Overview
It’s your bog standard Munzee event, with easy-to-find pins and plenty to cap.
This event will have a swapping seasons badge (with an extra 100 slices of cake, Emerald per attendee and a 25% Discount code for the Munzee store).
There are toilets in the park (the dark green/black building in the centre).
Parking is on the road in the park itself, on Parklands Road or just on the surrounding roads.
There is no cafe in the park, but a quick walk down to the A51, you will find pubs, Burger King, cafes and corner shops. Or if you go up to the A454, you will find a few pubs and takeaways.
About 25 event pins will be deployed in the park, and the remaining 25 will be on the road outside the park (for people really wanting to collect all the cake they can get)
If you are coming to socialise, meet at 11:30 at the bandstand (52.5786, -2.0996) in the park! There will be light refreshments.

New to Events?
There are normally a handful of Munzee events happening each week, some are run by Munzee and others are run by Munzee players. Munzee keep a list of them all here.
How Munzee events work
The start time is when the special event pins (a type of trail) will show up on the app map (they are physical QR codes that you will go and find, and then scan with the app).
What to expect when arriving
If you’re about at the start of the event, there is a good chance you will bump into other players and the hosts of the event are normally around to say hello and answer any questions.
At the location of the pink event indicator you will want to find two physical QR codes to scan, they are normally attached to something and quite obvious. The event QR codes will be left in place for 24 hours, so if you want to come later or when nobody is around, you are more than welcome to.
So get the Munzee app up and open the scanner and scan both the codes.
You should now have on your app map the event pins to find.
If you go to the filter menu at the bottom of the app, you can filter to only show what you want to see, ie. physicals only / virtuals only / event pins only etc.
I personally tend to arrive a little early and find some strategic benches to sit down on while I capture all the virtuals in the area. Then, when the event goes live, filter the app to only show physical Munzees (and event pins), complete the event trail and capture any other physicals along the way, then swap back to showing virtual only.
When you capture the physical event pins they will reward you with points and virtual cake slices. The cake slices can then be used to redeem items here (click the events tab on this page).
Events usually get the attention of Munzee players from across the globe, and they will deploy loads of virtual Munzees near and around the event site in the hope of getting loads of points when the attendees capture them. This also makes the map really busy if you have the filers set to show you everything, so its good to use the filters to limit what you see.
To note, this is how I’m doing my events, other events may be different.
New to Munzee?
Munzee is the next generation in global scavenger hunt games. Track down QR Codes hidden in the real world and capture them for points. – taken directly from the Munzee website.
If you haven’t got the free app yet, get it:
In its simplest form it’s a scavenger hunt, and you’re looking for QR codes. There are two main types of Munzee to find, physicals (they show up square on the map) and virtuals which are circular.
Physicals you need to scan a QR code at that location, virtuals you need to be in the proximity to capture it.
Within that, there are plenty of different types with their own sets of rules, and all the info can be found here and here.
Seemyshell has a series of video guides that I would recommend:
My best advice if you’re just starting is to go out and find some. The app will flag if you’re too far away to capture something, so just give it a go. Don’t get too bogged down with all the different types just yet.
Scan this code to get your first 50 points.
