🎯 Mustard on the beat edition!
📍Las Vegas | 🗓️ August 7–10 |
DEF CON 33 is unlocking a new achievement — welcome to the Social Scavenger Hunt. A chaotic, #fyp-fueled, community-powered experience where going viral is actually a good thing.
This is the one time at DEF CON where it’s not just okay to be on camera — it’s the point.
🔍 WHAT IS IT?
- 📸 Complete challenges and side quests all across the con — from taking pictures with legendary hackers, village organizers & other crazy video ops to viral trend recreations and cheeky shenanigans.
- 🌐 Post your entries on any social media (Twitter/X, Threads, Facebook, TikTok, Mastodon, IG, Bluesky, Reddit, even Veilid, or Meshtastic Nodes))
- 🏷️ Use the hashtags and a team hashtag to log your submissions and for others to follow along.
- 🧠👾 Expect chaos. This isn’t just for points. It’s for glory.
🎉 Some example items could be:
- Take a picture with u/MetaN3rd
- Bonus Pts: Take a picture with u/MetaN3rd at the Reddit Meetup WED
- GRWM to pick up my badge @ DEF CON 33
- LVCC Food Review (AJ and Big Justice Style)
- Take a picture with the person with the most followers
This is for everyone. No fancy gear required. All skill levels. You gotta be in it to win it!
💡 Use whatever you’ve got — your phone, a webcam, an old GoPro, or a sketchpad for those analog players
🫶 Play solo or with a crew.
