Seemyshell (00:01.27)
Welcome to the official Munzee Podcast.

Rob (00:03.918)
I'm Rob, also known as Coach V, your host and the president of Muncie.

Seemyshell (00:07.858)
And I'm Craig, also known as Seemyshell. I'm an avid Munzee player and I'm here to explore the game further.

Rob (00:13.1)
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 (00:20.216)
So sit back, relax. Today's episode, we chat from one month to the next. We've gone from August to September. We've got app updates, we've got clan wars, we've got bounces, and then we end with some information, some old information, Rob, about rovers, in which I've got to have to grill you a little bit about rovers, because I did some research of my own today too, mate. So there you go. Sounds like a big show. We weren't going to do that much of a big show, but it kind of is now.

Rob (00:41.241)
Wow.

Rob (00:46.88)
Yeah, I thought we were gonna kind of have a down low, you know, week, but no, no such thing.

Seemyshell (00:51.51)
Yeah. Relax. No, no, no. Not when you put me in charge of the show notes. I'll just say that, you know, and, especially when I've get people, reach out to me on all different social media and say, can you talk about this next week? Can you talk about this next week? And I think that's a great idea. You know, any of that sort of information is welcome to me, Rob. So there you go. Meanwhile, what have you been up to this week? You haven't even been in London or England this week. Have you? Where have you been now?

Rob (00:58.724)
That's right.

Rob (01:10.741)
Absolutely.

Rob (01:15.132)
no, no. whirlwind trip with Lou for her, world championships race. she did well. Everything went well for her. She, safe ride, nice, race pace. Everything went well for her. So, that was good. Celebrated that and then, returned home. But while I was out and about, I got to cap some Munsies in at some cool new places and.

Seemyshell (01:25.943)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (01:32.504)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (01:38.549)
Mm

Rob (01:43.19)
In true co -exist fashion, I picked up a couple of new souvenirs on the geocaching side. Yeah. Yeah, man.

Seemyshell (01:46.892)
Yeah, there you go. The only person I know who co -exists from a top end level. just say that it doesn't, I don't think it goes the other way around, but anyway, Rob, did you place any physical moneys out and about when the other countries you're into? Yeah.

Rob (01:55.799)
Yep. Yep.

I'm not sure that it does.

Rob (02:06.862)
Now I did, yes, because so the race was in Denmark, in Alborg, Denmark. yeah, so I actually put out quite a few in a park right around the hotel. A little video out about that and just, yeah, had a good time doing it. It was fun.

Seemyshell (02:13.004)
Mm

Seemyshell (02:17.292)
Mm

Seemyshell (02:25.014)
That's cool. And the reason why I ask and that is people, if you're going away somewhere, especially outside of another country, take some stickers with you, put some physicals, because physicals are the only things that count when it comes to your country status, people, not the virtual, because you can put a virtual in any country from your home address. So physicals are the only things that count. And Rob, I've messaged that to Josh the other day too, because he's gone to Venice this week and Germany. And I said to him,

Rob (02:32.195)
Yeah.

Rob (02:42.979)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (02:51.576)
Take some Munzee stickers if you want those extra countries. there you go. He's doing the same thing, mate, over there. So shout out to the GCV. some videos obviously will be coming soon from him, from Venice, amongst all the boats and that. Have you been to Venice, Rob? No, no.

Rob (02:55.652)
Very good. Yeah, it's great.

Rob (03:07.224)
I never have. I never have. I'm jealous of what he's up to. It looked like it was going to be a good time.

Seemyshell (03:12.616)
I know, I know, but mate for myself now, turn it around to me because it's all about me. No, it's not. My clan. I'm so excited, Rob. I didn't realize my clan, my clan, my clan, my clan of seven, six or seven, whatever we've got now. We got 42nd in the world last month for the clan and we got a badge.

Rob (03:16.579)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Rob (03:34.177)
The answer to life and everything! Did you get that badge?

Seemyshell (03:35.874)
That's yes. Yeah. don't, I'll be honest, Rob. And, and I didn't even know that the badges themselves for leaderboards, for the daily leaderboards, you know, for your first and second and eighth and all that sort of ones, they coincide with the same badges for clans every month. I know I didn't even know that. So there you go. There you go. So why I'm saying that if you're in a clan this month, for instance, coming up and you're all like, you know,

Rob (03:52.926)
What? Yeah.

