FindTheDoctor (series)

#FindTheDoctor was clue-finding game set up and released in late 2021 as a promotion for the forthcoming Series 13. The ultimate goal was to determine the password to a hidden page on the official Doctor Who website. Each clue held a consisted of one letter of the password as well as a hint towards finding the next clue.

Clues

 * The first clue was hinted at in the Series 13 trailer released on the Doctor Who YouTube channel on 26 July 2021. The video had a very faintly written "/mystery" at the bottom of the screen, leading to a web page on the Doctor Who website, which revealed the first clue as  D , in the word hidden in the welcome message, and hinting that it begins: 13:13.13.


 * On 13 August, the next clue was released on the same web page as the webcast A message from Yaz. The video ended with the text "The next clue is coming soon", with the  C  coloured red.


 * The third clue came on 16 August with a promotional image from upcoming series, which was posted exactly at the time 13:13 and held a set of graffitied co-ordinates for Yaz's Park Hill flat in Sheffield. The number  5  in the co-ordinates was coloured green, giving it away as the next clue.


 * The fourth clue was gained by following the co-ordinates of the previous clue, where a recent Park Hill photo on Google Maps (uploaded by a user called "John Smith") contained a TARDIS that had "FIND ME 14/07" graffitied. The  E  was uniquely coloured red, making it the fourth clue.


 * The fifth letter was obtained by finding an Instagram post from 14 July, from the Doctor Who account which depicted of the Doctor holding up a piece of morse code reading Liverpool Gallery. The letter  G  was highlighted.


 * Indeed, at the Liverpool Gallery a painting entitled La Boîte Bleue showed a landscape featuring the TARDIS and an anachronistic rocket in the 1860s. The letter  Y  was capitalised, making it the sixth clue.


 * The rocket in the painting is found at the Science Museum. An exhibition at the museum was called Unknown object—RHCTDM-OEI-OLOAW/0209, and was a display of a sonic screwdriver, with the letter  V  capitalised.


 * The next clue will likely be derived from the display name: "RHCTDM-OEI-OLOAW/0209" with the letters being an anagram of "DOCTOR-WHO-EMAIL", with the numbers "0209" representing the date "2 September".
