Masonic33 Indie Puzzle Badge (DEF CON 33)
Independent ATtiny1616 analog-input puzzle badge with a scheduled DC33 drop and current DC34 continuity
Hak4Kidz Lab's Tindie listing calls Masonic33 a cryptic, interactive badge for puzzle lovers, hackers, and DEF CON attendees. It says two 10 kΩ potentiometers control an ATtiny1616-based board with eleven independently controlled LEDs; players tune analog inputs to unlock a hidden LED sequence and solve four puzzles. The listing also names a UPDI-compatible one-wire programming interface, 4.5 V AAA-battery input with batteries included, a 4.25-inch black-solder-mask/white-silkscreen PCB, custom VHS-style box, patches, lanyard, and stickers. A recovered public DEF CON 33 schedule records a 10:30-10:59 PDT BadgeLife Community Masonic33 Badge drop credited to Heal-Hak4Kidz, while the Hacker Couture DEFCON 33 product list separately shows the Masonic33 Badge at $125. Badge.Life's live DC34 Village Schedule additionally lists Masonic33 Badge — heal at 10:30 AM on Friday August 7 and 11:00 AM on Saturday August 8, 2026, without naming a changed board or revision. These sources establish a real independent 2025 puzzle badge with planned 2026 continuity, not official DEF CON issuance, admission, a confirmed completed drop, a separate DC34 artifact, a complete circuit/firmware archive, a connection to any fraternal organization, or reusable-image rights.
