The location of the Gnome secret challenge is in the D-8 Quadrant of the map, near the coastal areas. Players have to visit the site and go near the stage, where they will notice a sudden spark of light, and a person will start speaking through the microphone for a while.

Then, out of nowhere, Super Slurp will get blasted, and the host will vanish into thin air, thus completing the secret challenge and granting players 25,000 XP.
