Yvon Crolet, a retired engineer in his late seventies, had been chasing the owl for twenty years, but now he believes that the whole game was a fraud from the very beginning. He had decoded the riddles and traveled to the spot they had specified. However, he returned from his dig empty-handed.
In 2018, he filed a formal complaint against Becker and Hauser’s family, who had inherited all the materials and information related to the golden owl, in an effort to force them to reveal the solution to the puzzles. The legal case is still ongoing. Becker refuses to respond to Crolet’s accusations that he tampered with the game while the case is open.
He states that at one point, he tried to sell the owl because he had grown weary of the game, but now his interest in it has been renewed because he is fascinated by the large community of players that the game has helped to create. In order to maintain people’s enthusiasm for the hunt, Becker has replaced the old, rusted bird with a shiny new substitute.
Despite his frustration with the game, Crolet admits that it has a certain level of genius to it and that he enjoyed his decades-long search for the most part.
To this day, the mystery of the golden owl remains unsolved.
