Craig (00:01.017)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.572)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:07.437)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell, started as an avid Munzee player, now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:12.448)
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 (00:19.397)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode, Rob, we've got a few new things in the works as well. We're talking about the Munzee videos, we're talking BVGs as well. Bonus events have finally come out for January as well. Thanks to a little bit of a little Christmas, New Year break that everyone needs out there in the world too. So we'll get all those out in this episode and of course ending Rob with a good, a very, very good tip of the week.

Rob (00:37.71)
It's true.

Rob (00:44.406)
If you do say so yourself, yes.

Craig (00:46.011)
This is true. This is true. Well, it's a tip. It's a tip that I actually used on a friend of mine, a friend at Monday player as well. Smile makers. He's, he's really good for tips of the week because he reaches out to me asking questions all the time. And that's perfect. I love that sort of stuff. It invigorates the mind. It sort of makes you think about this game more on a strategic level than just going out and capping everything you can, you know, that's something too, which is

Rob (00:55.888)
okay.

Rob (01:12.012)
That's true.

Craig (01:13.017)
what I enjoy about this game as do many others. Meanwhile, Rob, what have you been up to in this new year? 2026, mate, 2026.

Rob (01:21.07)
Wow, yeah, because last time we recorded it wasn't quite New Year. So officially Happy New Year to you and all the players now that it is official as we record. But yeah, man, we have come into 2026 with so much work to do. it it we we took those couple of extra days off after

Craig (02:30.913)
Mm-hmm. It is, it is, it is. And at Florida in January, I'm telling you now, if you can't make it to Florida in January for Munzey Mecca, make sure you deploy cards. I'll just say that. But otherwise those people who are making it, I mean, I know for certain, Rob, I told everyone before I'm going there, I'm making it there as well. We've got another team member coming as well. Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy.

Rob (02:44.142)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah.

Craig (02:58.659)
And then we've got a, I'm going to call him a team groupie and that is a special guest. want to call him a team groupie instead, but the special guest, the GCV is going to be joining us in, in Florida as well. he'll have his video camera there to take videos and photos and whatever. so very excited to have the four of us roaming around Florida. Look at Florida. I don't know. Is he going to be a hot tub involved this year? I don't think so.

Rob (03:03.118)
special guest but yes that too.

Rob (03:23.886)
No, no, I that that one didn't work out. So, you know, that's a that's something definitely historic for us. we've done in the past, but no, not this time. So, yeah. You know what? Just hit me badges. We need to get those traveling badges made. So Dylan doesn't listen, but I mean, you know, we need to write that down.

Craig (03:28.771)
you

Mm-hmm. That's okay. That's What's that? Yes.

Yes, we do. Yes, we do, Yes, we do. Yep. Yes, we do. Meanwhile, Rob, speaking of Florida, I recently this week did some extreme, extreme testing during, I did a 16 hour round trip drive over two days, of course, but 16 hour round trip drive to Florida, Tampa, in fact, Florida. I was there. I went to the Stras Center. Have you heard of the Stras Center in Tampa, Florida?

It's a, it's a theater and a good friend of the Munzee team, a really, really good mate, Eagle Dad and Xenia, but mostly Eagle Dad. He works there. He's, he's a volunteer at the theater as well, but I was there watching the outsiders. Do you, do you know that movie or the, or the stage show at all? No. Yeah.

Rob (04:13.388)
have heard of it, but yeah.

Rob (04:34.062)
I don't know the stage show for sure. I think I know the movie, but then again, I don't know.

Craig (04:39.29)
Yeah. We're talking the movie back in, back in 1985 or 87 or something, the movie came out as well called the outsiders. No, no, no. The outsiders, it's basically like, uh, they call it, uh, they, they call it like, you know, um, greases versus the socials, know, that sort of style. It's a group of, um, group of boys, but, but Rob, the actual, movie itself, we're talking stars up the wazoo in this movie. We're talking Rob Lowe.

Rob (04:46.446)
Is it the vampire one?

Rob (04:58.208)
Okay. Okay.

Craig (05:08.206)
We're talking Tom Cruise. We're talking Patrick Swayze. We're talking all the huge stars when they were in teenagers were in this movie, The Outsiders. And I will say it's a very good movie, very sort of the normal sort of gang sort of related movie. That's the style. Really cool. It follows the, the Greece's and, and, the socials and how they go about things. But the musical, Rob, I'm telling you, it just hits differently. It hits different. I do love the theater. I do love musicals.

