The golden owl: the solution is now known

It was in 1993: Régis Hauser buried somewhere in France a little bronze owl, to exchange for a gold in gold with a million francs at the time. To find it, it was necessary to solve eleven puzzles. What two “owners” succeeded last October. The place of discovery and the detailed solution are presented in a documentary, projected this weekend in several dozen rooms in France.

The “Treasury” was buried in Moselle

In the end, no big surprise: the countermark was good in the commune of Dabo, in Moselle, which many owners were convinced for a long time.

Fascinated by this treasure hunt, Samuel was last night at the meeting organized at the Mega CGR in Lanester, in Morbihan. “The solution is well built, not too obvious but still achievable. It had been found by a game, but there were many others who had found other solutions that could have been possible …

The genius to build this quest before the Internet

Other stories have been told about this quest, and which are perhaps sometimes more beautiful than the real solution. Do not put them aside and there is also this story around the course of “owners” … ANearly, was it so obvious? No, there were also false tracks. He really had the genius to build something before the internet and that it resists the internet. “

The two discoverers of the golden owl chose to keep anonymous and say they refused an offer of 300,000 euros for sculpture.

A new treasure hunt, international

A new treasure hunt will start, from the town of Dabo. This time to find a nice golden gold, currently being made. The organizer is not the creator of the first hunt, who died in 2009, but the artist who had created the illustrations, Michel Becker. He specifies that this quest will be international this time.

The owl will not necessarily be hidden in France, but the puzzles will be calibrated to withstand a little shorter. So those who were passionate about the first quest ready to stack? “”It makes you want, you have to buy the book to know what is the enigma because it is not in the documentary … You have to see, and if we want to embark on something that can give us a leisure time on several years, I think it can be very interesting and in the same line as the first enigma … It is a choice of life in the end, it is enriching but it will not be for me. “

The new quest should start in a few weeks in early June.

Other sessions to see the documentary are scheduled this Saturday like in Guingamp, Saumur or Saint-Nazaire.
