FLAGSTACKS Monthly Retrospection May 2019

Hey, FLAGHUNTER!

Do you also think that May has gone by super-fast? We’ve collected the highlights for you and summarized them briefly...

DEPLOY RECORDS

The introduction for the great FLAGSTACK month of May already took place on 28.April - because trabee (DE) has deployed the 3.5 millionth flag in Dusseldorf (DE). So, next time you won’t only go shopping in Dusseldorf (**cliché**), but especially to get this flag including the badge... Start navigation... Destination input... Haroldstrasse in Dusseldorf, Germany... Let's go!

EVENT RECORDS

As you know, we put CO-EXIST in capital letters... We don't want to tell you, you should choose 1 GPS game... What's much better is to play the game that you enjoy. And if you collect virtual cans at FLAGSTACK on your way to a can, then you've really won! This fun was as a premiere this May, and then even three times :-)

FLAGTACK joined three big geo-events and more than 80 participants in Hamburg (DE), Berlin (DE) and Fort Worth (US) enjoyed the events! Meet and get to know nice people, share moments of aha ( "...oh, you're the one behind the username..." / "Man, we haven't seen us for a long time..." / "...I do know you..." / "...you are from my area - let's go out together and collect flags…" / ... ), collect as many photo cans at FLAGSTACK as the cell phone battery handed over, ... Well, yes, we can say: Nice if you were part of it! Nice to meet you!

NEW FLAG TYPE

On 10.May it was finally over with the lame excuses: Ready to fire for the Jump & Run Flag! Following the successful beta tests at the Hamburg event, it was time to enjoy this new type of flag personally. And - the name says it all! The flag jumps and you’re running after it... The countdown is breathing down your neck - on foot, by bike or very trendy with an e-scooter - and yes, the 25,000 points are not given to you as a gift! But they give a lot of fun and will take you outdoors - there's almost no better motivation for a sports unit :-)

CAPTURE RECORDS

So if you deploy so many flags that you’re celebrating records on them, they will also be captured by ambitious FLAGHUNTERS.  On 26.May, RetTeach (US) in Woodbridge (US) turned a Green Flag into the 24 Million Captures Flag, added a pretty logo to it and was as pleased as Punch! Congratulations on this stroke of luck to you and the US!

OPTIMIZATION

Many thanks for all the positive feedback on the app update, apparently we were able to make the game even more fun at the end of April with good quality. But optimization never stops... After the first feedback on the Jump & Run Flag, we were able to improve the locations positioning. In case a stopover lands in an inaccessible area, we ask the flag owner to let us know, and we’ll be glad to help (Jumpandrun@flagstack.net). We recommend testing it immediately... Get out!

PREVIEW OF JUNE

In June, the FIFA Women's World Cup will be the first on the agenda... The ladies know exactly what to do. And your task to support them at FLAGSTACK will be announced in time... Warning, spoiler alert: The more jumpers jump around on the FLAGSTACK map, the easier it will be to reach the badge! Blink, blink...

So stay tuned and capture the flag...

Greetings from your

team FLAGSTACK

 FLAGSTACK will make you Jump & Run

“You should know, you should know that
FLAGSTACK is not having anything today
As we stand there totally krossed out
We commence to make you
Jump & Run
FLAGSTACK will make you
Jump & Run“

 

More than 27 years since the mega success of the song Jump by the band Kris Kross, the lyrics (yes, admittedly, slightly modified :-)) are as up-to-date as never before...

Because FLAGSTACK offers you nothing less than the latest and best gaming experience!

The new flag type "Jump & Run" is now available for you in the FLAGSTACK webshop!

How would you feel to be the first one to deploy this exciting flag in your hometown? Imagine you and your FLAGSTACK friends can go out together and join in this multi-flag experience! Get your first pieces of this new adventure in the webshop and get the best places on the map from 10.May.

How will the new flag work exactly?

The Jump & Run Flag offers you a real explorer adventure with 33 stations within a range of up to 2 km around the starting point! But you have to hurry, cause as soon as you capture the start the Jump & Run flag jumps on. A countdown of 10 minutes each will run, in which you have to reach the next station.

You have a maximum of 3 tries per Jump & Run Flag to complete this flag successfully with a badge and 25,000 points! Every player, even you as the owner, can play this flag - as the owner you will get "only" capture points but NO capture on points. You can deploy the Jump & Run Flag directly on site via the app and exclusively for premium members via the website.

What if I can't reach a flag in the process because the footpath is currently being re-paved or the hedge is being cut? No worry, you can skip single flags in an urgent situation and still complete the task.

more facts:

Deploy points: 250
Capture Points: 8
Capture On Points: 16
Distance "start" to own flags: 66 m
Distance "Start" to other flags: 22 m
The new flag can be deployed as of 10 May

Because we are glad that you waited so patiently for this new flag, we considered that there will be an introductory offer with 10% discount. And as it is much better to get the very best offers with a Premium Membership at FLAGSTACK, as a Premium Member you get another 20% discount on top with the code "Jump&Run" (also applicable to reduced items).

