Seemyshell (00:01.442)
Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:04.014)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Seemyshell (00:08.201)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell, I'm an avid Munzee player and here to explore this game further.

Rob (00:14.046)
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.

Seemyshell (00:22.097)
So sit back, relax as today's episode is kind of full a little bit. We go back to what we've done. Obviously the week before as well, these creepy presents. Now there's creepy presence. They're going to end soon. They're going to end just a special tip for you. They're going to end. And of course some talk about blasts, Rob, because of this, this weekend, this big weekend we're having, and then we always end with the questions over the week and the tip of the week, Rob, you're in Florida as we speak right now, mate.

Rob (00:50.77)
Yeah Exactly we you know honestly, I don't even know where I am these days I have no clue just bouncing around all over the place. There's so much stuff going on and What what I'm what I've been excited about is Exactly this being in Florida like getting there because it's time. It's time for Munzee Mecca

Seemyshell (00:52.047)
Hahaha!

Seemyshell (00:56.673)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:04.603)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (01:09.325)
Yeah. Mm-hmm. I know.

Rob (01:18.75)
It's time to hang out. I'm not going to be looking at you through a computer screen. Going to be, I know actually hanging out, which we haven't done in quite a few months and yeah, it's time. We are very fortunate because there are so, so many cards. The map's flooded. Everything. Everything is ready to be capped and it's time.

Seemyshell (01:20.439)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (01:24.066)
Yes, face to face.

Seemyshell (01:30.204)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:40.341)
Oh yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:46.669)
And every level of that map is flooded from the, from the physicals to the virtuals, to the, you know, the cards. And then obviously the flats as well. There's the flat map there as well. So yeah, it is all flooded, Rob. So I've had a look. I'm excited for it. Now, as we speak, people don't know, but this is prerecorded. So we're actually talking on Wednesday. This comes out on Friday on Friday. We'll be at the event when this comes out, we'll be at an event and we'll be capping mad like crazy as well. So yeah, looking forward to it, right? Looking forward to seeing a lot of people there. There's.

Rob (02:06.128)
Hmm.

Rob (02:12.49)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (02:15.901)
I think there's 57 now, uh, you know, will attends on the, on the, on the log, which is good, but we can go back now before we go to the week that was, I'm really excited about the, uh, the Munzee monthly moments videos. They've been coming in. Yeah. Because this month, Rob, we spoke about it. I think last week, this, this month is all about your Munzee resolutions for 2024, what you'd like to do, et cetera. Now I want to, I shared one of the, uh, one of the videos with you.

Rob (02:24.359)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (02:30.243)
Have you?

Seemyshell (02:44.441)
This video came from Rez2100 and his Munzee monthly moments resolution, well, he's got two. The first one is to walk his street, which is really cool. He's got a walk. He's got six tree houses, Rob. So he walks those six tree houses every day, at least once a day. Now, to be honest, that's your motto as well, when it comes to Munzee is to get out and make you walk. And so he's going to do that every single day, do his six tree houses. But Rob, I want your opinion. He wants your job, mate.

Rob (02:58.74)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (03:13.165)
He wants your job for one day out of the year. What's going on there?

Rob (03:17.406)
You know, I think that, I think quite a few people over the years have thought, Oh, I want to be president for the day. And, and sometimes, you know, you come into different situations with, a different pair of glasses on, then you might, after you have a little conversation with me. So, not always all fun and games, but you know what? Rez 2100, I don't know, show up at an event. Let's see. Let's, let's chat sometime and see.

Seemyshell (03:23.801)
Oh

Seemyshell (03:31.865)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (03:39.846)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (03:44.763)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Rob (03:47.266)
just how serious you are about one to be president for a day.

Seemyshell (03:51.285)
Of course he did have some ideas about what he would do when he's president for the day too.

Rob (03:57.077)
His campaign promises are, well they're quite lofty I would have to say. It was a very entertaining video. I hope that they were aiming for entertainment purposes there. Because if so, they nailed it for me I can say.

Seemyshell (04:03.037)
Ha ha!

Seemyshell (04:11.243)
Exactly.

