Seemyshell (00:00.374)
we've got it in front of us, that's pretty cool. Welcome to the Official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:06.069)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Seemyshell (00:10.242)
And I'm Craig Olsen and to Seemyshell I'm an avid Munzee player and here to explore this game further.

Rob (00:15.533)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, divulge some secrets, and inform players from around the world just what's coming your way.

Seemyshell (00:22.89)
So sit back, relax as today's episode is high scoring Rob. We chat all about the week that was with the massive points from the Munzee Mecca in Florida. Some flat Rob scatters that are out and about at the moment. Sand, sand dollars, am I getting that right? And I've also, we always finish off with a question for Rob and a Munzee tip of the week. Rob, my big weekend, big weekend. Let's talk about the weekend a little bit first, shall we?

Rob (00:48.645)
Okay, I'm still waking up from the weekend man. It's been wow just over the top, but yes, let's talk about it

Seemyshell (00:53.342)
I know. Yeah. So if those didn't know, if your head is in the sand like an ostrich, we had a three day bender of a weekend. We'll say that when it comes to Munzee, not alcohol, Munzee and yeah, three days of full on Munzee madness or Mecca, sorry, in Florida, Orlando, Florida it was too. So that was really cool. Rob, we got down there Thursday, Thursday afternoon.

Rob (01:06.926)
Yeah.

Rob (01:21.381)
We did. We flew in Thursday. You got there a bit earlier than I did. And you got to make sure that every Munzee was captured at the airport. That's for sure. Yeah.

Seemyshell (01:26.093)
Hehe

Seemyshell (01:33.838)
Absolutely. And guess what Rob, because I was there for that long too. This is the thing people don't understand when it comes to Munzee stuff. If you've got time on your hands, you've got time to Munzee. You know what I mean? Like that's, that's the whole point of it. And so I didn't have to use any blasts. I didn't have to use any boosters. I didn't have to use any of that sort of stuff. I just literally, Rob, I walked around the airport in Orlando, got my steps in, got my exercise in, got my points in and killed time waiting for you. So how good is that? See, there you go.

Rob (01:43.383)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (02:00.797)
Yeah, you're so lucky that you got to wait for me for all those hours. That's how you're putting it. And some people will be like, yeah, rather just move, go somewhere. Lots of points.

Seemyshell (02:09.094)
No, no. See an avid, an avid Munzee player. There's a reason. There's a reason why you go early to things. I mean, let's be honest, all listeners out there at the moment, you do not, when you drive on a trip away, you do not go straight from A to B. Do you know you divert? So you divert left front. You divert via the Munzee way, so to speak. So yes. Yeah.

Rob (02:24.053)
Um.

Rob (02:29.265)
Good point. Sometimes you might actually drive the speed limit just so you can cap more Munzees instead of driving warp speed because you want to get somewhere very, very quickly. Okay, you're right.

Seemyshell (02:34.113)
I...

Seemyshell (02:40.67)
Or you can drive those in Texas, I think they're having those little side lanes along the freeway. You can drive those side lanes even slower and get them all that way. See, so.

Rob (02:46.129)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (02:50.625)
Oh, oh yeah, yeah the access roads. Yeah. There you go

Seemyshell (02:54.346)
access roads, they're the ones that you can drive the access roads instead of the main roads. Anyway, Rob, this weekend, I'll let you know now, I'm going to brag, just a little humble brag here. I got over, I got over 2 million points both like two days, Friday and Saturday, over 2 million. So I got over 4 million points for the weekend. It was massive, mate. It was massive.

Rob (03:04.593)
Alright.

Rob (03:12.313)
Well...

Rob (03:16.635)
Wow. What was your previous record for points in today?

Seemyshell (03:21.27)
Previous record was 1.8 million and so I beat my previous record two days in a row So I think that's pretty cool, but I'm bummed out Rob. I am really bummed out because The GCV he managed to stay longer than me in the down there in the weekend And so he I beat him overall points right when it comes to like overall points lifetime points I had just managed to catch him and I was ahead of him Rob was heading by 300,000 points and I was so excited and so happy I come home now

Rob (03:23.343)
Okay.

