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 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.

Munzee Rover is:

  • owned by one player

  • has name, description, logo/icon

  • has a goal to reach

  • has score and level

  • has a type (e.g. normal, golden, etc.)

  • has 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

  • has to be unleashed by its owner on appropriate munzee based on level (via app after a capture or deploy or via computer on every first unleash for a goal) to get into the game

  • reset the rover to the latest active munzee it was unleashed at if the munzee it is currently dropped at gets undeployed / archived

Goals

  • one goal is active

  • a goal = a munzee to visit / to be dropped at

  • owner can change goals unlimited

  • we keep track of old goals

  • a new goal can only be set if the Rover is currently at a munzee, not at a player

  • if owner fetches Rover goal is reset

  • determine & display number of points to be earned for the goal by distance

    • 0 points if less than 50 miles

    • 1 point if 51-250 miles

    • 3 points if 251-500 miles

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