Seemyshell (04:04.046)
Yeah. You're not, you're not going to be up number one, right? Cause obviously let's be honest, Rob, up those number one, that's they're millionaires, you know, every month. So that's hard to get up there, but you can be in a clan. That's even if you're a hundred, it's a badge for 100 people. So if you're in a clan, that's, know, around 102, get kicking yourself in a gear a bit and get yourself to the hundred mark and you'll get a badge at the end of the month. So there you go. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (04:10.495)
Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Rob (04:17.966)
Yeah, there is.

Rob (04:27.512)
Yeah, it's worth it.

Seemyshell (04:29.454)
42nd, 42nd, so excited. And my whole clan was too. had a little online clan party, we'll say that. So that was pretty cool. I know, thank you mate. Meanwhile, after we record this, we record this beginning of the week, it comes out on Friday. On Sunday, I'm hoping to get in my car and start drive, the long drive to Texas.

Rob (04:32.484)
I'm impressed.

Rob (04:36.356)
That's really cool. Congrats.

Rob (04:50.084)
you got your car that's awesome man, I hope I hope that works out for you

Seemyshell (04:56.864)
Me too man, a state where everything is bigger. yes, are we hopefully getting over to Texas and again, everyone can meet me in Texas as well at the big events over in Texas. ones that Denali and Knots Mons and all them are hosting as well. So that's pretty cool. We'll talk about those in a sec. So anyway, Rob, the week that was the events, we only had the Missouri and the Florida last Tuesday as well. And it looks like Dale and Barb, they had a great time, Rob. Did you see some of the photos and stuff on?

Rob (05:12.007)
yeah, that'd be great.

Rob (05:23.62)
I did I did. I saw that they had a little bit of rain. actually watched the wheel in video and saw that their physical fun is what I think it said was a bit delayed and rained out. So crazy. Yeah. Yes.

Seemyshell (05:26.486)
On the Space Coast site, yeah.

Seemyshell (05:33.506)
Mm -hmm. Yeah, they did.

Seemyshell (05:42.132)
Yes, it was dampened. was dampened. But yeah, and as you said, Whelan has got a video out there as well. And again, as always links are in the description. And his video includes the new Cappy plushie. So they've got the new Cappy plushie. As we said last week, you can purchase the Cappy plushie on the freeze tag store or from Dale and Barb Direct. If you see them at an event directly, they'll have them direct. So there you go. I got mine ordered,

Rob (06:07.8)
Yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (06:09.726)
I ordered mine straight away and I've got mine with a little personal attached to it as well. So there we go. Yeah, I didn't even know they come with a little personal one attached to it as well.

Rob (06:14.262)
Nice.

Yep. Yeah, there's a, there's an option to get the personal, as well. Yeah. So that's good. those, those were all, you know, like purchased and all the orders went through last week, because of labor day, the shipping was going to be happening early this week. So, everyone, please don't expect that they will have arrived within two days, let's say, cause they, they, they most likely didn't ship until Tuesday of, this week. Yep.

Seemyshell (06:22.008)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (06:30.786)
Mm

Seemyshell (06:35.181)
Mm

No. Yeah, no, definitely not.

Seemyshell (06:44.608)
Mm -hmm. Yeah. Well, I hope to get mine before Friday if that's the case, because I want him to come on my trip with me. So that would be cool. We'll be sort of before Saturday. You guys deliver here on weekends too. That's really strange for us Australians. Anyway, there we go. Have a look at the, the wheel and video itself. And he's got everything up there, including the little plushy. And it gives you this good size relation too, because someone asked about size on the water cooler too. And so I said, look, here it is here. And I gave him the link to it. So it shows the size. We know that

Rob (06:50.909)
yeah.

Rob (06:56.408)
Yeah, yeah, we do.

Seemyshell (07:14.538)
Mr. W. Helen, he's a big man, like he's very tall man, but it still doesn't look too small with Mr. Wheeler and the helm. there you go. Rob, the events around the world, we had none last weekend, none at all. You can tell it's in the middle of the two months. But the leaderboards, Rob.

Rob (07:21.646)
Yeah. Yep.

Rob (07:28.928)
Yep. End of the month. Events dry up.

Seemyshell (07:33.262)
The leaderboards themselves. Friday we had Munzee Prof in first place this time at 210 ,000 points. Jaroslav Kas at 193 and HBRB 187 ,000 points. On Saturday, Rob.

