Members Only · House Warming · 23 May 2026

Gaz's House Warming. He's throwing it at one of ten central-city bars — and he's not telling us which one. Track him down, join the party.

A members-only Saturday afternoon hunt. Random teams of four. Sealed envelopes, no phones, no maps — just clues, instincts, and the central city. The faster you find him, the more bar tab is left when you do.

— Who is Gaz

A Balinese green gecko
with grand designs.

A couple of years ago Kaden, Morgan and Jessie hopped the ditch for the Torian Pro. What they didn't know is that on their detour through Bali on the way home, a sneaky little Balinese green gecko stowed away in their gym bag. His name is Gaz.

01

The long grass out front

He built his hut in the long grass out front of GRC — yes, the patch Finn's dog Thump likes to piss on — and hasn't left since. Watching every session. Cheering on every PB. The littlest, most encouraging supporter we've got.

02

One PB bell too many

But he's had enough. The PB bell has been rung too many times for his ears to take. He's torn up his tenancy agreement and he's leaving for the big city.

03

House warming, you say

Where's he moving to? He's hosting his house warming at one of ten central-city bars — and he hasn't told us which one. The faster you find him, the more celebrating you get to do.

— The brief

Random teams of four.
Ten envelopes. One party.

Once you've signed up, Harry randomly assigns the teams and announces them Wed 20 May. Pick a captain, pick a name, pick a matching look. Then meet at the Bridge of Remembrance on Saturday at 3pm and start hunting.

01

Pick at random

Every team gets a stack of ten envelopes — one for each bar on the board. Pull one at random and head to that bar. Don't know where it is? Ask a stranger. That's half the fun.

02

Drink first, challenge second

Walk in. If Gaz isn't there, every team member orders a drink — alcoholic or not, your call. Once the drinks are in hand, open the envelope and complete the challenge inside. It'll relate to the bar you're at.

03

Captain holds the phone

Each team nominates a captain. The captain is the ONLY one allowed to use their phone — and only to take evidence photos of drinks and challenges. No maps. No Google. No AI. No Find My Friends.

— Saturday 23 May

What we're not telling you: the challenges inside each envelope, which bar Gaz picked, or what coordinated look the other teams have plotted. That's the whole game.

— Rules of the hunt

Five rules.
Don't be that team.

Full detailed instructions and rules get covered at the 3pm briefing. These are the ones you need to know now — so you can pick your captain and plan your look.

  1. Phones stay in pockets. Captain only, photos only.

    No Google Maps, no Snap Maps, no Find My Friends, no googling for answers, no AI. The team captain is the one exception — and only to take evidence photos of drinks ordered and challenges completed. If you don't know where a bar is, ask a stranger.

  2. Every team member orders a drink. Then start the challenge.

    At every bar, before opening the envelope, every member of the team orders a drink. Alcoholic or non-alcoholic — your call. Once you've all got a drink in hand, crack the envelope and tackle the challenge inside.

  3. Pick a captain. Pick a team name. Pick a matching look.

    Once teams are announced on Wed 20 May, start the comms. You'll need a captain (phone-holder, photo-taker) and a team name. You're also encouraged to coordinate a look — matching coloured t-shirt, a hat, anything that sets you apart. Get creative.

  4. If Gaz is at the bar when you walk in, you've found him.

    Don't open the envelope. Don't start a challenge. Hand over your evidence photos and your completed challenge answers from the bars you've already been to. Gaz will check.

  5. Wrong answers? A penalty you won't want.

    If your photos and challenge answers don't check out, your team gets a penalty. We're not telling you what it is. If everything is kosher, you're in — the house warming officially begins for your team. 🥳

The drip.
How this rolls out.
