As part of the alternate reality game used to promote Series 13, a series of fictional reviews published by the account John Smith were published on Google Maps. They contained references to multiple episodes of Doctor Who from both the 'classic' and 'revived' eras, as well as other parts of the alternate reality game and the recently opened Time Fracture experience.
John Smith had also uploaded an image of the TARDIS with the text "Find ME 14/07" painted on it. This led to the next clue for #FindTheDoctor: an Instagram post from 14 July 2021.[1] Additionally, the review of the Science Museum hinted towards another clue, Unknown object—RHCTDM-OEI-OLOAW/0209.