Rob (05:09.742)
All right, gotcha.

Rob (05:15.427)
Right.

Rob (05:33.585)
really?

Craig (05:36.074)
And, and Gary, he's a, he's a big guy out there and he's, he's the same as me. We got a little soft spot for musicals, Rob. You wouldn't, you wouldn't think it would you?

Rob (05:40.248)
Yeah.

I know I enjoy them too. I mean like a lot. So yeah, I, I agree. It's not something that we all talk about often, but yeah.

Craig (05:48.918)
Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah.

No, no, especially on the Munzee podcast, but speaking of Munzee though, that's what I was doing. I was, I was utilizing the VAC, Rob. I was utilizing, you know, points boosters. was utilizing, what do you call it? The radius boosters as well. Rob, I had five boosters going at once. as I traveled down the highway at the legitimate speed, not touching my phone and literally I could see it sucking up all the actual Munzees as I drove through. it was, it's getting quicker.

as well. will say the app is getting quicker. If people haven't noticed it by now, then you should be noticing it. It is getting quicker. There have been some updates come through as well. Thanks. Thanks, Scott. Yeah, absolutely. They have been. And even to the point where Gary reached out to me, I think last week, the week before saying thanks for the blast speed. The blasts have been really quick too. So well done on all the app updates.

Rob (06:32.312)
Blame Scott, yeah.

Rob (06:43.853)
Yeah.

Rob (06:47.977)
We've, we've been putting a lot of work into that. Uh, it's never stopped over years now. Um, but, uh, but the quality, I would say of the work that we're putting in, um, Scott, uh, went away for a while, you know, he went and learned some new tools and, uh, he brought, he brought that toolkit back over to Munzee. You've been helping us out since September and ma'am.

Craig (06:50.882)
Mm-hmm. No, no, no.

Craig (06:56.931)
Yes.

Craig (07:02.212)
Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (07:09.901)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (07:10.751)
I have sent him many messages that are so much nicer than the ones that I used to send him. Love you, Scott.

Craig (07:13.594)
Mm hmm. No, exactly. Exactly. And one more thing, Gary, speaking of Eagle dad, I feel his pain, Rob, because I broke my deploy streak again, the other week. So I know Gary, mate, I understand the pain and suffering that you will go through, but, uh, you know, it's what happens.

Rob (07:29.512)
Wah wah wah

Rob (07:36.536)
Hey, why don't you ask me if you can get a deploy mulligan? man, I was so ready, so ready to tell you.

Craig (07:39.611)
No, because I know the answer to that. I've asked you several times. I've asked you several times. Meanwhile, Rob, the weekend that was, have last week we had Iowa and Texas and around the world, mate, we had? That's all it was, but the leaderboards, were quite surprising. The leaderboards on Friday, Colecracker 7 back in first place with 366,000 points, followed by Jaroslav Kas with 192,000 points.

Rob (07:52.316)
England!

Craig (08:07.098)
And then Ron SA with 151,000 points on Saturday,

Rob (08:12.558)
Stratford Ender $446,000, Coal Cracker 7 $441,000, and NZ Kiwi $379,000.

Craig (08:21.818)
And then on Sunday we had, Oh, JB 85 clicked over a million points on Sunday as well. Uh, followed by Colecracker seven again with 433,000 points. And then in third place, stickers 71 on 342,000 points. will say good to see Colecracker back on the leaderboards again. Uh, she's been off having some more foot surgeries done as well. So get well soon, Linda. I'll say that. Um, and see you, see you next weekend in Florida.

Rob (08:27.021)
Woo!

Rob (08:46.328)
See her this next weekend.

Craig (08:50.23)
So, and, we'll hopefully we'll be able to walk around with you collecting some pins and some cake as well, Linda. So we'll see you there. So get well soon with all her foot. Cause I remember seeing her a couple of months ago, Robin, that too, when she was actually in a booth for quite some time. So, yeah, it's good to see her back on the mend and back on the leaderboard where she belongs. Now the events, the events come up this weekend. have California, Alabama, Arizona, South Carolina, and North Carolina and around the world.

