You Are Invited to Join the World’s Biggest Marble & Treasure Hunt

YOU’RE INVITED TO HUNT TREASURE AND BE PART OF HISTORY

Bring Your Family and Friends to the World’s Biggest Marble Hunt 10-Year Anniversary

The World’s Largest Organized Multi-Chest Marble Treasure Hunt Begins July 23, 2026

For 10 years, the World’s Biggest Marble Hunt has transformed handmade art marbles into real-world treasure.

Now artists, glass studios, galleries, collectors, marble hunters, hiders, and groups around the world have come together to create the largest adventure in the event’s history—and you are invited to be part of it.

Bring your family and friends, follow the clues, discover new places, learn about extraordinary handmade glass art, and experience the excitement of searching for real treasure.

You do not need special experience, a ticket, or a purchase. You only need to join the hunt, watch for the clues, and begin your adventure.

This is not simply an anniversary celebration.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME PART OF HISTORY.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT IS IN — AND HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE

385 REGISTERED TREASURE CHESTS

$60,102 IN HANDMADE ART AND TREASURE

These are the official announced totals, and they may continue to climb as bonus treasure chests are added. Hundreds of complete treasure chests and thousands of individual handmade marbles are expected to be hidden during this coordinated worldwide anniversary celebration.

This historic event brings together the largest worldwide collaboration of marble artists, studios, galleries, collectors, groups, hunters, and hiders ever assembled for one marble-hunting adventure.

Hundreds of treasure chests. Thousands of handmade marble treasures. One worldwide anniversary hunt.

FROM ONE LEGENDARY TREASURE CHEST TO 385 WORLDWIDE ADVENTURES

In 2022, 158 leading glass and marble artists, along with the Corning Museum of Glass, helped create the legendary treasure chest containing $45,000 worth of handmade art marbles.

That single treasure chest made marble and glass history.

For the 10-Year Anniversary, that spirit has grown into 385 registered treasure chests, each creating a separate adventure for someone to experience. Numerous additional marble hunts will place individual handmade marbles into communities, giving the public even more opportunities to discover contemporary glass art.

Some treasures may be found on the first day. Others may remain hidden for months or even years. The event continues until the treasures are discovered.

DISCOVER HANDMADE ART, NOT ORDINARY TOY MARBLES

Every official anniversary treasure chest contains at least three handmade contemporary art marbles, and many contain much more. Hiders have also added artwork, collectibles, and other family-friendly surprises to make each discovery memorable.

These marbles are individually handmade pieces of contemporary glass art created by talented artists. Many are unique, collectible, and completely one of a kind. The hunt is an opportunity to find treasure while learning about the people, skill, imagination, and tradition behind this remarkable art form.

Artists and collectors are placing work they value into the world so a stranger, a family, or a future collector can experience the joy of discovering it completely free.

YOUR FIRST TREASURE CHEST IS WAITING SOMEWHERE

The worldwide 10-Year Anniversary hunt begins:

THURSDAY, JULY 23, 2026

Join the World’s Biggest Marble Hunt Facebook Group, watch for treasure posts and clues, and be ready to explore. There is no master list revealing every hiding place in advance. Many locations are still secret or listed only as mystery locations because each hunt is created independently by the artist, studio, marble hunter, collector, or hider behind it.

You may not know whether a treasure will appear near you until its clues are posted. That mystery is part of the adventure. A chest could be waiting in your community, in a place you visit, or somewhere that inspires your next trip.

Participation is completely free. There is no entry fee, ticket, charge, or purchase required.

To give as many people as possible the chance to experience the adventure, each family may find one official anniversary treasure chest and participate in up to two individual marble hunts. After that, families must give back by hiding treasure before continuing to find more. Please read and follow the complete hunt rules before participating.

You can also hunt for individual hidden marbles whenever hunts are posted near you. Whether you find a complete chest or your first handmade marble treasure, you will be joining a worldwide community built around art, adventure, generosity, and discovery.

A WORLDWIDE PAY-IT-FORWARD MOVEMENT

The World’s Biggest Marble Hunt has always been about more than finding treasure. It is about artists, collectors, hunters, and hiders sharing handmade art with the world and giving someone else the unforgettable experience of discovering something truly special.

Over the past decade, the movement has introduced thousands of people to handmade contemporary art marbles, created new collectors, supported artists, and grown into a worldwide community of more than 65,000 people.

Thank you to every artist, studio, gallery, collector, group, marble hunter, and hider who helped make this historic event possible. The treasures may be hidden by individuals, but together they form one extraordinary worldwide gift to the public.

That is the magic of the World’s Biggest Marble Hunt:

Handmade art. Adventure. Family fun. Community. Paying it forward.

BONUS TREASURE CHEST REGISTRATION REMAINS OPEN THROUGH JULY 20

Artists, studios, galleries, collectors, marble hunters, groups, and hiders who missed the official count may still join the event. You may register your first treasure chest or add more treasure chests to the ones you have already entered.

These late additions will be listed as bonus treasure chests and added to the website totals, allowing the amount of handmade art, treasure, and adventure shared with the public to continue growing.
