Since the site’s relaunch in 2014, Hanson.net members have been able to earn Pins, which function similarly to video game achievements. Members can “level up” by unlocking exclusive pins through various actions on the website or by attending real-life events.
With the 2020 re-relaunch, we created a comprehensive guide outlining all available pins and how to earn them.
Please note: Pins are intended to be available for a limited time. Pin Hunts typically run for one week or for the duration of a specific event. Once that window has closed, the pin is marked as No Longer Available in the guide. That said, it is possible that not all pins have been fully deactivated. Because pins cannot be re-earned after being unlocked, there is no definitive way to confirm whether an older pin is still active. You’re welcome to try following the original hints to unlock past pins, but availability may vary and success is not guaranteed once the initial earning period has passed.
Additionally, the site’s current offering is scheduled to end on March 31, 2026, and it is currently unknown what will happen to pins after that date. Members may wish to save or screenshot the pins they have earned from their account for their own records.
