Craig (00:01.43)
Welcome to the Official Munzee podcast.

Rob (00:03.566)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:07.368)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell. I started out as an avid Munzee player, now proudly part of the team.

Rob (00:12.846)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, divulge some secrets, and inform players from around the world just what is coming your way!

Craig (00:19.906)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode we chat about we, I am the champion, my friends. I can't sing for the life of me. The SMS, the SMS crew team, we are the champions, We are the champions. If you didn't know, if you hadn't heard about it, then yes, yes, SMS crew beat the Rob Rebellion. What were we, Rob? I can't remember that. Squad, SMS squad.

Rob (00:27.216)
Not the champion, my friend.

Rob (00:48.302)
You were the squad and I was the republic, yes.

Craig (00:49.358)
We were the squad and you were the Republic. I wasn't going say the rebellion, but you know, same, same, but different. So yes, a good congratulations and a big shout out to all the SMS squad members. Even those of you who are on the fence and had both, that's okay. Yeah. Yes. Thank you, sir.

Rob (00:53.306)
down basically.

Rob (01:05.528)
Yeah, so and from me as well, the leader of the Rob Republic. Congratulations to the SMS squad that thankfully. So here's the deal. Thankfully, you just went ahead and got that out of the way to start today because man, like what are we going to do? Just wait. Nope. That's got to be the first thing. So yes, congratulations. You led your team. Well, you know, no one else has come in and done this to me. So

Craig (01:19.132)
Hahaha.

Craig (01:24.436)
Nope. No. Of course. Of course.

Craig (01:29.742)
Thank you, sir.

Rob (01:33.904)
I'm not so sure about the longevity of your career. However, maybe you'll make it to number one on the team at some point in time. Maybe you won't, who knows? I have all kinds of ways of stopping you, don't I? No.

Craig (01:33.998)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:47.85)
you do, you do. But for those of you out there who are interested, Rob versus SMS, it was 1.367 million versus 1.38 million. So there's 13,000 points, only 13,000 points difference. So it was very close, Rob. And when we first discussed this, Rob versus SMS squad, and Sam was involved as well. Sam picked out, Sam did the math in his own brain.

Rob (02:02.874)
Yeah.

Rob (02:16.528)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (02:16.622)
And I know he listens to this episode and you know, he's going to correct us in some way like he did last week for you. Um, Sam did the math in his own brain and thought, okay, how am going to do this and represent the points? So it can be equal enough overall. So that included the POI, it included all the flat, all the flat robs that were out there already with the limited amount of flat Aussies, for instance, you know, and then he made up with the virtual colors, for instance, you know, it, it worked out really.

Rob (02:20.944)
Of course it will, yeah.

Craig (02:44.78)
really well and end up being really really close so well done Sam. shout out to Sam for his mathematical mind, mathematical genius mind.

Rob (02:52.204)
Absolutely. As we said last week, Dragons West, your MVP of the team 100 % because those cards at Geo Woodstock, that was more than 13,000 points difference. And you know that without those, you completely destroyed me in all of the blue virtuals versus the green virtuals, massive overwhelming numbers. The same thing on the Sapphires versus Emeralds, which we knew.

Craig (02:58.439)
yeah.

Craig (03:14.03)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (03:20.332)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (03:21.52)
would be the case. Emeralds are very limited. Sapphires are out there. yeah, and the flats, was my battle to win 100 % guaranteed. That was happening. Yeah. So it was a great time. We hope that everyone enjoyed it as much as the two of us did. We've had some fun battling it out in person and via text message. And now it's time to move on to what are we competing on next for me and you?

Craig (03:25.72)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (03:29.888)
yeah, hands down, hands down.

Craig (03:36.736)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (03:44.924)
Exactly, and you never know!

Well, you never know, you never know Rob, who else may be competing amongst the team later on down the track either. I'll just say that. We've chatted, we've chatted.

Rob (03:55.482)
We've chatted, right? We'll see. We'll see if anyone else is interested in stepping up. That's what it's really all about.

