Lockpick Village

Lockpick Village Returns to BSidesChicago, Hosted by Lockpick Extreme!

We’re thrilled to welcome Lockpick Extreme back to BSidesChicago for another year of unlocking skills and solving challenges! Last year, they delivered an unforgettable experience, and we’re excited to have them return with their high-energy, hands-on approach to teaching the art of lockpicking. With over a decade of experience, this skilled team has become known for creating an inclusive, engaging space that’s perfect for both first-time pickers and seasoned pros alike.

And this year, there’s a new twist! Lockpick Extreme is part of the Sasha the Flamingo Scavenger Hunt, bringing unique lockpicking challenges that are sure to test your skills and add an extra layer of fun to the hunt. Whether you’re after bragging rights, scavenger hunt points, or just the thrill of cracking a tricky lock, you’ll find an exciting challenge waiting for you.

Plus, thanks to our venue, the Chicago Hilton, the lockpicking village will include a special item—a locking filing cabinet, among a variety of other locks ranging from padlocks to door locks. As always, Lockpick Extreme’s expert team will be on hand to guide, encourage, and share their passion for lockpicking with all attendees.

Join us for a fantastic mix of learning, competition, and community spirit at the Lockpick Village, where Lockpick Extreme once again brings their passion, patience, and expertise to make BSidesChicago unforgettable. Get ready to take on challenges, earn points for the scavenger hunt, and pick up valuable new skills!
