Craig (00:01.046)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.678)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Craig (00:08.062)
And I'm Craig also known as Seemyshell I started as an avid Munzee player now proud to part of the team.

Rob (00:13.844)
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 (00:21.154)
So sit back, relax. Rob today, it's light on the content today, Rob. I'll say that because not much is happening right now. Like new stuff is happening. There's a couple of brand new things happening, there's, we'll just say there's a buildup occurring. It's like a, it's like a backlog that's going to come in a big wave at some point in time. But, but yeah, not much on today, man. Not much on today. Did I say, did I say too much?

Rob (00:41.311)
Wow. That is true. And that kind of fits into what I've been up to is not much public information currently is what I've been up to. How about you? Yeah, that's that what I should say. But don't worry, everyone. I know what you're thinking. I've still got 29 minutes left in my drive. I love to listen to you guys for a full half hour. We will fill the time. We always do.

Craig (00:47.607)
Yeah.

No, I know.

Craig (00:57.058)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (01:03.405)
Yeah.

Craig (01:06.83)
We always do. actually, think it was the other day, or the other day, the other episode we did where we thought the same thing. thought, well, this is, aren't going to feel it here. We ended up going over time as always too. So that's what happens. That's what happens sometimes. What have you been up to Rob?

Rob (01:18.092)
You know

Well, in the Munzee world, am playing some Munzee. I'm getting those clan requirements done. I'm, yeah, yeah, yeah. As the level approaches, then I'm making it happen. you know, some of these days, a bit slower than others. But otherwise, yeah, just really just kind of enjoying

Craig (01:25.665)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

just on the day at some point in time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (01:51.588)
some of the pacing that the team is working out for some cool stuff that is headed everyone's way. And today is not the day to unveil all of it. Will next Wednesday when we record next Friday for everyone, when you hear it, will that be the day? I don't know. don't have my calendar in front of me, so I'm not sure. I can't remember which days, which things come out soon.

Craig (01:54.079)
Mm-hmm. Yes.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (02:11.116)
Maybe. I will say, I'll let everyone know as everyone knows, Rob, myself and Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy. We are in a clan together. And when Rob says that he gets the clan wars requirements done on the day that requires them, then yes, he does. Does he do it later than normal? Yes, he does. I mean,

Rob (02:35.649)
course.

Craig (02:37.496)
Plenty of years, Rob, that you're ahead because you're over in England. So you're ahead of Tim and myself because Tim and myself, we are actually at MHQ time. So when we wake up in a morning, you know, say seven o'clock in the morning, we wake up. Then there's been seven hours of, gameplay for that day. We wake up, we both kept our Skylands or whatever else as well. We walk out to the, the letterbox and kept the tree house and do all the, do all the things that we do. When we first wake up, we have a look and think, well, maybe the clan wars is done now because we,

fulfill the streak, no, Rob has still yet to play the game today.

Rob (03:12.266)
I mean, there's only been 13 hours in the playing day by the time you guys are up for, you know, my time, actually not 13 hours. It's still the same seven hours. It's just that it's 1pm. I probably should have pushed a few buttons by then, but the buttons that I've been pushing are not necessarily always in the Munzee app. Yeah.

Craig (03:23.884)
Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (03:32.846)
This is true. This is true. Um, although Rob, you did message me the other day and you said, said, Craig, what's going on? Cause I hadn't actually completed the requirements and it was for the, um, uh, what do you call it? The crates as well. So I hadn't actually filled the crates. And so I messaged you back saying, now you know how it feels. so there you go. That exactly, exactly. And, I'll be honest with you. I did actually like the fact that the crates are a little bit earlier.

Rob (03:42.976)
Mm-hmm. Great. Yeah.

Rob (03:51.166)
Exactly. When you gotta sit there and wait for somebody. Waiting online. That's when some, you gotta wait on someone.

Craig (04:02.983)
in the clan wars this month as well. for that, to literally make me get outside and walk. you know, and that's what it did. And I was happy with that actually, believe it or not. even though put a little bit of pressure on me, I was happy. It's like anything, Robin, you use some exercise to get out there and do the exercise. You're like, and then when you do it, you're like, you know, it's very different, very different. So, but anyway, speaking of speaking of speaking of exercise as well, I'm actually doing a lot of exercise.

