We went on a road trip this weekend gone and found a cache that contained a 'Munzee'. I'd never heard of these before, but I downloaded the app to my iPhone and scanned the QR code. Instantly, I received some points for the scan (the 'capture') and my interest was piqued. We picked up a couple more over the weekend and the idea has stuck.
According to the website: "Munzee is a real world scavenger hunt game where players are rewarded for finding and capturing hidden objects." The objects are actually printed QR codes - those 3D barcodes that have appeared everywhere - that are then stuck to objects. I've only found them stuck on the back of signs so far.
I was in London for work today and went out - despite the rain - into territory round my office where I have found all the Geocaches in search of Munzees. I found loads, including some virtual ones, and even got First To Find for a couple. This is a very new game in this country and I'm pretty interested in seeing where it goes.
I'm about to head out into the rain to deploy my own first Munzee in a moment. I suggest you check out the website and get involved!
