Adventure passport

Stamps, logs and collectables

Every adventure you attend earns a stamp. Your discovery log records what you found and where. Levels, badges and collectable awards roll out as the community grows — we will never hold an adventure back waiting on a badge.

Payments

Straightforward and honest

Memberships and event bookings: pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Memberships bill monthly, cancel anytime from My Basecamp, and member pricing applies to your event bookings automatically. One-off kit payments — the RnH shop and a fresh Buckey Adventure Pack — can also use Afterpay (pay in 4).

The Buckey surprise trail

Your Buckey is just the beginning

Your first kit is a starter, not the whole story. We're developing occasional surprises for paid explorers: thoughtful additions to build up your Buckey over time, each with a reveal and a story worth sharing. We'll show off new designs and tell their stories in the Field Notes as they take shape. Inclusive Explorer surprises may be accessible or digital, while Elite supporter surprises may be invitations or recognition rather than kit gear.

We want these moments to be a big deal, not a box ticked on a calendar. Surprises are occasional bonuses, not a monthly parcel or fixed delivery schedule. Choose your membership for its advertised pack and current benefits.

Follow the Buckey surprise trail

The fine print, in plain English

Memberships bill monthly from the day you join, on or around the same date each month, until you cancel. There's no lock-in — cancel anytime from My Basecamp and future payments stop.

Paid memberships carry a one-off joining fee, charged once when you sign up. For Explorer, Inclusive Explorer, Adventurer and Pioneer, the joining fee is your Buckey starter kit — it's the same price as that tier's Buckey. Postage is added at checkout. Elite is a supporter membership with no starter kit; its joining fee covers your Elite ID card and recognition. Because the joining fee rides with your first monthly payment, it's paid by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay — Afterpay applies to one-off kit payments like the RnH shop and a fresh Buckey Adventure Pack. Consumer rights still apply once a kit is dispatched.

Cancelling doesn't refund the current month's payment or anything already sent to you. Nothing here limits your consumer rights — wherever you live, your local consumer laws apply (in Australia, that's Australian Consumer Law).

Membership doesn't automatically include entry to every hunt, event or workshop — separate fees, permits, safety requirements and registration conditions can apply.

Starter packs and kit photos are representative: colours, brands and individual items can differ with availability or genuine improvements. If something's unavailable we'll swap it for an item of comparable purpose, quality and value, and tell you before dispatch if it's a material change.

Occasional subscriber surprises are bonus benefits — a treat, not a promise. They're not guaranteed every month, on a fixed date, or as a physical delivery.

Rhythm & Hunt is launching before December, with the first group hunt planned for March 2027 — subject to access, permits, insurance, weather, safety planning and operational readiness.