Rob (04:24.672)
I agree. I agree. doing that on the mic. Yeah.

Craig (04:32.221)
rent free in someone's mind, Rob, because I listened, I listened to the Munzee Maniacs podcast. They've got a new one after two months of silence. they've got a new one out and all I'll say is that PJ, you're welcome. I don't think about you at any point in time in my day, but I'm glad you think about me at every point in your day. there you go.

Rob (04:34.66)
really?

Rob (04:53.834)
Wow, an interesting comment right there. And I think that means that some of us, not everyone, but some people will probably be tuning in to find out what on earth does that mean. Yeah. Check it out.

Craig (05:06.195)
Absolutely. If you don't, if you don't listen, if you don't listen to the Munzee Maniacs podcast and you listen to this one, suggest you go and take a listen to the Munzee Maniacs podcast. It is actually a good, 99.9 % of the time. So when PJ is not talking, anyway, he's going to have, he's going to have a, he's going to have a field day with that comment. Anyway, Rob, the other thing I've been doing, not Munzee related though is, is the, the homestead now I'm building myself a little homestead area here in Alabama.

Rob (05:18.791)
Hahaha.

Rob (05:22.548)
Rob (05:26.358)
Yeah.

Craig (05:36.064)
It's called Shelby Homestead. There's a new YouTube channel on, well, rebranded, should say, YouTube channel out there called Shelby Homestead YouTube channel. we got a rooster now as well. So, yeah, we were slowly going to be introducing a brand new rooster to the flock of ladies. so there you go. Yeah. Yeah. New websites coming out and the YouTube channel, making some hot sauce to sell that a farm stand. yeah. Things are happening, Rob here. So there you go.

Rob (05:47.436)
Ooh.

Rob (05:53.631)
Okay.

Rob (06:03.946)
Wow, yikes. Okay, yeah, another thing that go check it out.

Craig (06:05.643)
There you go. I know. I know.

Yeah, exactly. Links in the description. Rob, the events though from last weekend, we had Nebraska. Nebraska? No. It is? I was right. Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota, California, Missouri, Florida, and New Hampshire, and around the world,

Rob (06:14.156)
Hey, there you go.

Rob (06:19.084)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (06:27.53)
We had four in Canada, three were in British Columbia and one in Ontario, England, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland and Victoria, Australia.

Craig (06:39.533)
And the leaderboards over the weekend, some new names on these leaderboards, which was really good to see too. On Friday, had Moppet 85 with 656,000 points, followed by DJ AJ Bros on 599,000 points. And then Burner 1 on 582,000 points. I wonder where they are from.

Now the, yeah, there we go. There must've been somewhere capping around. that's, that's what it is. On Saturday, mate, we had some millionaires.

Rob (07:02.7)
Actually, I'm not sure.

Rob (07:10.668)
Hey millionaires millionaires actually to round out Saturday and Sunday. So congrats to these people and let's hear them finder 400 with 1.2 million Herbie 1.1 million Dragons West with 1.1 million and in fourth an extra one Q 22 Q 17 1 million points.

Craig (07:16.365)
Mmm.

Craig (07:34.56)
It's okay, Brenda. She got a millionaire again on the seventh Sunday. So I'll say your name correctly. On Sunday in first place, Dragon's West with 1.4 million points followed by FRLK 1.3 million points. In third place, had Zandmata with 1.2 million points and rounding out the millionaires for Sunday, we had Q22Q17 with 1 million points. There you go. That's how you say Brenda's

Rob (08:04.161)
if you say so. Alrighty.

Craig (08:05.069)
You like that? Yeah. Yeah. The only other person that I say their name any different than anyone else is Brandy Corte from Texas. and the reason why I say her name the now is because, you know, Rob, she changed her Munzee name to represent how I say it. So I like it. like Brandy Corte.

Rob (08:23.148)
She's a fun one. Well done. Thanks for feeding him, Brandy.

Craig (08:33.933)
Anyway, Rob, the current events this weekend, we're very light on the events, which is surprising to me because I thought to myself people may need the actual plan war requirements. It just means Rob that I'm going to have to pump them up for next month. Anyway, in the USA, we had Kansas, Alabama, Ohio, and North Carolina and around the world, mate, only two.

Rob (08:46.038)
Yeah.

