Just incase anyone is thinking of doing this, thought I’d better mention that you can’t take a photo to scan later as you have to capture the QR code using the munzee ap on your phone and when you do this the GPS in the phone tracks that you are at the correct location. So, capturing the munzee later and not in the location of the munzee doesn’t work and the ap is programmed not to allow the capture.
I’m not sure I agree that an inexperienced cacher would mistake a munzee for a cache, people who cache tend to know they are looking for a container. I agree it is odd to use the same name, especially if you don’t also own the cache ….. although thinking about it a non cacher could place a munzee at a known landmark and use the landmarks name without knowing anything about a cache there with the same landmark name; and if a cacher was also setting a Munzee they may want to use the same name at the same place.
They don’t have to have containers, just the QR code. I’ve noticed a few around that Lord Darcy has placed near other caches which seems fine to me. If you collect them and don’t cache you wouldn’t know the cache was there and if you do go caching as well you get two for the price of one [:)]
Similar to geocaching but based on QR codes. You need a smart phone to play it. Download the ap and capture the QR code. GPS on the phone checks you are in the correct location to prevent cheating. Seems to be gaining in popularity as I’m noticing caches are also beginning to have a munzee to capture in them, or there is a munzee near the location.