Craig (04:00.16)
Players, players enjoyed it. Players actually really enjoyed it, I do believe as well. But yes, Rob, you start talking about competition because Munzee is a very, know, competition heavy. It's very point heavy. We all love that, that healthy, fun competitiveness. Well, Rob, just so that you know, you're currently personally at 94.3 million points. Me personally, 90.5 million points. That means I'm only 3.8 million behind now. Rob, was only a few weeks ago, I was six.

million behind you now. Now I'm 3.8. So that means Rob, I've gained 500,000 points on you this week alone. So, so again, Rob, I'm going to put it out there. You know, I'm I'm not going to, I'm not going to put a pass to the team. don't think because we didn't say it yesterday in the, the, in the meeting. that is, I'm going to do a social post for myself to say,

Rob (04:39.694)
Yeah.

Craig (04:55.144)
Let me know when you think that I will pass Rob and I will do a competition of my own. Off my own bad Rob. What do you reckon? Do it. Do it. We don't need the team for that. We'll just do it ourselves. I'll just do it myself. That's it. and, and, I'm like you, Rob, it's better to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission sometimes. So.

Rob (05:02.682)
do it. Do it. Yeah.

Two-person committee, we've made the decision, move on. Done.

Rob (05:18.128)
100 % 100 % do it. Yeah

Craig (05:21.888)
Alright Rob, what have you been then doing for the last week apart from not much by the looks of the points?

Rob (05:28.174)
Well, you're very funny. I went out for a nice long walk this morning and got a bunch of physicals. So, you know, that's helped me out today. I'm getting ready for the England events that are happening on the South Coast this weekend. And by the time people are listening to this, like if you don't have cards at that event or any of the others, there are 21 events worldwide this weekend. If you don't have your cards out.

Craig (05:35.318)
Nice. Yeah.

Craig (05:41.492)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (05:53.012)
Mmm, there's a lot.

Rob (05:56.184)
What exactly have you been doing? There are going to be 70 plus attendees according to the calendar in England. And I know that you are going to events as well, that there's going to be good numbers there. Just not quite 70 plus. So anyway, don't forget everyone. Yeah, exactly. If if a map is completely overrun with cards and you're placing the cards on the outside fringe like way out there, don't expect

Craig (06:03.022)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Half that, half that.

Craig (06:23.84)
Mmm.

Rob (06:25.712)
70 plus caps, right? Everyone remember that, which is where you've got to weigh out. Can you get closer on an event that has 30 or can you get closer on an event that has 15 as opposed to being a mile away with 70? Just the thought. So that's what I've been doing. I'm putting together the, the traveling personal book, the one that used to travel with space coast and the one that was at image queue.

Craig (06:26.976)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (06:36.056)
Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Craig (06:43.382)
Yeah, that is a good thought. is...

Craig (06:53.034)
Yes, Mm-hmm.

Rob (06:55.636)
yeah, those are going to travel with me to the south coast. I'm pretty sure I've got it fixed and everything's going to go well. And that's going to make all of these players, hopefully very happy. I'm hoping. Yeah.

Craig (06:59.211)
Wow.

Craig (07:08.782)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, because they can sit there with the book open talk and cap cap cap cap cap cap cap all the personals all the personals very cool very cool Meanwhile Rob the events from last weekend We had none in the USA and only one in Auckland, New Zealand, but the leaderboards themselves surprised me Friday surprised me Rob we had tofu girl on 916 thousand points

Rob (07:13.552)
I think so.

Rob (07:29.712)
Hmm.

Craig (07:34.478)
on in between clan wars in between clan wars and she's still getting 916,000 points. Um, and then the second to that as well was Vatotech. Vatotech was on 769,000 points and then relatively in third place back to normal points was Munzee Prof and he had 199,000 points. yes, I don't know what Tofu Girl and Vatotech were doing. They're just having a bit of a smash fest I do believe. mm hmm.

Rob (07:40.687)
Right.