Rob (08:54.902)
Denmark and Germany last weekend there were 20 so we packed weekend and yeah bit lighter the rest of

Craig (08:57.185)
There you go. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's what it might've been. That's what it might've been. Anyway, big events coming up May 23rd, coexisting with Geo Woodstock. June 5th, 6th and 7th is the South Coast Mega Event. Six events in Poole, Southern England. Over 50 will attend there so far, including Sam from the team and also the number one and two players in the world, Colecracker7 and W Helen will be there as well at South Coast Mega in Poole, Southern England.

In July 10, 11, 12 over in the Netherlands, you've got a few events over there as well. I'm going to have to research those. Uh, Ohio, July 23rd to 24 is Munzee at Midwest Geobash. There's two events there with the co-existers. Uh, September 18 to 20 Munzee, Munzee in Minnesota. No, there's, they'll love that. Uh, that's up obviously up in Minnesota as well. So make sure you your backside to that one. I will say Rob, um,

Rob (09:46.132)
Hmm.

Craig (09:53.326)
quality, quality time of the year for Minnesota. There's no mud anymore. There's, know what I mean? Like this nice sunshine, beautiful. We don't normally talk about the weather itself, but I will say the weather has a lot to do with our Munzee play, getting outside, especially at events. And so I'll say this, that the weather there in Minnesota in September, 18 to 20, get your butts there because it is beautiful.

Rob (10:17.472)
Yeah.

Craig (10:17.773)
November six, seven, eight Muncie in Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas. Muncie Mirage. So Muncie Mirage in Las Vegas. We had a little bit of a, I had a little bit of back backlash Rob, because I said about how international play. I remember the other, when we announced it, I said international players would love it. know, come over and say that I had some backlash people saying, you know, Oh, there's plenty of other places in the USA that, that better off for the international players than just Las Vegas. I'm like, well, that's because you had.

Rob (10:23.85)
Woohoo!

Rob (10:31.702)
What?

Rob (10:37.537)
Yeah.

Rob (10:45.238)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, Sam said that Louise agreed. Yeah, there's yeah Yeah, whoops

Craig (10:48.141)
Yep. Yep. There is, there is, but, but, but, but, mean, of course there's the big apple, New York city, there's LA, you know, all these other places as well. Even Florida, for instance, as well, a of people, international players come from Florida for Disneyland and things like that. But you know, we're talking, we're talking our generation of age brackets, Rob, know, the Las Vegas where we can all go in and see Sam can't partake in a beverage over here.

You know what mean? Can he? He can now? He's 21?

Rob (11:17.772)
Um, actually, actually he can. Yeah. He's, he's over 21. Yeah.

Craig (11:24.237)
Oh, well then he can, but I thought to myself, maybe he, can't, that's the reason why he didn't want to, cause he can't partake in a beverage over here cause he's got 21. It's 18 in the rest of the world, but anyway, um.

Rob (11:34.252)
I think it was, it was just the grand, you, everyone wants to type of a presentation mode that, you went into for the very first time you said it. But you know, now we just sing about it and we've toned it down a touch. We still talk about it obviously quite a bit. But yeah, conversations within the team, conversations with Mirage hosts and yeah, hopefully.

Craig (11:41.515)
Yeah. is that what it is?

Craig (11:49.165)
I

Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (11:58.19)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (12:02.007)
Correct.

Rob (12:03.296)
Hopefully it'll be something that we, we get a good group of people to attend and have a good time.

Craig (12:10.057)
Exactly. November six, seven, eight is in Las Vegas. Otherwise than the last one, rounding out January 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, that's right, four days, five events, Munzey Mecca in Florida, Flow Rider. Again, again, Rob, perfect time for Munzey, outdoor Munzey play there in Florida in January. If you're getting snowed under in Minnesota, which you would be, then come down to Florida and put on your shorts and your shirt and...

Rob (12:23.563)
Yeah.

Craig (12:37.857)
get outside and play some Munzee and enjoy the weather and the temperature and the, you know, things like that as well. know, I know Joshua, the points to, of course the points, but I someone like Joshua, the GFK vlog where when he goes places like, cause he's from Minnesota. He loves to, he's always going to dip his toes in the ocean, whichever ocean he's at. He's always got to dip the toes in the ocean. So yeah, yeah, exactly. All right. If you're a host of a growing event, reach out to me. And if I haven't noticed it yet and we'll, we'll talk in discussions. Meanwhile, Rob's.

