Seemyshell (00:00.757)
Welcome to the Official Munzee podcast.

Rob (00:03.121)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Munzee.

Seemyshell (00:07.111)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell. I'm an avid Munzee player and I'm here to explore the game further.

Rob (00:12.433)
Each week we'll delve into Munzee's mysteries, divulge some secrets, and inform players from around the world just what is coming your way.

Seemyshell (00:19.47)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode is huge. We're to talk about myths, elementals, clan wars and cap, cap, cappy. I can't sing for cap, but Rob, can we fit all this in in 30 minutes? I looked at the show notes. I'm like, wow. Again, it's like another month is upon us. Jeez.

Rob (00:28.484)
Cappy the unicorn. Yeah, whatever.

Rob (00:39.263)
It's going to be a challenge. good news is there's not many events from last weekend to talk about, so we can burn through that part.

Seemyshell (00:44.47)
This is true, we'll skip through the events, we'll burn through the events pretty much so. Mate, what's been happening with you this past week?

Rob (00:51.417)
my goodness. We have so much to talk about today. You said it that just wrapping up August has been monumental. we're moving into September. There's so much stuff to talk about. It's going to be great. I don't know if you've ever seen the frosted flakes commercial, not sponsored, but it's great. Tony the tiger, any who, we'll get to that in a minute. Yeah.

Seemyshell (00:53.294)
I know.

Seemyshell (00:59.606)
Mm

Seemyshell (01:07.16)
What the?

There you go. No, I haven't. I haven't seen that commercial like I don't watch television. I got too busy to watch television, Rob. and not only that, I was speaking of this month just gone now, August, my clan, Rob, my clan, my lovely little clan, my Geo clan, we call ourselves. We hit level six this month. Yes, I know. we

Rob (01:31.412)
Yeah.

Whaaaat? That's awesome.

Seemyshell (01:36.206)
We're finishing, we're going to finish in the top 50 for the first time ever. So a big shout out to my clan members for hitting level six. Now, Rob, I'll say this, just so you know, personally, it wasn't like hard, hard, but it wasn't easy either. It was spot on perfect for the level in which we are and the amount in which we all play. So why I'm saying that for is because again, as I say, always I'm a player first and therefore I don't want it to be any harder than what it already is.

Rob (01:42.259)
Wow.

Rob (02:04.915)
That feedback is very important because I am monitoring how many teams or clans, I forget, hit the different levels. And so I don't get that information until after I've already made the claim requirements for the following month. So good to hear from a player.

Seemyshell (02:06.03)
Yeah.

Yes.

Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (02:19.019)
Mm

Seemyshell (02:22.722)
Yeah, well there you go. Meanwhile, also my car currently is still in actually in the workshop though, in the mechanics. And I'll pick it up this week, my car and hopefully cross fingers, cross toes, cross arms and legs that it's all done for my big trip coming up again in September. Cause I'm actually driving to the Munzee Mischief events. So in Texas, there we go.

Rob (02:28.863)
Ooh.

Rob (02:39.303)
Yes.

Rob (02:43.123)
That would be amazing. Well, I hope it finishes quickly.

Seemyshell (02:46.712)
Thank you, mate, thank you. All right, let's get a start on a crack on this as well. The activity from last week, we had one event in Missouri and around the world we had Dorset, England and Victoria, Australia. Let's see the leaderboards, Rob, what about Friday?

Rob (02:59.711)
Friday, Ma -rock with 386 ,000, HBRB 255 ,000, and Coal Cracker 7 217 ,000.

Seemyshell (03:09.038)
On Saturday we had Kazima on 249 ,000. I'm sorry if I said that wrong. the one and only Munzee Prof again in second at 187 ,000 points and Redman on 179 ,000 points on Sunday.

Rob (03:25.151)
Sunday VadoTech 233 ,000. Once again, it's Munzi Prof holding himself back for second place, 211 ,000. And Jaroslav Kos, somewhere in the 200 ,000 range. Well done.

Seemyshell (03:30.712)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (03:39.134)
Yes, yes. What's with Muncie? Does he do it on purpose now Rob? He has to.

Rob (03:43.461)
He has to because he just loves to hear his name. Frank, come on, Well done. Yeah.

