Every Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt Year 1995-2026: The Master List
Quick answer: Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts launched in 1995 with twelve hidden models a year. Every year since is listed below with its own full guide – and the upgraded Super Treasure Hunt version of each year is indexed on our STH master list.
How Treasure Hunts Work
Treasure Hunts are chase cars hidden inside ordinary mainline cases. From 1995 to 2012 they wore special paint, Real Riders and green-striped cards; from 2013 the series was simplified and the flame-in-circle logo moved behind the car. The full identification system is in our STH identification guide and the Treasure Hunt guide.
