How to Solve the Horizon Decades Winter Treasure Hunt
The “Horizon Decades” Winter season presents a riddle that simply instructs players to “Follow the Photo Clue.” Unlike traditional Treasure Hunts that require a specific stunt or race, this challenge is a pure navigational puzzle based on visual landmarks found in the snowy heights of the Sotoyama Region.
The photo clue depicts the Horizon Festival Treasure Chest sitting next to a rustic wooden hut. The most important visual identifiers are the large, jagged snow stalagmites in the background. These rock and ice formations are unique to the higher elevations of the northern Japan map in Forza Horizon 6.
Treasure Chest Map Location (Sotoyama Region)
To find the chest, head to the northernmost section of the map into the Sotoyama mountains. You are looking for a small cluster of buildings off the main paved roads. While the area is rugged, the terrain is accessible by most vehicles. If you have already completed the weekly Photo Challenge in the 2007 Peugeot 207 Super 2000, that car is an excellent choice for navigating the snowy inclines.
Once you arrive at the wooden hut, the treasure chest will be sitting right out front. Simply drive through it to bank your 100,000 Credits and 3 Forzathon Points toward your seasonal progress. If you’re looking to maximize your garage, check out our other Forza Horizon 6 car guides to see how to spend those new credits.
Completing this Treasure Hunt is essential for players aiming to unlock the high-tier seasonal reward cars. After smashing the chest, you can quickly fast-travel back to the lower elevations to finish the remaining Festival Playlist challenges.
