LONDON, UK – 12th MAY, 2026 – Ubisoft and Unsolved Hunts unveiled Gold & Crystal – The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway, a treasure hunt. To celebrate the release of Assassin’s Creed™ Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft has partnered with French startup Unsolved Hunts, Europe’s leading treasure hunt specialist, to create a worldwide treasure hunt. Players will have the opportunity to win a $500,000 treasure hidden in the Caribbean.
To embark on this immersive adventure set in the golden age of piracy, players can already preorder their access to the hunt starting from €34,99 on the official website, goldandcrystal.com. The hunt will officially begin on 9th November, 2026.
Gold & Crystal combines several elements that must be deciphered: a crypted message in a bottle, a map of the Caribbean, and a collection of letters and archives containing 15 puzzles, packed with Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced references. The puzzles are entirely remote and can be solved from anywhere in the world, without prior knowledge of the game. Cracking them will lead to the location of a chest, buried somewhere in the Caribbean. This hunt is designed to last between two and five years.
The first player to find the location will get to go to the Caribbean to unearth the chest and win a treasure valued at $500,000. The prize includes an authentic pirate treasure: a crystal skull - replica of the famous skull from the game – crafted by French lapidary artisan Hervé Obligi, and a chest filled with gold coins, minted with the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced logo, thanks to the expertise of AuCOFFRE, a company, expert in precious metals trading.
