WallaBoo! 2018

Hello Collectors,

We’re nearing yet another MHQ Bash. As this year’s event lands near Halloween, the theme is MH-BOO Bash! All events can be seen on Munzee’s Calendar, including WallaBoo! That’s right, we’ll be gathering with both new and familiar faces, October 27th, 2018. The specific location for this event is still TBA, but will remain in the surrounding McKinney area. Additional information about this event will be made available here on the blog as well as on the Event Page.

To make WallaBash even more special this year, we’re testing uncharted water. At past events, we have given a Unique Item to those in attendance, released a new Unique Item during an event, and given a special variant for a Unique Item for those in attendance… but this takes all of those ideas to the next level. In addition to the fun that’s being planned for our WallaBash event, participants will have the opportunity to purchase a WallaBash add-on to the event: Own and distribute your very own Personalized Halloween Player Unique for $50!

Registering for Bash Weekend

Now, in order to purchase this special Unique, you have to attend MH-BOO Bash weekend. There are Free and Paid MH-BOO Bash Packages available for signup. Please enter your Munzee Username for the registration. If you do not have a Munzee Username, you can use the username ‘WallaBee’ and add your WallaBee username in the notes.

Once your selected package is in your cart, you can add the WallaBash Personalized Halloween Unique. Please use the username ‘WallaBee’ and add your WallaBee username in the notes. Adding your WallaBee username to the item will not work. We will be assigning the Unique to each owner at a later date, and will reference the notes for all orders.

Personalized Halloween Player Unique Details

There are six different item designs to choose from. The Player Unique will be personalized with your username in the artwork, to add that special flair and make it pop as your own! This offer will continue until September 17th at 3pm WHQ, at which point the registration offers will end. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to add a spooky Player Unique of your very own to your collection!

  • In order to purchase this item, you must be attending MH-BOO Bash with either a free or paid package.
  • This opportunity is available one (1) per person.
  • Unique ownership is nontransferable between accounts.
  • You will have all distributive rights to your Unique once it is added to your account, with exception of offering it through Foraging, Uncanny Uniques, and/or Market resale.
  • There is no cap to how many you can distribute.
  • This offer is specifically for a personalized Halloween-themed Unique, not a custom Unique commission. Alterations to the design of the Unique are not available.

Weekly Buzz – 07/27/18

Hello Collectors,

How did your sandcastle-building go? Lose too many spades and buckets in the process? No one said that making art was easy, but the community did a great job! All of the mixes were found within 30 minutes of the official’s “whistle.” We were thoroughly impressed by how quickly everything took place, considering there were no hints given as to which references you would need. Well done!

Behind the Curtain

Are you planning on attending WallaBash in October? The first WallaBash took place last year during Munzee’s MHQ Bash. With the excellent turnout, we have saved a place to do a second WallaBash this year. More information on this will be available very soon. We hope to see you there!

There’s one more item left in Weed ‘Em And Reap! If you were around during Friday the 13th, you know what it is. Once the last item goes live, we won’t have any sets live. Oh no! What are we to do? I suppose we should release our next set! Grab your keys, some snacks, and visit the restroom… because we’re hitting the open road! We’d hate to have a 10-100 this soon into the drive.

Unique Spotlight – QoD

Calor in habeas Igloo oleum in lucernam, et pax in corde tuo.

Owner: QueenofDNile

How To Get: She is available for missing Uniques at this time! DD are set back for the rarest of Uniques!

Meaning: I do not like to have photos taken of myself so therefore I have a small Inuit doll I carry with me to use as a photo avatar for Geocaching. She has 3 faces which I change depending on the type of cache log I am creating. If you see her in person ask to see the many Faces of QoD.

Which number Unique is this for you? This is my second Unique.

Closing Thoughts: QoD is also featured with Gaius the Wonder Corgi!

Weekly Buzz – 07/20/18

Hello Collectors,

We’re in sunny California today, in preparation for tomorrow’s FTHQ Cirque Du Munz 7th Birthday Celebration at Irvine Regional Park! Do you know anyone who’s going to be in attendance? There’s a fun California-themed variant of 7th Munzee Birthday Unique to be had for attending (we’ve highlighted it below).

