So I had heard a bit about Munzee its a lot like geocaching except you find a QR code you scan with your smart phone instead of a cache. Many people have been placing them on geocache containers. The one I found yesterday was hidden by Kelly in front of his work. Its the first one in Grants Pass.
While cell phone coverage has been growing there are still out of the way places that a Munzee just wouldn't be possible but a cache would. I can see them being much more successful in an urban environment.
I might put out one of my own and I'll probably scan them when I see one. As for seeking them out... probably not, but then again I don't even go geocaching much anymore.

Congrats on the first Munzee — and the first one in Grants Pass, no less. You nailed the trade-off: QR codes need decent cell coverage, so they shine in urban deployments while a traditional cache still wins out in the middle of nowhere. It's fun how much the documentation side of the hobby has evolved, from paper logbooks to scanned QR codes — these days you can even use AI tools (we play with one at makeaivideo.app) to turn field photos into short recap clips. Happy hunting!
