Unsolved Hunts

249, rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, Paris, 75010, France

Overview

Founded in 2021 in Paris, Unsolved (also branded Unsolved Hunts) develops and operates giant treasure hunts in partnership with historical monuments and major brands such as Le Puy du Fou and the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte. The company has already produced three large hunts that collectively drew 35,000 participants and generated significant media coverage, while also selling four companion board-game titles, giving it a portfolio of seven experiences. Management projects €1 million in revenue for 2025 and reports that the business is already profitable. Prize pools for winning teams can reach several hundred thousand euros, fueling strong consumer engagement. Having appeared on the French TV show “Qui Veut Être Mon Associé,” the team has secured additional strategic partnerships that bolster distribution and marketing reach. With fresh capital, Unsolved plans to run three international treasure hunts within the next 18 months—including a launch event in Paris—and two more in 2027, each offering up to €500,000 in prizes. The company is also developing a new line of historical investigation games styled after thriller novels like The Da Vinci Code to broaden its audience and diversify revenue streams.