Rob (12:44.748)
points.

Rob (12:58.54)
Yep. There you go.

Craig (13:07.371)
Rob's Rob Rob things that are happening this week might currently happening as we speak up until the 19th is what

Rob (13:16.16)
You know what? This explains something that happened to me yesterday. It's double mini cubimals inside crates. I opened that next crate and I was like, I got two. And I decided I'm not going to complain. I'm not going to ask anyone. There's probably a reason. Little did I know, just waiting until reading it on the podcast, I would go, yeah, that's why. Very good. So, so there you go. Yeah.

Craig (13:17.687)
Mm-hmm.

hahahaha

Yeah.

Craig (13:31.721)
Yeah

Craig (13:40.782)
wow. Wow. See, it goes to again, Rob, you're also the same as every other player out there. If something happens in the app, that's to your advantage, you don't say a word. You'd be quiet about it. If something was to happen that's to your disadvantage, and they start complaining and they put support tickets everywhere. But if it's to your advantage, people don't say anything. It's life in general. It's not just Munzee. It's life in general, you know,

Rob (13:54.784)
That's...

Rob (14:04.532)
I correct. There is that.

Craig (14:07.053)
90 % of the time, if you get extra change, for instance, than what you should at a convenience store, you don't say anything. You just walk out with the extra money and go, know, those sort of types. But anyway, exactly.

Rob (14:17.024)
Yeah, depends on the person, depends on the situation, depends on what extra you get in that moment. Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (14:24.179)
Mm-hmm. Exactly. And I will say one more thing, and I've said this twice already to the same player. He knows who I'm talking about. I won't mention his name. But with these double mini cubimals inside crates themselves, don't need, unlike Clan Wars where you need to actually obtain the crate during the Clan Wars, this one here, you can have an old crate before the event starts and that when you open it up in the 13th to the 19th, you get double. So you don't need to obtain the crate within that period timeframe.

Rob (14:42.678)
All right.

Craig (14:53.739)
And yeah, I've told him twice now because we've only done this twice, the double cubeness. So yeah.

Rob (14:57.226)
Yeah, we magically cram another cubicle in there right before you open it. I don't understand the magic behind it, but you know what? It works. So we're good.

Craig (15:02.121)
Exactly.

Craig (15:07.071)
It happens. That's right. Exactly. It's to your benefit. So you don't, you don't worry about it. Meanwhile, Rob may 20, 26 bonus events have been released. You know, these bonuses, people love it, Rob, when the bonus events for the following month, they're handed out before the clan war starts. They love it. I love it. and again, so this one here is more, or just say, more star Wars themed, you know, it's even in the star Wars, font as well.

Rob (15:11.564)
Heh

Rob (15:35.66)
How convenient. I had no idea. Those are just cool looking squared off type of numbers and letters. All right. Yeah. but you're right. That does look similar to other franchises in the world. Thankfully, we don't write those words, so we're okay.

Craig (15:36.821)
Ha

You

Craig (15:46.623)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

It is May the 4th. Obviously, if you don't know May the 4th be with you. And then the follow up from that is the Revenge of the 5th. But anyway, heard about that one Rob too? Surely, surely you have. Of course you do. But don't forget though, there's actual mechs out there too with the Rob Vardeman mechs. Not Rob Vardeman, what's it called? Darth Vardeman. Darth Vardeman mechs and a few other mechs, Star Wars mechs out there.

Rob (16:07.604)
Mm-hmm. I have. I'm that guy. I'm that Star Wars guy. I got the tattoo. Yeah, he remember. Yeah.

Rob (16:23.038)
A Darth, Darth Vardaman,

Princess Lua, yeah, yeah.

Craig (16:27.949)
Yep. Yep. Yep. So they may, they may or may not come back into the store. We'll soon see. Um, meanwhile, the bonus of it's themselves may 2nd to 4th, double mech deploys and double magnet strength for everyone on May 2nd to 4th, May 8th to 10th is double points for everyone. Everyone gets double points on greenies, cards, flats, weapons, jewels, and zodiacs. And then rounding out the month, May 22nd to 24th, another double point weekend for everyone.

greenies, cards, flats, mysteries, colors, and gaming. Now, before the clan wars requirements come out for May, you can already kind of see what's going to happen from there before the, before the requirements come out. You can already see what's going to be needed. No, no, I can see what's going to, I can see, can see, I can see what's needed. I can see what's needed. So there you go.