Rob (09:17.282)
Well, in the Netherlands they have three events celebrating FRLK's birthday. Happy birthday Finland, Germany and two in Denmark.

Craig (09:22.786)
Mm hmm.

Craig (09:27.878)
And then the big events, of course, we have the North Netherlands this weekend, 9th to 11th, three big events for FROK's birthday, as you said. January 16th to 18th, this is the Munzee Mecca in Florida. Again, get your Willattens, get your flights booked, get your accommodations done because it's going to be a big one. Then February 20th, Ifoli, Alabama, the day before Bama Rama mega event, March 6th and 7th, Munzee madness over there in California. Four events, one on Friday, three on Saturday.

And don't forget then September 18 to 20, Muncie mania in Minnesota. So, I don't know why it's a habit for me. Probably say these things weirdly.

Rob (10:04.662)
I know the Minnesotans should beat it out of you. That's what I think. mean, send you messages telling you to anyway.

Craig (10:07.962)
they should actually know they, they, they like it because it's something different. You see, that's what it is. Don't worry. Don't worry, Rob. I do get messages, saying, asking me to sort of say things differently. Sometimes I'll say that. So meanwhile, Rob, let's talk about the developments that's coming up this week. First and foremost, the Munzee.

Rob (10:22.254)
I'm sure you do. I'm sure you do.

Craig (10:34.176)
Monthly moments video winners for December were announced. Congratulations to the Queens purse. She did a great job, on her Munzee monthly moments video. Get your videos in for January. Get them in ASAP. It's easy. January is an easy one, Rob. All you have to do is now listen very carefully. You must video yourself capping a physical or a virtual. If you don't know how to do that, it's called screen record. So cap, don't just show the physical Munzee. mean, look, I'll be honest with you.

I've been still approving those people just showing a QR code sticker, Munzee sticker on a poll, but I want to see what it is. You know what mean? I want to see you capture it. I want to see how many points you get. So capture that Munzee itself. And then after that, all you have to do, Rob, is obviously say your Munzee name, but tell us your Munzee resolutions for 2026. Mine, sir. Mine is going to be keep my deploys streak.

Rob (11:29.944)
hahahahah

Craig (11:32.254)
I don't know how that's going to go. Cause you know, I may have already lost it again. We'll soon see it. It's only like a week into the new year, but anyway, that's just me. Do you, do you have any Munzee resolutions? Robin, let's chuck it out there to you straight away. Look at that. This is even on the show notes. No.

Rob (11:38.776)
Good luck to you. I've told you long ago. I gave up on that one. Yeah.

Rob (11:48.706)
Wow. No, it's not. And because of that, I'm not at all prepared because I mean, my Munzee resolutions are the ones that are company resolutions. Do I have some? Yes, I do. so, maybe, maybe for me, you know, it would be something along the lines of what other players can do too, which is just, not only growing the map, but growing the player base because that is a company wide goal. are going to spend more time focusing on.

Craig (11:53.891)
No. I know. Yep. Yep.

Craig (12:14.474)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Rob (12:18.496)
So, you know, if players out there want to get involved and help us meet goals that we have that are going to be big ones for the year of bringing in new players, cool. Help us out. Everyone's got a referral code. Why not come up with some creative ways to use that? And even better, if you have some ideas for us on how we grow the game beyond spending tens of thousands of dollars trying to trying to find more people.

Craig (12:26.147)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:29.625)
Yeah.

Craig (12:34.02)
Yeah.

Craig (12:39.236)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:43.295)
Ha ha ha ha ha

Rob (12:46.76)
creative ways to bring in more people. Cool. Hey, head us up. Let us know, let you know, and then you can tell me.

Craig (12:48.634)
Mm. Mm hmm. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. And also the re because I always forget Rob, the referral codes themselves, they are very, very handy because they then link that player to your account. And so if that player becomes a big player, for instance, the GCV, I am one of his referrals, believe it or not. And now I'm well and truly over and above him. And I will say, I look at his statistics, Rob, and some days that he's busy at work, like a normal job.

Yeah, I'm getting most of the points for him on his behalf through my referral so Especially over last weekend last weekend was huge for him in referral points because of me, but anyway That you never know what's gonna happen around the corner who you're gonna refer obviously But but also utilize the free the very very free tool inside inside the the freeze tag store and that is the the business

Rob (13:22.338)
I'm sure. I'm sure you are.

