KIIS 101.1’s Jase & Lauren were found yesterday afternoon after playing their Hide & Seek game for 32 hours, 21 minutes and 5 seconds. The duo were hiding at the Brighton Town Hall and were found by Essendon school teacher and mother, Bridie.
Jase Hawkins said “What a moment, after 32 hours, 21 minutes and 5 seconds, Bridie knocked on the door and picked up the cash. And what a moment it was!”
Lauren Phillips added “It was amazing wasn’t it? And Bridie is a teacher who is on maternity leave, gosh our teachers have done it tough in the past few years and do some amazing work.”
On their hiding spot, Lauren also shared “We are in the hall bit but there are other parts attached to the building where all sort of things happen. There is a gallery that have people coming and going – every now and again we would have to stop in our tracks and not make a sound.”
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.”
