Freeze Tag, a leading creator of location-based mobile social games, has launched a new community outreach project with the Town of Snowmass Village’s Tourism Department, located in Colorado, using the Eventzee scavenger hunt app. Utilizing Eventzee technology, the “Snowmass Mountain Mission” is a unique engagement experience that guides locals and tourists alike throughout the scenic mountain village in colorful Colorado.
“The exploration of Snowmass Village is a terrific use of our Eventzee platform,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag. “We’re proud to be able to offer alternative event options at a time when communities are looking to connect with one another.”
The three-month engagement takes players throughout Snowmass Village, CO where they’ll learn more about the village’s history, explore various scenic areas, and visit local businesses. With more than 70 challenges throughout the area, players will be kept busy all summer long. All across Snowmass players will have to take photos at distinct locations, film videos doing specific activities, and answer quiz questions about the area.
“Now more than ever it is important for us to have self-guided experiences around the Village – experiences that guests and locals can do any time,” says Rose Abello, Tourism Director, Snowmass Tourism. “We are excited to partner with Freeze Tag to create such a fun Village-wide experience. The Snowmass Mountain Mission is a great way to explore Snowmass Village, while spending time with friends and family in a fun and different way.”
The partnership with Snowmass Village is part of the Eventzee Tourism program which aims to build up communities through the mobile platform. This program is ideal for communities looking to set up a citywide self-guided tour, drive traffic to historical areas, or increase visitor engagement for local vendors and businesses, and more. Eventzee is a unique solution that combines technology with exploration, two key aspects of the growing tourism industry.

We’re excited to announce that a new version of the Eventzee app will be available for download! The latest version of Eventzee has been totally reworked to offer virtual events and scavenger hunts for any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a team building exercise, new ways to engage with your customers, or a fun family activity, the NEW Eventzee app provides the most features of any scavenger hunt app available.
Eventzee, the state of the art virtual event and scavenger hunt app, is now available on iOS and Android devices. Those interested in utilizing Eventzee’s services can learn more at eventzeeapp,com.
We’re excited to release the new Eventzee, complete with a collection of brand new features, so allow us to break down some of our favorite aspects of the new app!
Fresh Facelift
One of the most noticeable changes is the release of the new Eventzee logo! The mission of the new app is to offer a tool for people working together to solve challenges, and interacting with one another via virtual events and scavenger hunts. Our new logo appropriately showcases the power a group of diverse people have when they work together to locate, and complete challenges in a real world setting.
Home Base
Each Eventzee event will now feature three distinct sections within the dashboard.
Event- What would be considered “Home,” this section includes the event description and details, allows you to see your stats particular to that event, and there’s even a spot to upload a profile picture!
Challenges- This section will show you a list of all challenges. The different challenge types are defined by their corresponding icon. When you click on a challenge you’ll then be able to see the challenges’ expanded description, any accompanying photos, and here you’ll also complete the challenge depending on the type.
Social- Here’s where you can interact with other players in your event! There are three features within the Social section.
- Feed- Here players can see one another’s approved photos and videos and “like” them to cheer each other on.
- Chat- Using this feature players can chat amongst themselves, strategize and work together
- Leaderboard- See how you stack up against other players! Can you go for gold?
Challenging Choices
The NEW Eventzee app offers 7 different Challenge types!
- Photo– An Eventzee classic! Photo challenges encourage interaction and drive creativity.
- Video- Take your challenge to the next level with 30 second video submissions.
- Quiz- Challenge your players’ minds with multiple choice questions.
- GPS- Prove that X marks the spot by checking in to specific GPS locations.
- QR Code- Locate and find hidden QR codes.
- Text- Gather information from your players via fill-in-the-blank questions, and approve the submissions in real time.
- Information- Share important information regarding challenges, locations, and more with informational tips.
Any mix of challenges can also be combined together in a Grouped Challenge to require players to complete a number of challenges at a time in order to earn the points. This is specifically helpful if you want a variety of challenges to be completed at one location. For example, guide players to a specific location with a GPS challenge, have them answer a Quiz question based on Information in that area, and take a Photo while you’re there for good measure!
Challenges can also host informational photos within the description as well for an alternative clue to what the challenge requires. For example, use an example photo to show players a specific statue or landmark they’re looking for. This section is also a great spot for showing branded images to showcase your organization’s logos, marketing materials, and more.
Admin Extraordinaire
Now running your event is easier than ever! Admins of events can approve photo, video, and text submissions within the app itself. You’ll still use the web admin tool to set up your hunt, create your challenges, and more, but the new app makes approving on the day of your event much simpler.
