Stay cool and eat an ice cream…

Midsummer in the northern hemisphere - what you badly need is a delicious refreshment! No problem, with FLAGSTACK you can eat as much ice cream as you want in August and September :)

So, when does it start?
The feast begins on 05 August 2022! You can get ice cream either at your favorite ice cream parlor or at one of the numerous ice cream trucks that come to you.

Is your favorite type of ice cream on offer?
There are 9 different types of ice cream available for you, so your favorite one is surely one of them.

What exactly do you have to do to get the refreshment?
The best ice cream parlors in the FLAGSTACK world can be found at Eternal Flags. These ice cream parlors are open for you 24/7 and you can have fresh ice cream every 24 hours. Just step into the ice cream parlor (capture the Eternal Flag), and the offer of the day will appear on the FLAGSTACK map....
If you don't come to the ice cream parlor, the ice cream will come to you... Of course, in the world of delivery services, there are also many ice cream trucks on the FLAGSTACK map that will come to you wherever you are. As soon as you knock on the ice cream truck, the sales window opens, and you are spoilt for choice on the FLAGSTACK map....
Please don't wait too long to capture the ice creams or they'll melt away right in front of you!

There are always badges at these kinds of challenges... What's planned this time?
You are right! This time, FLAGSTACK Headquarters is really generous with the awards!
For each type of ice cream, you will get a separate badge. You have to capture each type of ice cream just 250 times.

Sound too much? Wait...
First: every time you go to an ice cream parlor or ice cream truck, you're offered 9 types of ice cream. And the best part? You don't even have to choose - just take them all!
Second: The FLAGSTACK ice cream has no calories, you even burn some on the way to the ice cream parlor or the ice cream truck :)
Third: If you get 9 types of ice cream at the ice cream truck, you get a total of 190 capture points. You might even get the idea that it could be worthwhile to use Jumper Hubs or Force Fields - just think about it ;)

And additionally...
...you will get the "Ice Cream Lover of this summer" award if you achieve all the 9 badges for the 9 types of ice cream!
So, on this challenge you can get 10 awards by eating ice cream - who wouldn't want that?! Including delicious extra points, sugar-free - a refreshing change...

You want your own ice cream truck franchise?
With pleasure! Start your own business and send your ice cream trucks everywhere! Order your ice cream truck fleet in the Gourmet Fanshop and help the community by offering refreshingly delicious ice cream. You'll not only get Capture On points for the ice cream truck, but also for each single type of ice cream :) We'll give it away: That's a total of 475 Capture On points for every single capture ;)
And an 11th badge is sure to be the icing on the top of your badge collection!

The ice cream season ends on 30 September. And ice cream tastes good to everyone and always, even if you have snow :)
Enjoy the refreshing offer and
Capture the ice - erm flag...

Your Team FLAGSTACK

PS: Long story short
From 05.08.-30.09.2022 9 types of ice cream will appear on the map after capturing Eternal Flags and/or Jumper Flags.
There is a badge for each type of ice cream. Collect each type of ice cream at least 250 times.
Once you have captured each of the 9 types of ice cream at least 250 times, you will receive an additional badge.
You can buy jumper flags in the fanshop. For each capture on these jumper flags, you will receive the capture-on points and ADDITIONALLY the capture-on points for the 9 types of ice cream.
All given time periods refer to all-day time zone FLAGSTACK Headquarters/Europe/Berlin.

Happy Birthday FLAGSTACK

30.06.2015:

It was almost like playing roulette: rien ne vas plus...

The concept was ready, the app was in the app stores and waiting for the release. Exactly at midnight European time the time had come: the GPS games world was enriched by an attraction!

30.06.2022:

Millions of flags and hundreds of adventures later, it's the 7th anniversary of the spectacle. Since June 2022, we are all part of the great circus show and have already collected one or more awards as a souvenir in our achievements.

On the birthday weekend, the celebration mood rises to its peak, because it's DOUBLE POINT WEEKEND! From 01-03.07.2022 (time zone FHQ/Europe/Berlin) you get double points on everything*: for Capture, for Deploy and for Capture On points!

Don't miss out on the fun and get the turbo boost for your points score, achievements collection and a nice weekend tour with FLAGSTACK!

We take this opportunity to say a big thank you to you. For being loyal to us for a long time or for enjoying the game recently. For supporting the community with your flags and for bringing fun to the other FLAGHUNTERS by collecting flags.

Let's start the new FLAGSTACK year together with lots of joy...

Birthday greetings from FHQ

Tension is in the room....

.... the show will begin very soon, and you will enter the magical world of "Circus FLAGSTACK"!

This is a reminder for your to-dos, plus a few insider tips!

From 05 June 2022:
To enter the circus area, you need tickets. First, collect at least 100 Green Flags to achieve the Ticket Badge.

