Its kind of like geocaching in that you use a GPS except when you find the QR code you scan it with your smart phone. For every find you get points. I don&#8217;t know what the points get you. You have to have a smart phone equipped with a GPSr as there does not appear to be any way to claim a Munzee without scanning it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jb1x3lVhsTY\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">It was kind of fun finding the little M<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Munzee\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Munzee\">unzee<\/a> QR&#8217;s and scanning them and there seems to be lots of them scattered around shopping areas and fake food restaurants but I don&#8217;t think that I&#8217;ll go out of my way to find them.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">One problem I see is that there is no way to report back to munzee dot com if a QR code has gone missing. With geocaching, people log &#8220;did not finds&#8221; (aka dnf&#8217;s) and that lets the owner of the cache know that there might be a problem. I&#8217;ve already come across a missing QR code. I can see where the sticker used to be and it is gone for some reason. So how do I let the owner know that it is gone? There isn&#8217;t a way.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Also, it is very commercial and it seems that the whole thing is to get businesses to put out Munzees to lure us unsuspecting consumers into their stores in order for them to flog their merchandise, services, and food to us. I don&#8217;t know about you but that doesn&#8217;t sound like recreation to me.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Bottom line is that I&#8217;ll find Munzees when Sweetie is in Dress Barn and I don&#8217;t have anything else to do.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Below is the track of my meandering 5.72 mile route.
