A fairy-tale weekend with FLAGSTACK!

It was the middle of winter, and the snow-flakes were falling like feathers from the sky, and a queen sat at her window working, and her embroidery-frame was of ebony. And as she worked, gazing at times out on the snow, she pricked her finger, and there fell from it three drops of blood on the snow. And when she saw how bright and red it looked, she said to herself, "Oh that I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of the embroidery frame!" Not very long after she had a daughter, with a skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony, and she was named Snow-white.

STOP! It's so hot out there...! That's a fairy tale...! Yes you’re right, because it is the announced fairytale weekend at FLAGSTACK! FLAGSTACK presents itself with an information booth at the geocaching event "GC-Grimm - Maerchenhaft in Kassel" (DE, GC6R2Y8)!

If you come to visit us on the spot, there will be a great surprise for you. Because the seven little men have already made the long way to hike over the (Kasseler) mountains and are waiting for you on the spot. The entire Saturday and Sunday (4 - 5 August 2018, 00:00 - 23:59 h, time zone Europe/ Berlin) they can be found in Kassel and also around the exhibition halls. You can't miss them on the FLAGSTACK map! Collect 50 of them to wake the event badge from its sleep!

“Looking-glass upon the wall, who has the greatest badge of us all?”

“Living in the glen with the seven little men, this badge is a thousand-times lovelier than expected!"

We keep our fingers crossed that you at least grab the Frog King or visit us in Kassel and collect the Snow White badge.

...and they played happily and contentedly FLAGSTACK...

Fairy-tale greetings to you from

All the things we’ve already organized... The things are packed, the seven dwarves know how and where they can help and we will get over the seven (Kasseler) mountains at the weekend. Then it will start there and we will provide a lots of fun and new FLAGSTACKERS :)

Will you come visit us there? We are looking forward to meet you! Doesn't it work out for you or is it just too far away? Then it all starts right now!

From now on the FLAGSTACK map will be like fairy tales! As if by magic, all Green Flags and Happy Holidays become beautiful fountains. And - what's missing to your happiness? Of course, the enchanted prince who jumps from one fountain to the next as a frog. Yes, you guessed right - the Jumper Flags are turning into the Frog King!

Of course there is a badge for your collection for this fantastic action. What do you have to do?

The FLAGSTACK World Cup is over now for everyone...

Yeah, it's true... This year's FIFA World Cup went badly for many favorite teams and even the defending champions from Germany have already dropped out in the group stage. But, let's not reopen old wounds...

Because at FLAGSTACK you were unstoppable and captured soccer jumpers without getting tired - some professional soccer players can follow your example!

You know for yourself which of the many great World Cup badges you have achieved. Are you also interested in the total number? Well, look in this spreadsheet:

The FLAGSTACK WM '18 - Group stage has been reached by: 3,620 players

The FLAGSTACK WM '18 - Round of 16 has been reached by: 2,224 players

The FLAGSTACK WM '18 - Quarter-finals have been reached by: 1,236 players

The FLAGSTACK WM '18 - Semi-finals have been reached by: 975 players

The FLAGSTACK WM '18 - Finals have been reached by: 522 players

A-a-and drumroll..............

The FLAGSTACK WM '18 - Golden Goal has been reached by: 338 players

By the way - for the Golden Goal you only needed one additional soccer jumper after the final :)

As promised there's a reward for the betting players with the right instinct - we'll soon add a little something to the inventory for positions 1-10! The thrill should have been worth it :) Thanks again to Blattlaus (DE) for the great idea and organization - from FLAGSTACK players for FLASGTACK players!

So far, so good. Everyday life is returning to soccer. But of course not at FLAGSTACK!

As another birthday month special we have thought of new badges!

For the hard-working of the hard-working, we are now letting out the beast - with the Beast Mode! This 5-step series badge brings together ALL of your previous and upcoming CAPTURES and DEPLOYS! Collect a flag? One point for the badge. Lay out a flag? One point for the badge. Very simple, and simply ingenious!

Little by little we will unlock the individual badges and bring with it many points to the Flagunity! So, what percentage have you already loaded for the beast mode???

Awaken the beast in yourself and

capture the flag...

In Munich, not only the sun is burning... Munich is in the process of becoming a FLAGSTACK megacity! Take a closer look...

Because from now on you can explore Munich from its most beautiful side with FLAGSTACK: There is a great new LAB (Local Area Badge) with the best highlights and sights for you to discover. The Bavarian metropolis has a long history and Tintenklexx (DE) takes you by the hand virtually and shows you its hometown! Just follow the blue and white special icons on the map and have fun with this LAB! Tintenklexx has put a lot of effort into creating this new LAB. Thank you so much for that, Tintenklexx, you did a really good job and we really enjoy something like that!

In a few days we will tell you more...!

Portogiese (DE) won this badge today because it is so awesome! So? What happened during that? The next million is full and the 17 millionth capture at FLAGSTACK is celebrated!

When and where?
In the early afternoon of 30.June 2018 on the Landshuter Allee between Dom-Pedro-Straße and Ruffinistraße in Munich

Who and what?
Portogiese (DE) was on the final spurt in Team Battle and placed the latest record badge on a Green Flag of Captain-Flag (DE)

So, a perfect double this summer weekend for the FLAGSTACK metropolis Munich and for you two more reasons to plan a city trip here. Besides these two new attractions, Schorsch is waiting for you in the beer gardens (LAB "Prost, Schorsch!"), as well as a lot of Dice-Cluster for a little game with you :) If you still have breath, we scare you through the night on the power night trail in the Perlacher forest...

We wish you a time full of flags...