Rob (03:26.918)
Wow.

Why is that?

Seemyshell (03:50.654)
I'm 1.7 million points behind.

Rob (03:54.029)
Yeah, sorry about that. I took him to Disney Springs and we had lunch after we dropped you off. And yeah, he was like, wow, look at how many more Munsies there are here. And then he stopped talking to me and he just played Munsy.

Seemyshell (03:56.214)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (04:04.042)
Uhhhhhh...

Seemyshell (04:08.47)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (04:14.698)
Well, if people don't realize either, I mean, Josh and I, and we thank you and we think the freeze tag and Munzee team, Rob, um, Josh and I were down there and we stayed with you in an Airbnb. Now there's a good side and a bad side to this role. The good side is the good side is we've got a driver in you, you know, so we can play Munzee the whole time. The bad side is Rob, we were working as well. Well, Josh and I were doing the videos. We're doing the podcast stuff. We're doing all that sort of thing. We left, people don't realize we left that Airbnb 8 AM in the morning. We didn't get back at the Airbnb.

Rob (04:27.727)
Oh yeah.

Rob (04:42.629)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (04:44.322)
And sometimes until almost midnight, we didn't then go to bed until two, three AM in the morning and then up and do it again. That was a big weekend.

Rob (04:51.373)
Yeah. Yes, yes, it was. It was a lot of fun. You know, I think we had a good time. So I thank you and, and Josh for coming along for the events and for documenting it. And, you know, everyone should go and check out geocaching vloggers video because he put one out this previous Sunday that was a coexist that was geocaching with the Munzee president. So

Seemyshell (05:03.233)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (05:10.368)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:13.65)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (05:19.477)
I always enjoy making an appearance in his videos and that was fun. So while I said that, uh, that he and I, um, you know, he stopped talking to me and only played Munzee, that's not true. Actually on Sunday, after we dropped you off, we made you jealous by doing two more adventure labs, um, as well. So while we walked around Disney Springs, not only did he get another million points, but

Seemyshell (05:29.628)
Hehehehehehe

Seemyshell (05:37.694)
Oh, of course you did. Of course you did.

Rob (05:45.265)
but we also got two more souvenirs for completing the, or postcards I guess, for completing the Adventure Labs there. So we had a good time. That's kind of the theme I think of the whole weekend. For you know, the three of us was just a coexisting piece to it. We spent obviously a lot of time at the Munzee events. We hung out with a lot of players. All four of the events made it to mega.

Seemyshell (05:55.059)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:58.663)
Mm-hmm.

the coexisting piece to it. We spent obviously...

Seemyshell (06:13.352)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (06:14.773)
Actually, there were five events of the Thursday night, which was a pre-event. Everyone, like us, hadn't traveled in for that first one. But yeah, we had a great time. There were more than 50 people there, probably almost 60, I guess. So it matched up with what the Will attends on the calendar said. But yeah, we had a good time, did some coexisting, played quite a few different games.

Seemyshell (06:20.342)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (06:28.038)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (06:36.714)
We had a good time just coexisting. Quite a few different games.

Rob (06:42.637)
And yeah, just had a good time. So, uh, so yeah, thanks for, thanks for your part and all of that. And, and, and he put a video out last Sunday, um, on his channel that people can check out, but he's also got things on tick tock and, um, Instagram reels and stuff like that. So check out his, um, his social channels.

Seemyshell (06:46.158)
Thanks for your part and all of that. Anytime, mate, anytime.

Seemyshell (06:52.681)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (06:56.89)
Yeah, that's right.

All these social channels. We have a full rundown video coming out on Sunday this week after this, uh, podcast is published, but also we've got to make mention as well. Munzee events. It's called Munzee events is the actual YouTube channel name. And that is run by not wheeling w Helen. I'm told w Helen. We've got to say we've got to talk. We've got to call him w Helen from now on. Um, yeah. So he runs the Munzee events, uh, YouTube channel and he's did a quick turnaround as well.

