Traxion has published a walkthrough for the latest Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6, the Shimanoyama Region challenge that sits in Series 5 Week 3 of the Festival Playlist.

The details on offer are thin. The guide covers how to complete the hunt, which in Forza Horizon terms usually means decoding a cryptic clue, performing the required action somewhere on the map, and then tracking down the chest that unlocks once you have done so. Traxion’s piece walks through those steps for this particular week. Beyond the name of the region and the playlist slot, the source does not spell out the clue, the reward, or how much of the map you need to cover, so we will not guess at any of that.

For most of our readers this is a curiosity rather than essential reading. Treasure Hunts are pure open-world fluff, the sort of thing Forza Horizon does to keep the weekly playlist ticking over between actual races. There is no lap time to chase and no setup to tune. If you are a dedicated sim racer who only dips into Horizon for the driving, you can skip this entirely and lose nothing.

That said, plenty of people who spend their evenings in a rig also keep a copy of Horizon around as a palate cleanser, and the Festival Playlist is where the game’s weekly content lives. Treasure Hunts count toward playlist completion, and completion is how you earn the rotating cars and cosmetics. If one of those rewards happens to be a car you want, a five-minute guide that stops you wandering the Shimanoyama hills aimlessly is worth its weight. Treat it as a shortcut, not a story.