Rob (07:59.588)
I'm wondering if some of these high scores for the Friday Saturday, that was the very end of the Rob versus SMS competition. So I'll just throw that one out there that there may have been some extra push on things like that. I don't know. Haven't talked to either one of them. But yeah, yeah, huge scores. Very big.

Craig (08:04.664)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (08:09.044)
it could have been. It could have been.

Craig (08:14.872)
Possibly, possibly, possibly. Yeah, yeah. And then on Saturday, Rob, what do we have on Saturday?

Rob (08:21.872)
Rakuchi at 337,000. Sorry for name wrong. Enzy Kiwi, 240,000 and Munzee Prof, 177,000.

Craig (08:25.804)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (08:33.006)
And then on Sunday we had Colecracker7 on 179,000 points, Jack Sparrow, 170,000 points. And once again in third place this time for a trifecta for the weekend, Munzeeproff with 168,000 points. Again, I've said it before, Rob, people would look and go, know, how does Munzeeproff, for instance, have leaderboard stats all the way through the whole weekend? No, he doesn't live in a land full of magical Munzees. He's got cap on points up the wazoo, Rob.

You know what mean? And deploy points. So there's always two parts to this game. It's not just what you can cap. It's where you can deploy and get your cap on points as well. that's that for there. Rob events this weekend. You said we have a lot and we do have a lot this weekend. We have three in Ohio, which is where I am and where I'll be as well. So make sure you deploy for Ohio to try and get me closer to Rob. We also have Florida, Missouri, California, Minnesota and, and

come back again. see that people in USA don't think that Rhode Island exists but it does see there it is Rhode Island. Around the world Rob we have

Rob (09:40.304)
turns out it's there. Well, we got one in British Columbia and one in Ontario, Canada. Five in England, get your cards in Finland, Netherlands and two in Denmark. And we've also got Japan in Singapore. Got an event in Singapore. Yeah.

Craig (09:56.814)
Wow, wow, that's really cool. And yeah, don't forget as well, the Japan ones are with our good friends from the Munzee Maniacs podcast. So that's pretty cool too. So they'll be there. PJ and Sarah will be there at the Japan one too. And they are always about education. And so they'll have, they'll hopefully have new players there as well.

Rob (10:15.066)
Nice.

Craig (10:21.058)
Let's get some cards out on all the events as many as you can. And there was a good point by Rob and that is rather than look at the fringe of huge events where you're only gonna get a handful of cap ons because not everyone at these events has all the boosters Rob. They don't have all the blasts Rob. Everyone's gonna get cramps in their, in RSI in their thumbs. Let's be honest. So not everyone's gonna have all that sort of stuff. So they can only, only can cap what they can cap. So have a look at all the other events as well. Good point.

Big events throughout this weekend, as I before, Rob, the 7th and 8th, Ohio, Hostie SOS, and then the five on the South Coast of England, July 11th to 13th, four events in Western New York, Munzee Marathon up there as well. On the same weekend, five events again in the Netherlands. September, Rob, 12 to 14, we have four events over three days of Munzee, Mayenia, and Minnesota. January 16th, 18th, Munzee Mecca in Florida, and March 6th and 7th, Munzee Madness back in Southern California.

So if you're hosting a big event, did look through the calendar. There's no other big events that looking at the moment. If you are hosting one, reach out to me and we'll go from there. Meanwhile, Rob, we've got to get now onto this, the full episode because we've got a lot, a lot to talk about, a lot to talk about. Firstly and foremost, let's just talk about the double points. Just get that over and done with quickly. Double points from today, Friday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, double points on cards, flats, mysteries, scatters as well. So don't forget those scatter points are doubled as well.

Rob (11:29.539)
Yep.

Rob (11:44.514)
And temp virtuals as well. That's not on there, but they are. Yeah.

Craig (11:45.742)
and temp virtuals as well. right. That's not a temp virtuals too. Exactly. So get those in their cards, flats. Oh Rob, Rob, I just thought about it. Cause we've got the dual scatters at the moment on the flats on Murray and the flat cats. You can get double points on the flats on the flat cats and the flat Murray's and then get double points on their scatters as well. Rob, Rob.