Rob (07:37.316)
Bye

Rob (07:48.068)
Saturday, Coal Cracker 7, 208 ,000. Munzee Prof, second place, 193 ,000. And Skindo, 148 ,000.

Seemyshell (07:57.262)
And then on Sunday we had Munsey Prof again in first place. What is going on, Frank? 190 ,000 points for Munsey Prof. So first, a second, and a first. He wins the weekend, hands down. Skindo was in second place with 169 ,000. HBRB again in third with 166 ,000 points. But again, it's the slower, like lesser points because it's between the months.

Rob (08:01.345)
Wow.

You

Rob (08:10.468)
Good weekend.

Rob (08:19.756)
Nice.

Seemyshell (08:26.284)
for the clan wars. that's what it is. Events this month coming up, or this weekend, sorry, this weekend.

Rob (08:31.522)
Yeah, this weekend we've got only one that's in the US and it is in New York, New York state and then around the world we've got one in Quebec, Canada, one in Netherlands and two in the UK.

Seemyshell (08:36.291)
Mm

Seemyshell (08:45.344)
Yep. Rob, future events coming up. This one here, I thought was interesting. Now I'm a, I'm a part of this one. I'll say, because this, this person reached out to me a few months back now and said, Craig, you know, asked me questions. I asked you about this one as well. I asked Lou about this one as well. It's very interesting. It's a good concept. It's a coexist event. Now this guy, by the way, it's in, New Jersey on October 13th. So Marky dates people. If you were in New Jersey, October 13th.

Rob (08:49.592)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (09:10.135)
Okay.

Seemyshell (09:13.942)
It's a coexist of events. So in other words, you have the geocaching and Munzee together. What this host does Rob is he, he has the, the, the, the event itself for the half hour, one hour, whatever, at a particular park. go there, you get a sheet. Now it's the old school. Do you remember the old school car rallies where you get a group of people in the car and then you go from point A to point B and you got to take a photo of this. You got to take a, you know,

Rob (09:30.851)
Yeah?

Seemyshell (09:38.912)
a selfie with this, you've got to pick up a piece of trash like this and you get points for all the different tasks. That's what it is. It's an actual old school car rally or scavenger hunt style game. And what he's done this year is he's incorporating Munzee into it too. he's going to put out a Munzee trail. So if you want more points, you have to do the Munzee trail before you get in and jump in your car and do the scavenger hunt style game. So he's incorporating Munzee. And of course, I said to him straight away,

Rob (09:40.238)
Yeah.

Rob (09:44.312)
Right. Cool.

Rob (10:00.568)
Wow.

Seemyshell (10:07.298)
Get your referral code out there because there'll be people that haven't played Munzee at all ever in their life. They'll be downloading the app straight away at the event itself. Scan your QR code as a referral because you're putting it on the event. You're hosting the event. So I think it's a great concept. And again, people, if you're out there and you like this idea, hey, he's happy to sort of, for you to go, you know what? Just take it over, do your own thing with it too. That's a great idea, Rob. The more people, the better, I think. So there you go. Yeah.

Rob (10:19.588)
I like it. Yeah.

Rob (10:30.628)
That's cool.

Yeah, that sounds cool.

Seemyshell (10:35.68)
Yeah, I like that idea. that's a no New Jersey October 13th. Large events coming up as we always say, we'll get through these pretty quick. September 20th to 22nd, four events, the Munzee Mischief in Fort Worth, Texas. All the locations are live. I'll be attending that in January, Rob.

Rob (10:51.214)
January 16th to 19th, we've got Munzey Mecca. There's five events. That one's in Florida. Check it out.

Seemyshell (10:58.894)
And there's 24 listed that so far. So that's growing quite nicely. Next up we have Munzey Quest and Block Party, January 25th to 26th in Sydney, Australia. And again, that one's growing too with 14 and then Robin California.

Rob (11:12.057)
yes, back out to Southern California where Munzee Madness will be going on. That's March 8th and 9th, currently 6th. We know that that'll grow.

Seemyshell (11:20.11)
That grows. had to put this one in here, Rob May the third Munzee in Uranus because there's 14 and it's growing now because people what Rob people are traveling across from West to East you say because they kept traveling to Munstock and So that's the reason why there's a Dale and Barb are gonna be there as well so if you want to if you if you want to buy a cappy in Uranus then there you go and Next up we have May the 24th Munstock itself May the 24th and we all know where that is. That's in West, Virginia

Rob (11:32.878)
Alright.

