So we've been getting some feedback from them. You and I also thoroughly test the vac on a regular basis. Yeah. So we'll we'll share some information with everybody about that here in a few minutes.

Mm-hmm.

Nice, nice. Mate, I've been, I've got my boat wet, we'll say that. When I say boat, I mean kayak over the weekend, last weekend. So myself and a good friend of mine as well, we both got kayaks over Christmas time. And we went out on Lake Shelby down here in the Gulf shores of Alabama. Now here it is Rob, January. I'm in shorts and a T-shirt on a lake.

Rob (02:49.506)

So I'm sorry, Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota, but you know, we don't have the snow like you do. But in saying that it is getting chillier now too, it comes in waves down here. You know, it really does come in waves. So get the cold and they get the warm and you get the cold and you get the warm. So

Rob (03:12.032)
Wow.

Rob (04:15.228)
We had three in Netherlands celebrating FRLK's birthday. heard back from him and they said events were great. Everyone enjoyed it. Snow on the ground, temperatures in the negatives and yeah, still out there capping, got the gardens and yeah, everything was good. So that was good. Also in Finland, Germany and then two in...

Craig (04:20.983)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (04:28.045)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

Perfect.

Craig (04:43.081)
I did have a couple of episodes ago, we had Minnesota boy on the show in replace of you. And he did have the tip of the week for those people out there that are capping in cold climate areas, like snow related areas, using a stylus on your phone. And that way you can don't have to take your gloves on and off and all that's something too perfect example and perfect tip I should say, for those people in those sort of areas. And especially Rob, since we've had the,

Rob (04:48.565)
Yes.

Craig (05:09.453)
The frozen types come out too. More information about those very soon. Meanwhile, the leaderboards over the weekend. On Friday we had Aaron Soog on 623,000 points, followed by Brandy Rooster on 519,000 points. And then in third place, the Pacer paced himself very well with 507,000 points on Saturday, mate.

Rob (05:30.1)
That's true. was bandy rooster though, just so you know. Cause you don't want Marge will be at the events and, you know, yeah.

Craig (05:33.226)
of course. I didn't, I put an R in it for some reason. You know why? Cause I was thinking of the other one, Brandy, Courtney, but anyway, that's what it is.

Rob (05:42.752)
Yeah, I figured that's why I was like, nope. right. Saturday we had Q 22 Q 17, one point four million. Wow. And a banana one point one million. OK. And Dragons West just shy of that million at nine hundred twenty five thousand points. Wow.

Craig (05:52.236)
Wow.

Craig (05:57.164)
Yeah.

Craig (06:01.421)
should have said Saturday, I should have said Saturday with Q 22 Q 17 and Anna Banana. So Sunday. Absolutely. And another person will see this weekend is Cole Cracker seven in first place on Sunday with 1 million points back up there. Look at that after her surgery. Well done Cole Cracker. Regal with 554,000 points and in third place was Vony with 544.

Rob (06:08.19)
Yes. Yeah. You know, you'll see both of them this weekend too. Yeah.

Craig (06:30.999)
thousand points now the events this weekend as we said Rob already had two yesterday but there's six in Florida in total over this weekend two yesterday and then more coming up today Friday and Saturday as well we have two in Missouri and one in Minnesota as well for those Minnesotans who can't make it down to Florida around the world mate we had

Rob (06:51.168)
We've got British Columbia and Ontario, Canada, England, Germany and Norway.

Craig (06:59.723)
Very, very cool. Big events around the world. As we said, this weekend is huge with Munzey Mecca in Florida. After that February 20th Foley, Alabama, the day before Bamar Omega. Come and see me for that one as well. March 6th and 7th, Munzey Madness over there in California. And then on September 18th to 20th, Munzey Mania in Minnesota. So yeah, that list is getting shorter. Let's try and make it little bit longer again. I'll go through the list next week.

Rob (07:21.376)
interest.

Craig (07:27.629)
Go through the calendar and if you have a big event though, please reach out to me We'll have a chat and we'll try and get those numbers for your big events Meanwhile Rob, let's get started with what's happening this week in the Munzee world first and foremost, mate The vac everyone knows what the vac is everyone's all not everyone but those We call them cruise II members is no cruise II. What's it called? Z crew. That's the one see or see Sam. Don't worry

Rob (07:50.624)
Z-Crew. Z-Crew can go and cap the Cruzees.

