Overview

  • The Chouette d’Or treasure hunt, launched in 1993 with 11 riddles by Max Valentin, concluded in October 2024 when two players unearthed the bronze owl token in Dabo, Moselle.
  • A documentary titled 'La Découverte de la Chouette d’Or,' screening May 2–3, 2025, reveals the solutions to the riddles and the exact hiding place of the treasure.
  • The identities of the two discoverers remain confidential, with even their families unaware of their success, according to co-organizer Michel Becker.
  • Organizers have announced a sequel to the hunt, with a higher-value prize designed by Christofle and an international scope, beginning with a riddle released on April 24, 2025.
  • The new hunt aims to modernize the experience with a shorter timeline of 3–6 years, continuing the legacy of the original Chouette d’Or adventure.