NEW LAB: Boston Freedom Trail

A time travel back to 1773 to Boston, Massachusetts... Cloudy weather dominates this 16th of December... And in the harbour it gets turbulent at night... Boston citizens enter the port and throw hundreds of cases of tea from the ships at anchor into the harbour basin.

The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people... The American Revolutionary War had its roots in Boston with this famous Boston Tea Party. A total of 13 colonies merged in the following years and declared their independence in 1776.

As you can see, Boston is a city full of history and remarkable sights. A line of red bricks running through the streets, the Freedom Trail, connecting 16 important spots today.

frf (US) thinks this tour shows the best historical sights! He took the time to collect the coordinates and best information for you and he sent this as a perfect suggestion for this LAB (Local Area Badge). And of course, we are happy to do that! Many greetings across the pond from the FHQ and THANK YOU for your efforts!

Another great LAB for our American friends and everyone who always planned to go to Boston Massachusetts! Boston's Freedom Trail comprises sites that have witnessed almost 400 years of history. Come experience what they have to offer!

Are there also beautiful landscapes or special buildings in your area that deserve to make it big with a LAB? Then send your suggestions to lab@flagstack.net and we will create a unique LAB together!

We are happy to receive ideas for individual sights at poi@flagstack.net

It can be an entire country? Then send your idea to cob@flagstack.net and we will contact you!

Summer greetings from the FHQ from your

FLAGSTACK World Cup: the best never rest...

Four long years we all had to wait, and now it is finally time again... The next FIFA World Cup will take place in Russia! Soccer again! And finally again a great FLAGSTACK special action for you!

Become a soccer professional with FLAGSTACK! During the World Cup, from 14.June - 15.July 2018 (time zone FHQ Europe / Berlin) all jumpers jump around the world as soccer balls! Catch as many as you can and dribble your way to the final! Your FLAGSTACK-WM starts on 14.June with the kick-off for the first game of the World Cup, at exactly 17:00 o’clock. All the fun will be finished after the final match and a small overtime on 15.July at 23:59 (all time zone FHQ Europe / Berlin).

As in the World Cup, there are different game rounds - in our case these are the badge levels. See what goals you need to achieve to enter the final:

1. Pass the group stage and collect at least 11 soccer jumpers. Because 11 players can do the same as 11 friends on the pitch! Badge bonus for you: 110 extra points

2. Win in the round of 16 and collect at least 32 soccer jumpers. Because 32 national teams compete for the title of all titles! Badge bonus for you: 320 extra points

3. Win in the quarter-finals and collect a total of at least 64 soccer jumpers. 64 games during the World Cup show who has the best players and the better nerves to be the winner in the end. Badge bonus for you: 640 extra points

4. Triumph in the semi-finals and collect a total of at least 82 soccer jumpers. In 1982, Hungary won against El Salvador in the preliminary round with the highest result ever - a shooting match with an incredible score of 10:1! Badge bonus for you: 820 extra points

5. Grab the trophy in the final and collect a total of at least 112 soccer jumpers. Because as the 12th man you have to give 100% to get the champions badge. Badge bonus for you: 1,120 extra points. Well, this level is not easy, but: the best never rest...

We can't offer you a mascot like the wolf called Zabivaka™ (which means "The scorer scores a goal" in Russian), that's only available at the official World Cup. But even better for you is the following offer, which is perfectly matched to the ingenious badges... Visit the FLAGSTACK Fan-Shop https://flagstack.help/fan-shop/ and after payment of the transfer fee the desired jumpers will be transferred to your account. Yes, exactly, during the World Cup as soccer jumpers on the map!

You really like soccer? Blattlaus (DE) likes it too and had the glorious idea for a betting game - from FLAGSTACK players for FLASGTACK players! Do you have the right strategy for this competition? Then go into extra time with this betting game... Your direct free-kick for fun and games can be found here https://www.kicktipp.de/flagstack/ ! Many thanks to Blattlaus for the ingenious idea and implementation, we are happy to support this commitment and the betting game with great prizes!

That was a long speech in the booth... Warm up, because the training is over now and the World Cup starts!

Good luck, good flanks and always a fair game.

City-LAB Magdeburg

Ich kenne eine Stadt am großen Strom, die viele Haeuser hat und einen Dom... (Here’s the off the cuff translation for this German rhyme: I know a city on the big river that has many houses and a cathedral...) And yes, exactly - we are talking about Magdeburg (DE)

T!his city was first mentioned in documents in 805. The Magdeburg region was first mentioned at FLAGSTACK by the Salty Tour exactly two years ago in June 2016. The Salty Tour takes you through the Boerde area, is a lot of work for a LAB (Local Area Badge) and there is a lot to see.

Do you feel like playing a thrilling game in Magdeburg, where you can experience incredible things? Then this brand new LAB (Local Area Badge) is just right for you and the great summer weather!

Freckless (DE) has compiled unbelievable insider tips and the craziest memories and created this unique LAB for you. Many thanks here! We only provide the technology, so that you at least have the feeling of exploring Magdeburg together with her in a virtual way. The best of the best is just good enough to show you and to spend a good time in Magdeburg.

What's in it for you next to a fabulous city tour? Altogether 57 highlights are shown to you in Magdeburg, which are marked with a special icon on the FLAGSTACK map. If you collect at least 50 of these icons, you will receive 5,000 extra points and a badge in your FLAGSTACK account in addition to a lot of information.

You see, fun and culture are very close together and you will always find something exciting and new at FLAGSTACK!
From Friday, 08.06.2018, Magdeburg will be a busy place! And now it's your turn - let's go to Magdeburg (DE).....!

Have fun and a good time!
Team FLAGSTACK