From 12 June 2022:
There's a lot going on at the circus showgrounds by now! You can ride the chain carousel, munch fresh popcorn, and play toss games at various booths... Plus, the highlight - entering the circus ring - is waiting for you!

Collect at least 70 Jumper Flag gondolas for breathtaking fun in the airy heights of the chain carousel and let yourself be whirled around!
Collect at least 70 White Flags and/or Friend Flags and enjoy them like fresh, white, warm, sticky-sweet or salty-flavored popcorn!
Collect at least 50 Oracle Flags and/or Happy Holiday Flags and test your throwing skills on a more challenging level!

From 19 June 2022:
Finally: the highlight you've all been waiting for...
Enter the Eternal Flag circus ring and collect at least 70 acrobatic show acts - just look at them closely enough and marvel at the attractions!

You think all this sounds impossible?
Gladly we share some insider tips ...

> The flags all need to be purchased and that's the only way I would be able to achieve the awards.
There are various flags in the Credit Store that can be purchased with Team Battle Credits...

> I don't have enough flags in my area.
Find people in the FLAGSTACK community to swap flags - so you can support each other with the flags you need...

> I don't have enough space to deploy flags for others.
Use the popular Green Flags swap feature on the website map to supply your friends with the types of flags they need...

> Jumper Flags don't appear frequently?
Either a Force Field or also a Jumper Hub can solve the problem - both attract many Jumper Flags...

> You want big successes in a short time?
In that case Party Flags can help you, because, depending on the package, there are 25 Green Flags / 25 Green and 25 White Flags / or even 50 Green and 30 White and 20 Oracle Flags included! Create an event and enjoy your circus event by yourself or with friends at the Event Flag...

Oops, the tips are no longer secret ;) However, they are still excellent... Challenge yourself and see if you can make it!

You are enthusiastic about chain carousels and want more and more, and higher and further?
How about having your own gondolas that will bring fun to you and all the other circus visitors? Order your gondolas in the "Circus FLAGSTACK" Fanshop and support all circus visitors in achieving the circus diploma. As a thank you for your generosity, you will receive Capture and Deploy points as well as a very special additional award.

7 Awards - 7 Years of FLAGSTACK
Have you noticed that the number 7 appears quite often in this Circus Challenge? OF COURSE it has to do with FLAGSTACK's 7th birthday on 01 July 2022, and we want to celebrate it appropriately together with you and the "Circus FLAGSTACK"! The big party will take place from 01 to 03 July by hosting a Double Point Weekend.
Please make sure to reserve extra time for FLAGSTACK in your calendar for this event ;)

Happy Easter 2022

Did you see it out of the corner of your eye? The Easter Bunny just hopped by....

Next weekend it is time for a nice long Easter weekend! There will be lots of sunshine, a good mood and lots of goodies.

Of course, we offer you good reasons for Easter walks! From 11 to 25 April 2022 (all day in the FHQ/Europe/Berlin time zone) you will not only find Easter eggs in your neighbor's garden, but first of all amusing Easter specials on the FLAGSTACK map :)
Collect at least 200 of these little Easter specials and hop - the award will hop into your achievements collection (even multiple times if you can do it)!

Is your Homezone already empty? Then get a second chance and hop - there's a lot going on on the map again :)
Would you like to put some specials in your FLAGSTACK friends' homezone? Then hop over to the webshop, get some new flags, and deploy them via the website at the desired location.
Do you still need a gift for Easter? Create a nice shopping cart at FLAGSTACK and send it as a gift - just enter the desired name at the checkout, confirm, and hop - the flags just made their way into the desired inventory! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReB8T9b93fA
Hop - this way to the webshop  https://flagstack.net/shop

Chop, chop - that's what we told some golden Easter bunnies... We at FLAGSTACK Headquarters have stashed a golden Easter bunny for free (= no cost = mega super) in the inventory of FLAGHUNTERs with a one-year premium membership!

For all FLAGHUNTERs (with or without premium membership) there are even more golden easter bunnies in the webshop. You don't even have to hunt for them, just click on the link and they'll hop right in front of your nose...

You can deploy your golden Easter bunny via the app from 11.04.2022. The Easter Bunny hides 40 golden Easter eggs on the map within a 1 km radius of your current deployment location - and you can seek them! They only appear on the map when you get close - about 200 meters - to these Easter Eggs! You will find them on roads and footpaths, and amazingly: other FLAGHUNTERS can also find your golden Easter eggs! For every Easter egg capture, you will randomly receive 6-40 capture points. For at least 32 collected Easter eggs, an Easter badge with 3,200 bonus points will be magically added to your achievement collection. And if someone captures your golden Easter eggs, you will randomly receive 4-10 capture-on points! Can you find more than 32 golden eggs? Just get the badge 2 times or 3 times or as many times as you want!

