Munzee?

Well after a friend captured a couple of these I decided to give it a try.  There are not very many around but they are catching on and a neat alternative to geocaching. They are only available where there is cell coverage and usually in urban areas which is handy for both hiding and capturing.  Also no conflict with geocaching so you can put a munzee right on top of a geocache. I am hesitant to place a Munzee on or in a geocache as a Munzee collector who is not a geocacher would have access to geocaches. 

What is a Munzee?  Well their website describes it as this..

Munzee is a real world scavenger hunt game where items are found in the real world and captured using your smartphone. You then level up and gain rank based on your score. Points are obtained by capturing other people's munzees or when your deployed munzees are captured by someone else. Munzee is based off of the fundamentals of geocaching and adds another layer of fun to the hunt. Badges can be earned by unlocking specific achievements.

What do munzees look like?

Munzees come in any size or shape but all must contain a QR-code style barcode. The barcode combined with your GPS coordinates are the essential gameplay elements of munzee.

Munzees can be hidden in containers, camouflaged or even in plain view. They can also be found at your favorite local business. 

 

I have hidden a few around Campbell River now so they are up for grabs.  However you use your phone to hide so the coordinates may not be exact. I try to put a good clue in the description