Seemyshell (03:47.75)
He knows he listens to the show. He's an avid listener He listens to the show as soon as it pops up in these are on his podcasting app. So there you go Rob We're very very light this week on events because obviously end of month and no one needs points and all that sort of stuff as well We only have Rob. We've got nothing around the rest of the world. We have one event only in US and it's in Kansas City, Missouri That's it. That's it. That's the only one so there we go a lot otherwise, but what I will say is this Rob

If people aren't going to events and they've got time on their hands now, guess what? Catch up on those Munzee videos. Yes. Here we go. Plug here for the Munzee videos by W Helen. This week, he features a special, special guest apparently and, and Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy, Minnesota boy. He does a few different games at the same time, all in one video. And then the best thing he finishes at the brewery. there you go.

Rob (04:44.623)
I'm in for that one. mean, I'm going to watch both, but very interested in the Minnesota boy one there. Nice.

Seemyshell (04:45.652)
Yes, yeah, I knew you would be.

Seemyshell (04:51.294)
Mm -hmm. Exactly. And one more thing, because there's no events at all on Sunday. So guess what? People can sit down, relax and watch yours truly on the Munzee YouTube channel, because it's the first of September, which means that I need to give out those prizes for the Munzee Monthly Moments videos. And so I'll be going live on Sunday on YouTube, the Munzee YouTube channel and watch out for that one. So there you go. There you go. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (05:17.951)
That's great. Stay busy, everyone. Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:20.928)
I haven't, I haven't twisted your arm yet as to how many prizes I can give away, but let's see how we go. I'm going to check under the bus live on air, but we'll see. What about the big events that are coming up Rob? What's coming up?

Rob (05:27.911)
ha, I like that, thank you!

Rob (05:35.711)
So we've got one more big one currently on the calendar for this year and then everything else goes to 2025. But the big one is coming soon, September 20th to 22nd. There are four events. They are in Fort Worth, Texas. All the locations are live so you can check the calendar to find those pink pins, get your deploys in early. This is Munzee Mischief and you will be there hopefully in your car.

Seemyshell (05:40.61)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (05:51.829)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (05:59.874)
me. Yes. Yes. Yes. Exactly right. Crossing things. But other people are going to be there too. So you can meet W Helen. He's going to be there. Minnesota boy is going to be there. There's a lot of other big players are going to be there. Rob too. There you go. Dale and Bob themselves are going to be there also. And you know, you can buy stuff from them. You never know what you can buy coming up. Just saying, look at that for a little segue. Listen up for maybe something new from them as well. So that's pretty cool.

Rob (06:11.229)
Basecoastgeostore will be there, yeah.

Rob (06:23.357)
Maybe something new, yeah.

Seemyshell (06:28.302)
So there's 32 actual Will attends there at the moment. We can make that bigger, but it's still slowly growing every single week is growing. Next up in 2025, we have January 16 to 19 in Florida. There's 23 attendees so far, five events for the Munzey Mecca down in Florida. Next up we have.

Rob (06:47.007)
Munzee Quest and Block Party that's January 25th and 26th and that's in Sydney Australia. There's 13 currently at that one but as we know they're gonna grow that it's gonna be a big co -exist deal this will match what they have done already this year we're sure of that.

Seemyshell (07:03.638)
Exactly. Exactly. Rob, are you going to go to that one? If it's lose birthday, if it's lose birthday.

Rob (07:08.191)
You know, was in I was in Sydney many years ago on Australia Day, which is Lou's birthday, the 26th of January, and we did have a really great time. She's sitting very nearby. if it's a surprise, I cannot tell you. sorry. She just corrected me. So no, we're definitely not going. But it was Melbourne. We were in Melbourne, not.

Seemyshell (07:19.092)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Yeah.

Seemyshell (07:28.765)
there you go.

Seemyshell (07:34.51)
Tell her they can actually do the fireworks on her behalf for her birthday. See, there you go.

Rob (07:41.447)
I mean, it would be a cool thing. both were wearing, you know, very Australian, you know, decoration, we'll call it. anyway, probably not.

Seemyshell (07:44.898)
Ha ha ha ha.

Yeah, exactly. But in saying that you think about it, she's a true British, she's a true Pomme, an England person, she wouldn't want to hang out with all the convicts on her birthday, but anyway.

Rob (08:00.632)
Yeah, she's done that once and that's good.