Craig (07:58.054)
Yes, exactly. Those members who can do that. I am so smart, Rob. What's been happening with the vac so far, Rob? And what is happening with it? They're coming up very soon.

Rob (08:01.14)
Yeah. Yes.

Rob (08:09.802)
So the back, even though everyone doesn't know virtual auto capture. So we on the team, you and I for a year and a half, two years almost have been calling it the vac. It's just much shorter. So virtual auto capture booster and it's working so well. It's really amazing. We enjoy it. It ends up giving us lots of points while moving at pace, whether that's in a car or, you know,

Craig (08:13.911)
You

Craig (08:17.995)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (08:31.223)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (08:36.055)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (08:38.75)
people on bike or even just out walking, in a field with a lot of moneys. what is going on? Let's see. We've had, two, main issues that have popped up and we kinda saw them from time to time in the past. also, thought about them, but we weren't a hundred percent sure if, if it was working properly or not. So the first one is, the capturing of things like resorts.

Craig (08:43.693)
Yeah.

Craig (08:51.021)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:00.663)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (09:08.138)
condos, even it turns out Skylands, things that have other things inside them. So a virtual resort will have rooms. Those rooms, you know, are owned by people who have captured that virtual resort. They get a room in there. That means they get cap on points, all that. Well, if the vac capped a virtual resort, it was also.

Craig (09:12.621)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:34.401)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (09:37.34)
registering the rooms. That means that it was being used up quickly. Yeah, it was being used up quickly. Yeah, so we've figured that out. That one has been fixed already. Check the one that is currently underway. And by the time this goes live on Friday, we will either have launched the fix or the fix will be coming next week because we're not going to be pushing any new code, big things.

Craig (09:39.93)
as as captures. Yeah, Mm

Mm-hmm.

run. Done.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (09:59.202)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:04.959)
No. Nope.

Rob (10:07.072)
Starting on Thursday, definitely not on Friday, only fixes going through on Thursday or Friday in preparation for lots of gameplay. So the other thing is background captures. So if you start the vac and then you switch over to a different app, it seems to be pausing the vac so that it only works when you come back to the screen. So if you're driving, let's you switch to another app.

Craig (10:20.045)
Mmm.

Craig (10:25.175)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (10:35.149)
Mmm.

Rob (10:37.736)
while you're driving through, you're not actually getting the rest of those. That is a problem. This is supposed to be set so that that works properly. And so it's being fixed a little bit more investigating on that one before, you know, everything just gets pushed. So those are the two things. Pretty impressed, you know, after.

Craig (10:41.697)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (10:46.592)
Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Yep. Yeah.

Rob (10:59.712)
after 20 months that we made it down to only two things wrong. But we're getting there. We are about to push this out to everyone worldwide. And yeah, I'm super excited because it's a really cool feature.

Craig (11:02.317)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (11:11.501)
Mm-hmm. Yep, absolutely. And what's coming up as well, I will say, and that is we're having discussions as to when it's coming out, what's coming out. We're talking about price points. We're talking about, you know, things like how many, because at the moment, Rob, as well, Zeek remembers are limited to the amount so they can actually purchase before using it because we don't want to overload the system and we don't want the...

the players to, to, to waste, waste their good old hard earned cash on something that, has little bugs here and there as well. So that's another reason for it too. So we've got to get all those sorted, get them all squashed and then we release it for everyone else. So that's what's happening with the vac. Are you excited for the vac Rob?

Rob (11:52.192)
I'm so excited for it because we've waited so long and we've worked so hard on it. it's really, really great. It's a cool feature. Like I said, it's actually, it's a helpful feature more than anything else, you know, and

Craig (12:01.611)
Yeah, absolutely.

Craig (12:06.729)
Yes. Yeah. It's, it is a good safety feature. know myself, Rob, I travel a lot and I drive a lot as well. So me, let me utilizing the vac. absolutely. It's, it's, it's priceless for me to use the vac as opposed to sort of, you know, attempting to stop every time I see a resort or whatever and handicap and handicap from there. So no, I utilize the vac quite, quite often. And also Rob, here's another tip for you. And this is leading.

Rob (12:29.856)
I know you're gonna I'm scrolling to see is this the tip of the day? No, it's not tell him. Okay, fine. I'll let I'll let you do it.

Craig (12:34.696)
No, it's not. it's Another, another tip that I have Rob and that is a leading up with the brand new flash mobs, the frozen flash mobs that have been released at the moment as well. Like all the greenies and stuff like to, well, the Vax, the VAC itself will, will, will suck up everything except for daily stroll stars. That's the only thing it will not touch is a daily stroll star because you need to get out there and walk and get your daily stroll star.

