KIIS 101.1’s Jase & Lauren abruptly left their breakfast show to play the Melbourne-wide game of Hide & Seek.
Breakfast show co-hosts Lauren Phillips and Jason ‘Jase’ Hawkins are hiding somewhere within the city, with a cash prize of $50,000 awaiting the first listener who finds them.
On Tuesday’s show, Phillips urged her co-host to keep it quiet. She said: “Can you keep your voice down? It is very loud, we are trying to be inconspicuous. I thought I was the loud one. You are screaming.”
“Please find us quickly Melbourne!” she added.
Jase then provided a clue to listeners of their location. He said: “I don’t want to reveal too much, but let’s just say there were some people camped outside the KIIS building waiting to try catch us but we have not left through the front entrance and we have managed to get outside the KIIS studios.”
Clues to their hiding place will be revealed on air on KIIS 101.1 every hour, on social via #JLHideandseek, on Instagram and on iHeart via the special Hide & Seek Clue podcast.

Jase & Lauren’s Hide & Seek was launched in partnership with Network 10’s Australian Survivor.
Ahead of the game, Phillips said: “I am so excited to be hiding and giving everyone a chance at $50K. Hide and seek was my favourite game as a kid and I can’t wait to play against Melbourne.
“My biggest concern is the longer Melbourne takes to find us, the more Jase and I will fight about what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner!,” she added.
Jase added “It is probably the easiest prize I have given away in radio. All you have to do is find us in Melbourne and we will hand over $50K – it’s that simple. I thought this was going to be a chance at some peace and quiet being locked away from my kids.. but then I realised I would be living 24/7 with Lauren.”