Oh, now look for me as well. I shared it with you as soon as I got it. I shared it with you. I went, Rob, have a look at this. So guys, if you don't know what we're talking about, then you can actually go and have a look at all the submissions, all of them altogether. You go to moments.munzee.com forward slash Jan 24. That's the website. So moments.munzee.com forward slash Jan 24. And Rob down the side, cause this is a website by Sam, of course.

Rob (04:19.255)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (04:39.205)
And then down the side, you can even look back at all the past months as well to see all the other months, monthly moments that have been submitted. So that's pretty cool. So that's the website you can go to. So yes, yes. Meanwhile, Rob, we are now, as I said, we were technically as this comes out, we're in Florida, you know, nice warm weather and everything. Well, not like it was on Tuesday this week, just gone when they got all the tomatoes coming through. But anyway, the week, the week that was Rob, the week that was we had.

Rob (04:51.52)
Yeah.

Rob (04:57.687)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (05:03.936)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:08.997)
The very first mega for 2024 was actually in England and you weren't there. Like what's going on? You were not there.

Rob (05:14.986)
Oh, I was not. Oh, I know. It wasn't there. I was sad that, uh, you know, they, they had that mega event and, um, it was, it was a surprise to the hosts. Like they posted quite a bit, like just how surprised they were. Um, they didn't set the event up as, as like, Hey, you know, we, we think, we think we've got the right spot for.

Seemyshell (05:22.449)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (05:30.321)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:34.887)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (05:42.254)
Yep.

Rob (05:42.422)
For 50 people to come and show up it just it was I think it was a perfect storm type of thing They've got the right location. They got the right timing where people were looking for something to do And yeah, it just worked out well, so it's in Cambridge UK which just yeah a really nice spot in England, which is great and so I guess everybody thought let's travel and

Seemyshell (05:49.465)
Yep.

Seemyshell (06:07.889)
Yeah.

Rob (06:08.79)
bring together the people from all over the country. So I think that what you could say is that Indians decided, they're gonna come out of the blocks really fast this year and maybe we should expect more from our English players. They're gonna show up and get all their events mega. That would be wild. Yeah.

Seemyshell (06:19.994)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (06:29.725)
That would be cool. Now in saying that though, too, Rob, you got these people got to realize that. Yes, it shocked the actual organizers of the event, but you know what? It shocked you guys as well. Like it shocked HQ Munzee HQ because you guys weren't ready. You didn't have the any artwork ready for badges or any of that sort of stuff. Like, you know what I mean? I can understand that. And they were going, where's our badges? We want our Munzee badges. Where's our badges? And you're like, holy heck, we haven't even started developing. Well, that's what I think you guys are saying. I haven't even started these yet. Like.

Rob (06:41.209)
Oh

Rob (06:48.94)
What?

Rob (06:56.72)
What?

Rob (06:59.969)
Yeah

Seemyshell (07:00.505)
So who does the artwork for the badges in that, mate, for these?

Rob (07:03.314)
The look of shock on my face that you would say we weren't ready We weren't ready to deliver the goods if someone made it ahead of schedule We had a schedule and we thought no what I don't even know No, you're right. You're right. You busted us we really did think that we had this week to go and deep apologies to our English players

Seemyshell (07:05.534)
I know.

Seemyshell (07:10.821)
Hahaha

Seemyshell (07:19.406)
Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah. Ha ha ha.

Seemyshell (07:27.005)
Hmm.

Rob (07:31.362)
who just, they shocked us all. So we, each of the badges, now this part is true. We did not plan to have like the actual mega badge deliver automatically because each one of them is gonna be unique. So, you know, you go out there to those events and if you happen to make it to.

Seemyshell (07:31.429)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (07:35.441)
Another f-

Seemyshell (07:39.483)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (07:50.106)
Yes.

Rob (07:56.174)
one that goes mega then after the fact you will be delivered a badge that is specific to that event with the name of that location like on it and the fact that it did make it to mega status so yeah exciting and yes we i think the whole world was shocked which is great let's fingers crossed let's hope that you and i end up with a badge

Seemyshell (08:03.377)
That's cool.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (08:10.801)
That's really cool.

Seemyshell (08:17.754)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (08:22.73)
from this weekend that we do end up going mega in Florida after having talked about it for so many weeks now. Yeah.