Rob (17:09.194)
Not me. No, no, not me. I'm not reading the blog. I don't have any idea. Yeah. do you? Okay. Good. Well then, any of you who like to try and predict things or prepare yourselves. Yeah. Yeah. Some of this might make sense and it might help you out.

Craig (17:24.383)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Exactly. Exactly. And don't forget as well, the first Double Point Weekend Rob, it includes Zodiacs as well. And remember from last week how, you know, that promotion, the Zodiac promotion, we'll call it that. That's going on forever. You know what I mean? So you don't need to do those and get 25, you know, tomorrow and all that sort of stuff. You get 25 in 2028, you're going to get a temporary play around bouncer. You get 100 in 2030, you're going to get a permanent.

Rob (17:56.502)
Yes.

Craig (18:00.174)
You know what mean? Deploy. Deploy. Yeah. Yeah. Deploy them. Yeah.

Rob (18:00.246)
deploy if you deploy them. Yeah. So if they just hang out in your inventory and all that kind of stuff, I know, I know what you mean when you're saying what you're saying. I just going to throw it out there to everybody to make sure that they remember those wandering druid, fill in the blank of what animal, or the eternal druid fill in the blank, you know, stag, for example. yes, you get one, wandering one every 25 deploys.

Craig (18:11.607)
Thank you,

Craig (18:17.589)
Yes. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (18:30.312)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:30.316)
per specific style. And then you get the one eternal druid in that animal form when you get to 100. So yeah, the good news for everyone is that's been working properly. We can say that now because everything went live after we recorded this last week. saying it would have been like, Oh, it messed up again. No, so could have knocked on wood, but at this point in time, everything's been going well with that.

Craig (18:35.114)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:40.225)
That's right.

Craig (18:44.214)
Yes.

Craig (18:48.203)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Craig (18:53.837)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (18:59.98)
you know, we've seen some good feedback and, for some people, this is the, know, they've accumulated these as prizes from surprise wheels or clam requirements or whatever. And so really we put this in as a little bonus. that was it. Just, we have some super cool art of all of these Celtic animals and why shouldn't we use this in some other way? And, and so, you know,

Craig (19:21.825)
Yeah

Craig (19:25.877)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (19:29.386)
the was is there a demand? Are we demanding people, you know, like, pay for this bouncer for this art? No, there there are ways for you to get these things. You know, and I don't know what the rewards are for this next month. But it seems like something that would be popular, you know, with players would be Celtic zodiacs. I don't know. I'm just just

Craig (19:48.992)
I do. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I know. And I'll say this as well. There's the, there's the nine players from the, that got rewards for the Munzee monthly moments videos from last month, the before the even Celtic, these even came out. I knew what was happening. So what happens, Rob? They also get.

Rob (19:59.008)
Throwing it out there.

Craig (20:16.957)
the Zodiac rewards too. So last month, the nine players who got rewards last month for the Munzee monthly moments, they know, they know what's what they know. They know I look after them. So there you go.

Rob (20:21.676)
Wow.

Rob (20:29.76)
that almost sounded like a plug for doing the Munzee Monthly Moments for this month with not an expectation, but possibly with an ulterior motive of receiving some Celtic zodiacs as a reward should you get drawn in the random drawing. I'm just filling in the lines.

Craig (20:35.085)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Craig (20:48.717)
Maybe.

Or, or should you, should you get a place as well? First, second, third, for instance, as well. So we've been having some great videos come through and for this month as well, all you need to do is a while. Why not? Why not say it while I'm here? All you need to do is film yourself a vertical format, like a shorts or a tick tock, for instance, on YouTube or on tick tock. And then show a POI itself and then show the, capping that POI.

But I want to say, I want to see POIs out there. There've been a couple of different types of POIs and I'll accept any POI at all, but you you capping a garden POI then showing the garden. It's like, that's cool. That qualifies, you know, but that will probably go in the list of random drills. Whereas you show something else, for instance, like something that the POI that looks like phenomenal, then you're going to get in the, in the, in the top, top rated one. there you go. Munsey Monthly Moments.

Craig (21:56.878)
Look at

If that's the case, if that's the case, if that's the case, Rob, I want something from you. I want a Munzee Monthly Moment video from you. I know, right?