Rob (11:37.38)
are they?

Seemyshell (11:49.39)
and then June 7th and 8th in Ohio hosting the SOS. And that's up to 21 now. And that's like, you know, a few months away. So good job. Again, if you're a host with a growing event, reach out to me please, if I haven't already noticed. All right, Rob, that's it for those times. Next, what's happening now with Munzee. Let's start off with the big pink blue elephant in the room. And that is tell everyone from a Munzee point of view, from the headquarters point of view, from the business point of view.

This whole update, everything was fine. think the whole update was perfectly fine, except for one thing, and that is the audio at the beginning. It's a slash noise slash music. And a lot of people don't like it out there. What's happening with that?

Rob (12:33.622)
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there was some feedback, lots of it very quickly with everything going on. However, this was a long weekend, Labor Day weekend. And so various members of our team, you know, took off different days of it. So there'll be work going in on that because the main thing that is wrong there is

Seemyshell (12:40.199)
You

Rob (13:01.86)
that the music overrides all settings on the phone so that it is playing. It is jumping in like in places and at times when it shouldn't be. So everyone can see that everyone knows that and it will be worked on. I do not know what the speed is because I haven't heard from everyone with the full report on what that's going to take for us to be sure that that it does respect.

Seemyshell (13:06.114)
Mm

Seemyshell (13:13.4)
Yes.

Rob (13:31.156)
phone settings, but we will be putting some work in on that. So that's the long and the short of it. I don't know much beyond that.

Seemyshell (13:32.782)
Mm

Seemyshell (13:38.542)
I mean, I look back, Robert, when we, first implemented, the Cappy and, and chasing the stars and the well wisps and all that sort of stuff too. And Cappy's got some, you know, song behind that, that Cappy itself, as you go and chase the stars, if you wish it there, but there's a toggle in the settings that allows you to toggle that music off. So you don't have any sound. So zero sound in your app itself or the Munzee app. I'm assuming they're probably just going to attach it to that sort of toggle.

Rob (13:54.489)
No.

Seemyshell (14:08.43)
and go from there. I'm just assuming that that's possibly.

Rob (14:09.388)
Yeah. I am really happy that I'm not the app builder and don't have to know anything about the thousand different types of phones and how Apple, Android, and all of them interact. Cause cause you know, that's the complexity behind it. So, I, I, I understand, I hear everyone. I feel a lot of things too, and, I, I totally get it. And we will be coming up with a way to make sure that,

Seemyshell (14:14.686)
yeah. Yeah.

Mm -hmm.

Rob (14:39.032)
that the app gives options and but more more than anything else. Like I said, it respects the rules of the phone, which shouldn't overplay other things automatically to my knowledge. No other apps do that. So yeah.

Seemyshell (14:54.062)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So there you go, people. You heard it here direct from the president's mouth. No more worried about complaining on the water cooler. It was really robbed over the last weekend. It really was a wine cooler. I'll just say that like it really, really was one, one message about it. Rob had 93 or 94 comments along that all the same lines, you know? so I knew it was going to happen. Rob, look, I'll be honest with you people. If you weren't around at the time,

Rob (15:07.702)
What?

Rob (15:18.564)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (15:22.958)
when Munzee, when you guys brought out the, the premium Skylands, for instance, in tree houses and, and what happened if you went around then basically what it was, was that you kept it and then you had to wait 12 hours to cap it again. And, and so everyone's like, hang on a second. That means I've got to set a timer. I've got to be at home. I've got to be there. I've got to be this Munzee. You guys heard that. It's probably not a good idea to have it at 12 hours. So you said it at midnight and midday MHQ time. So you could, you could literally cap it.

at 11 .59 PM MHQ time and then 12 .01 AM MHQ time. So within two minutes, you can cap it twice. So that's what I mean people, Munzee do listen to you, okay? So there's no need to keep on and on and on and on about it. That's what I'll say.

Rob (15:59.918)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (16:04.75)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (16:08.76)
they can and they can send in a thousand support tickets if they really, really, really want to. But all it does is just delays the work that we're going to do on Tuesday. you know, yeah, different, different members of the team that do those things, but they'll definitely figure it out whenever I respond to those tickets. have a feeling.