Seemyshell (08:23.813)
this weekend.

Seemyshell (08:27.849)
Yeah. So long. So who does the artwork though for the badges? Who's on who's the team?

Rob (08:33.49)
So Dylan's in charge of the whole creative team, in trying to get everything done. So my immediate questions went his way. And Andy is the one who's actually doing the actual pencil to paper, except it's not that. So yeah, Andy's the one who's doing the actual art for this one in particular.

Seemyshell (08:38.941)
Poor Dylan. Yeah.

Seemyshell (08:47.649)
Hahaha

Seemyshell (08:52.765)
Mm-hmm. Oh, okay.

So poor Andy, poor Andy's getting RSI like, cause you got everyone breathing down his neck now to get this badge out ASAP. So he's, he'd be, uh, yeah. And that's the thing. This happens on a weekend, you know, and you guys like, especially the creative team or the tech team, they're the nine to five is, you know what I mean? Yeah. Monday to Friday. I'm assuming so to certain degrees. And, uh, so all this happens on a weekend. What's, what's going to happen? You know what I mean? So understand anyway.

Rob (09:05.238)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (09:14.242)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (09:22.785)
A good shout out and congratulations to the UK for the very first mega for 2024, but also Rob, we had a small events as well in Netherlands, Germany, and the ACT Australia. And I'm going to get to the ACT again very, very soon in today's chat. Meanwhile, the leaderboards over the weekend obviously represented in England as well. And Friday we had HBRB with 293,000 points.

Herbie with 245 and Munzee Prof again with 190. His name is on this board so many times. Saturday Rob, what do we have on Saturday?

Rob (09:56.542)
Mm-hmm.

Saturday we had flamingo flurrier that was actually one of the hosts there. That was a 309,000 and then fins to LR at 300 K and then opased at 260 K.

Seemyshell (10:03.485)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (10:13.833)
And on Sunday we had skunk Adamski. That's a great name. I haven't, we haven't read that name out yet on this podcast. So congratulations to skunk Adamski.

Rob (10:18.43)
Isn't it? Yeah, he's a pretty cool guy. He's over there in England as well. I've told him before, love his name, it's cool.

Seemyshell (10:25.741)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I assume so.

Actually, to be honest with you, the first three, the first three on Sunday were really cool skunk Adamski, 2000 and 274,000 Max Maggot, another great name, 247,000. And then Molly Moo 09 at 20, 221,000 points. So skunk Adamski, Max Maggot and Molly Moo. They're great names Rob. Great name. Yeah. Now current events coming up this weekend.

Rob (10:52.182)
Yeah, creative names out there. I love it.

Seemyshell (10:57.581)
In the USA, obviously we've got Florida, because that's where we currently are now for the Munzee Mecca events currently sitting as of Wednesday at 57 attendees for the Saturday morning event. We have California, Missouri and Minnesota in Canada, Rob, we have.

Rob (11:12.314)
Ah, Ontario, we have British Columbia, and then in the world we've got England, Finland, Netherlands, Denmark, and Victoria, Australia.

Seemyshell (11:22.329)
And of course there's some large events coming up in California. We'll just call them large events because they're not mega status as yet. Large events coming up in California, but you made a good note on the, to me as well, Rob, before we started this and said, look, hosts, if you're a host out there, if you're, and you're thinking to yourself, you know what? I think this could be a big event and I want this to be a big event. It's slowly growing. Reach out to us, message me personally on any of my social media and say.

Rob (11:28.686)
That's true.

Rob (11:45.344)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (11:47.705)
This is my event. I want it like, you know, published a little bit more or spoken of a little bit more. And I'll look into it and we'll see what we can do from there. So that's what we can do for all our events. Cause the more people come to our events, the more cards are out there, the more cards are out there, the more points everyone gets from capping the cards, deploying the cards. So it's a win-win role.

Rob (12:02.702)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (12:07.646)
Yes, and on my personal side, I'd like to just not be surprised. So, you know, so yeah, if people reach out, then we can, we can kind of give them a little shout out, but we can also be prepared on the Munzee side. So there you go. It helps everyone. Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:13.305)
Mmm.

