#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[1], 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[2] 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.[3] 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.[4] 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".