Seemyshell (16:11.852)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (16:16.79)
Because you've got to read the support text instead of working on the app. Exactly.

Yeah.

All right, Rob, we're going to move it on now from something bad to something really great. There you go. There we go. The new premium only teapot. And I'm thinking of taking that rise of teapots because a temporary player owned bouncer. If I'm right in saying this, it's the same as the squirrel was for the last few months, but this one is a tiger. Tell us about the tiger Rob.

Rob (16:33.693)
Yeah, nice one. Yeah, that's perfect.

Rob (16:41.848)
Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (16:49.516)
Yeah. So, you know, previously it was the clan squirrel that was the baby squirrel that was deployed for, you know, players that are premium that were going to level four and clam wars. So yeah, we've taken the baby tiger and because of a theme slash joke that we internally were talking about with great all of a sudden it was like, you know what, we have a baby tiger, let's use the baby tiger and turn them into being.

Seemyshell (16:54.029)
Mm

Seemyshell (17:16.972)
Yeah.

Rob (17:18.86)
So anyway, there he is. And yeah, he's in the redeem store. So everyone that is a premium member can find that it's in the premium section, obviously. Yeah. So go there.

Seemyshell (17:24.417)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (17:29.88)
tab. Yeah. Perfect. Perfect. And he does look very cute as does the squirrel. And I'm assuming we people, you're going to get more badges. You're going to get more badges as well. So, and it's not too late if you need to be premium Rob, it's not too late to go premium. And I think you said last time you're better off doing the premium online rather than in app because the in app doesn't recognize.

Rob (17:43.716)
Yep.

Rob (17:52.608)
Online. Yeah. Online you, you get the premium benefits, all of them, immediately. if you go through the app, and you're given a free seven day trial, then you have to wait until that trial ends and the payment is taken. That's when you become full premium. Yeah. Yep. So, so that's what it's all about. That is going to be archived at the end of the month, because this is that temporary one and you are correct.

Seemyshell (18:00.152)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (18:09.292)
beforehand. There you go. There you go.

Mm -hmm.

Rob (18:20.938)
Everyone who deploys one does get a badge. Not one person in the entire world has this badge. This is a brand new badge. So it's not like the squirrel where some people already had that one. This one is brand new only for this great tiger. Yeah.

Seemyshell (18:24.023)
Yes!

Seemyshell (18:27.783)
brand new! Mm -hmm. Brand new.

Now, keeping with the great theme, we're going to talk about the greeting cards and greenies. So we said it last week, Rob, as well, that greenies and greeting cards themselves are all double points every single day for the entire month. Now, I don't know about anyone else. I've been out there, Rob, yesterday, today, you know, every day this month so far and captured my greenie walk.

Rob (18:44.727)
Yes.

Seemyshell (19:06.152)
And yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm liking the double points Rob. I'm just saying, could get used to this, could get used to it.

Rob (19:09.604)
Yeah, it's pretty cool, huh? Right. Yeah, exactly. And you know, that's what's gonna happen. It's gonna be like, why don't we get those points permanently? Well, we've we've increased the points several times since the very beginning of the game. It's not time to do that yet. So yeah, for all 30 days of September, it's double points on greenies and greeting cards. We hope that everybody really enjoys this sort of a way to have double points, but not to overwhelm any specific weekend.

Seemyshell (19:21.006)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (19:38.472)
because, know, we've got the, we've got the, the events, the special events that are kicking off September 13th. And so we didn't want to, say, guess what? The, that weekend, the 13th through the 15th, that's going to be double points because you know, what would have happened? Everything would have been burned down. So.

Seemyshell (19:38.689)
ride

Seemyshell (19:46.339)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (19:53.325)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (19:58.788)
the, like the servers would have been fried and, and I, I promised, on internally, like, no, we're, we're going to take it a little bit easier. We're going to come up with a way to make things, not overwhelm a specific day. So we're hoping that this will keep it spread out.

Seemyshell (20:02.84)
Mm

Seemyshell (20:08.707)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (20:14.38)
Yeah, and yet

And it keep the players happy by giving the extra points that way. A quick question. Is it, is it premium members only or all members get double points? All? Everybody. There you go. There you go. Everyone double points on greenies and greeting cards. That's awesome work. Now, Rob, there is no other double or triple point weekends at all this month, is there? That was a question as well that came up on the water cooler. Yeah, nothing.

