Take a break from rushing between sessions and enjoy a fun, light-hearted challenge around the congress. Meet people, laugh a little, discover great initiatives, and slowly unlock a meaningful message about our shared commitment to kidney care.
How it works
- Visit the treasure hunt stops in any order (BUT the ISN booth should be your last stop)
- Engage in the short activity at each stop (see below)
- Scan the QR code at each stop to unlock a numbered word
- Collect all 7 words
- Visit the ISN booth, do your last activity, scan the QR code to get the last word
- Complete the phrase and share it with the ISN staff
- Get a chance to win a prize when you draw from a fishbowl at the ISN booth
Helpful notes
- Save, screenshot or write down your word each time you unlock one
- Each word is numbered to show its place in the final phrase, so it is easy to put together
- Please be kind to booth teams and enjoy the conversations along the way
