Six months after teaming up with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to get to the bottom of why Aotearoa is disappearing from world maps, comedian Rhys Darby has solved the mystery case.
Darby and Ardern conducted an extensive investigation into the conspiracy, finding that New Zealand has been left off many maps, including the game of Risk, Vancouver International Village, Central Park Zoo, Spanish in-flight magazines and Starbucks, among others.
In a video posted to Facebook this morning, Darby said he had finally cracked the conspiracy with help from an "elusive source".
"Citizens of Earth, I've finally done it! After months of intense investigation both in a field and in my garage, I've now solved the mysterious case of why New Zealand is missing off world maps," Darby wrote.
"Yes, it was a tough biscuit to crack but with a little bit of help from an elusive source, the answer has now landed on my doorstep!"
