I'm always looking for fun stuff to do with the kids either after work or on our trips. Much like geocaching it's a scavenger hunt to find these codes. Some are hidden really well & actually if your looking for a geocach there can be some Munzees close by. Which adds to the fun. I use my iPhone and if we're at a park or camping I'll pull up the map for both just to see what's out there and usually there's a lot. As with geocaches you can deploy your own and seeing that there small you can place them anywhere. You can print your own or buy them. There's other stuff like that you can buy of course it costs $30 for a year. Since I've always got my iPhone with me it didn't seem that bad when you stumble on one and you just scan it with the app and you get points. You get points when you capture,deploy & when someone captures your Munzees.Whats on the app?There's a map of where Munzees are located it uses your GPS so have a spare battery. A achievement page of badges and special Munzees you've caught. Your capture page were you scan Munzees you find and a page for your Munzees, ones you've deployed. It's fun it gets you out and walking around searching.Our First CaptureWe were hanging out at one of our parks here and my son and I decided to look for a geocach so we were walking and there was to many muggles around. I decided to turn the Munzeeapp on and there was on just a few feet from us. So the hunt was on we searched little while and there it was the code. (Location won't be compromised) we both were pretty excited when we found it.It's nice to add to the arsenal of fun stuff to do outside. So go check it out atand have some fun!