Rob (12:06.766)
It's crazy, right? You could deploy for double points. Another person could cap it for double points. You would get double cap on points for that. They get points, double points for the scatters. And I believe there are cap on points for the scatters as well, which means that both the capper and the deployer have an opportunity for double points on two separate things. Like that's crazy. I don't know if we've done something quite like that before. Good luck.

Craig (12:10.681)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:21.134)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:25.14)
Wow.

Craig (12:33.868)
That's crazy. No, don't think it's, it hasn't worked in that way. I don't believe so. But let's talk about the dual scatters at the moment. We're talking about cats and dogs. It's raining cats and dogs in different places, especially in Australia, unfortunately, they're having floods. But anyway, from Tuesday, June 3rd, so it's already started, through to Sunday, June 8th, we have the flat Murrays and the flat cats as well. The flat Murrays can scatter up to three different dog toys. The flat cats can scatter up to three different cat toys.

Rob (12:48.26)
Yikes.

Craig (13:03.694)
Up to so you could do one two or three they're all various now There are very very very very cute badges to earn Rob in regards to this too because everyone loves their cats everyone loves their dogs and Murray I will say Murray's a very cute pup. So Yeah He is No, no he's not

Rob (13:18.126)
Yes, he's a corgi. He is definitely not a pup because he is not young. However, yeah, he's he's he's quite a cute dog. And so are Mari's cats. So for those who like the cats, cool. Go get all those badges. The badges themselves are the same scatter badges that are always available. So if you've never got them in the past and they are back available now, there is one special badge.

Craig (13:31.828)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (13:40.451)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (13:44.238)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (13:46.51)
which is the reigning cats and dogs badge. And to those of you in Australia and everywhere else, I hope that you don't step in a poodle since it is in fact raining cats and dogs, but a bunch anyway. the, you said it and I was like, Ooh, I gotta throw that in there. I beat you to it. yeah. So get the badge. is, available only, through Sunday. This is that limited time badge and you have to cap.

Craig (13:57.678)
geez, Rob. That's my job. You just taking over my job now. See? I like it. I like it.

Craig (14:13.204)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Rob (14:15.6)
one of each of the scatters. So three dog scatters and three separate cat scatters. All of them. Yep.

Craig (14:21.108)
scatters as well. Or all the different types. You don't have to do six scatters, general scatters. You do one of each type to get those badges from there. Rob, and if you don't have any of these flats around you, then get some from the store. At the moment you've got buy two, get one free, which is the stock standard at the moment. You must have groups of three in your cart and then you will only pay for two. So you must order three, six, nine.

I'm not going to do any more math, but you have to order in groups of three and you it'll get automatically come off There's no no other code required It'll automatically come off on checkout from there and what you do then Rob is you purchase those themselves and then you talk to your other clan members and say How about I'll do one for you you do one for me blah blah blah and you swap and swap away if you don't have a clan Get on the water cooler and say that the water cooler. I've got

So many flat cats, so many flat Murrays who wants to do some swaps. There's going to people out there who want to do swaps as well. So if you're, if you're not going anywhere, if you're not in an area, if you don't have any around you, then you can still play Rob. You can still get it done. Work smarter Rob, not harder. So exactly, exactly.

Rob (15:27.128)
I agree. It's always a good idea. Facebook, Munzey Water Cooler or Discord. That's the other thing as well.

Craig (15:32.114)
Mm-hmm. Yes, the discords as well. Exactly. I always forget about discord Rob for some reason. It's a younger thing. That's why I do believe but anyway Rob alongside this as well. You we've now got the new greeting cards have come out as well And these greeting cards very very cute indeed

Rob (15:36.644)
Yeah.

