The key prize is the Tears of the Kingdom pin at the main lobby

Nintendo is no stranger to event bonuses, and they're bringing a few goodies to PAX East 2023 this week. The loot includes a Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pin (featuring Link's cool new arm pose), as well as Splatoon pins and a Splatoon cinch bag to put everything in. All three of these are spread out at PAX East, located in the main entrance lobby, the Nintendo Free Play Area, and the NintendoVS Arcade respectively.
So the way this all goes down is through QR codes. You'll check in with My Nintendo via a QR code, will will complete the "check-in" at PAX East 2023. You can prep this now before heading to PAX through this link. Yes, you do need My Nintendo to participate: "A Nintendo Account (aka, being a My Nintendo member) is required to take part. Only one of each kind of giveaway item will be given per account per day."
As for the rest, we have exact instructions below on where to find all three QR points, straight from Nintendo. Good luck! Nintendo does stress in multiple areas in the announcement article that this is while "supplies last," so you probably want to get as much as you can on the first day.