Rob (20:23.852)
No, everybody because everybody is great. Great. I mean, yeah.

Rob (20:39.076)
Nope. Mm -hmm. That's all. Just this one. I mean, just 30 days. Yeah.

Seemyshell (20:42.754)
That's all, that's all this. just this, that's all this. So every day people get out there and every day, yeah, just only the, only the every day for the entire month. People like, know, come on, come on. Exactly. another question was asked, I saw in the water cooler and this isn't on the show notes either. I just remembered it. And that is, someone said that someone very astute turned around and said, hang on a second, double points on greenies. But, but, but there's no curate requirements in, in clan wars.

Rob (20:51.222)
Alright, yeah.

Rob (21:11.064)
Yeah, isn't that great?

Seemyshell (21:13.656)
Did you, you, did you leave people asking, he must have left it out. He copied and pasted it except for that. No, it's on purpose on purpose.

Rob (21:17.772)
No. Nope. I left in the the crate disclaimer at the very bottom because do you know how many support tickets we get every single month, no matter what, like it's in there. And so maybe the fact that everyone's talking about the fact that that disclaimer is still in there, maybe more people will learn that you have to have your crates from the third through the end of the month. Maybe this will drive it home. What a trick, isn't it? It's terrible. Yeah.

Seemyshell (21:26.615)
Yes.

Seemyshell (21:30.255)
Seemyshell (21:41.346)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (21:46.542)
Well, Rob, I did myself a disservice because I dumped a curate too. I dumped a curate in between the two on the second. I dumped a curate. couldn't, I didn't even have to do it. I didn't have to dump. man. So really we're talking the curates are for the purpose though. They are a good purpose because obviously you get the cubimals, cubimals, whatever you want to talk about. You get those, or you can actually get things like

Rob (21:47.97)
Mm -hmm.

Rob (21:52.44)
Yeah.

Rob (21:57.474)
No. No.

Rob (22:06.562)
Mm -hmm, yeah. Right.

Seemyshell (22:12.398)
I've got magnets. I've seen magnets being given out before as well for OpenIQRate 2. there you go. there you go people. So, yeah.

Rob (22:14.852)
Okay. by the way, all, all the rest of the cubicles by the time people are listening to this, is entirely likely that all the cubicles will be redeemable. So that's part of the whole like go to the redeem store. You might find new things every now and then. Yeah, it's time. It's time because it's a great month.

Seemyshell (22:23.981)
Yeah?

What?

Rub.

Seemyshell (22:35.513)
Rob! Rob!

You promised us back in April and now you're coming through, but hey, at least you are coming through with it. You did say in, I think it was, might've been May. You did say, look, it's more work than what you thought it was going to be. Robbie told you, no, Robert, can't do that like straight away. There's a lot more work to do. So he's been, he's been at it, dare say. And, he's got his finger out and he's got the button going. So there you go people. So Friday, when this goes live, have a look in the redeem store. You might have more cubimals, carbimals.

Rob (22:42.028)
I Yeah.

Rob (22:47.79)
Yeah.

Rob (22:51.394)
Yeah. Mm -hmm. Yeah.

Rob (23:07.524)
Yeah, like it no only cubimals. Yes

Seemyshell (23:09.516)
However you want to say it to redeem. Tomato, tomato, let's call the whole thing off. All right, Rob, we're going to move on now to the Munzee Monthly Moments as well. That's a new month, a new month comes a new requirement. This requirement, Rob, if people don't know, you can supply, you can submit a video of yourself doing a particular requirement for Munzee, submit it through Cuppa Zee.

Rob (23:16.702)
Yeah, it's true. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (23:22.284)
yeah.

Seemyshell (23:36.896)
Every single month, every single person gets a badge. Every single person gets a card. You have chances like actual draw alive. I do a live draw live on air on YouTube and it's a real draw. We don't select it for those, for the few winners. There are a couple of selected winners, obviously with standouts, but then the rest of them are live drawn. So you can literally do just a basic, basic thing and still be in for prizes, real life.

prizes people. there you go. Well, digital prizes anyway, but yeah, get this in this month, Rob, it's all about colors with a change of seasons, both in the Northern and Southern hemisphere comes a change of color. So all you have to do, Rob, for people out there, record yourself either 60 seconds on YouTube, 90 seconds on Instagram, or three minutes on Tik TOK record it in a vertical position. You can either cap or deploy a Munzee either either makes a difference. Anything to do with color. mean,

The basic thing you can do, Rob, you could do this from home. You can literally just deploy a colored virtual and that would suffice for, for an entry. Would it be a winner? I dare say not. You know what I mean? Or you could, you could be, you could be having a beautiful walk one day, Rob, you know, and you had some clouds overcast, there's been some drizzle rain, the sun's breaking through and all of a sudden now you've got a rainbow. You can record a rainbow with the colors and then capping a Munzee. That's submissions you see. So.