Rob (22:09.26)
This was threatened, I believe, two weeks ago. Was like, you should do one.

Craig (22:11.981)
It was, it was, and it still hasn't come through yet. Maybe you should do a brewery and then grab a beer from the brewery. instance. Oh, there you go. And then the beer snob Rob can come out. So look at you. See, there you go. All right, Rob, moving on to the last thing. And more importantly as well, the brand new secret Z-Ups has come out. Tell us more about the brand new secrets. This came out yesterday at midday. Um, yeah.

Rob (22:19.916)
I do like where you're going.

Rob (22:36.78)
It did. It is called the gauntlet gateway. as usual, they come out in the app. They're in the app store. They cost 1500 zeds. This one was released as we've said now. It'll be coming out of the store on May 30th, June 30th. I'm like, what date? yeah. June 30th. It's launched on 4 15 on April 15th. I'm getting all confused with numbers here.

Craig (22:40.941)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:45.836)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:52.737)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (22:58.092)
Mm-hmm.

Rob (23:06.52)
so this, this is a fun one and I'm not going to put all the details out there about why this is a fun one, why this is possibly an important one, why this might be, I might even go so far as to say a turning point, without, without going into too much more, you know, we'll just go with foreshadowing. We'll just go with stopping at that point. All right.

Craig (23:06.56)
Yeah.

Craig (23:11.159)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:15.254)
No.

Craig (23:20.311)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:26.241)
Craig (23:35.863)
Yeah, don't give too much away. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (23:36.14)
They're exciting. They're a lot of fun. It gives you something beyond clan requirements to play. We release these typically around the 15th of the month. Every other month, everyone's figured it out. We can say it as a fact. That's that's how we roll with these. So it's kind of like a second half of the month. Something to do. Yeah, so hopefully everyone enjoys it. Have you

Craig (23:44.544)
Yeah.

Craig (23:51.391)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (23:59.636)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Rob (24:05.418)
You seen anything cool about this one?

Craig (24:07.787)
Yeah. there's lots of things cool about this one, but what I, what I thought most being on the inside circle, I'll say that Rob being on the inside of the MHQ, I thought to myself, did, did Dylan write too much? you know, did he give too much away by, by what he wrote in the actual, the storyline, did he give too much way by the storyline? Did Andy give too much away in regards to the artwork, for instance, you know, that's.

Rob (24:24.14)
Mmm.

Right.

Rob (24:36.3)
Ooh, wow. How interesting. I've talked recently about how important it is to read the stories in the Secret Zops because Dylan enjoys it. puts work into it. He's very creative. I was going to help everyone by like, okay, here's the synopsis of the first 12. I'm too lazy for that. So I actually just went to some AI out there and I said, tell me a synopsis of the first 12. Well, it was a bit chaotic because that's what we do.

Craig (24:37.261)
So, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I know.

Craig (24:45.164)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (24:58.155)
huh.

Rob (25:05.92)
However, here's here's a one sentence read of it. And if this doesn't get you interested in not only participating in secret ZIOPs, but also in reading the story, the initial stories are a blend of espionage, sci fi anomalies and playful absurdity. I was like, come on, playful absurdity should probably be like a byline to Munzee's scavenger hunt and

Craig (25:08.534)
Mm-hmm.

Craig (25:25.421)
Hehehehehe

Rob (25:34.828)
playful absurdity. Yeah, love it.

Craig (25:36.301)
I know, I know you love that stuff. So don't forget, get this, it is available, in app as well for 1500 Z. So make sure you just click it. Robert, are there going to be some others out there as well? That if you like the older ones as well, going to come back at all? Do we know? I think so. Yeah.

Rob (25:52.116)
I think so. If they're not there now, we release them, re-release them from time to time. I don't remember the answer to that question.

Craig (25:57.981)
Exactly.

A quick quick tip though is that if you you can have more than one you can actually be doing more than one at any one particular time, but if you do one at a time, you can really concentrate on getting exactly what you the requirements you need. This one here I like the fact Rob that you can't actually do it all in one day and be the first you know you it's got it's got a streak related to it too so.

Rob (26:17.45)
Yeah. Yeah.