Rob (12:45.066)
Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (13:02.111)
But it will suck up everything else, including wisps, Rob. So if you're out there doing a beautiful walk, like I did the other day, Rob, I did my beautiful walk around this big school here down in Alabama. and there's like, you know, I'm talking over 50 plus greenies around here. And so these greenies are all frozen at the moment, aren't they? And so I kept the greenie out, goes the wisp. Rob, if you, if you're capping with people and they're not using the vac and you are, and that wisp goes out, the guess, guess what?

Rob (13:05.908)
Yeah.

Rob (13:21.748)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:31.66)
The vac sucks up that we if it's in the vac vicinity. So I'll say that. So, so you can, you can go ahead and then capture those, those scanners, those wisps. So, did that the other day, Robert, the new frozen, the frozen, flash mob is themselves. So at the moment we do have the greenies and what else are the rainbow virtuals are the other ones. Yeah. Yeah. and then the other ones have come out now other the flat.

Rob (13:35.016)
Yes, it's true.

Rob (13:52.382)
Rainbow Vertia.

Craig (13:58.39)
cups as well, same cups. So the flat cups are now frozen and the Ruby physicals are also frozen. So yes, yes, yes. And there's more coming out. We don't know what else is going to get frozen, but apparently there's going to be more getting frozen with this big freeze coming through January.

Rob (13:59.136)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (14:13.31)
Yeah, another I think there's another wave of frigid air coming in on Monday.

Craig (14:19.032)
That's the one, you go. Frigid air on Monday. Meanwhile, if you still don't have the frozen greenie for instance, you know, that's been out there since it got frozen before it's okay. They, they, the, the freeze will last all up until the flash mobs are totally finished. So the greenies don't go away after a week, you know, and then all of a sudden the cups and rubies come in. No, no, no. They, the greenies and all that will last throughout the whole time. So the only rush is to make sure you

beat everyone else to those frozen bits, Rob. yes. There's nothing frozen left.

Rob (14:51.55)
Yep. So sadly for you, when you land here in Orlando on Thursday, yeah. Unfortunately, there's none along the path around the airport because I'm pretty sure Colecracker7 got most of those, but those that she may have missed, I got all of them in the American terminal and all the way over to baggage claim and on the way out, we'll make sure to take that road out just so that you get no more.

Craig (15:04.469)
Yeah. she would have.

Craig (15:11.617)
Hehehehehe

Mm-hmm.

Rob (15:20.254)
And then the challenge becomes whose phone is faster.

Craig (15:24.543)
And, and, stay tuned as well for next week's episode where Rob and I will discuss the two people utilizing the vac in the same car, the same vehicle and who gets what. So maybe possibly four. We'll soon see. We'll soon see. Who knows either way, either way. I will say this, Rob, if you're going to be in a car with full of Munzee players and all four of you are going to use the vac.

Rob (15:33.908)
Maybe even three, possibly four. Who knows?

Craig (15:46.25)
My suggestion is to ride shotgun if you possibly can and put your phone up closest to the windshield because therefore you've got at least a good two or three feet in ahead of those people from behind you. You go to the grill. Rob's going to have his phone on the I like it. I like it, mate. Well done. So you look at you thinking outside the box.

Rob (15:56.726)
I'm gonna magnetize my phone to the front of the car.

Rob (16:04.596)
zip ties just holding on holding my phone on the front. Yep. Yep. There you go.

Rob (16:14.268)
I just said it out loud and ruined it. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (16:14.413)
and outside the vehicle and outside the vehicle as well. Very, very cool. Let's talk about double points this weekend as well. What are the double points this weekend for the Munzey Mecca and the rest of world? Yeah.

Rob (16:27.134)
Well, let's see. We've got, yeah, everybody greenies, flats, cards, evos and mysteries. So be sure you look for them. Look for all of these. Yep.

Craig (16:35.933)
very cool. Yeah. Look for all of them. Now, when we're talking about, we all know cards, we all know flats, all know greenies, we all know mysteries as well. Evo's Rob, the double points on Evo's, are they just the Evo's you capture, not the Evo bounces, are they? It's not the bounces. It is not the bounces. It is just the Evo Munzee itself is the.

Rob (16:51.68)
I love when you ask this question because every time I don't remember what the answer is. So I don't know. There you go.