Seemyshell (08:03.368)
Exactly. After that, Rob, we have March 8th and 9th in California. We have Munzee Madness. So that's slowly developing now. There's only one event listed, but there's going to be more coming up through Munzee Madness in California. In May 24th, we have Munz Stock and that is in West Virginia. Munz Stock itself in Morgantown, West Virginia. And then on June, Rob, what do you have in June?

Rob (08:27.871)
June 7th and 8th, we've got Ohio hosting SOS 21 already showing for that one. So that crew brings people together from lots of states. So it'll be really good.

Seemyshell (08:32.426)
Mm -hmm. Yeah. Yeah, that's going to be a big event, I think.

Seemyshell (08:40.106)
Mm -hmm. Exactly. So don't forget if you're a host with a growing event and I haven't noticed it yet, reach out to me please and we'll have a discussion from there. All right, Rob, let's get into this show. this has been a good start. Only nine minutes in. Yes. Yes. Yes. I know. Let's slow down now. And we need to because there's lots to talk about still. All right, Rob, what's happening in the land? Firstly, I will say this, that it's recently come out this week, a new story land myth player owned

Rob (08:51.389)
Yeah, I'm impressed. We moved quickly. Let's slow down.

Seemyshell (09:07.682)
Bouncer? Tell us about this player and bouncer rule.

Rob (09:10.559)
Isn't it cool? It's a wolf and this is like the gnarliest wolf design that we've had in the game. So Andy really went all out with this one. This is Fenrir and the story ties back to Loki, Thor and Fenrir is the wolf animal pet, whatever that belongs to Loki. So that's the story, the myth, the

Seemyshell (09:12.214)
He is.

Seemyshell (09:21.004)
Mm

Seemyshell (09:31.021)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (09:39.871)
Legend that goes along with all of that. So we've tied it in and Fenrir has been let loose into the game of Munzee. It's $20 available online through mid September and I can tell you that Storyland myth points are one of the requirements in September for clan rig.

Seemyshell (10:03.198)
there you go. There you go. So would that include the, do you get points for deploy? I don't think it points you to deployment. So that includes deploy point points as well. So there you go. Hold off people if you like, and until the, the 3rd of September, and then actually buy yours from there and it will go towards your clan wars. dare say, Robert, just a couple of questions. these are player owned bounces. If people don't own a player and bounce before, what are they? What can they do? Do they, how long do they live for that sort of thing?

Rob (10:06.953)
Cap on. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (10:32.159)
So the story land myth is a permanent temporary permanent temporary what a permanent player owned bouncer. have temporary ones, but this is a permanent bouncer. So you you purchase this and it stays on the map from here until forever. It bounces. They have different timers on them. I can't remember if this one's six, eight, 10, 12 hours, whatever it is, but it bounces from one landing pad to the next. If it's captured by a player, then it bounces sooner than when the timer.

Seemyshell (10:38.04)
the

Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (10:48.109)
Wow.

Seemyshell (10:51.992)
Mm

Mm

Rob (11:01.971)
runs out. But yeah, it's a worldwide game piece that for players who don't have many of them, they do like to watch them. They like to watch and see where they go, where they bounce. For those of us who have collected many, you see the notifications and sometimes you're like, that's really cool. And other times you're like, yeah, another one of my bouncers got capped. It's fun to have a bouncer just to

Seemyshell (11:03.091)
Mm

Seemyshell (11:12.951)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (11:26.336)
Yeah.

Rob (11:30.731)
See where they go. Also people can take pictures on this so you can see the people that have captured those if if they're that kind of person like me that takes pictures on bouncers Usually if I capture them in the wild on physicals, I will take a picture still. Yeah

Seemyshell (11:35.491)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (11:42.222)
Mm

Seemyshell (11:47.33)
Yes. Yeah, exactly. And it don't forget people. You take two photos and upload the two photos with bounces themselves a month and you get a free photo card just saying. there you go. what? And also I love the fact that you can understand the bigger players. They own all the bounces, all the bigger players, because I've had it before where I won't say who their name was, but they messaged me saying, Craig, you don't understand. I wake up of a morning.

Rob (11:57.929)
Good point. Good point. Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:13.838)
You know, haven't even capped anything yet. I wake up in the morning and I'm already over, you know, 15, 20 ,000 points just from a couple of hours of not even playing, not even playing. So there you go. The big players do have these player owned bounces because they are permanent. Very good Rob. I did see the, the Finner, Finner, Fin, Fin, Fin, Fin, Finry, Finry that'll do. I did see the story behind him as well. So go and have a look if you're interested, go and have a look at the, the historic, story behind him.