You can't wait to pass the time with this new flag?! What are you waiting for?

We wish you lots of fun, a charged battery and comfortable footwear!

Your Team FLAGSTACK

PS: A little hint: On foot or by bike the flag is the most fun, because you have to be on your toes and it attracts you to the most beautiful spots in the area...!

App Update News

Hello FLAGHUNTER!

We have been looking forward to Easter for a long time - with all its surprises, the egg hunt in the sunshine, happy moments with family and friends and of course the cool challenges at FLAGSTACK! Have you found them all yet? The little Easter bunnies on the map and maybe also the special golden eggs with the extra badge? Up to and including Sunday (time zone Europe / Berlin) you have time to check the surroundings and we wish you good luck...

Have you found the most colorful egg we hid over Easter already? The search field has been extended to your trusted App Store (iOS / Android), because since Easter the latest App Update for your favorite GPS game is hidden there.

Get started quickly and install the latest version of FLAGSTACK. Not only because it's cool to be up to date - no, it's really worth it! Here's what we did especially for you and put a lot of effort into it:


iOS - version 2.3.0.17

- we have updated various features to iOS 12 (backward compatible) for stability

- on the map you can now select "centered continuously" and "centered continuously in
  driving / walking direction" - just tap the direction arrow multiple times and start playing

- get a lost Data Matrix Code of your Treasure Flag sent again via email after deploy

- the routing on the map to your selected flag is working again

- now you can also read your capture- and deploy rewards in game as a chat message

- don't miss any of your personal successes anymore with the popular note, that will make
  you happy at every level-up

- last but not least: preparations for the brand spanking new flag type, which will bring you
  lots of fun soon! We just keep saying: get off the sofa... :-)

 

Android - version 2.3.0.20

- we have updated various features to Android 9 (backward compatible) for stability

- get a lost Data Matrix Code of your Treasure Flag sent again via email after deploy

- the routing on the map to your selected flag is working again

- comfortably capture Treasure Flags in the dark by turning on your smartphone's
  flashlight while scanning

- the graphics size on the map has been optimized for modern devices

- now you can also read your capture- and deploy rewards in game as a chat message

- don't miss any of your personal successes anymore with the popular note, that will make
  you happy at every level-up

- Personal Flags again can be captured directly from the map

- last but not least: preparations for the brand spanking new flag type, which will bring you
  lots of fun soon! We just keep saying: get off the sofa... :-)


We would like to thank everyone who actively contributed to the App Update: the FLAGHUNTER, who recommend good improvements; the beta testers who have put functions through their paces over and over again; friends and families for their patience; to the weather god for great outdoor weather for testing; and last but not least the programmers in the background, who have worked out great solutions with good ideas to make FLAGSTACK even better for you...

We hope you enjoy trying out the latest features

Your Team FLAGSTACK

PS: If you really like FLAGSTACK and its new features, you can support us with a 5-star rating ( if you like, even with a short recession ) in your trusted App Store. This will make us really happy and increase FLAGSTACKs visibility, the number of players and therefor the number of flags in your area!

Easter with FLAGSTACK: On your eggs, get set, go...!

Next weekend the big days arrive - Easter holidays are coming up! And to make sure you're going outside, FLAGSTACK will come up with a fantastic Easter special.

During the upcoming week, you’ll find an Easter egg in your inventory. Using the app, you can deploy this Easter egg from Good Friday (19.April 2019, 00:01, timezone Europe / Berlin). This Easter egg automatically hides 40 sweet, small Easter bunnies on the map within a radius of 1 km around your current deploy location - and you have to find them! They’ll become visible on the map when you are close enough to the Easter specials - about 200 meters! By the way, you’ll find them close to roads and footpaths, and only you can see your Easter bunnies. You’ll get 40 points for every collected Easter bunny, for at least 19 collected Easter bunnies you’ll receive a cute Easter badge. And don't worry, they're not shy and won't hobble away :-)

Because so many players were overjoyed last year, the golden Easter bunny is available for you in our webshop again! This golden Easter bunny hides automatically 30 golden Easter eggs within 1km around your current deploy location. These golden Easter eggs are only visible on the map when you get close to them (about 200m)! Contrary to the cute Easter bunnies, other players can also find and capture your golden Easter bunny and the golden Easter eggs. You’ll get additional 4-10 Capture On points for them, and for the golden Easter bunny and the golden Easter eggs you’ll get 6-40 capture points. For at least 22 captured golden Easter eggs you’ll also receive a lovely Easter badge. https://www.flagstack.net/shop

Please make sure to have a good GPS signal before the deployment - preferably in front of the door and also there where you can and want to collect the Easter specials. A review, of whether the road is in a secure area or how good the mobile reception is, cannot be done. It will happen in some cases, that Easter Specials are not reachable. Therefore, there is no legal claim to be able to collect all the Easter Specials. That's why you get much more specials than necessary to receive the badge. The promotion of all Easter specials ends on Sunday after Easter (28.April 2019, 23:59, timezone Europe / Berlin).