Rob (13:28.749)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:33.356)
It's true. It is true.

Craig (13:44.197)
sort of style too. yeah, you can put your business, you can do this two different cards you can choose from, get some printed out, print them out yourself, you know, put some around your local area. If you want to grow your local area with players, put some around your local area on bulletin boards and things like that too, and see how it goes. So yeah, that's just more tips already Rob. We were struggling for tips before, but look at them, they're coming out our wazoo's now. Anyway, anyway, moving on from the Munzee Monthly videos, we have three brand new BV

Rob (13:44.582)
yeah, yeah.

Rob (14:01.346)
I like it.

Rob (14:07.349)
Indeed.

Craig (14:14.136)
Jeez, bouncing virtual gardens. us about these.

Rob (14:18.246)
man, I mean to tell you we came into the new year and the the BBG's that we had expired going into February, January 3rd. We had the rainbow and we had Matty B that garden, which side note, I did make the donation on behalf of the Munzee players to the Matty B.

Craig (14:29.051)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yes. Mm-hmm.

Rob (14:42.702)
Go fund me page and we put that out and a couple of places and yeah super proud of the players for for jumping on board with that one and And for the company, you know jumping back into the idea of giving back So anyway that that's happened and again, thanks players. But anyway these new ones in Order to get some event some BBG's bouncing to events We need BBG's That that that makes sense

Craig (14:44.227)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (14:49.069)
Yeah.

Craig (14:57.454)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (15:07.482)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (15:12.15)
So I came into this new year requesting, Hey, we need BBGs and we need them right now. So, yeah, you and, actually Tamara was the one who kicked, one or two of the ideas, at us and, you built them. They look super cool. Tell us what they are.

Craig (15:25.711)
Yeah.

Mm hmm. Mm hmm. So it's funny to know a bit of BTS behind the scenes. Yeah. Rob came into the new year and he said to the team, we don't have any virtual gardens. I need them to actually get around to all the, all the events, et cetera, as well. He said, can we talk about this tomorrow? But before tomorrow came around, there was three bouncing virtual gardens ready to go.

you know, all done. All you had to do, Rob was just go, okay, let's click send and send it out to the world. And they are a fireworks, champagne, and a nice heart because we're coming into the new year. So you have the fireworks and the champagne, yeah, yeah, for the new year. But then the heart, because we're coming into February as well. See, so it's the month of lovers, Rob, with Valentine's day. See, so that's the way that works. So there's those three. They bounce around for the next six weeks, bouncing at events and

They bounce around when no events are occurring. They do bounce around randomly where places where it gets daily caps, you know, they may be Skylands, tree houses or wishing worlds. get daily caps. So make sure you, it's an algorithm now. It's not, it's not Rob anymore. No, no, no, no, no, because no, it's not Rob anymore. It's an algorithm. And so that algorithm will, it will send these around to a daily captured locations. So that's how that works.

Rob (16:34.51)
Hmm.

Rob (16:42.786)
Mmm. Is it?

Rob (16:53.416)
Al, Al is one of my favorite team members, Al and Chad. I love those two. They are the best. So thanks Al. Yeah. So speaking of, cup of Z in a roundabout way, because you know, that's where all the BBGs, are is, you can set up a notification for them if they bounce and land near you. So that's pretty handy because just in case you're not a person who's in the app.

Craig (16:57.05)
Yes, neither too.

Craig (17:08.225)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yeah.

Rob (17:23.156)
refreshing the map every other minute. Why not let Cup of Z do all the hard work for you? So, sudden notification. I'm certain that there's videos out there about how to do that for those who are not familiar.

Craig (17:25.336)
Yeah.

Craig (17:28.708)
Correct.

