Places Munzee

Places munzees are virtual game pieces to be positioned at locations that may be of interest all around the world. These munzees can be captured once per MHQ day. You do not have to wait 24 hours before you can re-cap it, e.g. you can capture it at 11:30 MHQ time on Monday and 9:21 MHQ time on Tuesday.

Each capture of a Places Munzee will earn you 20 points.

Places Munzees are NOT blastable. 

Players can deploy their Places munzee from the online Munzee map. Only one Places munzee may be deployed at each location, so you may have to get creative with where you deploy these. Once you deploy the munzee it will then be sent to an MHQ staff member for approval. Places deploys will be approved within 24-48 hours, but these are manually approved, so please be patient. Once your deploy is approved or denied you’ll receive an email notification.

Points:

Deploy: 40
Capture: 20
Cap On: 10

General Guidelines:

• Places Munzees cannot be deployed within a mile of the same type, but can be deployed within a mile of another type.
• You cannot cap your own Places munzee.
• You will deploy Places munzees from your account, so you will get the points when people cap it. These may be capped by players once per MHQ 24 hour time period so there is potential for a lot of cap-on points.
• Places munzees are not blastable.
• Each* has a 1,000 ft capture radius. (*This does not include airports which have a 1 mile capture radius.)
• Can be captured once per 24 hour MHQ day by players.
• There are a limited amount of each type of Places munzees for sale.
• Places munzees will cost $10 each and players are limited to purchase one of each type per account every 30 days.
• For quicker approval, descriptively name your Places deploy so we can easily tell if it fits the criteria. 
• When deploying your Places munzee look for a designated icon on Google Maps. This makes the approval process much easier.
• Deploy your Places munzee at entrances and other areas that are easily accessible for other players. For example, don't deploy your Stadium Places munzee in the middle of the field. 
• If your Places munzee deploy is declined, you will receive a brief explanation as to why in the followup email.
• Even if your location was available at the time of deployment it may be taken by another player who selected that location before you.
• If your Places munzee deploy is denied, you’ll still be able to resubmit, but please consider the notes the approver listed for the denial.
• UPDATE 3/05/2019 - Disney Properties are off-limits for Place Munzee deploys. Previous deploys will remain, but going forward from this date there will be no more allowed.
