Your Weekly Hunt in the City

Each week, a new clue lands in your Hub 4 portal. It will point to a location in Melbourne. Think landmarks, hidden laneways, a corner of a park you might only know if you walk it often. Your job is to crack that clue. It is written to test your knowledge of the city, to make you look closer at the details you usually walk straight past.

This clue is yours alone. Everyone gets the same information at the same moment. But the wording, that changes. Our AI system personalises the writing for each member. It alters the voice, never the facts. This means nobody gets an unfair advantage. There is no copying someone else's solution. You rely on your own brain, your own footwork. It is a level playing field from the first word.

When you think you have it, you head out. Whether you are in Brunswick, Footscray, or down by the Bay, the hunt will take you somewhere different each week. You will find yourself exploring parts of Melbourne you have never properly seen before, even if you have lived here your whole life. It is designed to get you moving, to make you look up, to find the city's hidden details. For more ways to get out and explore, you might like this post: Melbourne outdoor activity: Get out.

Tracking Down the Token

The token itself is a physical sticker. It is small, no bigger than a coaster, and it will be stuck somewhere public, but not in plain sight. It is not hidden behind locked gates or in private property. It will be accessible, but it will make you work for it. You are looking for a specific, discrete spot in a public space.

As you get closer to the hidden token, the game gives you more help. This is a core part of how Hub 4 works. Your phone's GPS is always on when you are hunting. Get within 400 metres of the token, and a second clue unlocks. This clue describes what you would see from across the street. It gives you a narrower focus.

Close in further, within 120 metres, and a third clue appears. This one tells you almost exactly where the token is. It is designed to confirm your location, to guide you to the final few metres. You only get these clues by physically being there. They do not appear unless your GPS places you in the right zone. This prevents anyone from winning from their couch. You have to be on the ground. You have to walk the streets. For adults looking for a challenge, this makes for a unique outdoor challenge for Melbourne adults.

Your location access is critical. It is how we verify that you are truly at the token. The app shows you how close you are to the prize, but never your exact position to anyone else. We store the distance, not your specific coordinates. Your privacy is managed carefully, and the system is built to be transparent about what data it uses and why. It is all about fair play.

The Win: It is Not Just Finding It

Finding the token is a huge step, but it is not the win itself. When your photo and GPS verify you are physically at the token, a 15-minute exclusive window opens. This window is yours. Nobody else can claim the token during this time.

Within these 15 minutes, you need to answer a skill question. This is a question designed to test your mental agility under pressure. Get it right, and the prize is yours. You have beaten the hunt. The value of the prize is revealed, and you are paid within 48 hours.

What if you get the skill question wrong? It is not over. If you answer incorrectly, a five-minute cooldown period begins. During this cooldown, your 15-minute window continues to tick down. If your exclusive window expires before you correctly answer the question, the hunt opens up to every other member. The race is then on for anyone to claim the token and answer the question. This system means being first to the spot is a real advantage, but it is not a guarantee. You have to think clearly. You have to earn it.

The rules are built for fairness. Hub 4 is owned and operated by Synap AI Pty Ltd (ABN 86 695 003 653 · ACN 695 003 653). We believe in transparent play.

Beyond the Prize: Points and Referrals

Even if you are not the first to find the token and claim the cash, your walk is never wasted. Once a hunt is won, the token stays stuck down. If you find that sticker later in the week, photograph it, and pass the location checks, you still earn 50 skill points. These points are a reward for your effort, for getting out and exploring. You cannot buy points. You earn them by taking part, by solving clues, and by finding tokens.

You can spend 20 skill points on an extra clue for a future hunt. This gives you another edge, another piece of information to help you get ahead. It is a reward system that encourages ongoing engagement, offering tangible benefits for loyal members who love the chase.

Referral is another way to benefit. Every member gets a personal invite link. If someone joins Hub 4 through your link, you earn 10% of their membership fee. This is not a one-off payment. You earn it for as long as they stay a member. It comes straight off your own bill, reducing your monthly outlay. It also helps the community grow. The more people playing, the bigger the prize pool can become. More members means bigger stakes for everyone.
