The Gnome Coach can be found north-east of the field for the Gnome Ball minigame, shouting directions to the players on the field. He can be a potential easy customer in the Gnome Restaurant minigame.

He is the answer to a clue scroll with the anagram "C ON GAME HOC". He gives players a challenge scroll, asking, "How many gnomes on the gnomeball field have red patches on their uniforms?" The answer for this challenge is 6.