Of course there are also great offers* with discounts of up to 40% in our webshop https://www.flagstack.net/shop for you at Easter (from Good Friday to Easter Monday). They will change daily, and the very special offers will be available only hourly - so you also have to look for them too...

Besides relaxing time for family and friends at Easter, you also have exciting plans with FLAGSTACK now! Go out and have fun searching...

We wish you a happy Easter!

Your Team FLAGSTACK

New month, new LABs, new feature...

The first quarter of this year has gone by like clockwork. In the meantime it's April and spring at the FLAGSTACK Headquarter (FHQ), and we’ve put the sunny energy boost to create YOUR fun...

What do we all expect from a state capital? Of course that there’s a LAB (Local Area Badge). For the USA, we can remove this from the ToDo list with the great groundwork of SoccerFanatics (US)! Most tourists coming to Washington, D.C. will visit the more famous monuments: those to Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt; commemorating those who served in World War II or the Vietnam War; or prominent Americans such as Martin Luther King, Jr. But there are dozens of other monuments and memorials here, also worthy of a visit—some in plain view; others in out-of-the-way spots; some so obscure even local residents are unaware of them.

SoccerFanatics has identified 78 of these "other" monuments, and invites you to visit them. For those visiting the monuments, SoccerFanatics would appreciate it if you on facebook would write a note on Flagstack USA saying which one of these monuments were your favorites.

How do we call such a great thing? HOTSPOT! What do you find close to such great ideas? The new quality feature at FLAGSTACK: the HOTSPOT on the map - whenever you see the icon, it means lots of fun, lots of points and a good time :)

Are you ready for something new at FLAGSTACK? We are working on a FLAGSTACK App Update and want to introduce the best new feature today: the FLAGSTACK Voice Capture! It's as simple as it sounds and we'd like to invite you to test this new feature right now... 

Imagine you are on your bicycle, the wind is blowing around your nose and the sun is shining into your face and unfortunately also on the smartphone display in the steering wheel mount. You have no chance to see the display and therefore the FLAGSTACK map properly.

This is THE ONE AND ONLY solution for you: if you are in the capture radius of a Green Flag, just say "Hey Siri, capture Green Flag" (iOS) or "Ok Google, capture Green Flag" (Android) and you can wrap this flag up! With the note " Congrats! The voice capture was successful and you have earned 8 points." you get the verification about the successful capture. Of course this works with all virtual flag types, you just have to use the right flag type for your voice capture. Try it out right now and you'll see how simple it is!

There's something left...: Two new LABs (Local Area Badges) are available for you in Brunswick (DE) from 07.April 2019. Degeisi and Freckless, two tireless Flaghunter from Germany, have spared neither cost nor effort to create the "Night Trail Brunswick" as well as the "Treasure Trail Brunswick". Thanks to the support of many other Flagstackers there are now hundreds of Night Flags and hundreds of Treasure Flags in Brunswick Veltenhof-Ruehme (DE) - and this means: thousands of points for you and your FLAGSTACK friends! These trails will be solemnly inaugurated at the event https://www.flagstack.net/event/1805! Are you part of it?

We wish you lots of fun with all these innovations!

Best regards from your

Team FLAGSTACK

Are you ready for the fifth season?

Helau! Alaaf! The world is big,
there's hardly anyone who doesn't like it.

And ‘cause you're tempted to go outside,
the flags also dress up beautifully with pride!

Yourself, green, white, yellow and pink,
will soon be painted by a blink,

to be pretty and fine
for this rhyme.

Go get 'em and take care to make it right,
collect 200 until Sunday night.

The spook's over, the badge's straight,
the fifth season was pretty great.

So we'll take a little break,
with carnival, shrovetide or your local spake.

Over are these great days,
but the next funny ideas are on their ways!

Collect at least 200 costumed Green Flags, White Flags, Eternal Flags, Friend Flags and/or Jumper Flags in the time from Rose Monday at 11:11 a.m. (04.March 2019, time zone Europe / Berlin) until Sunday night (10.March 2019, 23:59 p.m., time zone Europe / Berlin) and enjoy these great days and the cheeky badge with 2,000 extra points and crazy 200 extra credits!

Helau! Alaaf!
