Munzees

[Scrappy Scout]

Has anyone heard of this thing called Munzees. If you had what is it and what are you suposed to do and how does it work, and is there any in the milwaukee area? Is this something that will change the game or how we play. Just some questions wondering what people think and learn more.

“Munzee is a real world scavenger hunt game where items are found in the real world and captured using your smartphone. You then level up and gain rank based on your score. Points are obtained by capturing other people’s munzees or when your deployed munzees are captured by someone else. Munzee is based off of the fundamentals of geocaching and adds another layer of fun to the hunt. Badges can be earned by unlocking specific achievements.

What do munzees look like?

Munzees come in any size or shape but all must contain a QR-code style barcode. The barcode combined with your GPS coordinates are the essential gameplay elements of munzee. “

Munzees can be hidden in containers, camouflaged or even in plain view.
other than that go to munzee .com

Well… I had a link to another four page thread, but it caused a few members to be blocked from the site after clicking on it. So…. If you’re interested enough, you’ll have to use the search function.
Sorry for anyone that got blocked.
Bad squirrel.

There are a couple in the Milwaukee area according to the map. The two that I looked at have not been found yet.

I tried “capturing” a munzee that happened to be 3 feet above a geocache I recently found in Pennsylvania. The munzee app apparently needed to be updated (or so I was guessing) and it wouldn’t scan the game piece for points or whatever you earn for “capturing” these. I wasn’t about to update the app in the field on a limited data plan. I’ve had the app loaded on my iphone for a long time and have yet to actually scan a munzee or hide one.

Actually, I unfortunately think you may be wrong…

Glancing at the ins and outs of how it works, it seems to fit very well into that slot for people you don’t care to log traditional types of caches because of the extra work. 🙄 Could this become a lazy mans geocaching?

Scan and done. Somebody say it ain’t so 🙁