Seemyshell (12:23.141)
Exactly. So yeah, it doesn't, that doesn't come to a big surprise at the same time. Keeps Lou busy too. Cause you know, keeps him keeps her off Rob's back anyway. She's behind him right now. I dare say just shaking your head going, what's he talking about? Anyway, what's coming up this week? Uh, as we are now in Florida, we've got the crew. We have to say the creepy presence, Rob. They leave the map on January the 15th.

Rob (12:30.93)
Oh, Lou, Lou being busy, definitely, definitely with all this, you are correct.

Rob (12:41.073)
She is. She is.

Rob (12:49.144)
Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Seemyshell (12:51.921)
So very soon they leave the map. What, what could you do if you don't have all of them? Cause there's, I think there's 15 on each 15 for physicals and 15 for virtuals. So what can you do? Yeah.

Rob (13:01.49)
So, so many presents. They've been with us for quite a while now, obviously. You know, they started back, what, just after Halloween. So, yeah, so been with us for quite a few weeks. And well, if you're missing some of those, but first off, all of the presents are back. So the things that, you know, they were only bouncing for certain times, they've all come back in and they're all bouncing.

Seemyshell (13:09.925)
Hell, yeah, after Halloween.

Seemyshell (13:16.387)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:29.362)
So your chances of getting the different ones that you may not have yet, pretty decent. Magnets, magnets is, you know, one of those ways to try and attract those presents and maybe fingers crossed you get that last one that you're looking for. Why? The fact that there are so many and that you've made it to all but the last one, pretty impressive. Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (13:34.533)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (13:56.973)
Thanks mate. Thank you. Um, but in saying that all your previous, I think I've said this on a previous episode, all the previous promotions like this, I've never actually completed the entire lot of completed normally the virtuals, but not all the physicals. Rob this morning, Rob. Well, yes, I'll start yesterday. This is my personal, you know, event that happened yesterday for me, you know, yesterday it's raining and the storm was passing us here in New Jersey as well.

Rob (14:11.239)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:23.117)
It didn't stop me, Rob. I went outside and I went to my local little greenie and I started magnetizing and capping it, magnetizing and capping it. And of course I could only do that for a certain amount of time before it locks me out for 15 hours. Anyway, then I walk over to the next one and do the same with the next one. So I did that all yesterday and I had them all except for one, one Etch-a-Sketch, it's called Etch-a-Sketch. I had the Etch-a-Sketch to go. And then this morning, Rob, I woke up early and I thought, oh, the 15 hours has passed.

So I went back out again to assess the damage from the storm, but not really. That's what I told one of the people walking past with their dogs. Anyway, magnetized this, this physical. And what do you know? I got it. I got the X sketch the first time in my Munzee life. I finished the virtuals and the physicals for this. So.

Rob (14:55.469)
Right, yeah.

Rob (15:01.249)
I love it.

Rob (15:08.063)
No... No way!

Seemyshell (15:15.353)
For those people who did don't know this 30 presence in total, and it took me Robert took me 184 caps of the presence to get the 30. So there you go.

Rob (15:26.324)
Oh, wow. Persistence, I think that's what it is. Wow. That well. Well, congratulations. That is amazing. I'm yeah, I'm excited for you. You got you got it all now. Are there any hidden badges that you need to keep chasing?

Seemyshell (15:28.677)
Hahaha

Yeah, exactly.

Seemyshell (15:35.857)
Thank you.

Seemyshell (15:45.121)
I don't, I don't, I don't know. I don't think so. Good. Normally you say, you know, oh, there's no special badges for a hundred. I'm like, I'm at 184, mate. Come on, like. Yeah.

Rob (15:46.526)
I don't either. I'm just messing with you. I have no idea. Yeah.

Rob (15:53.336)
Uh...

Rob (15:56.871)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. To to my memory, and you should be good there. So yeah, plus, everyone documents all the badges. And if you look at it, and you know, you've got what everyone's talking about, then you're okay.

Seemyshell (16:00.797)
Mm-hmm. I think so, I think so.

Seemyshell (16:09.625)
Exactly. Anyway, moving on, we have double points weekend as we speak from today. They're on greeting cards, temporary virtuals, greenies and flats and virtual colors and rums. And that obviously goes to Sunday, the 14th at 2359 MHQ time. So you got some more different types this time, Rob, as double points.