Rob (12:31.451)
In rear? Yeah.

Seemyshell (12:41.92)
Now the reason why he's got a big chain apparently is because he can break through big chains and that big chain is actually broken too. He's not on a, he's not on a small, apparently the really thin cord is what can hold him, but a big chain can't. So there you go. That's just, I didn't learn, I'd learned that when it first come out. So there you go. Rob, what else is happening? The elemental community challenge is wrapping up now. That's all finished, has it?

Rob (12:48.649)
Hey!

Rob (12:52.979)
silk. Yeah.

Rob (13:05.855)
Yeah. So for the month of August, we had a community challenge, has been, you can find that on cup of Z. So the cup is the app or website. we set a challenge for the entire month of, earning 50 million points from all of the different elementals. And it also included the elemental scatters. there, there has been, there is a leaderboard for, you know, who is, who has the highest number of points like.

Seemyshell (13:09.826)
Mm

Seemyshell (13:21.08)
Mm

Seemyshell (13:26.498)
Mm

Seemyshell (13:31.501)
Mm.

Rob (13:35.775)
per each of the different elementals. So that's still ongoing through the end of the month. So I know there are quite a few people that are watching that to see if they're gonna stay on the top. that's been really fun because guess what? It's not the normal people that you see their names on the top of everything. And we on the team were super excited when we saw that no, none of the number one people were the same. It was amazing.

Seemyshell (13:39.217)
Mm

Seemyshell (13:45.58)
You

Seemyshell (13:51.042)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (13:54.496)
No. No.

Mmm.

Seemyshell (14:02.392)
Nope. And I know the exact reason why, Rob, and that is because I've tried, I tried it myself personally. Like I love the light mysteries. They're my favorite mysteries, the light mystery. I love what they, they flick off and scatter off. So the last weekend when we had all that big scatter event that we did that you did as well and that it flicked out more scatters than required. I magnetized a few of the light mysteries around my house here. And yeah, that did not count towards the light mystery things, but, but.

with the scatters obviously count because they're real scatters from the light mystery. So, so yes, I'm up in the leaderboards, Rob, me personally, woo, up in the label, but, only, only in the scatter points and not in the real stuff. So, so I feel Rob, I feel that the big players out there, they've already capped all the area in regards to, you know, the, the mysteries and elementals. And so they can't be up on the high on the leaderboard. And even if they magnetize things, they still can't get up there. So yeah, I know it's, it's a hard life.

Rob (14:39.517)
Hey!

Rob (14:43.751)
All right, yeah, you know.

Rob (14:58.387)
Yeah. It takes new gameplay so that levels the playing field and the leaderboard itself for new players, which we really liked. So there's a special reward that's available for all players. You have to meet individual requirements and there's a badge that's going to come from that. And then we're going to be delivering the actual rewards for all of these different competitions.

Seemyshell (15:06.245)
Mmm.

Seemyshell (15:10.893)
Yes.

Seemyshell (15:15.405)
Mm

Seemyshell (15:22.103)
Nice.

Seemyshell (15:27.832)
Mm

Rob (15:27.927)
And, and all of that, that's all going to happen early September because, everyone around the world may not know, but Monday is, labor day and that is a national holiday in the U S the first Monday in September. So, so yes, coming early September.

Seemyshell (15:33.976)
Yep.

Seemyshell (15:37.332)
Yeah.

Mm -hmm. Do the Munzee team get holidays, they? Not all, but some. Lou wouldn't.

Rob (15:48.593)
some of them, yes. All right. Yeah. Well, we had a bank holiday in the, in, England last this past Monday and Lou and I were both working on that day. And so is Andy. so, you know, everybody takes their turns.

Seemyshell (15:56.849)
this is true. This is true.

Seemyshell (16:04.206)
It's up and then up. Exactly. So look out for that people. Now you do get rewards as well if you are on the leaderboards, but for the actual mysteries or elementals only, not for the scatters. The scatters do not have badge rewards. Trust me. I've looked at it several times. I'm like, yeah, come on.

Rob (16:15.987)
Yeah.

Rob (16:22.527)
yeah, sorry.

Seemyshell (16:26.474)
All right, Rob, let's move on now to the September clan wars. Now, these just recently popped out as well. Talk to us a bit more about these September clan wars compared to like August. August was August was was good. I liked August.

