PAERATA RISE & THE ROCK ‘HUNT FOR $2000!’
TIME TO LOOK UNDER SOME ROCKS
In partnership with The Rock Auckland to celebrate the ROCK 2000 Countdown, Paerata Rise is hosting a multi-phase treasure hunt experience like no other – and it’s happening right here in Paerata Rise.
We have hidden $2000 under a rock, somewhere in Paerata Rise – and only 20 people will get to search for it! Be listening to The Rock every morning at 9am for your clue, find an Entry Token buried somewhere in Paerata Rise, and receive your ticket into the Grand Hunt for $2000! OR Skip the Queue with The Rock’s Fast Pass! Just text HUNT to 3520 to go in the draw!
How it works
Starting Friday 5th September 2025, Paerata Rise and The Rock will be teasing out clues across our social media channels to build anticipation. Then on Monday 8th September, the first official clue will drop on our stories and at 9am on The Rock 90.2. Make sure you’re listening!
From there, ten (10) individual treasure hunts will take place across Paerata Rise throughout the next 2 weeks (08/09/25 – 19/09/25). Each hunt will lead to one (1) of ten (10) hidden prize Entry tokens – and each entry token can be redeemed for an exclusive Paerata Rise x The Rock prize pack, featuring branded gear and merch worth over $350 each, PLUS an entry into the grand final treasure hunt to win $2000!
To ensure a smooth experience for everyone, please note that all clues and tokens will be hidden in public spaces only, so there will be no disruption to private property or homes.

One ultimate prize – $2,000 – will be hidden under a rock somewhere in Paerata Rise. Keep an eye on our social media for clues, updates, and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks.
