Dubbed “On the Trail of the Golden Owl,” this treasure search attracted tens of thousands of participants from around the globe, all vying to locate a statue crafted from gold, silver, and adorned with diamonds. The estimated value of the treasure is around $165,000, according to reports from Newsweek.

The origins of the treasure hunt can be traced back to a book by Régis Hauser, who was instrumental in the quest by burying the statue. The hunt began in 1993 and involved a series of intricate puzzles and riddles laid out by French artist Michel Becker. Becker not only authored the book “Sur la Trace de la Chouette d’Or” but also illustrated it and sculpted the stunning gold-and-silver owl.

Participants were required to decipher a total of 11 puzzles outlined in the book, along with a 12th hidden puzzle. Successfully solving these challenges would lead to a token revealing the location of the grand prize. The intricate nature of the riddles kept participants engaged over the decades, as they sought to uncover the mystery surrounding the statue's resting place.

As the hunt concluded, the thrill and excitement surrounding the Golden Owl's discovery highlight the enduring appeal of treasure hunts and the community formed by those who participated in this remarkable journey. The conclusion of the quest not only marks the end of an era but also celebrates the creativity and determination of treasure hunters worldwide.
