What are some of the world's best treasure hunts?

Over deze aflevering

After over three decades of relentless searching, the Golden Owl was finally found on October 3, 2024. This €150,000 treasure was hidden back in 1993 by writer Régis Hauser, who took on the pseudonym Max Valentin to publish ‘Sur la trace de la chouette d'or’  ("On the Trail of the Golden Owl"). The book has 11 riddles, each one a clue to the owl’s secret location, setting off what would become the longest-running treasure hunt ever organised. More than 200,000 enthusiasts, known as “chouetteurs,” joined the chase.   What does the Golden Owl look like? Are there other famous treasure hunts like this one?