Rob (24:39.364)
Wow. Wow.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Rob (24:54.468)
Ooh.

Rob (24:58.818)
I like it.

Seemyshell (25:00.57)
Think outside the box people anything to do with colors. This is why this is broad capping deploying any type of Munzee you want with some sort of color involved. That's how broad it is this month Rob. So we've got to get some numbers in. got your video in last month too I saw. Yeah.

Rob (25:12.718)
Great. Love it. Yeah, let's do it.

I know I did last month. did it very quickly. So I'm going to have to keep this in mind so that I can get it done the next couple of days because that I either do it the first few days or I don't do it at all. Yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (25:26.934)
Yeah, or you don't do it at all. Exactly. Mind you, Rob, I had three entries last month, three, three entries within the last half hour of the month. And all three of them were from the US. They weren't from overseas. Like they weren't from different countries that are awake at that time. No, they all three of them were from the US. Rob, what else we've got to discuss now in regards to something else coming up that you've got on here.

Rob (25:46.478)
That's funny. Nice. Well, that's good.

Rob (25:52.9)
Well, we had the August elemental challenge, right? The community challenge that we did and everyone did really well. We were very impressed. You met the 50 million points goal there. We have given winners like the person who had the top number for each of the different elements. We've given those badges out. We also have delivered the jolt guardian.

Seemyshell (25:58.485)
Mm

Seemyshell (26:05.763)
Mm

Rob (26:20.024)
to those people who earned that participation badge. and that happened during the, that's from the people who, you know, met the special requirements. Now I'm talking that we have done this as if current today, not current today for me and you, you know, by Friday. So yeah. So you can see the picture here. What do you think of that? This is jolt guardian. You see what he is.

Seemyshell (26:24.046)
home.

Seemyshell (26:30.359)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (26:34.156)
Yeah? No, no. Friday. Friday, of course.

Seemyshell (26:42.222)
I like him. like him. He's very much. Is it, it what actually? No. it's a battery. It's a, it's a battery. Yes. Yeah. I like it.

Rob (26:47.926)
Yeah, yeah, it's a battery. Yeah. So you got the charged sides, you know, so with electric. Yeah, this is where Dylan's mind went with with that one. So I thought it was super cool. Yeah, we all liked it a lot. And yeah, so congrats to the winners. Honestly, I was going to say the winners. So we may have to put that information out there next week, just so they can hear their name because well, honestly, cup is he is down right now.

Seemyshell (27:09.56)
Mm

Rob (27:15.364)
When we were recording, yeah, I was trying to pull the information and I couldn't get it. So Yeah, whoopsie

Seemyshell (27:16.022)
what?

Seemyshell (27:20.8)
Sam. He's probably having an afternoon nap, dare say. there you go. Yeah, yeah. He's very quick. That's all right. That's all right. Next week, you'll hear more about that. So Rob, moving on now to the question of the week. And this one here comes from Minions Are Cool. And he listens to this podcast every single week. It was on Facebook. Great guy. It comes from Facebook and he says, very good.

Rob (27:25.304)
I don't know. He knows, he knows that it's down, but yeah, it's no backup. So too bad. well, we'll say it again. Yeah.

Rob (27:42.51)
Hi Kyle. Yeah. Yeah.

Seemyshell (27:49.87)
Point two, and that is why don't people drop off Rovers on Munsies anymore? So let's discuss Rovers a little bit more. We've got a few minutes left, but Rovers, what are they? If people don't know, if they're new, because they came out, you know, back in 2017 or 18. So four, five years ago. Yeah. Yeah.

Rob (28:06.388)
yeah, they're, they're really old. Yeah. no, it's longer than that actually. Isn't it? Yeah. Four, four years is 2020. so yeah, it's been like seven years at least seven or eight. so yeah, the Rovers are a, like a digital tracking pet basically that you can drop off on a Munzee. Someone else, another player can pick it up. They can take it on a, on a journey and it earns Rover points.