If you’re an admin you can access this section via the hamburger menu. From there a new menu will appear where you can review submissions, message players, download user media, post announcements and more.
A BRAND New Opportunity
Another exciting aspect of the new Eventzee app is the ability for clients to host their own white-label version of the Eventzee app. This totally unique app branded to your specifications uses the Eventzee technology, but operates as a separate build hosted by the client. Although development costs depend on the scope of the project, this high-end option is perfect for brands that want to make an impact in a partnership with Eventzee.
Our company has already kicked off its first white label project with the release of the Barnes Nation app this Spring! Hosted by Barnes Harley-Davidson in BC, Canada, Barnes Nation is a lifestyle app designed to get motorcycle riders out exploring the open roads and meeting new friends.
Housekeeping
The NEW Eventzee app is an entirely new build, so you will not update your current version of the Eventzee app. Instead you will need to search for the new version in your phone’s app store.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be transitioning a number of aspects to the new system. We will keep the previous version of the Eventzee app running for some time, but we do plan to shut down that version in the near future. You can read more about how it relates to Munzee Events on the Munzee blog. Although the older version of the app will be available to use, it will be removed from the app store later this week and not be available for future installs.
We’re also working on a new pricing platform, but ultimately want to work with clients to best suit their needs. If you’re interested in hosting your own Eventzee virtual events and scavenger hunts please fill out the contact form on our website and we’ll start working with you today! Thank you all for your support over the years- we’re excited to bring you a streamlined app with new challenges and other new features!

Jan 31, 2018 | Announcements, Hunt Types
As we announced in Eventzee’s Year In Review post, 2018 is a year of Transitions. With that in mind we’re excited to promote our sister app ZeeTours’ new Contest feature- which you can join NOW in the ZeeTours app.
As a quick refresher, ZeeTours is a self-guided City Tour app that combines fitness, learning and fun into an unforgettable experience. Follow the tour path to a variety of points of interest, solve clues to complete challenges, and learn more about the city around you.
Currently ZeeTours has a handful of tours in American cities, but we wanted to give international players a chance to join in the fun- that’s where the Contests come in.
Similar to Eventzee’s former Premium Hunt platform, these pay-to-play Contests allow players from around the world to compete for prizes by completing themed Trivia and Photo Challenges. A new Contest is held each week starting on Wednesdays and running through Mondays. Each Contest includes a wide variety of Trivia and Photo challenges based on a weekly theme.
To join a Contest players need to:
- Download the ZeeTours app
- Go to the Contests tab
- Tap on that week’s event
- Complete the in-app purchase of 5 ZeeTokens to enter
As players complete Challenges they will earn points and a spot on the leaderboard. The top three winners from each Contest will then be awarded prizes.The prizes will vary from week to week, but could be Freeze Tag Inc gift cards, Amazon gift cards, etc.
Although ZeeTours has some similar features, there are a few notable differences that will make this a bit different of an experience from what Eventzee players are used to. We think you’ll all have a great time, but here’s a quick rundown of some of the differences.
Sequential Challenges
Unlike Eventzee’s list of clues being released all at once, in ZeeTours you’ll have to complete each Challenge one by one to advance to the next task.
Trivia Challenges
ZeeTours Contests put a big focus on Trivia Challenges. Similar to Eventzee you’ll lose points if you answer incorrectly, but there is also a speed bonus for answering correctly quickly.
Themed Challenge Sets
In its current iteration ZeeTours Contests are broken into mini themed sets of Challenges.
Each set will include:
- An informational slide announcing the theme and introducing the Trivia Challenge
- A timed Trivia Challenge question
- Three Photos Challenges
Photo Review
Unlike Eventzee there is no ongoing review process with ZeeTours Contests. At the end of the Contest the top three players will have their photos reviewed to make sure there are no clear cheaters. Because of this players will have the length of the Contest to complete challenges and upload photos, but will not be able to resubmit their photos if they are declined. In the event a cheater is identified, their Challenge will receive zero points and a new player will take their spot on the leaderboard.
In other ZeeTours news, we have also released tours in an additional five American cities with another four tours going live on Friday, February 2nd. All tours are available for purchase at www.zeetoursapp.com, in the mobile app via in-app purchase and through the Groupon app and website.
Thank you all for your continued support of both Eventzee and ZeeTours! Be sure to join this weekend’s ZeeTours Contest as well as our usual Weekend Warriors free photo scavenger hunt, which goes live Thursday at 3 PM CST.
