NFT Treasure Hunt at Techsauce: Summary 3 Years of Growing Engagement

Over the past three years, NFT Treasure Hunt has continued to receive strong participation from attendees at Techsauce Global Summit. Before Season 4 begins, here is a look back at how the activity has evolved from its first year to the latest edition, based on actual on-chain engagement recorded on SIX Protocol.

NFT Treasure Hunt Season 1 (2023)

The first year marked an early-stage experiment for SIX Network in bringing NFTs into the Techsauce event experience. Attendees downloaded the TSGS2023 app, claimed an NFT using their Ticket ID, and scanned QR codes across designated locations to collect points.

What stood out was not only the number of participants, but also the level of continued engagement among those who started the activity, with many progressing through most of the available quests.

• 5,268 total engagements

• 1,798 zone check-ins

• 1,790 stage check-ins

• 1,680 booth and exhibition check-ins

• An average of 9 quests completed per participant

NFT Treasure Hunt & Networking Quest Season 2 (2024)

Under the event theme The World of Tomorrow with AI, SIX Network expanded its role from an experimenter to an official Blockchain Partner. A new element, Networking Quest, was introduced, allowing attendees to add contacts through the app without exchanging physical business cards.

The Techsauce Coffee Bar became one of the most active points for Networking Quest participation, reflecting how the activity worked best in spaces where people naturally stopped, talked, and connected.

• 14,875 total engagements, nearly 3 times higher than the first year

• Stage check-ins: 3,081 times (51.30%)

• Exhibition Zone check-ins: 1,630 times (27.14%)

• Booth Mission check-ins: 1,295 times (21.56%)

• 6,870 Networking Quest add-contact actions

• 140 participants (20.20%) added more than 10 contacts

NFT Treasure Hunt & Networking Quest Season 3 (2025)

Season 3 recorded a significant increase in activity compared with the previous year. The experience introduced four elemental mascot teams, Earth, Aqua, Air, and Fire, allowing participants to choose a side and compete by collecting points.

Beyond participation, the activity also generated behavioral data that could be used for event planning, including which stages attracted the most interest and which time periods recorded the highest concentration of check-ins.

• 60,628 interactions recorded on SIX Protocol, more than 4 times the previous year

• 52,376 booth and stage check-ins

• More than 5,330 Add Friend actions

• 281,913 total points collected across the four-team competition, with Team Earth taking the top spot

• Main Stage recorded the highest number of stage check-ins at 984, accounting for 22% of all 4,471 stage check-ins

• The highest check-in activity occurred between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM on Day 1
