Munzee Rover

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 a new group of people a new goal to chase.  Rover is not a type of Munzee.  He is transported from one Munzee to the next by players.

How to interact with a Rover?

• fetch it

• only if it is at a munzee, the rover is active and a goal is set

• can be fetched by every player except the player who unleashed it there

• if the user has captured the munzee that currently holds the rover

• via app, shows rovers that are currently at a captured munzee and their distance and bearing to the current goal (bearing means compass direction like NNE or S)

• 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

• via app

• on a munzee that was captured/deployed within the last 15 minutes

• can not be unleashed on the munzee it was dropped straight before

• if the rover is unleashed at the goal munzee, it’s 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

• write a note

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