Unlike most Virtual Munzees, Places Munzees must be deployed via the Web Map. This is because Places Munzees must be reviewed by an MHQ staff member before they can appear in the app due to the powerful advantage of being cappable by players (except the deployer) once per MHQ day.
How to Deploy Places
- Make sure you are logged in on the Munzee website: https://www.munzee.com/
- Head to https://www.munzee.com/map/

- On the top-right side of the map, click [Sandbox]
- A new menu will appear in the same area. Click on [new Munzee]
- A gray pin should appear in the middle of the map. Click and drag the pin to exactly where you'd like to deploy your Places Munzee
- HINT: when deploying your Places munzee look for a designated icon on Google Maps. This makes the approval process much easier.
