It is the epilogue of a mystery that had lasted for three decades. The riddle of the Golden Owl has probably been solved, and a replica of the golden bird discovered on Thursday October 3. However, questions remain unanswered and the silence of Michel Becker, the co-creator of the game, questions the community of “owls”.
According to Laurline Danguy des Déserts, director of the documentary In pursuit of the Golden Owl, invited in the Franceinfo Talk on Wednesday October 9, Michel Becker is reportedly preparing a big event to celebrate the end of the game and the release of the book of solutions.
The famous treasure hunt was launched in 1993 by Régis Hauser (aka Max Valentin) and Michel Becker. After the death of Max Valentin, the latter had recently relaunched the game, providing new clues to researchers.