Craig (17:03.213)
Double point so no bounces don't put don't send in your the support tickets etc for evo bounces They are not included. Otherwise, they would say evo bounces. It just says evo So they're the they're the ones is that either the physical and virtual evos that you capture as you're traveling or Walking or whatever you're doing. So there's the double points for this weekend now also Rob This has been advertised at the beginning of January Next week next week January 19 to 23 this one

This one, some people like, some people hate Rob. It's the double magnet strength, double magnet strength. Rob, just explain that to people who don't know what double magnet strength actually is to begin with.

Rob (17:36.992)
Yeah

Rob (17:46.386)
If you use a magnet, it's twice as strong. There you go. No. So, so for a normal player.

Craig (17:47.853)
Mm-hmm.

So you can put your phone on the front of the card. Is that what you're saying?

Rob (17:56.928)
yeah, actually, that's great. I didn't even, unfortunately it's on Monday, so that's not going to help me much with you guys this weekend. yeah. So that means for non-premium players, when you use a magnet, you draw three bouncers to that greenie or whatever you've magnetized virtual. you draw three, that's going to double to six and it's up to three normally. And so then it becomes up to six.

Craig (18:14.637)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:19.415)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:23.905)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:23.936)
For premium players you get a bonus of one more bouncer. So that means on things like greenies instead of getting four you're gonna get eight and And then the special one and that's the destinations The those are all going to they normally go up to seven for premium players. They go up to 14. So that's your gingerbread That's your teapot pub. That's your

Craig (18:35.094)
Nah.

Craig (18:52.917)
Mm-hmm. Skylands. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:54.176)
premium Skyland, your tree houses, your all of that. so you've got double the bouncers. my goodness. Tell, tell them about the other perk with using a magnet.

Craig (19:03.607)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Well, the other perk itself, and this is a brand new perk. you're a long-term player, sometimes you're looking at, hang on a I didn't even know this existed. It's only because it only recently come out in the last few weeks we're talking about here. And that is every time you use a magnet, actually, and you attract a bouncer, then you get 50 points per bouncer extra on top of that point system for that particular bouncer.

Now, Rob, I did do some testing on this as well because I thought to myself, okay, this is interesting. I magnetized a Skyland. The Skyland already had three bounces on it. So me expecting that the magnet magnetized it and I've got another four bounces on it, right? I thought that four bounces would have the 50 points. No, Rob, all seven bounces got the 50 points. very impressed, very impressed. So that what that means for this double magnet strength, you're getting 14 bounces.

Rob (19:53.994)
Impressive,

Craig (20:01.803)
That's an extra 700 points, Rob. 700 points for utilizing a magnet. Wow.

Rob (20:08.436)
Yeah. I mean, if you're in a points battle with anyone out there, the, this is the time period for it. And we know that from what we've seen on leaderboards with people showing up with a million points on a Tuesday, because they have taken advantage of, you know, this double magnet strength event. So, you know, I'm talking about you Munzey prof. Yeah. And

Craig (20:22.561)
Munsy Prof. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (20:33.226)
Schmitz Fam for, mean, there's, there's several that make regular appearances on the leaderboard midweek and that kind of thing. Whenever we're doing this. So everybody play, play smart as far as this goes. That's, that's part of it.

Craig (20:38.711)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (20:44.471)
Yeah.

And I was going to say that's one of the main parts I feel a lot of players do really enjoy and that is playing smart, working out the best way for things, you know, playing, playing in a way whereby you're utilizing the least amount of things you can to get the maximum amount of points you can. we always say, Rob, if you see it, cap it. Absolutely. You know what I mean? But some people they're like, well, hang on, I can see it, but I think I can better it. You know, I can see that there's two bounces on that skyline, but I think I can better it.

Rob (21:11.583)
Mm.

Rob (21:15.968)
That's true. That's true. Me too. But you know what? There are some people out there that this is not their favorite thing. So I hear, I hear that we are about to give people like a chance to voice their opinion about the different types of, of double points or strength or any of that. A little birdie told me that that's possibly on the way.

Craig (21:16.925)
I know, I know, I know. I love it. I love the way people work.

Craig (21:26.24)
yes.

Craig (21:34.466)
Craig (21:38.069)
Yeah.

Craig (21:41.728)
Is that the same same same birdie that told me about like, you know, possibly asking people as well about just the bonus weekends and stuff as well during the month? That could be the same birdie. anyway, listen to us both going, listen to us both going quiet and releasing information we shouldn't be.