Craig (17:35.909)
Certainly is, very easy. Sam has made it very, very, very simple indeed. He's also created it whereby you can change the radius of the notification, Rob. So, you know, you can go out to a wider radius if you want to travel for it, for instance, or no, no, I don't want to live in my hometown. I'm going to make it a smaller radius. So you can change the radius for the notifications as well. And what that'll do is when a bouncing virtual garden gets in that particular radius, it'll notify, send you a notification to your phone. Open up your phone. You then go into the Munzee app.

in Munzee app as well, you can just click on the filters for a free filter that says bouncing virtual gardens only. So it clears out everything else except for bouncing virtual gardens. And then you can go hunt around for it see where it is. and then go and capture it. Now, don't forget, Rob cap all the pins on the bouncing virtual garden, all the virtuals themselves, but don't forget the PLY as well. So, and that's the way that you can assure yourself to get the actual badge for it from there. The badge comes the next day. It doesn't come straight away.

He comes the next day after the Munzee day has finished. So don't forget that too. So, Rob, any other, any other tips for the, bouncing virtual gardens?

Rob (18:40.366)
Interesting.

Rob (18:45.166)
I mean, if it lands near you more than once, you can always cap that POI once a day, obviously. So if it comes back to your location, yeah. So that's a good reason to have the notification on because you see it. It's only a few points, but every point counts, doesn't it? And that keeps you on the POI capture streak.

Craig (18:47.45)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:58.425)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (19:02.051)
Yeah.

Craig (19:06.488)
There you go. That's right. There is a POI capture streak as well. Wow. All these. That doesn't, that does not surprise me, sir. That does not surprise me at all. but I will say though, get yourself to events this month if you can. And, because you will find that you have a very, very, very high chance of capturing at least one of the three bouncing virtual gardens. If you attend events.

Rob (19:09.164)
Yeah, I gave up on that too.

Rob (19:29.23)
I like that you let out with that at least one. Multiple? I don't know.

Craig (19:32.899)
Yeah. Well, got to, but at least one, at least one. And if you go to someone, something like, know, the Munzee, Munzee Mecca, for instance, where they've got several events over a few days, there's a possibility that you'll get all three of them because there'll be one per event, for instance, you know, that type of thing too. yeah, yeah. So that may happen again. So I see, I'm learning the language of Munzee, might, possibly. So those three things.

Rob (19:49.548)
Yeah, we've definitely done that in the past. So very good.

Rob (19:58.7)
May well, well, Walt, I don't know. Yeah.

Craig (20:02.848)
No, those words don't exist anymore. Meanwhile, Rob finally came out the bonus events for January 2026. Finally they come out. Now, Rob, you apologize for November. You did that. December was very good. December came out nice and early and quick and the players were happy. Again, would you like to apologize for January? No.

Rob (20:10.22)
Finally.

Rob (20:20.622)
You're welcome.

not really because it's not my fault. Sure. Why not? I apologize everyone for the fact that January double points events came out late. hopefully we will we may be able to get the February ones out in a more timely fashion. Maybe. We'll see. But the good news is I think I think they're I think they're good ones. And for anyone who likes to think

Craig (20:33.134)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:43.104)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Exactly.

Craig (20:48.814)
Yeah.

Rob (20:52.63)
it isn't too difficult to know which time periods were things were going to land on, you know.

Craig (20:52.718)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:58.126)
That's right. That's right. Everyone thought about it everyone thought straight away, well, it's going to have to be double points for the Munzey Mecca weekend as well. So you're looking at.

Rob (21:04.918)
And why not give FRLK a birthday gift of double points as well? Those events in the Netherlands have been running mega most of the months of last year. So how do a lot of people get a lot of points spread across the world and use Cap on boosters and things like that? That's the weekend to focus on. those are the events. So look at all the rest of them too. yeah, pointing out the big ones.

Craig (21:09.099)
Exactly.

Craig (21:14.126)
Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (21:23.182)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (21:30.682)
Yeah. So we do have January 9th to 11th, and it's a stock standard, greenies, cards, flats. And then in this weekend, we're having jewels in virtual colors as well. And then the following weekend, 16th to 18th, we have greenies, cards, flats, evolutions and mysteries at times. But then this is where it gets interesting, Rob, because we're not just focused anymore on the weekends, you see. Look at this. Oh, it's during the weeks now as well. So...

Rob (21:41.976)
faggot

Craig (21:56.991)
Monday, January 19th to January 23rd. for the whole week, weekdays, we've got double magnet strengths, which I, why, why? Some people do some people see you've got two sides of the coin. There is two sides to this, this, this magnet strength coin, Rob. There is the side that's that love that love it and get like million point days during the weekday. such as Munsey prof. And then you've got others that say, you know, my Skylands aren't, you know, I've only got one in it instead of.

