What is Rover?

FB_RoverCover.png

Rover is a supplemental piece to the game. A game within the game of Munzee. Not something to add Munzee points but give some people a new goal to chase. Rover is not a type of Munzee. He is transported from one Munzee to the next by players.

Rovers:

  • are owned by one player
  • have a name, description, logo/icon
  • have a goal to reach
  • have a score and level
  • have two states:
    • is at a munzee
    • is at a player
  • can be deactivated by the owner
    • can not be retrieved from a munzee until it gets reactivated
  • have to be unleashed by their owners on appropriate munzee based on level (more info below!) to get into the game
    • via app after a capture or deploy OR
    • via computer on every first unleash for a goal
  • will be reset to the last active munzee it was unleashed at if the munzee it was at gets undeployed / archived

What Are the Benefits of Munzee-ing With a Rover?

How to Set Up Your Rover

Check out this video made by the CZeeO himself!

How Can I Set a Goal?

If you're setting up your Rover for the first time, please refer to the video above!

Otherwise, here are the steps -- please note that setting goals is online only.

  1. Make sure you are logged in to the Munzee website: https://www.munzee.com/
  2. Go to your Profile
  3. Under [Kennel], click [Pack]
  4. Click on your desired Rover
  5. Scroll down the page to make sure your Rover is currently at a munzee -- a new goal can only be set if the Rover is currently at a munzee, not at a player
  6. Scroll back up and click on [Admin] --> [Set Goal]
  7. From here, you can enter in the URL of your desired goal munzee and click [Check], or just click the [Free to Roam] button
    1. If you entered in a URL and clicked [Check]:
      1. If the munzee is the wrong type for the Rover's level:
        1. You will see an error message once the page reloads: "the rover needs a higher level to be unleashed at a munzee of this type"
      2. If the munzee is the right type:
        1. The next page will show how far your Rover will have to travel with a map, calculated distance, and the points it will receive if the goal is met (more info on how the points are calculated below!)
        2. Click on [Set this Goal] to confirm!

Some other things to know about goals:

  • only one goal can be active at a time
  • a goal = a munzee to visit / to be unleashed at, otherwise "Free to Roam"
  • owner can change goals an unlimited number of times
  • we keep track of old goals
  • if owner fetches Rover goal is reset

What Can I Do With a Rover in the App?

For a blast from the past, you can see another video made by the CZeeO here: http://youtu.be/dUNKhdzV2lY

Please note that that video shows a much older version of the Munzee app -- the current app's buttons and other elements are laid out in a different way. However, the information should still be accurate for the most part!

Otherwise, here's a list:

  • fetch it
    • only if:
      • it is at a munzee
      • the rover is active
      • a goal is set
      • the user has captured the munzee that currently holds the rover
    • can be fetched by every player except the player who unleashed it there
  • reset it
    • the owner can reset the rover once a week to the latest active munzee it was unleashed at before (due to inactivity or at owner’s discretion)
    • the owner can reset the rover back into his hands once a week. the current goal gets also reset (due to inactivity or at owner’s discretion)
  • unleash it
    • only if:
      • it is at a player
      • on a munzee that you have captured/deployed
      • can not be unleashed on the munzee it was dropped straight before
    • if the rover is unleashed at the goal munzee, its goal is set as reached and it can’t be fetched again before the owner sets a new goal
    • there can be unlimited rovers at one munzee

What Else Can I Do With a Rover On the Website?

  • write a note
    • every player can write notes / journal entries on a rover

How Can Rovers Earn Points?

  • Complete goal = points determined by formula:
    • 0 points if less than 50 miles
    • 1 point if 51-250 miles
    • 3 points if 251-500 miles
    • 10 points if 501-1000 miles
    • 15 points if 1001-2500 miles
    • 50 points if 2501+ miles
  • Travel 1000 miles = 1 point
  • Moved by 10 different players = 1 point
  • Visit 50 Munzees = 1 point

How Can Rovers Level Up?

  • Rover can level up by completing goals
  • 100 points per level