Rob (15:49.4)
Well, of course they are. mean, hey, people want cats. Hey, you get cats. Here's some more cats and cats and cats and cats and cats cats, dogs and cats and dogs and cats. Yes. So, so many. There was a little bit of an issue when they launched, but the issue was fixed. And any of the people who, oops, things didn't get delivered quite like they were supposed to. We did get a couple of tickets and those were fixed. So.

Craig (15:56.15)
And dogs, and dogs here as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Craig (16:06.467)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (16:14.594)
Mm-hmm.

Perfect.

Rob (16:17.934)
those of you who didn't notice, you do have your cards, no worries.

Craig (16:20.812)
Yep, yep, that's pretty cool, that's pretty cool. Otherwise, they're still available itself and also everything's still available in the store up until Sunday, I do believe. Is that correct, Rob, I do believe? Exactly. Meanwhile, Rob, a new month comes out and of course, a new Muns Packs comes out with the pack rats as well. If you're new to Munsy, Rob, tell us about the Muns Packs. It's a monthly subscription.

Rob (16:30.02)
I think so. I don't remember.

Rob (16:40.527)
Yeah.

Rob (16:45.584)
Months pack is a monthly subscription that is $20 if you subscribe for the hybrid, which gives you 25 generic stickers and then a rotating selection of credits and virtual types. Then the virtual one is $25. It is all virtual products. And again, rotates this month and well, each month we're putting in a new pack rat.

which the pack rats are lots of fun, cool little art. This one is the conductive pack rat and it is available in the redeem store. It wasn't until earlier when I noticed it wasn't in there. So for those people who own one, you can rebuild that with the twigs. It's a fun little game within a game. I suppose the pack rats go out, they bring back cogs, they're rebuilt through twigs. It's all built into the widows.

Craig (17:19.107)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (17:40.694)
and the Max. So just kind of a circle of life. This one is like I said, the conductive pack rat and so sort of an electricity one reminds me sort of like of Frankenstein's monster building. So you know,

Craig (17:59.753)
Well, all the pack rats, they're built around careers, that sort of thing too. So there's the mechanic pack right out there. So the conductive one is more like an electrician. And did you know, as an electrician, if you're an electrician in Australia, technically your class is a tradie, because everyone's a tradie, like a tradesperson's class is a tradie. But if you're an actual electrician, guess what they call you, They call you a sparky.

Rob (18:04.879)
Yeah.

Rob (18:16.398)
Hmm. Okay.

Rob (18:25.648)
nice. I wasn't sure if you were setting up a joke or if that was gonna be legit. That was legit, I'm impressed.

Craig (18:26.446)
so you're a sparky. So there you go. Anyway, the pack rats.

No, no, I'm being serious. That's legit, legit serious. But the Packrats themselves are, they are a limited time bouncer, so they do bounce around the map for a period of time, giving you cap on points before they go away and they deliver you cogs, which then you can rebuild mechs with from the cogs too. So I do like the circle of life, Rob, I really do. So there you go. Meanwhile, Rob, we're gonna move on now to the new universals. These came out last week as well. They were the Rob versus SMS universals themselves.

You can still purchase these. These are normal universals. And what the universals are, Rob, actually, you what you discussed? Tell us what universals are. You tell us.

Rob (19:07.352)
It's like it's a combination of a social Munzee and a personal Munzee. So a social Munzee can be capped anywhere around the world. There are no points associated with that. It was the very first Munzee that we built that was sort of like, hey, this is a name tag. People immediately started putting them online. We thought they might use them like a name tag. So people would use them and know, hey, I met you. Instead, it was an online meeting. So we then made personal Munzees so that people could

use those at events and get points. have a smaller radius, so it's not available for people to cap online. And then came the universal. The universal is a merger of those two. is available to be capped worldwide. Cuppa Z has an excellent universal capper. If you've never used it, now is a good time. we get one or both of these universals. It's everyone's choice. They were part of the end of the

Craig (19:55.502)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (20:06.138)
the competition. So they don't count for those points anymore. Obviously that's over. yeah, still available for a limited time. They will not be coming back to my knowledge. So yeah, this is your chance.