Rob (07:22.106)
W.L.N.

Seemyshell (07:32.126)
His videos are more like, you know, look, this is, this is what I, what I saw when I was there, you know, they're not a vlog sort of style. So you don't really get all the talking and stuff. He's always behind the camera, but guess what Rob on the video coming on Sunday, he's in front of the camera. I made sure of it. So, yeah, exactly. Exactly. And ladies beware, he's got his guns out too. So just be careful with that. So anyway, let's move on Rob. We can talk about what we can. Yeah.

Rob (07:45.181)
Oh, everyone can see him wheeling and dealing. Wheeling is in front of the camera. Good.

Rob (07:57.211)
Oh man.

Oh wait, there's one more. There's one more thing that I forgot to mention that was very important. On Saturday, Carson passed me by. He did. So, BuckeyeCasher111, he passed me. He ended up with more points overall than I have. Now, he's not on my radar. I didn't realize someone was chasing me so, so fast. However, he noticed, and when he did, he sent you a screenshot.

Seemyshell (08:02.754)
Oh. Yeah, what's that? Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (08:10.578)
Oh, as in BuckeyeCasher111.

Seemyshell (08:17.217)
Hehehe

Seemyshell (08:23.03)
Ah, hahahaha

Mm-hmm. Yeah, he did.

Rob (08:29.381)
and his humble bragginess of, look, I passed Rob. Well, we still invited him out and I still bought him pizza on Saturday night, even though he passed me by. So Carson, congrats, but I'm coming for you. I'll get my place back.

Seemyshell (08:38.317)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (08:42.359)
What?

Seemyshell (08:46.498)
Well, Rob, well played by Carson. The reason why I say that is because he didn't actually send me the screenshot or he didn't tell us until after you paid for the pizza. It was afterwards. He is a very smart guy. So well done to Carson. Well done, mate, Buckeye Cashier. And yeah, he made the trip, drove down all by himself as well with great, great work and a big thanks as well to the organizers and sponsors of the events in Florida.

Rob (08:58.051)
He's a smart guy. Smart guy.

Rob (09:07.076)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (09:12.75)
Oh yeah.

Seemyshell (09:13.494)
They did a fantastic job with it. Beautiful locations, I will say that, and you'll see those locations in the video as well. Studying locations, lots of cards, and a big thank you as well to everyone around the world deploying cards and everything else as well for all of us to cap to actually brag about the amount of points we got. So yes, thank you for everyone of the Munzee World. Anyway, Rob, the week that was, we're gonna talk about it. Yes, we had events in Florida. We also had California, Missouri, Minnesota, Ontario, British Columbia, and in the world, Rob, we had.

Rob (09:32.272)
Absolutely.

Rob (09:43.805)
England, Finland, Denmark, and Victoria, Australia, and in the Netherlands, they had an event, and guess what they did? They went mega. That's so crazy. Yeah, it's great.

Seemyshell (09:49.255)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (09:52.974)
I know, can you believe it? All these megas need a popping off left, right and center. See what happens when you put some sort of inspiration to get some sort of mega going. And they all do it, which is really cool. The leaderboards ready for this now. We're gonna have to talk a little slowly. I do a little slowly for people to actually sink this in. The leaderboards over the weekend, Friday. A new world record was done with 6.395 million points.

Rob (10:04.89)
It is great.

Rob (10:17.713)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (10:21.302)
by XP to world record brand new one. Wow. Munsey Prof as well. Second as always, he's gonna laugh about it too. Cause I spoke to him about that. He got second. He got second with like a 5.365 million points, almost the world record in second as well. Eagle Dad and Xenia, they got a 5.089 million. There was three players over 4 million, six players over 3 million, including.

Rob (10:25.539)
Wow.