Rob (16:40.479)
Okay, I'm glad you did, but I think that September is gonna be great, as has already been said, right? Exactly. And that's because it says so in the blog. I would like for, even though our job on this podcast is to read the blog to everyone, I'm going to recommend everyone actually look at that blog. And because I can't see the future right now, I don't know if the conversation will take off about what's at the very, bottom of the blog. However,

Seemyshell (16:45.634)
I'll hear you guys again.

Hmm.

Seemyshell (16:55.052)
Yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (17:02.723)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (17:09.137)
Everyone should read the blog. Everyone should look all the way to the bottom. There's a special little section. It's an extra tip. I'm not going to say that tip today and you haven't seen it. So you don't even know what it is either. I know it's not, it's nothing, it's nothing unusual, not something that, that, that we haven't even sort of talked about in the past. However, there's something new to it. And, and I really want everyone to actually pay attention to it because, it's, it's a pro tip.

Seemyshell (17:13.676)
at the

no, I don't have access to that.

Seemyshell (17:25.803)
Hmm.

Seemyshell (17:29.314)
Mm

Mm

Rob (17:38.717)
I have to say. Yeah. Now at the very top of the blog, so you don't even have to read for, however, this is the section that everyone always skips and I've written in a slightly different color so that maybe people won't skip it, but it's only written in one place and we are going to promote this on social media. So everybody don't freak out. It is going to be announced publicly. We already have it planned, but

Seemyshell (17:39.841)
Really?

Seemyshell (17:44.813)
Yeah, yeah.

Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (17:54.264)
Mm

Seemyshell (17:57.644)
Okay.

Rob (18:04.413)
The entire month of September is going to be great because we're going to do double points on greenies and greeting cards. it's a grr, grr, grr eight months. All right.

Seemyshell (18:13.922)
No.

and is that double points every day of the month? Every day of the month.

Rob (18:21.039)
every day on greenies and on greeting cards okay so we i was gonna say it but you said

Seemyshell (18:27.266)
Now we all know Rob, we all know. was gonna say, no, no, I'll say, no, I'm not gonna say what you're thinking because I'm thinking something totally different. And that is perfect timing being September because it's the change of month and the change of seasons. You know, it's the perfect weather, whether it be autumn, fall or spring to actually get outside and walk those greenies. So that's a perfect idea.

Rob (18:51.215)
This is, this is the least frozen ton Tundra of all the months. know what I mean? So, Northern hemisphere, good Southern hemisphere. Good. it doesn't mean that the weather is cool. Texas is still blazing hot. September you'll find out when you go to Muncie mischief. it's, it is still hot. It might be rainy there. All of those things. I can't control the weather. However, September typically is one of those months where.

Seemyshell (18:56.521)
Mmm. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah

Seemyshell (19:11.051)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (19:14.83)
Nah.

Rob (19:20.797)
we've always had a little bit of a greeny focus. So yes, that's what's happening.

Seemyshell (19:24.898)
So I wonder if there's a greeny heavy in terms of the point requirements for claymores.

Rob (19:31.113)
heavy. Not not not much heavier than previous months. I will tell you that not much heavier. Green greeting cards obviously is going to be a big number. Greenies is going to be a big number because it's great. But the it's it you're not going to see everything all the categories that we've been running that I put together that were new in the past. I didn't go crazy. I didn't make any new

Seemyshell (19:37.558)
Okay, okay, that's good. That's good.

Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (19:52.354)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (19:59.987)
categories in September. And matter of fact, I removed a lot of the things that we have been using. So I've kind of trimmed it down. Just wanted to take it back a little more basic. Greenies, greeting cards.

Seemyshell (20:09.826)
Mm -hmm.

On behalf of seven people on the water wine cooler, did you remove the scatter points requirement for flat scatters?

Rob (20:23.807)
But flat scatters are gone because there's only going to be one flat scatter event in the month of September and I don't want to deal with that. So no.

Seemyshell (20:33.646)
Sorry for laughing people out there. your clan was hurt by the fact that you didn't actually get those scatter points, I'm not even going to apologize. There's plenty of places where Munzee do push what's required for different things on Facebook and Instagram, Twitter, you name it, they're out there. The blogs, know, everything. The water cooler, the whole lot. So there you go.

Rob (20:56.605)
Mm -hmm. And I apologize and I am sorry that people missed out on some of those things. However, it was there. The word was there.