Rob (21:51.728)
I don't know, maybe. Tweet tweet? I don't know.

Quieter, turn up the volume. man, that was great. All right, so there you go.

Craig (22:03.777)
But Rob speaking of speaking, said before, you know, if you're in a points, in a points battle, I will say that some people have actually asked me and by some people, mean, just myself, cause I'm going to do a humble brag. everyone knows Rob that I got ahead of you on the leaderboard, going back six months ago or so, you know, and that was a ding dong battle. That was a good battle. I will say, just for everyone's information now, if you haven't actually realized, have a look at the leaderboard and I'm over 24 million points ahead of Rob now. So 24 million.

Rob (22:14.72)
Yeah.

Craig (22:32.941)
points ahead of Rob. will say maybe, just maybe the next Ding Dong battle is coming up with Coach V and Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy.

Rob (22:42.974)
Well, as far as team team players go, he is next on the he's next on the list. Yeah, there's there's some padding there. So we'll see. We'll see how how quickly he's able to make up room on me.

Craig (22:46.113)
Yes, he's next on the list. Exactly.

Craig (22:53.761)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:57.76)
One way to make up points Rob as well and that is to cap the BVG's the Bouncing Virtual Gardens and that's what we're getting onto now. The Bouncing Virtual Gardens they're around. When these new three new ones came out there was a question on the water cooler and the question was you know how many caps do you get on these Bouncing Virtual Gardens? A lot of people jumped in with the numbers Rob and these numbers oh wow they blew me out of the water 200, 300, 400 caps on one

Rob (23:21.984)
Yeah.

Craig (23:26.061)
virtual for the price of like $5 for the one virtual and to get 400 caps on that one virtual. Wow.

Rob (23:33.576)
You have to have strategically placed a virtual 10 years ago in order to get that many caps on a single pin. in Cologne, Germany, in Los Angeles, you wouldn't have placed them necessarily 10 years ago in Minneapolis. Maybe you would have, it was a growing scene at that time, but anywhere in McKinney, Texas.

Craig (23:39.149)
Yes!

Yeah. Yes.

Craig (23:49.739)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:57.634)
Yes.

Craig (24:01.293)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:01.6)
you know, there, there are places where big events used to happen and, and yeah, that's the only way that you've got more than 200, 300. but yeah, this, these bouncing virtual gardens and we set a price point $5, you know, and as long as we keep these, gardens kind of doing the same thing, which we've got zero reason to change it because they're awesome. And, I love it. I love how many points people get because,

Craig (24:08.338)
That's right. Yeah.

Craig (24:21.805)
Mm-hmm.

No. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:30.57)
they're going to events, or they are playing regularly so that these BBGs are landing with them. Hey, that's, that's not bad. yeah, the cap on points are just crazy. Using a booster on a cap on booster thinking about a BBG during an event weekend, probably a good idea. But, but otherwise trying to guess when people are going to cap the BBG. Yeah, that's, that's a tricky one.

Craig (24:31.777)
Yes.

Craig (24:37.257)
Yes. Yeah.

Craig (24:44.663)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:50.157)
Look at that. This weekend. It's, it's, it is tricky one, but you can always look and see where the BVG's are utilizing Cuppa Z itself. go into Cuppa Z and you will see exactly where all the BVG's are at any point in time, or you can actually set up notifications. So if one lands near you, within a certain range, a certain diameter, a certain sort of radius,

Then you get notifications saying it's landed near you. So you can go and cap it as well. I did see Rob, another question on the water cooler came about in regards to the BVGs. One lucky player out there when I will say lucky because it is pure luck at this point in time. One lucky player came home from celebrating their birthday, had dinner, a beautiful meal, whatever it might've been. Come home, Rob. And as they're coming home, a BVG landed right near their house for their birthday. And, uh, and so people said like, you know, Oh,

Rob (25:42.4)
Wow. Wow. You're welcome.

Craig (25:46.401)
Can we, can we, can we utilize it? Can we put it in somewhere on Munzee saying what, date our birthday is so we can get a BVG on our birthday.

Rob (25:55.63)
my birthday is tomorrow. How convenient. Yeah, you know how that goes. Yeah. Yeah, I love I love that idea. I love that idea, but no.