Rob (10:31.943)
Hehehe

Seemyshell (10:50.606)
the GCV by the way, quick, quick mention as well to fun, bro. He beat him, Rob. He beat, he got eighth and Rob got, and Josh got ninth. So a fun bro actually got the infinity badge over Josh. Anyway, uh, listen to that for a fun interview. That's on, that's on the channel as well, but overall Rob, 29 players got over 1 million points. Wow. That's incredible. So, so what's, what's that actually make it? One, two, three, six.

Rob (10:52.197)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (10:58.13)
Hehehe

Rob (11:03.403)
Ehh

Yeah.

Rob (11:12.765)
What? What a day.

Seemyshell (11:19.31)
12 look at me doing math on the fly 41 players got over a million points 41 players got over a million points that day. There you go.

Rob (11:29.353)
No, only 21 only 29. It was the top of the leaderboard. Yeah. Oh, I and I'm just realizing what you meant for me to calculate. Sorry about that. And so from 1 million above 29 total. Yeah.

Seemyshell (11:33.243)
Oh, okay. I thought you meant, oh, see, I read the show notes wrong. That's okay.

That's okay. But that's right. Over 29. The 29 total got over a million Saturday. Rob, how did we go on Saturday?

Rob (11:52.101)
Colecracker7, who she was actually the main host of the events. So congrats, thanks to her. Colecracker7 won the day with 5.569 million points and KPR1000 came in at just over 4 million. Danielle41101 at 2.689 million. And total, there were 22 players over.

Seemyshell (11:56.375)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (12:18.425)
I'm not gonna lie.

Rob (12:19.95)
1 million points on Saturday as well. Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:21.666)
That's incredible. And I will say as Rob, I did, I did meet, I met a few players over the weekend for the first time and putting faces to names as well. But Danielle, 41101, I met her, but sort of from, we spoke a couple of words, but she was so busy munzing. She did like, she literally heads down in a phone and she walked. So yeah, she really does. No, no. And here's another tip as well for you players. And this is what I found out from Danielle.

Rob (12:41.105)
She chases the points. The points do not escape her. Nope.

Seemyshell (12:49.918)
She's got a little backpack, Rob, and she's got her, um, her portable charges in her little backpack. And then she's got the charge on her phone coming from the backpack into her phone. So she doesn't have to carry two things at once. All her charging stations in her backpack and her phone's in a hand by itself plugged in. So there you go. Anyway, on Sunday we had the lanes with 2.4 million Jack Sparrow with 1.4 million. The GCV edging out chicken run.

Rob (13:00.849)
Huh?

Rob (13:05.309)
Nice.

Seemyshell (13:15.722)
1.07 million to 1.05 million. So GCV got third on Sunday, you see? And that's when, that's when I came home and he stayed, see? And he gets the exactly right. But, but Rob, the biggest news coming from this weekend though, I think personally, the biggest news there is, um, you can go ahead, go ahead, Rob. This is all yours.

Rob (13:24.925)
Mm-hmm. You're welcome, Josh.

Rob (13:32.697)
Yeah. Well, we have a new king Munzee. Yeah, Whelan also known now we learned as W. Helen Whelan stepped up into the top spot he passed by Humbert seven that happened Sunday after the morning events. He's now number one he's got over 208 million points and continuing to grow.

Seemyshell (13:39.133)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (13:55.169)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:02.73)
And that 208 million points is as of today's recording, which is Wednesday. So it's going to be a couple more than that by the time this goes to air on Friday, only two days, but anyway, yeah. Well done.

Rob (14:07.088)
Yeah

Rob (14:11.165)
Yeah, yeah. So a big, big congrats, big congrats to him. You know, I will say, though, that there was a lot of conversation at the events starting in particular on Saturday morning about Whelan's quick heading up toward, you know, being number one. And so because we respect Bob and his style of play, which is with the

Seemyshell (14:29.139)
Mm.