Craig (20:17.536)
Nope. And very much like the other universals that are out there as well, Rob, you know, I've got several of them myself. And yeah, you definitely need to put them on Cuppa Z. Now, when I say put them on Cuppa Z, I've got a tutorial out there on my YouTube channel, Rob, as well. And if you can't find it, then private message me and I will give you the link. And it shows you how to add these to your Cuppa Z. Sam's made it extremely easy when you go into the universal section and then it says, I like,

add my universals and it shows you which ones are already added on there. It shows you which ones aren't. And so you click add mine and then it just adds it automatically. So, and people can sit at home, Rob, and then cap it with you. use an iPad. So I've got my iPad. I've got a couple of them on my iPad. The universal is showing the best part about it, Rob is when you get your phone and you cap it, the couple of they automatically realize that you're capping it from your account and your accounts logged into the, uh, the iPad.

So it just switches, it flicks over to the next, flicks to the next, flicks to the next, automatically flicks to the next.

Rob (21:14.924)
impressive.

Sam built that before he was even part of the team. Maybe that's one of the main reasons that he is part of the team. Like that's an impressive tool. Very cool.

Craig (21:21.678)
That's right. It really was. Again, shout out to Sam, mate. Great job, buddy. Great job. If you haven't got your new university yet, yeah, you can get them for a limited time only in the store itself. Rob, moving on now to the Munzee Monthly Moments for June is now out. And all it is is if you haven't done the Munzee Monthly Moment video before, every single entry, Rob gets a card. Every single entry, every single entry gets a badge.

You know, so if you badge hands out, badge hounds out there who want to collect badges, if you want to keep up that leaderboard, like I know Eagle Dad and Xenia, then, then yeah, you've got to get in your Munzee monthly moment video. And this month's video, Rob, all you need to do is cap a physical Munzee while you're exploring a new place, a new place for you to explore or deploy, you know, if there's none around, you can deploy as well too. So get your, get yours in. Yes.

Rob (22:13.622)
Hey, do you remember the name of the winner from last month because that video was very funny. It was about running late and

Craig (22:22.354)
SPD times two, SPD times two one. And he was dressed up as the Easter bunny in May because he was running late and he was still delivering Easter eggs in May. It was very good, very clever indeed. Yep.

Rob (22:25.135)
man, very fun.

Rob (22:36.644)
very funny. Everyone should at least go check these videos out because people are putting time in. mean, some people are putting two minutes in, but other people are putting in like hours worth of prep time and everything else. So yeah, lots of fun. Yeah.

Craig (22:41.421)
Yes.

Craig (22:47.638)
Yeah, exactly. Getting dressed up. That's right. That's right. And even the other two as well that came in second, equal second, they did a great job as well. So big shout out to them and everyone who puts in, as I said, everyone who puts in even a two second, not just a seven second, even a seven second video, Rob, it's still worth it. It's still worth it to me. I go through every single one of them. I enjoy every single one that comes through and yeah, I really.

I really like it. I comment on them as well and I give them a thumbs up if I can. Now, one other thing as well, I must have to mention that we can only take these now via YouTube and also TikTok. Instagram is now currently not able for us to take these. It's an Instagram issue when it comes to sharing. I don't know, Sam knows. I'm gonna, I'm not even gonna try. No, no, they're not available. No more Instagram, not available, Sam said so. That's what I'll say.

Rob (23:34.148)
Yeah. Don't, don't get corrected by Sam. Just say no more Instagram. Yeah.

Rob (23:43.224)
Yeah, best to do that.

Craig (23:44.0)
Very good. All right, get yours in now. Again, if you don't know what we're talking about, private message me, I'm happy to guide you through. Next up, Rob, we're gonna talk about this. this is brand new. This is brand new. The Transform Tonic.

Rob (23:55.184)
Yes.

