Toronto’s Most Epic Easter Treasure Hunt Celebrates Five Years With Over $5000 in Cash and Prizes

Two $500 and one $1000 handcrafted Smash Egg are up for grabs!

Treasure hunters, explorers, and real‑world questers, get ready to hit the streets, March 28th!

The city’s most epic Easter treasure hunt, known for its $1000 cash-filled Grand Prize Chocolate Smash Egg, is back and celebrating it’s 5th year! This year’s Grand Hunt drops over $5000 in cash and prizes across Toronto, including a $1000 Grand Prize Smash Egg and a full lineup of handcrafted cash‑filled chocolate eggs guaranteeing a cash reward from $100 to $1000. Two of those high‑value eggs come courtesy of Digital Extremes, creators of the hit video game, Warframe and the highly anticipated, Soulframe, who are powering up the Hunt with two $500 Smash Eggs.

On March 28, 2026 we are hiding 10 mini treasure chests throughout mid- and downtown Toronto. Inside each chest is a unique scroll for a sweet prize that can be redeemed at The Grand Order of Divine Sweets café at 1162 Queen St W. This year, every chest has a prize package that includes a cash prize egg ranging from $100-$1000!

To participate in the hunt, watch our stories on Instagram and Facebook (@thegoodsweetsto) starting at 10am on March 28th.

If you think you recognize a location from one of the clues, head there and see if you can be the first to find the treasure chest. If you find one, bring it to our café at 1162 Queen St W to discover what you’ve won!

Also, stay tuned to our socials early (@thegoodsweetsto) as we reveal the exciting prizes planned for this year’s Grand Hunt.