Rob (14:39.761)
camera in front of him recording everyone else at the events. He is not really one to put himself or to want to be in the limelight. And I think whether he's okay with me saying it or not, I am. He's that guy. He's kind of private and sort of a phantom. And so he's here, he's there, he's everywhere. We wanted him to win, to do this before the events just so that we could all celebrate.

Seemyshell (14:41.571)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (14:49.08)
Mm-mm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (15:00.506)
Hmm

Rob (15:09.829)
He did not want to be celebrated in person, which is why he did hold off until Sunday. Now, that's all rumor. That's what I've heard. And whether he said it to other people or not, it is very clear that that's what he wanted because it took him less than two hours after the Sunday event to make it to number one. So again, congratulations. We understand, Bob. We stayed back. We stayed out of your business and let you celebrate how you wanted to celebrate when you wanted to celebrate. So.

Seemyshell (15:16.615)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (15:27.51)
Hehe

Seemyshell (15:32.961)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Rob (15:38.673)
Thanks, Bob. Congratulations, Whelan. You're the man, quite literally now, you are number one. Congrats.

Seemyshell (15:39.013)
Exactly.

Seemyshell (15:42.806)
Wait. Yeah. And let's see. Let's see how long he lasts on the number top. I'm going to say it's going to be a while. I'm going to say it's going to be a while. He's not one of those players that turn around and say, well, I've done it now. So now I can just put my foot back and relax. He's not that type of guy. I think he likes.

Rob (15:50.246)
Yeah.

Rob (15:58.001)
I agree. You know what it depends on? How hungry are the people behind him? And there are a few people that have been coming up the ladder with him fairly quickly. I don't know if there will be any fight from Humbert 7 to regain. Most of the time, the people in the past that were number one and are past,

Seemyshell (16:02.327)
Mm-hmm.

This is true.

Seemyshell (16:12.136)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (16:18.058)
Oh yeah, to regain control.

Rob (16:27.693)
a fight because the people that are coming up have momentum behind them, cap on points and everything else. Yeah. So, so I would expect that he's got a, he's got a couple of other players, some of them that we list pretty regularly as second place. Yeah. So we'll see what happens. But yeah, that good times.

Seemyshell (16:28.436)
Yeah, yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly right.

Seemyshell (16:42.103)
You hear often on the show.

Seemyshell (16:48.314)
Exactly. But from last weekend, Rob, with all those massive points coming up this weekend now, we've got one event in the world. One, one only. And you know what? Tell you a small event, but it's getting massive amount of cards because it's the only one and it's in Ohio. But I love the name of it, Rob. It's called the Penguin Awareness Day event. Didn't even know that existed. No.

Rob (17:07.889)
Hmm. I wasn't aware. Yeah, I wasn't aware there was a penguin awareness day. So maybe, maybe penguins next year.

Seemyshell (17:12.85)
No, exactly. Exactly. So exactly. Good luck to them, but also large events coming up, Rob. We've got to talk about this as well. There's the one in California, March eight and nine. So far there's 25 attendees. So the halfway there to mega ACT in Australia, Rob, they're having a massive event as well, and it's also a coexist event, which is pretty cool. That's on March 30th in ACT Australia. If you're a player in ACT Australia, you do, you coexist or you're a Munzee player, get to that event.

Get to get it to 50 have if Rob if that makes 50 guess what? That's the first I believe that's the first Munzee mega event in the southern hemisphere There you go. There you go

Rob (17:53.183)
I believe you are correct. There were none last year, so yes, it would be.

Seemyshell (17:57.562)
No, no. So there you go. Um, and also, of course we've got to mention the one in Minneapolis, Rob in May 10th and 12th as well. That's always a good one too, up in Minneapolis, Minnesota in May 10th and 12th. But if you're a host of a growing event and you haven't noticed yet, uh, please reach out to us and let us know, uh, to say, look, we're growing and we may hopefully make mega status as well. And we can also mention you on this podcast. Anyway, Rob, 18 minutes into the show, we're talking all about the week that was, let's talk about the week that is.