Rob (23:59.758)
Yes, hopefully as people are listening right now, the transformed tonic has been released. So this is a new spell that people are able to get and probably going to be in packs in the store, probably going to be available via an app purchase today as we record. There's lots of probabilities. this, this, for those of you who have enjoyed the scatter burst serum,

Craig (24:06.318)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:17.282)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:21.943)
You

Rob (24:27.854)
which you put that one out and scatters come from that. They're virtual scatters. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Yes. So I can't remember how this works. With this one, the transform tonic, you're going to actually be able to cap that. And then the next greenie that you cap,

Craig (24:31.928)
Mm-hmm.

Scatter's come from the next one you cap.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I know.

Craig (24:47.734)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:57.358)
will be transformed into something else. And so I'm, I'm considering this one like the physical scatter spell, because the majority of the pool of options are things that scatter physicals. So let's say for example, fire, water, earth, those types of elemental mysteries.

Craig (25:01.377)
Mmm.

Craig (25:16.172)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:20.302)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (25:23.18)
then you've got, you've got like the joystick and a couple of those types of things. So I'm not going to list all of them scatter. but this would be a good weekend, obviously to use this, if scatters are going to be double points. there's also a small chance and that you could transform that greenie into a prize wheel, which would also then spin for a prize.

Craig (25:27.456)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:35.081)
Mm-hmm.

Very true.

Craig (25:46.094)
wow.

Rob (25:49.944)
So, thinking that this one should be a lot of fun, a little more valuable, because it's throwing those scatters. you also, after you, after you do transform something, you can then still cap the greenie that's underneath because it was, it was transformed. So hope everyone enjoys it.

Craig (25:53.824)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (26:04.909)
Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. don't forget as well, can still cap greenies every, if you're a premium member, cap your greenies every day, including your own as well. you, mean, the same thing happens as well, Rob, I do believe if you place a Transform Tonic somewhere else as well, your next greenie cap is also switched up as well in Transform 2. So it's not just for those who capping the Transform Tonics, it's those who are placing them as well. So if you're not in an area, for instance, and you've got other clan members and friends,

you can place your transformed tonic and then capigrini for your own possibility of a good transform as well. So very cool indeed. Transform tonic. I like that Rob, I like that. That's really cool. Again, part of those potions of plenty and scatter serums and the distance draft as well. So that goes all in the same grouping as that. Rob, we're going to have a chat now because we haven't got that much time left.

BVG, this came out Rob, this came out secretly. It slipped out in the filter section and they're called Bouncing Virtual Gardens. What can we say about Bouncing Virtual Gardens?

Rob (27:21.594)
We released it secretly. didn't slip out. So that's the good news there. We did a very private soft launch, very quiet and Matt Moo was the first person to post about it on the Munzee water cooler. So congrats, Matt. Well done. People are always watching all over the place. It's very interesting. It hadn't even been out half an hour. Anyway, I'm going to make this very quick because the

Craig (27:25.183)
you

Craig (27:33.517)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (27:42.936)
Mm-hmm.

you

Rob (27:51.074)
The chances that everything goes public with bouncing virtual gardens between now and when everyone's listening to this are probably 25%. So bouncing virtual gardens are coming soon. We hinted at this a couple of weeks ago when I specifically said like, man, I'm just bouncing from one thing to the next and all that. We're going to be testing this with.

Craig (27:59.106)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:08.994)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:14.701)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (28:19.404)
with some special moneys that are out around the world. It takes the entire garden and it bounces from one location to the next. There will be timers set, there will be a bouncing virtual garden. POI. There will be timers that you can see on that. So it will tell you it's going to be there for another three and half hours or whatever the time might be. The overall goal is for

Craig (28:28.419)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:34.37)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:39.009)
Yes.

Rob (28:47.47)
these bouncing virtual gardens to jump to events. So. It's going to place itself on top of event locations. It's another layer. Are people going to be able to build their own? No. So I'm just going to put that little question to rest. You won't be building your own. If we get to that point in the future, it will be in the future.

Craig (28:51.256)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (28:57.966)
So this is another layer again on top.

Mm-hmm. No, no, no, no. This is a Munzee-owned one.