Rob (22:04.312)
grumble, grumble, grumble, just so you know. Yeah, you know, you know. Yeah, it's okay. I know.

Craig (22:25.946)
because of this. So it's a double edged sword, know, some people love it, some people hate it. And then everyone, everyone loves this next one from January 26th to 30th as well, the double cubimol crate event. I said that right, Sam, not.

Rob (22:29.762)
Yep. The kind I live and die by. That is exactly the sword. Yes. Apologies.

Rob (22:44.44)
You said both words. We put that in as a test just for you to see if it was gonna be a couple mole curate, but no, was cubamole crate. I like it. Well done.

Craig (22:48.794)
Yeah, yeah.

Craig (22:52.802)
Yeah. Well, I'm, I'm, I'm sick of Sam. You know, he sends me these notifications every single week saying, know, you said it wrong again. Here's another exam for you. He sends me exams on Cups of Z personal ones, but anyway, anyway, who we've on. So that one, there's always a fan favorite though. The double cubimols Rob, they are a fan favorite because it's just, it doesn't affect the gameplay at all. In actual fact, it should, it should allow, make people get outside, walk around, open up your crates as well.

Rob (23:03.778)
Good. Good.

Craig (23:21.602)
And you'll get double the cubimools that come out. get two instead of one and it's for free. So all you have to do is get outside and walk around. Yeah.

Rob (23:30.094)
It's a great thing. In the Northern Hemisphere though, it is a little bit chilly out there. So I mean, some people might even say that it's frigid. they, they, you know, hopefully they'll enjoy anyway. Oh, speaking of frigid.

Craig (23:35.957)
Craig (23:45.932)
Look, there you go. You podcasting you. Wow. Yes.

Rob (23:49.614)
Speaking of frigid, we've put out the frigid flash mobs. Woohoo! I don't know if everything that we put out is called flash mobs, but anyway, we call them that. These are similar to the cursed Munzees that we've done in the past, and we've done quite a few different types now, fire ones and lovesick ones and different types of things. Well, this time they're frozen. So let it go, let it go. Anyway.

Craig (23:59.492)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:03.417)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:09.933)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:14.33)
Hmmmm

Yeah.

Rob (24:17.998)
very cold, like I said up north and so here it is. you're going to see different types throughout the month of January that are going to become frigid. Your job is go cap them, take that mask off. You'll see wisps that scatter, go and chase those if you would like as well. That's how we play.

Craig (24:25.55)
Yeah. Mm-hmm.

So get coming.

Craig (24:36.33)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's right. That's how it is. And also at the same time, these, the first ones though is just your basic greenies. And it's also your rainbow virtuals as well. They're the two for this time, but they're going to be coming out with different ones every single week as well coming through. So keep an eye out for those frozen ones. And as always, for some reason you don't have any greenies for instance, in your area.

Rob (24:54.734)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:02.742)
Once you deploy one, it will become frozen as you deploy it and then you can cap it. You can cap your own Munsies when they're frozen, no matter what type they are. If they're frozen, you can cap your own. So you can actually place more out there for yourself to cap frozen. yeah.

Rob (25:12.376)
Correct.

Rob (25:18.968)
Drop a rainbow virtual somewhere that you can cap it. Hey, there you go. getting each of those getting each of those masks is, you know, an important thing. Are there badges? I don't know. Maybe.

Craig (25:24.708)
Dropper.

Craig (25:29.978)
Mm hmm. Exactly. Maybe, maybe we'll soon say if you're going to drop a rainbow virtual, make sure you place it anywhere near possibly an electric that's already nearby because of the, you know, you can get those electric scatters for later on. So you got to play the long game, not just to play for the day. You play the long game. Don't place it somewhere by itself because you still can get bounces on it, but it's a rare.

Rob (25:42.35)
Mm.

Craig (25:56.091)
If you place it somewhere near an electric, for instance, or a void mystery, that sort of too, there's a possibility where it can create several different bouncing types around the area. See? So play the long game. Look at me with the tips already coming up.

Rob (26:09.334)
I thought you were gonna say drop it like it's hot. That's what I thought you were gonna say. Yeah. If you're gonna drop that rainbow virtual, drop it like it's hot because it's gonna be frigid, you know. Anyway. Anyway!

