)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:47.036)
If you don't have the blast filter toggle on, it will be backing absolutely everything. All the virtuals except the shooting stars. Everything else.

Craig (27:54.346)
Mm-hmm.

That's right. Including wishing wheels. So that moves on to the next one, Rob, is that does it pick up all virtuals like POIs and resorts, et cetera? You just said that as well. It picks up everything except for stars. And one thing I'll go as another thing as well, and that is with resorts, for instance, people are saying, does picking up a resort, does it class as a one capture out of the hundred or does every room class as one?

Rob (28:05.64)
it better.

Rob (28:20.502)
It is supposed to be one resort is one cap. And that's it. So, yeah. Yep. We are testing that to make sure, but that is the answer. Yeah.

Craig (28:24.428)
Yep. No matter how many rooms are in there. That's right. That's right. like that too. Yep. Another thing I'd like to point out as well, you just mentioned before in regards to the price, price point on this as well compared to sort of a blast, it's a lot cheaper than a blast, but some people have noticed, Robin, I did too. went to the, I went to the store and the store says $25 and scratched out and it's got $5 written there, you know, and they've gone, well, you know, that's, that's, you know, what's going on there.

I screenshot, I sent the person who asked me the message, I send that person back the screenshot and circled, it says plus five, but the plus five is like a sticker across how many would ordinarily be there. So I said, you're paying $5 for five right now. The $25 isn't going to be for five in the future, just saying. So there's a sticker. If you have a look closely at the actual

the picture itself, there's a sticker saying like plus like for five, across it, across the number that it normally is. So. Yep. Yep. I know. You know, I can see it in your eyes. Yes. And you can see that. And you can see that. That's gone now from the.

Rob (29:28.17)
I got you. You've got me so concerned that I'm opening the store like, wait, what does that mean? Why does it say 25? What? I see now what you're talking about. There's a compare at price. Now there's not done.

Rob (29:46.718)
That was an accident.

Craig (29:48.055)
This is another question. And this is actually quite a decent question, but again, it's probably one that you can't answer because you have to ask the tech crew. And that is, can we add the number of capped Munzees under the countdown timer? So we can sort of count as it goes through. It's too hard. They render out.

Rob (30:02.492)
We, I, I, I don't expect us doing this. Sam will be the one who can answer it, but this is not on the radar of like, Hey, this is necessary. what, what we've got, what we've put together is this is our launch product and, and then we want to do a few things to make sure that it works properly, which is why we're doing this big open beta testing. And then there are things that we would have down the road called Polish. So this might be something for Polish. However,

Craig (30:07.554)
Hmm. Yeah.

Craig (30:17.026)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (30:21.975)
Yeah.

Craig (30:28.895)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (30:32.338)
countdown timer, I can only imagine that like, well, not a countdown timer, we already have that but having something that you can numbers that you could actually read, showing how many and that it would click. All of that seems far too complicated for all that we're trying to do here, really. So yeah, that's what I would say.

Craig (30:40.418)
Cap down, Thomas. A cap down, Thomas.

Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. No, that's, that's what that's, that was my thought too when, when I looked at it also. So, uh, it is what it is. Uh, maybe we're going to get in with the Munzee tip of the week and speaking of the Vax as well. I experienced this myself personally, and therefore then credit this Munzee tip of the week from it. And that is please players out there do not do what I did.

Do not do my mistake. Do not deploy any, any destinations like a scrap star or a tunnel of hugs or any of those sort of things whilst you're running the vac because it will cap it straight away and there's got no chance to actually get any bounces on it. So if you're running a vac, do not, do not deploy any of those sort of temporary destinations whereby you can, you know, attract things on them, you know, so.

Rob (31:40.914)
It's nice of you to learn the lessons for people. Hopefully they will listen so that they don't have to learn the lesson as well. Yep.

Craig (31:44.812)
Yeah. And I learned that lesson the hard way and I missed out on a whole day of that capping that one as well. anyway, Rob, we'll on that note, that ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (31:53.128)