Um, there's what's happening this week. There's some scattered robs around. What are you doing? You got scattered everywhere, mate. Mm hmm.

Rob (18:32.145)
Man, quite literally, I have been scattered from the week before Christmas through this exact moment. I am still not home. So I'm scattered all around the world. And so, hey, why not throw some flat scatters out there too? We always have a good time with our flat scatters. And I think everyone enjoys chasing them. This is sort of the kind of thing where, I believe these flat scatters, we've done this on.

Seemyshell (18:41.131)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (18:46.202)
I'm sorry.

Seemyshell (18:56.542)
Yeah.

Rob (19:01.857)
National Hat Day for the last couple of years now last year. It was during the Munzee Mecca weekend So that made it really crazy this time I'm actually kind of glad that it was after because it's just an extra element of chaos. So The scatters are on the map until Sunday the 21st at midnight And what you need to do is you need to cap two of them to earn a special badge that is

Seemyshell (19:03.33)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:31.625)
only during this event. So there are other badges that you can earn from those scatters that are, you know, started back in time. But this new badge is a special hydration hat badge. But it's only available during this one event. So get it. Have you not?

Seemyshell (19:49.094)
I haven't seen it yet. I haven't got it yet. I know. Well, it's freezing. It's freezing cold. And like Josh says, we don't talk about the weather here on this podcast, but it's freezing cold at the moment here. I don't get, don't get me wrong. I still get out at least once a day and get my regular cap ons because that's my resolution as well as POI's and a cap ons and deploys. Um, but yeah, so I haven't got mine yet, but I plan to get it today. Rob plan to go. I'm going to go to the gym today and we get it today.

Rob (20:01.447)
Yeah.

Rob (20:13.013)
Okay, good. I just happened to be back in my old stomping grounds right now, right. And so on the 15th, I was I blasted a bunch of sleep seas. Little did I know quite a few of them were flat robs. So the scatters were absolutely everywhere. Yeah, so I cruised back over to, you know, my local park and got

Seemyshell (20:20.641)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (20:29.766)
Mmm.

Uh, everywhere.

Seemyshell (20:40.398)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:42.153)
So, so, so many of my hats that have been scattered. And sure enough, there it was, my hydration hat. Now this badge is really, really important because hydration is vital. You know that, right? Ha ha ha.

Seemyshell (20:45.826)
Hahaha

Seemyshell (20:51.862)
Mm hmm. Exactly. Oh, absolutely. And your type of hydration as well. I like your type of hydration. I had your type of hydration on the weekend just saying. Although you're a sour hydration guy. I'm an IPA hydration guy.

Rob (21:03.629)
With me, yeah, that's right. Ah, man, I am. That's true, that is true. Quite a different style there, but, put Twitch, Twitch their own.

Seemyshell (21:15.038)
And Josh, Josh is a light. Josh is a very light hydration guy. You know, he likes it light and fluffy and whatnot. So, Hmm, Blake, your way hydrate your, I like it. I like it. Rob moving on. Now we, I've noticed as well playing, uh, like all the events, et cetera, and doing the pins over the weekend, some of these cake credits, and then you gave out some information over the weekend in regards to cake, eating cake. We can't eat it yet. We can collect it. We can't eat it yet.

Rob (21:18.945)
Yes. It's like the game of Munzee. Munzee, play it your way. And hydration, you know, hydrate your way. That's what it is.

Seemyshell (21:43.682)
What's going on with the cake credits, Rob?

Rob (21:43.937)
Yes, correct. So I talked about it a tiny bit Thursday night. I talked about it a little bit more Friday night. I talked about it a little bit more on Saturday. So what we've done is we are still completely finalizing all of the information about Cake. We wanted to turn it on so that all events during 2024 would be available to collect it. However, we did run into an issue or two.

Seemyshell (21:49.515)
Mm. Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (22:07.27)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (22:12.726)
to an issue or two at the, let's see, back at it.