Rob (16:27.468)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (16:32.542)
Yeah, yeah. Put the rums out there because, uh, you know, well Space Coast is going to be with us there at the Florida events and, um, you know, kind of have this set up, um, during the same time period. So yeah, I hope hopefully everybody, uh, has some fun with these, gets the, gets the points going for the middle of the month, just in case you're, you know, needing to, needing to, uh, ramp things up for your client requirements.

Seemyshell (16:38.166)
Yeah, exactly.

Seemyshell (16:44.322)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (16:52.027)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (16:57.725)
I was going to say for the clan wars, especially, you know, like especially early start, because I mean, you think about it, Rob, as well. January, one of my clan members obviously went on. We call it a holiday here. They call it vacation. So she went on vacation with her family and it was a camping trip. And so this camping trip, she always goes to the same location. So last year when she was there, she put out her own skyland and her own treehouse. So she didn't have to miss her capping. But.

Rob (16:59.609)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (17:22.905)
That's all that's around is a Skyland and a tree house. So that's all she kept for a whole week or so. And so it sort of led to the point where, you know, there's no POI's around or any of that sort of stuff. So she couldn't get her part of level one until she went back home, which is just back at home now. But now obviously with this double points weekend, she's gonna skyrocket back up the leaderboard again, which is pretty cool. She has deployed several hundred cards. Well,

Rob (17:26.475)
Okay

Rob (17:47.745)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (17:51.857)
Not 100, but you know what I mean, like, there's people out there that have deployed hundreds of cars at these events.

Rob (17:52.055)
Oh, wow.

Rob (17:58.715)
I can believe it based on looking at the map. Someone has to have put them there and there are there are thousands of cards so yeah well then.

Seemyshell (18:00.811)
I'm sorry.

Seemyshell (18:06.497)
Mm hmm. Now, Rob, we've got to talk as well. Cause as we are, this is being delivered on Friday, this podcast, we're doing something special as well. We're not going to have just the average Munzee podcast for next Friday. We can have a special role because we're going to be in person together. We can do a podcast to get a special podcast together. Yeah.

Rob (18:13.838)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:22.446)
What? I don't know.

Rob (18:29.607)
It's going to be exciting. I mean, we don't share a mic if we podcast together, do we?

Seemyshell (18:35.965)
No, no, you still bring your own mic. Come on, come on. Jeez. No. No, no. And when we do record as well, we just turn the hot tub off so we don't have to have the bubbles in the sound. So that's all good. That wasn't good. See, that surprised you, that one there. No, we're gonna do this.

Rob (18:38.083)
Okay, okay good. I was just making sure I didn't think we had to sit that close face to face. Just making sure. All right

Rob (18:49.341)
haha

Rob (18:54.859)
Yeah it did.

Seemyshell (18:55.865)
We're not going to do it in the hot tub people. Don't worry about it. We're going to do it live at an event. We're going to do some Munzee talk at an event. I'm bringing a separate microphone as well that we can actually do it face to face live with other people and have sort of a little bit of interviews with other people saying what their best thing is for them for Munzee. And maybe, just maybe Rob, we might inspire a few more of the Munzee monthly moments for their resolutions. That would be cool as well. Yeah, yeah.

Rob (18:57.846)
Ha ha ha!

Rob (19:07.031)
That's cool.

Rob (19:17.914)
Hey, I like it. Yeah, that's gonna be fun. I'm looking forward to it. That'll be fun. I've not done anything quite like that, obviously with my dumb question.

And people, you got to listen into that special, that special episode. Why? Because Rob's going to get some more special information that's coming out in regards to cake, yes, cake information. So that's coming up. Rob, while we're here, we're going to move on now. And we're going to talk about blast. We're going to have a little blast chat because we're here. And we've just said before, there's hundreds of thousands of cards and whatever else here as well.

Rob (19:37.682)
Ooh, maybe, maybe so. Yeah, that's right, stick around.

Rob (19:47.361)
Uh huh.