Behind the Curtain

So, last Friday… We jinxed ourselves by mentioning the Bad Bandana in last week’s blog. It seems that planning ahead on Friday the 13th was a bad thing, as the database decided it would be better to release every item we had in reserve at the same time, a week or two before their actual release date. If you weren’t around for the madness, don’t worry about it! It’s in the past. The good news on this topic is it should have been fixed by now, and shouldn’t happen again. Cross your fingers!

Do you have your section of beach saved for the upcoming sand castle competition? Don’t forget a few spades and buckets; we’d hate for you to fall behind on resources during your build! Since you already have your Sand Plot reserved, all you’re waiting for is the official’s whistle to blow, at which point it’s a race to the finish. Prepare yourselves with some points of reference for your art. Let’s dig in!

What do you get when you mix a Bull Dog and Aviator Shades?

Hello Collectors,

Cake or pie? Why not a piecaken? Mmmm… Sounds like we have a tasty new Unique to design.

Behind the Curtain

How was your weekend? Did you make lots of wishes to receive Patriotic Mystery Boxes? Regardless of how much you participated, we hope you enjoyed the festivities. A small shoutout to Rupal, who made 91 Patriotic Mystery Boxes with their Hope #639. Very impressive!

As mentioned in a previous Weekly Buzz, there’s a sandy competition happening at the beach! Make sure you’re prepared with the tools of your trade, and a point of reference or two, if you plan on participating in the fun. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

*not a real item

Saturday is funday around WHQ! We’re celebrating Munzee’s 7th Birthday with an event in Allen, TX. Although the true focus is on Munzee, we’ll be celebrating with a commemorative Unique for all players! A special variant will be made available for those in attendance at either the TX or CA event. Don’t trade it away, because you’ll only get one!

Do you love the gnome in Weed ‘Em And Reap? You can now show off this beautiful little guy on a brand new t-shirt in the online store! We’ve also added a few other physical products to our shelves, including WWH2O beach towels and Pouch Creature evolution t-shirts. Take a look! Want to see other new designs? Submit your suggestion.

Minor adjustments have been made to the Wishing Well, capping wishes to 60. There is no added benefit to wish counts over 50, so we’ve made this adjustment to help players save precious resources.

This Week In WallaBee History | July 9th – 15th

July 10th, 2012: The first Branded items were released into the game! These items included: Highlights Icon, Sheep Up!, Nakrum, ExpenseMagic Wand, Mangatar, and ItemBrowser Icon.

July 12th, 2012: Cowboy Boots was the first item to kick off Foraging at Fort Griffin. Who knew this item would be so rare?

July 13th, 2015: Bad Bandana happened. The first in an ever-growing mini series of ‘bad’ items. These come about when a set item release really messes up and a Unique sounds more fun than a botched item release. It’s not a great part of our history, but it is history. When things go wrong, we do our best to make them right. Thanks for keeping with us through thick and thin.

July 14th, 2016: We were still plagued by the annoying Friend Bug and 512 errors. Luckily, we don’t deal with those exact issues anymore. If it’s not something, it’s another. One step at a time.

Unique Spotlight – Kopjafa

A traditional Székely (Hungarian) tombstone from Transylvania:
“This marks the starting point as well as the final destination of a lifelong journey.”

Owner: botte

How To Get: It’s traded for missing Uniques.

Meaning: Commemorate the owner’s birthplace and the journey of our lives.

Which number Unique is this for you? This is my first Unique.

Closing Thoughts: It was released as a mystery Item through a special account without info about who’s Unique it was. It rendered a lot of interest and more than 100 comments in a few days. I would love to have this as a Legacy Item 🙂

Patriotic Mystery Boxes

Hello Collectors!

Beginning tomorrow, July 4th, Patriotic versions of Mystery Boxes will be available through mixing Hope with ANY Miniest Mystery Box!

This special mix will be available through the 8th, so take advantage of it while it’s here! Don’t stock up on too many Hope items, as Hope will also survive the mix! Hope’s description will also change based on how many Patriotic boxes you’ve made, so you can show off how many Patriotic boxes you’ve made. In addition to this fun mix, Miniest Mystery Boxes will appear more frequently as a reward from claiming wishes from Wishing Wells.

Have a great and safe weekend, wherever you reside!
