Gnome on the Roam

Bingles, our Director of Holiday Engagement, is back, and this time he brought along his ‘gnomies’!

For our Bingles fans, we’ve made some changes to how to play our Gnome on the Roam Scavenger Hunt.

The game runs from November 28, 2025, to January 5, 2026, so you have plenty of time to play.

How to Play

  • Bingles’ friends have spread across Downtown Mesa to share their holiday cheer! You can find each one of his friends in the storefront window at 8 different downtown businesses. They will stay there throughout the entire holiday season. They’ll each be wearing a Merry Main Street button.
  • Bingles, on the other hand, is in hyper holiday mode and can’t stay still in one place for too long. He’ll be traveling to a new location each week, and the clue for his current location will be the ninth clue on the scavenger hunt form.
  • Go to the form, read the clues, figure out where Bingles and his friends are located, write in your answers, enter your contact information, and submit. That’s it!
  • You can submit one form each week.