Rob (19:56.258)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (19:56.613)
People ask, you know, what can we, and I've seen it in them in the water cooler, someone said, you know, look, I put out a blast, but I'm only capturing 10 like what the hell, and then they showed what was around and obviously those sort of things can't be blasted. So let's talk about a blast chat. Firstly, the types of blasts. There's two types of blasts. There's a mini blast and a blast. Then blast the mini blast is up to 50 Munsies that are qualified Munsies.

Rob (20:08.8)
Alright.

Rob (20:14.59)
Yes. Mm-hmm. Yes. And blast.

Rob (20:24.619)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (20:24.817)
And the blast is up to a hundred. So there you go. So that's the two now, Rob, the cheapest. I worked this out. Did you read the show notes, Rob? When I suddenly saw this one with the cheapest way to get blasts.

Rob (20:27.393)
Right.

Rob (20:34.846)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Hey, no, it's being wise with your money. Mm-hmm

Seemyshell (20:37.669)
This was, yes. Yeah. Well, this was actually given to me by my good friend and a clan member. Hills. She, uh, she said about the cheapest way to get blasts as well. And the blasts themselves, they cost 225 Z for a mini 445 Z for a blast, but that is only in the app store on your device, on your device only, but if you go to a, the website itself, the blast online store, $4 each or 10 for $38. Now.

Rob (20:45.442)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (21:07.601)
It doesn't kind of add up that much because you get 500 Zed's from the store for $4 or 500 Zed's for $3.60 if you're a QZ member. See, I told you I did my research wrong.

Rob (21:16.038)
Ha ha!

I'm impressed. I'm just sitting there looking at it and you explaining it. Keep going, keep going. I like it.

Seemyshell (21:21.149)
I know. Either way, either way, it's cheaper to buy them with Zeds than with cash. So how does this work? Well, you buy your Zeds first and then convert them into the blast from there. So you can buy Zeds. Sometimes you can get it from resellers, but the normal Zeds themselves, as I said before, $4 for 500 Zeds, and then you spend $445 of those Zeds.

for a blast. So that's how it works. So it's actually cheaper to do it that way than buy four dollars for one blast.

Rob (21:55.334)
It is indeed and yeah, so we've got that. We have the packs, so to sum all of that up, there's a 10 pack, there's a 10 pack in the online store if you want to buy blast directly. It's wise to look at that. If you just like buying them one at a time, that's available, it's a better deal to buy 10 at a time. However, with the Zs, with the Zs in the app, do it that way, yes sir.

Seemyshell (21:57.211)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (22:01.949)
Mm-hmm. Ha ha ha.

Seemyshell (22:10.337)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (22:19.413)
Rob, Rob. It's not, it's not. So the Z's with Z's in the app, you can buy, say for instance, a mini, a mini, one mini costs you 225 Z's for one. Yeah.

Rob (22:25.25)
What? What do you mean? What do you mean?

Rob (22:36.742)
Okay, if you do this too slow, I'm gonna actually rearrange the pricing and that's a bad idea. So I'm just... Oh, okay.

Seemyshell (22:42.213)
That's good idea. No, that's a good idea because 225 zeds for one mini or 10 minis for 2250. So there's no actual reduced zeds price per blast. That's what I'm saying. So it's not cheaper to do the 10 to one. It's exactly the same. So whether you buy one or buy 10, you're buying them for per blast. You're buying for the same price. So maybe just maybe you can go out there and reduce the zeds for the 10 pack.

Rob (22:53.702)
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Seemyshell (23:11.965)
buy a little bit just so it encourages more people to buy this 10 pack rather than the singles. Yeah, there you go.

Rob (23:16.542)
Interesting. I guess I'm thinking I'm thinking the online piece rather than the in app. Okay. So yes, you're right. And it's all set up to be nice and easy and quick through the app. So I think that's it's almost like we're pushing you in that direction, because right there at your fingertips nice and easy. So you can do it. There you go.

Seemyshell (23:21.513)
Yeah. No, no. In app. In app.

Seemyshell (23:30.214)
Yes!

Seemyshell (23:34.715)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (23:39.409)
Exactly. Last year, Rob, when I was in Florida and I was driving, well, Josh was actually driving me around and I was doing, I got my first millionaires day. I did that. I went in the app and I was getting my blast 10 at a time from within the app itself and also using them because people ask as well. Can you use them with boosters? And the idea is yes, you can. You can use them with the boosters in terms of points boosters. You can use them with the radius boosters as well. So

Rob (23:47.725)
Woo!

