Ever see a code like this or a similar one? If you have a smartphone, then I bet you've scanned one before. Some companies use them to promote their products or give you more information. Munzee is another outdoor game similar to geocaching but this time you use your smartphone to scan for points. Yep, there's an app for it too! Check out the website and download the app. Then scan the munzee on this page to score your first points and get your first MUNZEE (compliments of the support site)! Some areas of the United States have more munzees deployed than others but if you travel, it's a quick way to score some points and see some sites. I've learned through munzeeing that most munzees are on telephone poles, or sides of buildings, but definitely not in the direct wide open. And most that I've scanned don't have the green border around them either. In fact some munzees are virtual, which means that there isn't a bar code to scan. Instead you have to be within about 300 feet of a landmark to "capture" and score the points.
This summer while at a geocaching event I ran into a man who was munzeeing. Turns out he was ranked pretty high in points for the game. In fact, he was within the top three in the world. I just checked my app and now I see he's in the top 30. Me? Um....I'm on level 6 and the top player is on level 101. About a month ago there were only 3 munzee's in my area. A month later there are now 9. The adventure is growing....one munzee at a time.
