Hunting!Here are some simple steps to help you get on your way:
1) Make sure your battery is 100% charged.
2) The Market Place (IP24 2DT) is a good place to start, but it’s only a suggestion.
3) Open the Munzee App to access the map and list screen and zoom in to your location: list will show the closest Munzees to you and map will show you where they are.
4) Somewhere in the surroundings is a Thetford Trail Munzee. On the Munzee App map all of our Munzees are pink;
5) Once you’ve found a Thetford Trail Munzee, tap it to reveal a clue on where it’s hiding.
6) You can follow the built-in compass to get nearer to the Munzee. 7) When you’re close, use your treasure hunting skills to find the Munzee! Most are stickers that look like this (see right) but three are ‘ virtual ’ Munzees.
8) Once you’ve found the Munzee, use the capture button on the home or map screen to scan the QR code or capture a virtual munzee
9) Quiz time! Answer a pop-up question. Be sure to look around the surrounding area for inspiration – the less guesses the more points you get!
10) Now that’s done, can you find the next one? Happy Munzee hunting! We hope you enjoy the Thetford Heritage Munzee Trail.
Once a Munzee has been captured you cannot do it again and it will show up as a red tick on your map.

You don’t have to finish the trail all in one visit. You can come back and
finish it at any time.
Lost phone signal? Don’t worry, capture the Munzee
and your system will update once you get your signal
back.
On the paper/pdf map, the
Munzees are numbered to
help you find them, but you
don’t have to find them in
any particular order.
Close your app in between
capturing Munzees to save
your battery – use our map
and cheat sheet instead.
What is a virtual Munzee?Virtual Munzees have no sticker as they are ‘hidden’ in the skies – make sure you are within 300ft of their location, select your capture screen and hold out your phone to capture!