Craig (25:57.326)
And then I'll change it for the next day. Then I'll change it for the next day. At this point in time, that's a no. Yes. Yeah. That's way too much at this point in time. All right, Rob, moving on now to the Munzee question of the week. And this one itself is in regards to last year, we had the, the pack rats came about and they made an appearance. These pack rats made an appearance for those people who, had the Munze pack, the monthly Munze pack.

so this person says, I have really enjoyed the pack rats. they still going to be going on this year?

Rob (26:33.152)
nice. yeah, so we did kick those off last February. We said they're gonna be 12. Series one has come to an end with January. So yes, the pack rats are coming back for series two. What?

Craig (26:38.145)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:44.012)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (26:49.705)
I was going to say, just said series one. there is a series two pack rats with the, the mons pack as well. Very, very cool.

Rob (26:53.802)
Yeah. Yeah. I guess by saying series one that does give, give the answer away, it doesn't. So there you go. So yeah, they are coming back. the way that we work muns packs now is they're kind of a, a launching point for, different types, if you will. So the series one pack rats, were released in the, muns packs and yeah, the plan is for.

Craig (26:57.485)
Very good.

Craig (27:06.722)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:11.948)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:19.309)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:23.072)
everybody out there to be able to get some of these now. it's a yeah, they'll be released soon. What format what cost what timing to be determined. So yeah, stay tuned. It's a fun little game piece and we don't want to hold it, you know, only for a certain group of players. Because

Craig (27:27.98)
Craig (27:33.165)
home.

Craig (27:38.529)
Mm-hmm. Nice.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:47.518)
You know, they were they really are cool. I think they're fun. They they complete the whole circle of life of cogs twigs. All that. Yeah.

Craig (27:49.697)
They really are.

Craig (27:53.942)
Mm hmm. Twigs. All that, all that stuff. That sounds really cool. But if you're like me as well, I've had the muns packs going now for a few years. yeah, I've really enjoyed them. I like the fact that I get the, I get first, first, you know, cap off the ranks. So, know what I mean? So for, releasing these, pack rats from last year's pack rats this year, releasing them to the public. If you're not a muns pack holder.

It's okay. If you're a month pack holder, don't, don't, don't fret. Don't say, know, I, I got the month pack because I wanted to be the only one with this. No, no, you want to be the first with this. There's the difference, you know? So, so don't, don't fret and enjoy it while it, while it's around. do like the pack rats, Rob, I will say. And they're, they're such a cool looking item as well. Like they're cool looking. If you have a look at them, very, very cool. Very steampunk like as well, which is what I like.

Rob (28:37.664)
They're fun.

Rob (28:46.218)
Series was a steampunk type series. That's right. Andy, great art. What's he gonna do for Series 2? What's he gonna do? No, well, I don't know. Do you? No. Do the players? No. We don't know what Series 2 is gonna look like. I mean, I do, but it's gonna be cool. Yeah. I do have seen some drafts, but get ready. Yeah.

Craig (28:48.885)
Mm hmm. you're giving more away, Rob. You're giving more away. Wow. Look at you. Yeah. Does Dylan, does Dylan? Yeah. I was going to say you have, you have exactly. All right, Rob, ending now with the Munzee tip of the week. And that is to use other boosters.

while using the double magnet strength on the bonus days coming up next week. And what I mean by that Rob is utilizing like a double virtual point booster whilst utilizing the double magnet strength as well. Therefore you get double the bounce of points on those premium Skylands premium tree or tree house premium Skylands for the virtual premium tree house for the physicals. but use extra

Rob (29:34.432)
Mmm.

Craig (29:39.233)
both boosters to really, really enhance those points. Cause you think about it, Rob, you're getting 14 bounces on a Skyland using a magnet. Why not double those points again? And really, really hit a home run and and Munzee Profs listen to us now, listening to me right now, goes, you're giving my secrets away. So if you want to be like those big players like Munzee Prof, like Colecracker7.

Rob (29:50.899)
It's

Rob (29:54.229)
Yeah.

Rob (29:58.378)
Yeah.

Craig (30:03.517)
then these are the ways to do things, you know, utilize the tools in which you have available to you to get those big, big points. Any, any ideas or thoughts about the tip of the week?

That's why this is more than just a location based game where you walk around and find stuff. This is a lot more than that. This is a thinking person's game Rob. I like it. I like it.

Rob (30:28.596)
competition, think about it, yeah, all those things.

Craig (30:31.005)
Exactly. Speaking of thinking about things, Robert, let's end it right here. This ends another official Munzee podcast. Don't forget, subscribe, rate, review on your favorite podcasting app and join us next week for another informative episode.