Seemyshell (28:14.848)
yeah.

Mm

Seemyshell (28:24.269)
Mm

Rob (28:32.676)
for distance for the number of moneys that interacts with for the number of players that it interacts with. We haven't done any updates to this Rover system in about as many years as Rover has been alive. So it would be nice. Yes. If we overhauled that actually Rover hall because we did have a Rover. Yeah, we had a Rover hall several years ago and we came up with a few new things for Rover to do, but the new things had nothing to do with like

Seemyshell (28:46.421)
Wow

Seemyshell (28:52.415)
look at you.

Rob (29:01.602)
dropping him off, actually meant that you needed to hold on to Rover. So you can use Rover treats, for example, so that he can go get scatters and different types of moneys. So yeah, that that's sort of the very base and the newer gameplay. But the the question that he asks about why don't people drop them off?

Seemyshell (29:17.025)
Mm

Rob (29:23.458)
There was a Facebook group dedicated to like people, you know, transporting Rovers and all that. So it's a separate layer of gameplay that there is a passionate group that actually does really involve really enjoy moving Rovers around. However, it's not everyone and it is not a play. Everyone play this way. That's not how Rover goes for a lot of people. Yeah.

Seemyshell (29:28.525)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (29:44.397)
Yeah.

Seemyshell (29:47.82)
No, that's fair enough. I looked into it more after he asked the question because I think it was a good question as well. And I learned myself a lot more about them. I had a look at my inventory and I, you can, you do it mostly online. Do you don't do it in the app? You do it all in online itself on a computer, but to pick them up, you have to pick them up through the app because you have to be near the physical Munzee. That's the best way to think about it. But I looked, Rob, I've got a whole, I've got a whole group of them. I didn't realize I had like eight or nine Rovers and I'm like, what the.

Rob (29:59.876)
Right.

Rob (30:13.166)
Do you?

Seemyshell (30:17.004)
People, if you've got more than one Rover out there, all I'll say is this, keep one Rover because you need at least one Rover too with Rover treats to actually extend your radius. However, place, I've done it this morning, Rob. I placed all the other Rovers around my clan members and I had one clan member message me with a photo saying, what's this Craig? I'm like, there you go. See? So yeah.

Rob (30:32.345)
Cool.

Seemyshell (30:38.594)
Place them around, you can place them around the world on greenies themselves and do it for your clan members so they can pick Rover up and then they can go and take them around as well. Hopefully we get a little bit more Rover action around the world and that would keep a lot of, a lot of people happy I dare say. And, know, and again, it's another level to the game. So there you go.

Rob (30:56.162)
It is. fun to see where they might travel and get dropped off and how many miles and that kind of thing. Yeah, it is fun.

Seemyshell (31:00.51)
Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. So there you go, Kyle. I hope that helps. And I hope that answer your question a little bit and brings to light as well, Rob, a little bit more Rover action. We'll just say that. And it will finish today, Rob, with the Munzee tip of the week. And that is if you don't have a Rover, get one. What do you think about that? It was easy one. It's it's it's coincides with it. And if you if you see one, pick it up.

Rob (31:17.508)
That was easy, yeah.

Rob (31:22.638)
So.

yeah, yeah, pick them up for sure. So the, they're available in the in -app store so you can get them for zeds. so you can save those up and, use them there. You can also buy them, through the online store. So available in both places. But yeah. if, if you have already capped a Munzee, then the Rover is sitting there on as if it's a red Munzee. So you're like, what is this? If you've already capped it, you only have to get within the 300 feet and you can pick that Rover up.

Seemyshell (31:31.104)
Mm -hmm. Okay.

Seemyshell (31:38.702)
There you go. Both places.

Rob (31:54.008)
You can also drop them off the same way. Yeah. If you look into rovers, there's a lot, there's a lot of leveling that happens and you can drop them off on motels and virtuals and stuff like that. So people, people really cared about this and it is fun, but it's a, it's a much higher level aspect of the game for sure.

Seemyshell (31:56.545)
Mm -hmm.

Seemyshell (32:03.278)
Yeah.

Wow.

Seemyshell (32:15.054)
There you go people. So Rob that ends another official Munzee podcast.
