Find the cash. Win the prize: Melbourne's weekly treasure hunt.

Hub 4 is a weekly treasure hunt played on the streets of Melbourne. Each week, a clue drops. You solve it, find a hidden token, and answer a question. First to get it right wins a cash prize. It is a game of skill, not luck. Membership is $25 per month, and you can cancel anytime. The next hunt starts on 15 August 2026.

How the Melbourne Treasure Hunt Game Works

You want the cash. We know where the city is hiding it. The path from clue to prize has three steps: solve, find, and beat the timer. There is no randomness here. The prize goes to whoever earns it. You must be 18 or over to take part. Location access on your device is mandatory to play. First, you solve a clue. This clue lands in your portal each week. It directs you to a specific spot in Melbourne. This might be a well-known landmark, a quiet park bench, or a corner of the city you thought you knew well. Our clues are personalised. Everyone gets the same information at the same moment. But your clue is written for you alone. The wording changes, never the facts. This means nobody starts ahead. There is nothing to copy off anyone else. You solve it on your own terms. Next, you find the token. This is a physical Hub 4 sticker, no bigger than a coaster. It is always stuck down somewhere in Melbourne. It will not be sitting out in the open. You need to locate it, photograph it exactly where it sits, and then leave it there for whoever comes next. A find is only valid if you are physically at the sticker with your GPS on. Your photo must match the real location. This means nobody wins from their couch. You have to actually be standing there. For more on this, consider Melbourne's street-level treasure. Finally, you beat the timer. Claiming first gives you a 15-minute exclusive window. During this time, only you can answer the skill question. Get it right, and the cash prize is yours. If you answer incorrectly, a five-minute cooldown starts. Your 15-minute window keeps running during this cooldown. If your exclusive window runs out before you answer correctly, the question opens up to every other member. Then the race is truly on. Being first to the spot is a real advantage, but it does not guarantee a win. The prize goes to the person who can think under pressure.

Clues That Close In

We give you more help as you get closer to the token. Two more clues unlock by proximity. Get within 400 metres of the hidden sticker, and a second clue appears. This clue describes what you would see from across the street. Close in further, within 120 metres, and a third clue unlocks. This final hint tells you almost exactly where the token is. These clues only unlock when you are physically there. They guide you in, step by step, rewarding your legwork. This system ensures that local knowledge and physical effort are key. You cannot just guess from home.

The City Hides It, You Find It

Melbourne is our game board. The city is rich with hidden details, unnoticed plaques, and forgotten corners. Tokens are hidden across various zones, spanning the whole city. This means wins spread across the map. It does not favour whoever lives closest to the CBD. You might be hunting in the leafy streets of Fitzroy one week, then along the industrial charm of Footscray the next. Perhaps you will be exploring a bayside precinct like St Kilda, or a quieter spot in the outer north. We want you to explore Melbourne, from its busy laneways to its quiet suburban parks. For general information on what Melbourne offers, see the official City of Melbourne website. The goal is to get you out, walking. Discover parts of the city you would not otherwise see.

More Than Just a Scavenger Hunt Melbourne Offers

Hub 4 is a serious game, designed for adults who appreciate a challenge. It is not a typical light-hearted scavenger hunt. There are no silly hats. There are real stakes, and real money. We built the rules for fairness. They are designed to be seen as fair, too. Hub 4 is not gambling. It is a game of pure skill. You solve a clue. You find a hidden token. You answer a skill question. There is no random draw, no chance element. Every win is earned. We pay winners within 48 hours of verification. The prizes are cash, always. No vouchers. No points. No catch. The value of the cash prizes stays sealed until someone wins. Nobody sees a prize's value in advance. This stops people from sitting out the small weeks. Nobody can cherry-pick the big ones. A fixed share of every membership fee goes into the prize pool. It cannot be overspent. It grows as our club grows. The bigger the club, the bigger the prizes. For more on what makes this game unique, read Find Melbourne's hidden cash. We ensure a level playing field. Every member is verified by SMS. One person, one account. This prevents armies of duplicate accounts from hoovering up the prizes. Consistency in winning means you get promoted. Our skill leagues place consistent winners into harder clue divisions. This leaves the entry division open to newer members. Everyone competes at a level that challenges them.

Still Worth the Walk

What happens if someone else wins before you get there? The token stays stuck down. You can still find it later in the week. Photograph it, pass the location and photo checks, and you earn 50 skill points. The cash prize has gone, but your walk is not wasted. Those skill points add up. You cannot buy skill points. You earn them by taking part. You can spend 20 points on an extra clue for a future hunt. This means the city always stays worth exploring. Every walk has a reward.

Your Weekly Opportunity: A Cash Prize Treasure Hunt

Melbourne offers plenty of activities, but Hub 4 provides a unique twist. It is an outdoor activity in Melbourne for adults. It rewards your knowledge of the city. It gives you a reason to walk somewhere you would not usually go on a Saturday. It is not touristy. It is about understanding your city at street level. Getting around Melbourne is easy with its extensive public transport system; you can plan your journeys via Public Transport Victoria. Hub 4 rewards legwork and attention to detail.
