Forza Horizon 6 Treasure Hunt not working? Start by naming which treasure you mean.
Most of the time a Forza Horizon 6 Treasure Hunt not working is not a broken hunt at all. The game has three separate things with treasure in the name, and the forum threads mix all three together โ which is why the fixes people quote at each other so often do nothing. Work out which one is on your screen first.
Three different things called treasure
Only the first one is what this site tracks.
Why your Forza Horizon 6 Treasure Hunt is not working, by symptom
Pick the line that describes what you are actually seeing. Each one has a different cause, and the fix for one does nothing for another.
START WITH WHAT YOU SEE
Most likely a Treasure Car. Those are a separate, permanent collectible and they never advance the Festival Playlist.
- The weekly hunt is an entry in the Festival Playlist named after a region โ "Hokubu Region", "Ohtani Region", and so on.
- Treasure Cars sit on the map permanently and are counted separately. Several large FH6 sites file both under one "treasure hunt" heading, which is where much of this confusion starts.
- Open the Festival Playlist for the current season and work from the entry there.
The Treasure Map is a paid map-reveal add-on. It is not the weekly hunt, and it has to be switched on by hand.
- Open the map โ players on Steam describe a prompt to press Y there to uncover.
- It reveals collectible locations. It does not reveal, and does not complete, the weekly Treasure Hunt.
- If nothing appears after that, the reports on Steam are about the add-on itself, not about the hunt.
There is no per-week riddle text. The clue is the photograph, and the wording beside it has been identical every week.
- Every hunt we have on record carries the same line: "Follow the Photo Clue to Discover the Treasure!"
- So the puzzle is reading the photo โ terrain, buildings, season โ not decoding a sentence.
- The hunt name gives you the region. That plus the photo is the whole clue.
We do not have a verified fix for this. What we can tell you is which locations we checked ourselves and which we are relaying from someone else.
- Check our entry for that hunt โ it states whether we re-checked the location in game or are passing on another outletโs find.
- Regions repeat. Nangan hosted a hunt twice, in two different places, so a guide from an earlier week can be right about the region and wrong about the spot.
- If you find it somewhere else, tell us. That correction is worth more to the next player than another unsourced workaround.
We do not know whether every single week has one, and we are not going to guess. Our own archive has gaps we cannot explain.
- Of the weeks we tried to document, three have no coverage anywhere we could find โ which is not the same as no hunt having run.
- Anyone stating flatly that a particular week had none is asserting a negative nobody has evidence for.
- If your Playlist genuinely has no Treasure Hunt entry, tell us and we will record it with your report named as the source.
The official Forza Forums are gone, so most links you will find for this are dead ends.
- forums.forza.net shut down in July 2026. Every FH6-era forum link in older guides now goes nowhere.
- Bug reports go to the Forza Feedback Portal; general help lives on support.forzamotorsport.net.
- The Steam discussions for app 2483190 are where FH6 players are actually comparing notes right now.
The Thursday rollover, and the bit of it we cannot confirm
The Festival Playlist rolls over every Thursday at 14:30 UTC and the hunt is replaced with a new one. If yours disappeared overnight and it was a Wednesday-into-Thursday overnight, that is almost certainly what happened rather than a bug.
What we cannot tell you is whether a chest you had already uncovered but never smashed survives the rollover. That claim is all over the guide sites and we could not find a single player report or official statement behind it, so we are not repeating it as fact. We have not confirmed this week's hunt yet. The front page updates as soon as we have.
Someone else walking it, if you would rather watch
An explainer of the mechanic itself rather than one week's chest, so it stays useful after Thursday. Not ours, not affiliated with us โ it loads only when you press play.
Where this came from
Two of the entries above are marked unverified, and that is the honest state of them: the widely repeated โfixesโ for those symptoms trace back to auto-generated guide sites with no player or developer report behind them, so they are not on this page. We would rather tell you what is not known. Same rule as everywhere else here: what we checked and what we didn't is stated rather than blurred.
- Traxion.GG โ Ohtani Region hunt (21 May) โ the constant clue line, and "the three points and 100,000 CR are yours"
- GamesRadar โ Hokubu Treasure Hunt โ the Blue Wristband as a fast-travel convenience โ not a gate
- Gamereactor โ region-by-region map guide โ the ten regions the hunts are named after
- Steam โ "Is anyone else having problems with the Treasure Map?" โ Treasure Map add-on reports
- Steam โ "Treasure map not working" โ the activation prompt on the map screen
Where to next
This week's hunt
The current chest, its clue, and the fastest route we found to it.
Every hunt on record
If yours already rolled over, it is in here with whatever we were able to verify.
Hunts by region

Field notes
What we could not resolve โ including a region name that four outlets use and the region lists do not.
