Overview

  • Michel Becker announced the cancellation of the second Chouette d’Or treasure hunt, citing a 'climat délétère' among participants.
  • The decision follows disputes over the revealed solutions to the original hunt and a fraud complaint filed by the A2CO on April 30, 2025.
  • The original Chouette d’Or hunt concluded in May 2025 with the official revelation of its solutions, but some participants questioned their authenticity.
  • Plans for the second edition included a global scope, a Christofle-crafted statuette valued at €250,000–300,000, and a preview 'énigme 0' released in early May.
  • Becker suggested the treasure hunt may return in the future under different leadership and more positive circumstances.