Seemyshell (21:05.406)
Exactly, exactly. Moving on, Rob, we have this here. got what you read out the next one for me. I don't understand what this is.

Rob (21:12.127)
this is, this is one of those, golden things that I have wanted for so, so long. And anyone who's talked to me for the past 10 years has known that I have wanted a plushie. I wanted Rover. We have Cappy the unicorn in plushie form. Okay. Because Cappy the unicorn has come in as the new ruler of the game of onesie. Cappy is all things, right?

Seemyshell (21:17.708)
Mmm.

Hmm.

Seemyshell (21:28.859)
Mmm. Yeah.

Mm

Rob (21:39.175)
And this is truly like the cutest little plushie ever. And I said that on our meeting Monday and Mick said, can you say that again and let me record it so that we can have that as a special little, you know, whatever. I was like, no, no. Okay, Cap, just a cute little plushie. Anywho, super excited.

Seemyshell (21:44.066)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (21:56.736)
You

Seemyshell (22:03.661)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (22:04.339)
Dale and Barb have actually soft launched this at their event. I didn't even mean that. Nice one. So they have them. So Wednesday, the day we're recording, they've got their anniversary event that they're doing. so anyone who's attended that actually has the opportunity to be the first people in the world, including touching them before me. I still have not.

Seemyshell (22:07.95)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Seemyshell (22:20.419)
Mm

Yes.

Seemyshell (22:29.591)
Wow.

Mm -hmm. Got your hands on one.

Rob (22:34.239)
Cappy the unicorn. know it's very sad. A few team members have, but not me. so anyway, these are $9 as, Cappy the plushie, you can add a dollar to get one with the key chain. they're available through the online store. Space coast is going to have them at events. we do have a personal tag. That's going to be an add on option with this. However, we're having some,

Seemyshell (22:39.31)
Mm

Seemyshell (22:42.968)
Mm

Mm

Mm

Seemyshell (22:52.824)
Mm

Seemyshell (22:56.878)
Yeah.

Rob (23:01.533)
delays from the manufacturer of the tags. So I'm not sure if those will be live when this podcast goes out or not. If, if we got them out there, yes, I'm super excited. If we didn't, we are very hopeful that they will be out there soon. There's also something that you've been working on, which is a bunch of cool new Cappy merch. There's a section in the store, the online store for all of that.

Seemyshell (23:05.038)
Mm

Seemyshell (23:12.844)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (23:16.59)
Mm

Seemyshell (23:20.536)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (23:26.646)
Yes, in the store.

Rob (23:31.261)
shirts, visors for loving people, advisors. I will say one more thing. There's also a new meet Cappy Universal. All right. So.

Seemyshell (23:37.858)
Mm

Seemyshell (23:41.134)
so if people don't know what a universals are, universals are a digital product itself that stays with you in on your profile for life. And, and then people can cap that whenever they wish. And you both get points, cap capping and cap on points. So that's the new universal. you meet me, cappy. I like it, Rob. I like it. I will say this. I will say this, that $9 for the unicorn plushie. If you love him.

Rob (24:01.919)
I mean, there's so much.

Seemyshell (24:10.7)
Buy him. If you hate him because there's some out there that don't call him Cappy, they put a little R in there somewhere. If you hate him, buy it and use it as a pin cushion. Just saying like, you know, mean, either way, either way he's, he's, he's useful, Rob. He's useful.

Rob (24:17.012)
Ha

Rob (24:26.023)
Look, we're going to launch campaigns involving Cappy or Capir if you put an R on it. we're going to launch some campaigns about this on social media and through all the different platforms. people know how we are when there's new stuff. We just gave away player awards for things from Wishing Wells and Well Wisp and all of that. if...

Seemyshell (24:29.624)
Mm

Yeah.

Seemyshell (24:39.885)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (24:45.208)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (24:50.594)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (24:52.543)
We're putting something out that is this plushie that I personally have been hoping for for 10 years. Don't you think that there's going to be stuff that's rewarded from those who use Cappy out there in the real world? We want we want to see this. We see this as as an outreach type type tool, I suppose. Yeah, that's the hope.

Seemyshell (24:59.842)
Mm

Seemyshell (25:15.256)
Mm

Mm -hmm. Yep. Yep. No perfect perfect now speaking of the new a cappy itself There's more cappy stuff coming out Rob. We're talking the digital stuff now as well. What's what's with the new all the new cappy stuff?