Rob (22:14.421)
At the Munzee Mecca events and part of that was why we were holding things back so that we could test it in person We've made some fixes this week We are still going to make sure that it's all working properly before we finalize like How you can redeem? The cake in order to get things so what I did tell some people at events So I might as well make that known to everyone there will be the ability to

Seemyshell (22:21.574)
We made some fixes this week. We are still going to make sure.

Seemyshell (22:33.048)
Mm-hmm.

what I did tell some people at events, so I might as well make that known to everyone. There will be the ability to redeem for some things that are currently in the game. There will be the ability to redeem for some new items, and there will be something to save your cake up for rainy days. Oh, bigger. Nice.

Rob (22:43.929)
redeem for some things that are currently in the game. There will be the ability to redeem for some new items and there will be some like, save your cake up for a rainy day. There's going to be something, you know, bigger as well. So yeah. So that's all the news though, because I can't, I can't, I can't quite throw it all out there yet. But you know, I know. I hope that's enough to keep people holding on.

Seemyshell (23:03.594)
That's okay. No, no, that's all right. I'm not going to push you. But I will say. Exactly. Mm hmm.

Rob (23:12.537)
Go to events, collect the cake, host your own event, whatever it is, and it's going to be worth it.

Seemyshell (23:19.254)
but a simple rundown for those of you who have not heard about this cake stuff. Cake is a new, is a different separate currency that could only be earned through events. So you go to event, you earn this cake credits themselves. And then later on, when it gets published, you can actually redeem your cake in the redeem store. So it's just a new currency, Rob. That's all it is for events. So that's, that's a quick rundown for those of you who don't know anything about cakes. But Rob, I'm going to move on now. Cause 23 minutes into the, into this scene, to the show. I know so quick. Sand.

Rob (23:37.657)
Mm-hmm. Yes.

Seemyshell (23:49.196)
dollars.

Rob (23:51.217)
Keep your eyes on the blog, people.

Seemyshell (23:53.846)
That's it. That's all you can say. So that's it. You know, it's dollars. So some sort of, yeah, sand dollars, make it that as you will. And obviously, yeah, as Rob said, listen to it, watch the blog and we'll, we'll probably mention something as soon as it comes out on the blog, we'll mention it on this, on the show as well. So there you go. More of that next week. So listen, tune in for next week's episode. Meanwhile, let's go move on to the Munzee question of the week. This one here is from minions are cool.

Rob (23:55.391)
That's what I got. Keep your eyes on the blog. Stay very, very close to it.

Rob (24:12.601)
More info next week.

Seemyshell (24:23.338)
He asked for recurring events. So if you're an event host and you publish events and you publish events monthly, whatever you like to do, is it possible that they can use the same QR codes from their previous events the month prior, like we said before on those flags and save them having to print them out each every time. So can you use the same QR codes? Can they be refreshed?

Rob (24:45.037)
No. It's a simple answer. Sorry, everyone. It's not possible because each event count is unique. And every QR code is even more unique than the event. So, yeah, it's not possible. Yeah, we've had a chat about maybe how we might make it possible. But at this point in time, no, it is not. Sorry. Good question, though. Yep.

Seemyshell (24:46.582)
Find the simple. There you go. Yeah.

Hmm

Seemyshell (24:54.538)
There you go.

Seemyshell (24:58.482)
Mm-hmm. There you go.

about maybe how we might make it possible. Mm-hmm. At this point in time, so, sorry. No, that's all right, that's all right. That's why they ask. That's a good question. That's, yeah, very good. Meanwhile, we're gonna move on now to the tip of the week. Now this one refers back to like the flat robs, for instance, and things that happen, like published things that happen all the time. And the question is from Udak, or tip of the week is from Udak. I got, he asked the question so that I think this is a good tip.

And let's talk about trading Munsies with other players. So when a flat Rob specials come out like they do pay, how do people Rob, how do people then say, you know, I want to trade. I don't have any around me. I don't have any other players around me, but how can I trade with people overseas or in separate States, et cetera.

