Does the “official” coordinate for the final image puzzle seem off? It plots as the green dot below, which is about six meters from the building corner. The point of the arrow of the image looked to me like it was on the actual building corner in OSM, so I used the coordinates off that vertex, which plots in red below:

Thanks everyone. The solutions are indeed on the community website now, including how to obtain the correct location.

I’ve picked the winners but can’t say who that is until someone has been in touch. But I can say that the closest guess was just 1.99m away from my actual treasure location. That is so cool to see (and makes me happy that the puzzle wasn’t completely impossible)!

Here are the top guesses, close to the treasure on Verdon Beach, just west of Marseille.

 

Ah so we had the right beach! Very good. Will you be releasing a list of all contestants closest guess? I would be very curious to see how we measured up to the other pirates

Just curious; what did it take to achieve the 2025 gold badge? Did you have to get within a certain distance of the treasure?