Craig (26:23.007)
I know that annoys some people and, I laugh because I used to be one of those people that annoys and it probably still annoys me, but I laugh at it now in a fun way. So, cause I think it was like, well, it is what it is.

Rob (26:31.82)
Sometimes we like to pump the brakes. It's a required pumping of the brakes. It's like setting levels and number of days of activity for clan requirements. It's the same idea behind it. So we don't do it all the time, but sometimes we do it for a reason.

Craig (26:40.629)
Yes. Yes. Exactly. Nope. Exactly. All right, Rob, moving on to the Munzee question of week. And this one here is Rob, when are the garden of the month announced? And it's a two-part question. And when will we know the requirements for 2027?

And the reason for it is the gardens need to be filled to actually qualify. So people are starting to wanting to put in their gardens now so they can slowly fill for 2027. So when are they announced and when will 2027 be announced?

Rob (27:14.828)
2027. I'm just going to go backwards in order to 2027. Are you serious? From the company of playful absurdity, like, wow. Um, let's just go with not yet on 2027 and, um, and however I do understand the reasoning behind the question, especially for January of 2027 does take time sometimes to fill the gardens, totally get it. So not yet. However,

Craig (27:16.973)
Well.

Craig (27:28.797)
Mm-hmm. Yep.

Craig (27:35.561)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rob (27:45.152)
coming soon. Thousand hours, probably not birthday. That seems like a reasonable time, but I'm not securing that anyway. When are they announced? Well, Go TM, sorry, garden of the month announced typically mid to two thirds of the month time period. We kind of run this task within the team around the middle of the month and some months.

Craig (27:50.039)
Yeah

Craig (28:05.931)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Rob (28:12.542)
it takes us a couple of days to all agree on, you know, which way we go. but yeah, I, I, so I would say, that as you're listening, you probably are not like, well, they just announced it. however, you, you could probably, feel pretty confident about knowing the winners next week. I feel okay saying next week. Yeah.

Craig (28:15.848)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Craig (28:32.415)
There you go. There you go. There you go. That's when they were announced for those people out there who looking for gardens of the month. There's new players putting in gardens of the month coming up as well. All you have to do when you put it in the garden of the month or your request for garden month, cause you can put a one garden in for more months than just the one is that you make sure you put the tag lines in correctly. And therefore it'll just click through. Sam's built it again. And literally it just, when you put the tag line in, it comes up.

Bam, it's right into the garden of the month category for that particular month. Meanwhile, Rob moving into the Munzee tip of the week. And this one here talks about the wishing wells again. Now we've spoken about this wishing wells again and again and again and again. If you cannot cap a wishing well, it has zero caps on it and it is in a what do call it? Private property area or an area where you can't get to, et cetera, et cetera, blah, blah, blah. Send in a support ticket with the URL of that wishing well.

Rob (29:08.972)
again?

Craig (29:28.403)
It may get deleted. It may get moved for instance, as well. If you want a new well where you can actually cap it, for instance, as well, you know, could be, you know, at the front of your house or in a park or like even on a street near where you do your grocery shopping, wherever it can be. It's got to be half a mile away from any other wishing well. You then use the camp hub. The camp hub is where you see Cappy in his little, you know, field of dreams. We'll call it that way.

and you click on the well itself within the camp hub. Some people, Rob don't realize that that's actually a clickable button. So you click on the well within the camp hub. sometimes it may automatically deploy other times it sends it through to support. then, we look at, deploying it for you where you are, where you click that button. So there you go, Rob Munsey tip of the week for wishing wells, because they're not going anywhere. Are the wishing wells they're staying.

Rob (30:23.05)
Indeed.

Craig (30:23.167)
They're staying as clan requirements. And I know some people love more and they want more and more and more of them. So we may get up into triple figures, Rob. I would say that for one particular person anyway. Otherwise, Rob, that ends another official Muncie podcast.

Rob (30:29.228)
Hmm.

Rob (30:32.711)
Woo!

Rob (30:38.144)

Rob (30:48.69)
And remember, Munzee is more than a game, it's a worldwide community of mobile game players.

Craig (30:53.537)
So keep scanning, keep discovering, keep that Munzey spirit live on. One, two, three, Z-OPS for the win. Z-OPS, I like the Z-OPS. You know what's called the Gauntlet Gateway?

Rob (30:58.442)
Munzeon!

Rob (31:04.876)
Why?
