How the hunt works
Three steps, one winner, every week. No lottery, no draw — the prize goes to whoever earns it.
This is what you're looking for. A Hub 4 token, stuck somewhere in Melbourne, no bigger than a coaster.
It won't be sitting in the open. Find it, photograph it exactly where it is, and leave it there for whoever comes next.
Solve
A clue lands in your portal each week. Crack it to work out where in Melbourne the token is hidden — a landmark, a park, a corner of the city you thought you knew.
Find
Get there and photograph the token where it sits. Your GPS has to put you on the spot and the picture has to match, so nobody wins from the couch.
Beat the timer
Claiming first buys you 15 exclusive minutes to answer the skill question. Get it right and the prize is yours.
Four things worth knowing
YOUR CLUE IS YOURS
Everyone gets the same information at the same moment, but your clue is written for you. The voice changes, never the facts — so nobody starts ahead, and there's nothing to copy off anyone.
IT SHARPENS AS YOU CLOSE IN
Get within 400 metres and a second clue unlocks describing what you'd see from across the street. Within 120 metres, a third tells you almost exactly where it is. You unlock them by being there.
LOCATION IS THE PROOF
You need location switched on to play — it's how we know a find is real. The hunt map shows how close you are, never where you are. We store the distance, not your position.
STILL WORTH THE WALK
Once it's won, the token stays stuck down. Find it later in the week and you still earn 50 skill points, even though the cash has gone. Leave it there for whoever comes next.
Melbourne is the board
Tokens are hidden across zones spanning the whole city — north, east, bayside, west — so wins spread across the map instead of landing with whoever lives closest to the CBD.
ILLUSTRATIVE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE ZONES WE PLAY IN. LIVE TOKEN POSITIONS ARE NEVER PUBLISHED — THAT WOULD RATHER RUIN IT.
Finding it isn't
winning it.
The moment your find is verified, a 15-minute window opens that belongs to you alone. Answer the question and you've won. Get it wrong and a five-minute cooldown burns into your window — and if it runs out, the question opens to every member and the race is properly on.
It means being first to the spot is a real advantage, never a guarantee. The prize goes to whoever can think under pressure.

Why this is straight
Real money is involved, so the rules are built to be fair and to be seen to be fair.
THE PRIZE IS REAL
Cash, paid to you within 48 hours of a verified win. No vouchers, no points, no catch.
SEALED UNTIL WON
Nobody sees a prize's value in advance, so nobody can sit out the small weeks and pounce on the big ones.
FUNDED BY THE CLUB
A fixed share of every membership goes into the prize pool. It can't be overspent, and it grows as the club grows.
ONE PERSON, ONE ACCOUNT
Every member is verified by SMS. No armies of duplicate accounts hoovering up the prizes.
SKILL LEAGUES
Win consistently and you're promoted to harder clues, leaving the entry division to newer members.
NO CHANCE ELEMENT
There is no draw and no randomness anywhere in the game. Every win is solved, found and answered.

Questions, answered
Is Hub 4 gambling?+
No. Hub 4 is a game of skill: you solve a clue, find a hidden token, and answer a skill question. There is no random draw and no chance element — every win is earned.
How much does membership cost?+
$14 per month. You can cancel anytime from your member portal, and billing is handled securely by Stripe — we never see or store your card details.
How do I actually win?+
Each week you get a clue, written for you. Work out where the token is hidden, get there, and photograph it exactly where it sits. Your GPS has to put you at the spot and the photo has to match the real token, so a find can't be faked from home. Being verified first gives you a 15-minute exclusive window to answer the skill question. Answer correctly and the prize is yours.
What happens if I find the token but can't answer?+
A wrong answer starts a 5-minute cooldown, and your 15-minute window keeps running. If it lapses without a correct answer, the question opens to every member — first correct answer wins. Being first to the spot is an advantage, not a guarantee.
How big are the prizes?+
Prizes are real cash and their value stays sealed until someone wins, so nobody can cherry-pick the big weeks. The prize pool is funded by memberships and grows as the club grows — the bigger the club, the bigger the prizes.
When do winners get paid?+
Within 48 hours of the win being verified.
Where does Hub 4 run?+
Across Melbourne, Australia. Tokens are hidden in public, publicly accessible places in different zones around the city so wins spread across the map instead of favouring whoever lives closest to the CBD.
Does everyone get the same clue?+
Everyone gets the same information at the same moment, but the wording is written for you personally. It changes the voice, never the facts — nobody gets a head start, and nobody can copy someone else's clue and be further ahead than you are.
Do I get more help as I get closer?+
Yes. Two more clues unlock as you close in — one within 400 metres describing what you'd see from across the street, and one within 120 metres telling you almost exactly where the token is. They only unlock by actually being there.
Do I have to turn on location?+
Yes. Location access is how we know a find is real, so it's required to take part. The hunt map shows how close you are, never where you are — we store the distance, not your position.
What if someone else wins before I get there?+
The token stays stuck down. Find it later in the week, photograph it, and you still earn 50 skill points even though the cash has gone — so the walk is never wasted. Leave it where it is for whoever comes next.
Is it fair if someone plays every week?+
That's the point of skill leagues. Consistent winners are promoted to a higher division with harder clues, which leaves the entry division to newer members. Everyone competes against players at their own level.
Can I earn anything by inviting friends?+
Yes. Every member gets a personal referral link, and you earn 10% of the membership fee of anyone who joins through it — for as long as they stay a member. It comes straight off your own bill.
Who can join?+
Anyone 18 or over who can get around Melbourne. One verified account per person, confirmed by SMS, which keeps the game honest.
Somewhere out there,
a token is waiting.
Join the club, get this week's clue, and go and take it.
