What is Rover?
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?
- any player carrying a Rover has
- a chance to "dig up" Jewel Shards when capping Jewel Munzees
- the ability to extend the capture radius for certain munzees using Rover Treats

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.
- Make sure you are logged in to the Munzee website: https://www.munzee.com/
- Go to your Profile
- Under [Kennel], click [Pack]
- Click on your desired Rover
- 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
- Scroll back up and click on [Admin] --> [Set Goal]
- From here, you can enter in the URL of your desired goal munzee and click [Check], or just click the [Free to Roam] button
- If you entered in a URL and clicked [Check]:
- If the munzee is the wrong type for the Rover's level:
- 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"
- If the munzee is the right type:
- 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!)
- Click on [Set this Goal] to confirm!
- If the munzee is the wrong type for the Rover's level:
- If you entered in a URL and clicked [Check]:
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
- only if:
- 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
- only if:
What Else Can I Do With a Rover On the Website?
- write a note
- every player can write notes / journal entries on a rover