Seemyshell (24:06.757)
Yes, make sure you use them with your boosters. Now, Rob, another question, how it's done. This is what come up obviously on the water cooler. What can be blasted and what can't be blasted, Rob? Ha ha ha.

Rob (24:17.022)
Oh man, there's a list and it is, I think that pushing the button to see what pops up is the easiest way to know and then blasting and then seeing what's left. There are lists, unfortunately things have changed over time so that you, it's sad for me to even say it, but I'm gonna say it out loud. You sometimes can't even trust what you see online as far as has that been updated properly? So the...

Seemyshell (24:30.023)
Thank you.

Seemyshell (24:33.99)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (24:41.433)
Yeah.

Rob (24:44.866)
Base the base virtual is blastable the all the cards all the temporary virtual's all the flats I can tell you those as a base layer all of those are and then there's there are some additional virtuals Okay

Seemyshell (24:48.323)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (24:52.796)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (24:59.837)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. And the ones that you definitely cannot blast are things like your surprise wheels or things that can give, give back with you with prizes. You can't actually blast those and understandable. Um, but the one of the best things I like about using the blast is you can click blast and then it comes back to confirm the blast and says, this is how many you're going to cap. So if what I'm saying that for is if you're going to use a, an actual blast like the 100, but you've only, and it comes back with 60.

You then don't use it. Say no exit that and use a mini and then get the other 10 by yourself. That's, that's more understandable. And then you don't wasting blast. So that's what I like about the app too. So that's what can be done. But the other thing you said it before in regards to like the flats or the, the cards, et cetera blasts can be used using the filters. So if you filter, you have a filter on, uh, like the double point weekend, and you have just cards, you have just, um, flats for instance, or whatever's on the double points.

Rob (25:48.194)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (25:58.153)
Just have that as your filter and then use your blast while you're in your filter. It doesn't blast all the other minor stuff like the crossbows and whatever else as well. It only blasts those that are in your filter. So yeah, that's a good tip there, Rob too. Do you like that one? Now obviously we've got to talk about blast radius as well. The blast radius is up to one mile. So, which is pretty cool. I like that. Up to one mile, but

Rob (26:13.142)
Yeah, I do. I do. I think it's great. Yeah. Wise usage.

Rob (26:23.766)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (26:27.897)
You cannot, you still gotta be within the, you still gotta be within the 300 foot of the virtuals. No, it's up to one mile. One mile.

Rob (26:28.343)
if.

Rob (26:33.882)
No, no up to a mile and that's a nice thing is up to a mile However, if you put that booster on which you know, you've already mentioned. Yes, it does apply boosters Then you put the capture radius booster it goes out to them two miles to collect everything now If you stand in one place and you try and blast let's say 20,000 cards over a two mile radius

Seemyshell (26:38.235)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (26:45.776)
Perfect.

Seemyshell (26:49.955)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (26:59.563)
I'm sorry.

Rob (27:00.234)
you might start burning the server down yourself. So just be prepared if you're in Florida right now and you're trying to do this, that it might be a bit slower for you. So, yeah.

Seemyshell (27:04.362)
I'm sorry.

Seemyshell (27:13.345)
Rob, as people are listening to this, we're in Florida and they're, they, they may be listening to this as they're in the Florida Floridian event and we're staying there next to it and we look around and as you know, if you've been doing a Munzee event, you know this. Everyone talks to each other, but no one looks at each other because everyone's looking at their phones and everyone's actually capping, but they're not ignoring you. They're talking, everyone's still talking. So this is the best part about Munzee. We can do two things at once, but Rob, if you and I put our heads up.

Rob (27:19.994)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (27:27.122)
Absolutely.

Rob (27:32.332)
No.

Seemyshell (27:39.157)
look around and see if people are like switching their hands for instance, because their phones getting too hot. Well, that means they're blasting too much. That's what I reckon is going to happen. Or little sparks come out from their earpieces on their phone. That's what's going to happen. Anyway, we've got to move along because this is getting a long one. We got the questions of the week. And this is a two part of question for you. The first one is from Nancy from the deadliest cashers great, great Munzee player and geocacher up in the north of New York.