Rob (25:44.965)
Yeah, just random luck is probably not going to be the best way. Just throwing a flat rob out there and hoping that someone goes, oh, I'll put one in a random place and it lands next to you. That doesn't happen. So instead, you've got to go looking for the communities. We've got the community on Discord at munzee.com slash Discord. So you can find us there. There's an actual trading channel there. Then you also have multiple.

Seemyshell (25:49.493)
No, no, no.

Seemyshell (26:01.068)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (26:05.938)
Discord. You can find us there.

Seemyshell (26:10.622)
and then you also have multiple Facebook groups, the biggest one being Muncie Watercooler, and when we announce things like the Flat Robb Scatter, there will be posts, you know, people saying, hey, I'll trade you the Flat Robbs and here's my core piece. It happens all the time. It's a really, really great thing we have about our community. Yeah, yeah.

Rob (26:15.293)
Munzee Facebook groups, the biggest one being Munzee Water Cooler. And there will, when we announce things like the Flat Rob Scatters, there will be posts of people saying, hey, I'll trade you Flat Robs and here's my coordinates. It happens all the time. It's a really, really great thing that we have about our community. Everyone works to help each other out.

you've because you know, you get the cap on points there. There's a lot of good serendipity to it, I suppose, where, you know, you've got, you've got the both parties end up feeling good about what's going on there and get the rewards.

Seemyshell (26:39.274)
because you know, you get the cap on there. There's a lot of good serenity. Yeah, exactly. The other Facebook group I will mention as well is the gardens, the Munzee gardens, a Facebook page. And the reason why I said this when these things come out, sometimes you'll find this flat robs, there's types in the gardens themselves.

Rob (26:58.168)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (27:06.742)
So you can then say, look, reach out to the player who owns a garden. Say, look, if I deploy one for you, you got it for me. So it's just, it's just about communication. That's all it is. And communicate via that way. And it's easy. Rob, we said it before tip of the week. And I learned something a few episodes back when it comes to the maplinks, you can give map links of where you want them deployed, uh, either via the, uh, the website or, and I learned this on the actual, uh, app itself on your phone. You can actually get a map link from your phone.

Rob (27:15.045)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (27:36.95)
So yeah, that was really cool. So that's it. Easy done. All said Rob, we're going to, we're not going to go overtime now. We've got, I got a, you've got a couple of minutes spare. Did you want anything else you want to say before we finish up?

Rob (27:41.533)
So we made it. I don't know, after.

Oh man, I got a song and dance every single time. You know how that goes. No, from this weekend, you know, it was all fast paced and we had a great time, but a big thank you to the players that made the trip to Florida in order to make that a mega event. We do realize that everyone around the world can't make it. You know, you can't fly and travel to every single event. It is always nice to see people that have done that, but...

Seemyshell (27:51.301)
Hahaha

Mm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (28:02.139)
Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (28:08.783)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Rob (28:17.541)
The bit those big events don't happen without the whole world finding them and deploying at them as well. So the number of people that were represented there would have been in the hundreds easily. Several hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, you know, type of thing that of people that had deployed. So to the people who flooded the map with cards, we thank you. You gave us something to do. You gave us too much to do, some might say. Yeah.

Seemyshell (28:18.09)
but those big events don't happen without the whole world. Yeah. Exactly. The number of people that were represented there would have been in the hundreds. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Seemyshell (28:36.271)
Yeah. Yes.

Seemyshell (28:45.134)
Too much. We left our pieces of food on the table, so to speak, on the plate. We didn't cap them all, Rob. It's a different game. We didn't cap them all. I promised I'd try. Oh, I tried. I tried.

Rob (28:52.317)
Yeah, I promise I tried so I yeah, I used everything that I could to get everything but yeah, we had a great time and again, thanks to you and Josh for coming along and the documentation that's provided you know, through both your social media channels and their links to all of our stuff on the through the show notes.