Craig (26:17.53)
I wasn't even going that route, Rob. I was actually going the real, you know, Munzee route. Meanwhile, Rob, we're going to get moving on to the question of the week. And this one is, can we expect any to get any of the badges for deploying the one and 10 pins in the Christmas tree gardens from December? Rob, what happened with those Christmas tree gardens in December?

Rob (26:37.422)
what a fantastic question. We did not forget about the badges. We did need to wait and have a team discussion, which we've had this week. And we've decided based on the fact that there are quite a few of the gardens that didn't fill. Now these are the ones that had the light mystery or the void mystery on top. Because some of those didn't fill. That's kind of when we've when we've done it in the past.

Craig (26:47.075)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:55.404)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:59.16)
Yep. Yep.

Craig (27:06.605)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:08.044)
We're giving everybody a chance. We've extended this through the end of January and actually all the way through February 2nd, because that's a Sunday. On that Monday, February 3rd, we're going to pull everyone who has deployed one and we're going to give them a badge. And then we're going to pull everyone who's deployed 10 and we're going to give them a badge. So remember this isn't about building the gardens. This is about deploying one virtual in the Christmas tree gardens or 10 virtuals. So yeah.

Craig (27:10.164)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:23.854)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. You're right.

Craig (27:31.534)
Deploying.

Craig (27:36.731)
If you want to know as well quickly, if you've deployed, how many deployed, say for instance, I've, I think, I think I deployed a couple in December, but I can't remember how many go to Cup of Z. Why? Cause Sam, the man has built out right at the top of the, the Christmas tree garden list. He's, he's put their, your little avatar and then a number of how many you've deployed slash 10. So he shows you how many you've already deployed out of 10. So you can go to Cup of Z, have a look and go, my goodness, I've only deployed six. I've got to deploy four more.

Rob (27:37.816)
That's it.

Craig (28:05.806)
So get those four deploys in, the Christmas tree gardens ASAP before that date. So you can get your free badge too. So see Sam demand, Sam demand. shouldn't, I shouldn't actually call any more nicknames. Yeah. But anyway, we'll soon see. Meanwhile, we're going to move on to the Munzee tip of the week. And this one came regarding that this month's clan war requirement. And the question was asked about the, about the Whittles points. How can I get some Whittles points? Well,

Rob (28:15.586)
Wow. Wow.

Rob (28:21.184)
you know.

Craig (28:35.418)
First and foremost, deploy some Whittles. Level 10 Whittles are easiest to deploy because they're only 25 stars at Wishing Wells and they're all free. All you have to do is make sure you get the daily stroll stars as you go around capping them. 25 stars and you can deploy a level 10 at Wishing Wells. Yes, sir.

Rob (28:52.15)
It's only possible. Don't forget if you've bought the Whittles trunk in advance, like you've got to have that. So just to make sure. Yeah. Or any level. Yeah. Yes. I agree. I agree. Just making sure that part's clear to everyone. Just in case.

Craig (28:55.918)
This is true. Yeah. Yeah. You've got a level 10 and you've got a level 10 whittle. That's right. You do have to have a level or any level, but the level tens are easiest in my opinion, because 25 starts level one, what are they? 75 stars. don't know. I've never deployed a level one whittle. I've never had one. Well, I did have one for the split second before I opened another trunk. That's what I did. So you can either do that or get more trunks as well. So when you buy a trunk, that also automatically deploys a whittle for you too. So make sure you can deploy a trunk or

Rob (29:10.48)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (29:25.358)
You can actually use Whittles workshops. They're the, they're the temporary destinations that last for three days and they fill up with Whittles, but they also fill up with cubimals as well. So yeah, they fill up with both those and cubimals too. Anyway, so make sure you get a Whittles workshop out there near your house or whatever. And then for the three days in a row, once it's filled, you can actually cap those as well for your Whittles points, Rob. So some good tips there, mate. Good tips.

Rob (29:37.422)
Good, interesting.

I

Rob (29:54.198)
Excellent tips. Well done.

Craig (29:55.416)
You like those? like those? Yes, yes, yes. Meanwhile, Rob, that ends another official Muncie podcast just in time.