Rob (27:47.271)
Yeah.

Oh yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Rob (27:54.619)
Well.

Seemyshell (28:08.685)
New York State, as we say. Yeah. Up that way. She asked Rob, why don't all physicals turn into cruisies after being unloved for 12 months, like brief, like others, like briefcases, for instance, she says that don't turn into cruisies. Why not?

Rob (28:09.462)
Oh really? Okay, cool.

Rob (28:22.87)
That's interesting. I like the term after being unloved for 12 months. Um the I think Hmm. I like I don't know because the cruzied list changes each month and not every single month But I do go through and I add or remove or change things But the briefcase is on the list right now So I'm it should be so you might want to check and see

Seemyshell (28:27.125)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (28:49.606)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (28:51.306)
Has that one been capturing that time or send in the support ticket because the briefcase is on the prize wheel is the only Physical monzie not on the cruise e-list right now

Seemyshell (29:02.397)
Oh, there you go. There you go. Great, great answer. Thank you for that. And then this is the second part of the question. And this is from a different Muncie player. Florida finder two asks, why can't cruisies then be active every day? He finds it hard to find the limited time when they're available to cap them for his clan wars, et cetera. And if he caps them then on non-cruisey days, then they're just one capture. So he's like, why can't they be all?

Rob (29:03.434)
Yeah. Sure.

Rob (29:23.883)
Mm-hmm.

Well, cruisers are active, you know, on multiples of three. So they start on the third, three, six, nine, twelve, um, that kind of thing. And, uh, they, they don't, uh, we don't have them active all the time because then you don't know what the base type is that you were possibly looking for. So let's say you need a water mystery, um, or you need, you know, evolution types of things where you have to get rid of the cruiser on top in order to be able to see what is underneath. Um,

So it's kind of a reverse thing. So it's used. The the cruisy program is used both as an extra point reward for the players who are dedicated to get to that level. But it's also on our end. It's a map cleanup project. That's where it really started back in the day.

Seemyshell (29:59.101)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (30:14.601)
Oh, that's a great idea. Yeah. And good, and good point. Good point too. There you go. Don't forget people. You can submit your questions for Rob for the end or the tip of the week via me personal message on Facebook, Instagram, and or discord, and we're going to leave it now, Rob with the Munzee tip of the week. I come up with this tip of the week out of a recent Munzee post on the water cooler. My good friends at the ACT, Rob, they found event flags because Australia don't have, we didn't, we

Rob (30:18.218)
Yeah.

Rob (30:39.438)
Oh yeah, welcome.

Seemyshell (30:43.309)
I've never been to a Munzee event before I actually came to the US. And so they have found these event flags. They are just a plastic removal, reusable survey flag that you can get in any hardware store, and then you can print out on paper, the actual physical QR codes and sticky tape them on the actual flags themselves. That way the flags can then be placed at exactly the right distance apart from each other, as you do a nice little walk around the park.

Now reading into this post, I did say that as I said, they are great and they were used going back 2014, 2015. Dale and Barb, they reached out and they said they were introduced to them from Anna Banana. And when they, when they actually hosted an event with nothing around, like nothing to stick the Munzees to, Anna Banana said, oh, have you tried these survey flags? And so that's what it is. They come in different sizes from an 18 inch up to the 36 inch.

Rob (31:21.966)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (31:26.751)
Mm.

Seemyshell (31:40.613)
And someone said that they liked the 36 inch so they don't have to bend down as far, but yeah. So there you go. Event flags, Rob. Yeah, there you go.

Rob (31:44.306)
Yeah, yep. It's a good way to do it. Just little tiny survey markers and you can have one person picking it up and they just stand there and hold it out for everyone and everyone walks up and scans it and you stab it back into the ground and off you go. Yeah, it's very handy.

Seemyshell (31:59.593)
Exactly. Or you just leave it there and bend down slightly and hold the flag out so it doesn't flap in the wind. But anyway, all right, Rob. So there ends another official Munzee podcast.

Rob (32:02.894)
Mm-hmm. Yep, true.

Rob (32:10.114)
