Walt Disney Imagineering Unveils the Final Two Clues in Stolen S.E.A. Artifact Scavenger Hunt

Walt Disney Imagineering Unveils the Final Two Clues in Stolen S.E.A. Artifact Scavenger Hunt

If you’ve been keeping up with the S.E.A. artifact theft mystery, Walt Disney Imagineers have recently shared the final two clues.

S.E.A. Artifact Scavenger Hunt Clues

Walt Disney Imagineering has been leading fans on a digital scavenger hunt to uncover a stolen Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.) artifact teased at D23. A recap of the clues so far, including correspondence and newspaper clippings, seemed to point to one of Disneyland’s iconic mountains: Big Thunder Mountain.

An earlier clue referenced a jewel that was discovered “in the caverns” that has a “colorful glow” in a town called “the biggest little boom,” and the last clues shared indicated that the thief used a time-traveling device. Buried within each clue were important individual letters that, when unscrambled, would reveal the name of the thief.

The official Walt Disney Imagineering Instagram page has revealed the 10th and 11th clues in this mystery. Both are aged, typewritten poems discovered among the archives. The 10th clue reads:

Have you guessed my name?

It made S.E.A. reject me, such a shame.

S.E.A. assumed the worst of me.

All because of my family tree.

Seek their photo and you’ll find

My father, the one who left me behind.

Where has he gone? If only I knew.

A perilous curse he could never undo

The statue he holds leads only to woe.

Your letter this time… is a pair that glow.

The 11th clue reads:

Gaze out over the riverfront,

To find the last letter on this mysterious hunt.

Seeking adventure, I now see

It’s not about proving my moxie.

Adventuring gives you so much more,

Opens your mind & our heart with each new shore.

I hope you enjoyed the trip and views

Here’s the last hint for my name to peruse:

An ancient giant, steady and true

Has seen it all – a time traveler, too?

You’ll find fourteen in the sign.

But you’ll need it thrice for that name of mine.

Then take all the letters and shuffle them around.

If you wish to speak this thief’s name out loud.

Imagineering also included the advice that these riddles can be solved by digging through photos of Disneyland.

ATTENTION, ADVENTURERS!

After the S.E.A.’s artifact went missing at D23, they need our help to figure out the
thief’s name.

Our friend, S.E.A. Archivist Bonnie Booker, says the thief is leaving riddles behind with
clues to their name, with a letter as the answer to each riddle. However, these letters
that make up the name are scrambled in the wrong order.

These riddles can all be solved online by looking up images of Disneyland. While Disneyland serves as the inspiration for this adventure and adventurers can come to the
park, all riddles can be solved completely at home. It’ll be challenging, but our friend, S.E.A. Archivist Bonnie Booker, says this is the perfect adventure for explorers to prove
themselves as S.E.A. field researchers!

Happy exploring, sleuths!

In the caption of their Instagram post, it reads: “As you all search online, remember that you’re looking for a specific letter for each riddle. Riddle Eleven says we should unscramble the letters to form the correct name.”

The Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.)

For the uninitiated, the Society of Explorers and Adventurers is devoted to, well, adventure and exploration! S.E.A.’s mission is to reveal truths, right wrongs, and live to tell the tale. You might’ve heard of their original motto, “Exploratio continua” in Latin, or “continued exploration” in English. In the modern day, that saying is coupled with “wonder, explore, and discover.”

That also means the Society is always looking for the next blood-rushing, exciting adventure to embark on! From mounting expeditions into the unknown to chronicling the explorations of other adventurers, S.E.A. is proud to protect the artistic achievements of human society. Society members climbed the highest mountain peaks, rowed through the world’s longest rivers, and built countless imaginative inventions that expanded the organization’s ability to explore.

With humble beginnings dating as far back as the 1500s, S.E.A. was founded by a distinguished body of mariners, scientists, inventors, and artists. The Society traces its origins back to the mythic Fortress Exploration, its earliest known headquarters. Here, early explorers exchanged information about daring adventures and new inventions, and shared their collective knowledge for innovation for all.

Since then, S.E.A. has remained a hub of ingenuity and discovery, passionately dedicated to exploring what is not yet understood. To accomplish this, members meticulously document their long history—from finding lost artifacts to retracing the steps of their adventurer alumni—and embark on modern expeditions to under-researched locations. Or, to put it simply: they identify, conserve, and curate the world’s unknowns around us. After all, a mystery is only the catalyst to adventure!
