Event Finished

Overview
Come sit down on the tram and cap all the cards along the route.
I’ll be deploying all the event pins outside the stations in zones 3 to 4 at Priestfield, The Cresent, Loxdale, Bradley Lane, both Wednesbury stops & Black Lake (so avoiding Birmingham, but cards will still end up there).
This event will have its own custom badge (with an extra 50 slices of cake).
The tram only goes two ways, to Birmingham (Edgbaston Village) or to Wolverhampton (Wolverhampton Station). A day ticket (1 Day off-peak Metro) for all four zones costs £5 (it’s going up to £5.40 after the event weekend), and you can get on/off as much as you want. There are now ticket machines at every stop, but you can still pay on the tram with cash or card. They run all day, every 8 to 15 min.
If the trams stop working, they get them running again quite quickly. If they don’t, message me (toxen), and I’ll help you get back.
Need more to cap? I have another two events running on the same day:
At East Park (your bog standard Munzee event): https://toxen.uk/e/trio-at-east-park/
Where are the Munzee’s? (All Munzze’s will be hidden): https://toxen.uk/e/trio-where-are-the-munzees/
Event Route
The Tram line is about 15 miles long, has 32 stops, and takes about 60 minutes to ride the length of it (the length of two virtual capture boosters).
I’ll put the event pins in zones 3 to 4 at Priestfield, The Cresent, Loxdale, Bradley Lane, both Wednesbury stops & Black Lake.
Most of the stops have paths that follow the tram line, which I will also create a map/list of so you can hop off and cap more slowly if the tram is too quick.

Walking Map
The green footsteps represent paths directly next to the tram track, orange is walkable but not directly next to track.
Eat & Drink
There are plenty of places to stop off along the way, a few to note:
Edgbaston Village (The last stop): Has a big Morrisons with cafe and loos.
Brindleyplace: Lots of very nice places to eat!
Grand Central: Plenty of places to eat.
West Bromwich Central: Big shopping centre across the road from the tram stop.
Bilston: The Tram stop is on the edge of the high street. Loos are in the indoor market. Plenty of places to eat, warning most chippies do orange chips.
Pipers Row/Wolverhampton Station: Loos in the bus station and various places to eat.
New to the Area?
There have been quite a few events nearby with plenty of Munzees to cap if you haven’t visited before:

Deploy Locations
The event site is about 15 miles long. Here is a convenient list of all the tram stops.
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.