Rob (25:27.667)
Yeah. So what's with Cappy being everywhere? That's what some people are probably whining and asking, right? But the thing is, Cappy, as I said, when we put out the camp up, Cappy is here to stay not going anywhere. You can hide him from the camp up on the map. Cool. problem. However,

Seemyshell (25:43.18)
Mm -hmm. No.

Rob (25:48.017)
What we have just done is we have launched our biggest like rebranding update in a really long time. So we, we updated the icon and the, you know, the word Munzee a while back, but we have done it again because, know, no, we, we were taking Munzee in the direction of a fantasy, you know, theme, which

Seemyshell (25:53.24)
Mm -hmm.

Mm

Seemyshell (26:03.168)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Seemyshell (26:13.143)
yes, yes. I know. Mm -hmm. Exactly.

Rob (26:14.599)
What a surprise that September garden of the month fantasy theme. So anyway, there's a new app, as far as an update goes, if you install it and you should, and you will, cause we'll force it soon. there's a new icon, there's a new splash screen. And all that means is when the app is loading, you'll see a new, screen that pops up there. It has a new,

Seemyshell (26:23.266)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (26:27.084)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (26:40.915)
a new mechanism to show how much of the app has loaded. And I'll just leave that for everyone to see, because it's pretty fun. And Cappy is leading everyone through new tutorials. So for those of you who are listening, you're not new. You won't see the tutorials. yeah, it's a cool new adventure with Cappy.

Seemyshell (26:48.03)
that's cool.

Seemyshell (26:54.125)
Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (27:01.312)
And so this is going to be permanent from here on in. So those people out there who turn around and go, I don't like change, Rob, I just want my map screen. Well, guess what? You can still get your map screen, but all you need to do is just click one extra button and the map screen will just appear as normal. This is just a rebrand. This is mostly for new people. All I can think about Rob is this is, it's really pushing towards a younger generation of gameplay, of mobile gameplay, you know, and I can see that.

But I will ask this one question and that is, this is the other question people are going to ask. And that is that, you know, you guys have put a lot of effort into this as well. This has been over a period of time, this change, this hasn't happened overnight. And so you, you're also putting effort into the speed like it was on the triple point weekend and the backend of Munzee, that sort of stuff too. that, that's not that, that doesn't go full on deaf ears people. That's what I'm saying. No, no. Exactly.

Rob (27:38.975)
No.

Rob (27:47.043)
yeah.

Rob (27:51.889)
no. no. you put time into building Fenrir and this universal and this app and all of that different team. then, then the people who I taught, I have said for the last two weeks, how much time and effort has gone into fixing the, there were, three specific things. And to my knowledge, those three have been fixed and we are reducing loading time of all the other back.

Seemyshell (27:58.072)
Yeah.

Exactly.

Seemyshell (28:07.756)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (28:16.045)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (28:21.023)
things that no one knows about. All the background stuff is being worked on and reduced every single day. We have a very special team member who that's his job and and he's doing it very well. So we are prepared for September. Please don't be scared. Well, you'll be scared, but I'm really hoping that will prove it to you starting September 3rd. Yeah.

Seemyshell (28:23.427)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (28:28.366)
Mm

Seemyshell (28:33.538)
There you go.

Seemyshell (28:38.198)
It's. Yeah, it's double points on greenies and and greeting cards. That's that's all. So no triple points on everything weekends. That's what I think too. So that's all it is. So it should be a good, good month. I'm looking forward to it, Rob. I am looking forward to this month. I'm looking forward to capping now. I've got another question of the week. This question of the week comes from Hail Meister again. Now he did reach out both back and forward.

Rob (28:45.587)
Yeah. Right.

Rob (28:55.348)
Me too.

Seemyshell (29:05.152)
He did put on his social media on his Instagram socials that he has made videos, Munzee videos, but that's five, six, even seven years ago he made these videos. So Hailmeister, this is a call out for you before I read your question. And that is you, Mr. Hailmeister need to get the new Cappy plushie and the Cappy plushie and Mr. Bill need to go Munzee hunting together Rob. There you go. Yeah. See.

Rob (29:16.979)
Wow.

Rob (29:21.086)
Ha

Rob (29:31.077)
wow, I like this. That's a great idea.

