Treasure Hunt

Presented by ThingsBook

Several sacred texts have vanished from the BookCon library, scattered across the show and hidden from all but the most determined readers. Your journey begins here. Travel through BookCon, scan the hidden runes (QR codes) with your compass (mobile device), and reclaim these lost tomes before the final page turns on the weekend. Should you fail, these stories may be lost to legend forever...