Rob (29:12.976)
We will be testing this with staff accounts because I want to make sure that it works properly as opposed to putting these out for players to buy a spot in a bouncing virtual garden and then it not working like we want. So for now, that's all the information. We've got more coming soon. We might be testing it heavy this weekend at multiple events. We might not be.

Craig (29:17.184)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (29:25.031)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that makes sense.

Craig (29:34.072)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Rob (29:40.88)
Today, 25 % chance. And that's pretty fair.

Craig (29:45.386)
Yeah, exactly. I will say as well, that is these are these bouncing virtual gardens. They are all made of actual virtuals. And the reason for that is, well, Rob. What? Apart from the PLY.

Rob (29:55.549)
Uh-oh, I got to correct you because Sam will send us a message. They're not made of virtuals. They are made of, they're made of bouncing virtuals. It is a special new type. Yes.

Craig (30:03.98)
Bouncing virtual sorry bouncing bouncing virtual, but they're all blastable is what I was getting at and so the the very first testing bouncing virtual gardens is less than a hundred pins So you can actually get it all in one blast as well So if you're at a an event and this thing pops into your area pops into your event You don't you can just go around and hand cap it but remember it is on a timer So you can a possibility of just sitting there still and blasting away too. So very very cool

Rob (30:09.124)
There you are.

Rob (30:31.962)
There's one final piece of quiet information. There's a badge available. If you cap all the pins in the bouncing virtual garden, there's a badge available for it. Shh. Again, we're testing this right now and we want to make sure it works properly. This is all the information of what is supposed to happen. Let's hope the tests go well. Fingers crossed.

Craig (30:34.486)
Yes. Yes.

wow! Wow! Badgehounds, there you go! Wow! Wow! Wow! Very good!

Ha ha.

Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, Rob, we're moving on now to the Munzee question of the week, and this one here is from Anonymous, and they all said, is there any hints towards the birthday month celebrations?

Rob (31:04.766)
my goodness. Well, one birthday events are happening. Same today as we record. We have not released the birthday event information, but it is coming soon. I've been told I again, fingers crossed that it happens before Friday. We're here's what I can tell everyone. We're bringing back ingredients. The ingredients from last birthday are coming back, but there's going to be a twist. There's going to be well.

Craig (31:09.442)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. No. Yep.

Craig (31:20.536)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (31:28.22)
Ohhhh... Yes.

Rob (31:34.064)
I don't know. Maybe it's going to get hot. That's what I think. I think I should say it's going to get hot in July, even down under. All right. So going to be a good time. if everyone enjoyed the team battle that we just did, I think that, man, I just, I don't know. I don't think we should say anymore. That's we're just going to just going to vague it out.

Craig (31:38.222)
That's it. Spicy. Fair enough. Fair enough.

Craig (31:51.086)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (31:59.342)
No, I don't think you should either. I'll just leave it there. Just say, yes, yes, there's more things coming to the birthday month. That's all we need to say. Rob, I'm gonna end it now with a Munzee tip of the week and we're talking, I'm talking about the Evo Bounces. Now, Evo Bouncer points are required for Clan Wars. Some people are getting confused, Rob, and they're capping Evos by themselves and they're saying they're not counting. No, because they're Evo Bouncer points.

It is time to get your resets and quick grows moving to get these bouncing EVOs out and about. Again, Rob, if you don't understand what I'm talking about, I do have tutorials on YouTube as well. Again, reach out to me and I'll send you the link to how to get your EVOs bouncing or at least reset, at least reset so they bounce in the future. that's.

Rob (32:47.172)
That's the quickest and easiest way to do it. And for those who are confused about these, all you have to do is just tap on the little button in the app, or you go onto cup of the, and you look, the requirements are spelled out very, very nicely, by Sam and by the rest of the team. They're, they're easy. It gives you the examples of what things to cap. it's also written clearly in the blog, just so you know.

Craig (32:50.434)
Thanks,

Craig (33:01.89)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (33:11.086)