Have fun with the Easter event...
Your Team FLAGSTACK

PS: As always, please make sure you have a good GPS signal before deploying - preferably outside the door and where you want to and are able to collect the Easter Specials. As it is not possible to check whether the street is in a security area or how good the mobile reception is, it can happen in individual cases that these Easter Specials are not available. Therefore, there is no legal claim to collect all Easter Specials. And therefore, you will receive many more Specials as necessary to receive the badge.

PPS: This year, the following types of flags are hiding behind the Easter Specials: Happy Holiday, Green Flags, White Flags, Oracle Flags, Adventure Flags and Golden Easter Eggs.

PPPS: The Spring Challenge is running parallel to the Easter event. Just capture everything that enters the capture radius on the FLAGSTACK map :)

Wonders of Nature: A Butterfly's Metamorphosis

Hello spring!
Welcome, all you flowers and insects!

Pull out the magnifying glass, naturalist: Here we go to see the metamorphosis of a butterfly!

From 01.April to 31.May 2022 (all day, time zone FHQ/Europe/Berlin) Eternal Flags on the FLAGSTACK map turn into flowers that attract small insects. You must look closely to discover them - so zoom into the map and be curious about what's around...

Furthermore, more and more butterflies are flying around. They especially like landing at Jumper Hubs or Force Fields - seems that they smell incredibly good ;)
Capture all the insects and butterflies you can. While doing so, you can watch an egg turn into probably the most beautiful butterfly you've ever seen. And how? Keep checking your achievement specials regularly, or be surprised by a total of 4 awards that pop up one by one as you collect insects and butterflies!

You want to breed FLAGSTACK butterflies and set them free on the map? Perfect - visit the FLAGSTACK Fanshop ! You can order your own butterfly breed there.
This will help the community go through the metamorphosis of the butterfly faster and be able to catch the magnificent butterfly multiple times! As a thank you for your generous support, you will receive capture and deploy points, as well as a very special additional award.

By the way, our recent stress test for the Jumper Flags was more than successful, so look forward to a huge swarm of butterflies :)
Oh, and please be careful when capturing the butterflies - they will likely fly away as soon as you touch them...

Insects and butterflies are not enough animals? You can find butterfly attractants (Jumper Hubs and Force Fields) as well as golden Easter bunnies in the FLAGSTACK webshop ...!

Are you looking forward to spring? We are happy if this challenge can put a smile on your face :)
Your Team FLAGSTACK

PS: Long Story Short
All day in the period 01.04.-31.05.2022 (time zone FHQ/Europe/Berlin) insects appear on the map after capturing Eternal Flags. Additionally, Jumper Flags look like butterflies. Collect insects and butterflies to reach 4 badge levels. These will show you the metamorphosis of a butterfly.
You can order Jumper Flags in the FLAGSTACK Fanshop, and you will receive an additional award.

Spring has come!

And we have some news for you for the spring season...

All FLAGHUNTERs together have reached major capture milestones over the past few weeks. You have now broken the 40 million captures record!

Who & Where?
TheIslander (perfect name if you live on the huge island of Australia) has pinned the flag with the 40 million reward right at Cussen Park in Tatura... A small village south-west of Shepparton and north of Melbourne becomes world-famous this way :)
On 19. March 2022 TheIslander has won 30 Green Flags and the badge for this Capture Reward as well - congratulations all the way to Down Under!
So, if you also want to get this badge, take the opportunity for extensive walks in this wonderful scenery...
The flag can be found here

Voucher update: Due to high demand from players, any vouchers you win will have a validity of 180 days from 01. April 2022. For example, the voucher codes you win on a Capture or Deploy reward. In case of such winnings, you will always receive a mail in your mailbox. From 01. April 2022 you will also find the validity date in this mail, allowing you to better plan your shopping experience :) and to ensure that no voucher codes are forgotten. By the way: this also is retroactive for won voucher codes. If you haven't redeemed an attractive discount yet, NOW is the right time to do it!

Enjoy the spring season with your Spring Challenge "Wonders of Nature: A Butterfly's Metamorphosis" starting on 01. April 2022.
Do you still remember all the evolutionary stages of a butterfly? From 01.04. to 31.05.2022 you can refresh your knowledge here at FLAGSTACK...
It's buzzing and humming on the FLAGSTACK map, butterflies are flying from flower to flower, and you can earn a total of 4 awards by watching these little creatures. As a big reward for the final badge, you can expect the most beautiful butterfly you've probably ever seen!

To ensure there are as many butterflies as possible buzzing around on the map, you can order your own little frequent flyers beforehand in the FLAGSTACK FANSHOP. This allows the community to go through the metamorphosis of the butterfly faster and to reach the magnificent butterfly multiple times! To thank you for your generosity, you will receive the Capture and Deploy points, of course, as well as a very special additional badge. Please check the fan shop - soon the first butterflies will be fluttering around... (https://flagstack.help/fan-shop/)

Are you looking forward to spring? We are happy if this challenge can put a smile on your face :)