Seemyshell (29:34.798)
You don't even have to think about ideas mate, just ask me, I'll give them to you. Meanwhile Rob, his question, and this is actually a pretty decent question as well, I haven't heard this one before, and that is, can there possibly be a way to show one's progress in those secret zeops, the ones that you get from capping the infrared scatters on the goggles, on the night vision goggles? There's currently no way to see what you still have left to do in those mini missions, Rob.

Rob (29:39.743)
I like it. That's cool.

Rob (30:03.327)
my God. What a crazy question because this is digging back into 10 years ago stuff. Honestly, I've actually asked, here's some serious behind the scenes. I've asked for a tool about like, can I do some updates to those things? And the way that all of that stuff was done so long ago, everyone's basically said, don't touch the spaghetti. Like don't mess with the sauce either. Like don't even.

Seemyshell (30:04.877)
Ha ha ha!

Seemyshell (30:11.544)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (30:17.996)
Mm

Seemyshell (30:29.46)
Rob (30:32.905)
Don't even play it, Rob. So we didn't put any time into dealing with all of those things. I mean, how many people tell me regularly that they hate those things anyway? So why on earth would we want to time into that? Honest answer. There you go.

Seemyshell (30:39.169)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (30:45.646)
I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I over 12 months into my replaying, you know, before I even noticed they were a thing and I kept thousands of them. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. I mean, they are a little bit of fun. Now, if you don't want to know what we're talking about, we're talking about when you, kept the night vision goggles and then you get the three infrared scanners go out that you need to be in within a hundred foot. It's really, really close.

Rob (30:56.735)
Yeah, they're worth 100 points. They're worth 100 points instead of like you get 20 or something anyway. Yeah.

Seemyshell (31:15.054)
You kept one of those infrared scatters. There's a possibility and only a possibility that you may get a secret zeop mission What you need to do is you need to press that red button where you normally do your daily zeops and then at the top it says the daily or secret you need to click that secret button and that's when they'll come up down there I have in the past Rob. I'll be honest. I've kept like, you know 15 20 of the actual the the the infrareds themselves and I've got maybe one mission

You know what mean? So they're, they're rare -ish, but yeah, there you go. there you go, Mr. Hale Meister. Meanwhile, Cappy and Mr. Bill video coming to a screen near you. I'll chuck him under the bus. Rob, we're to end this episode now with the Munzee tip of the week. And we're going to talk about the app. Tell us about the app, Rob. Tip of the week is to do what?

Rob (31:43.507)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (31:54.409)
Hahaha

Rob (32:04.123)
Update the app update the app, please everyone. It's gonna be an update that's pushed through the app store. if Here's here's what supports gonna tell you very first thing when you send in a ticket. this isn't working Here's what's not working. The first question is gonna be did you delete the app completely from your phone and then reinstall a fresh version from the app store? Is that required? No, however

Seemyshell (32:06.094)
Hehehehehe

Mm

Seemyshell (32:24.408)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (32:28.554)
Mm -hmm. No.

Rob (32:31.143)
It clears the cache, it clears the memory, it does a lot of special things. So anyway, in order to help our support, which helps all of you, if you want to do it that way, you're gonna reset all the things that are important to reset. You don't lose your points, you don't lose anything. It's all secure. But please, install that update because this is where we're going. It's the future, it's fantasy.

Seemyshell (32:33.378)
Right.

Seemyshell (32:45.474)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (32:53.742)
Mm

Rob (32:58.609)
Like we've got this whole theme. We've got this. It's a big, huge circus that's coming your way. People it's coming through the camp hub. It's coming through Cappy. Cappy's going to lead us on quite an adventure. Will Cappy have other friends? I sure hope so. We'll just have to wait and see. Will Cappy have an enemy? what? I mean, I just got goosebumps thinking about Cappy getting an enemy. Yo, stay tuned people. I'm telling you, that's my tip of the week. Stay tuned.

Seemyshell (33:03.139)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (33:13.442)
No.

What? What?

Seemyshell (33:24.84)
wow.

I'll know, I'll know if people listen all the way through to this podcast because of that there, that was a big beans just spilt right there people. If you didn't think Rob just literally blurted that out because he wasn't even speaking slowly. So he was speaking quicker than what he was thinking. So there you go people take that for what it is. So meanwhile, guess what Rob, we're gonna end it. We're gonna end it there on that note right now. So this ends another official Munzee podcast.
