Mid Ship Detective Agency

When playing - can you carry it over the course of several days? Do a couple of steps one day, then a couple more the next and so on? I ask because our mobility is kind of limited and it might take us a little bit of effort each day to "get er done" as my father liked to say.

I don’t see why not! If memory serves, you get a paper map and a card with a QR code. You hold the card up in front of the various paintings and it “activates” it….revealing the clue. I don’t think there’s any time limit at all. The card should work whenever you happen across one of the paintings on the map.

Thank you =)
I was worried it might reset at Midnight or something.

No time limit, we started ours on the first day and solved it on our last day

Yes you can carry it over however long you like. I did one of them in a day then the other one I did throughout the rest of the cruise as and when I was near things. It was great fun! I hope the Wish still has it.

Great fun. I know I did it at least twice on our Fantasy 7 night sailing. I'm sure that I stretched it out over a couple days, at the least! Our next cruise is on the Dream and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

It does not reset, but it is not available all the time. The pictures "start" around 10am and "stop" around 10pm. Check the navigator for your cruise, so that you know when it is open.

I think they reset it between cruise sailings. As long as it's on the same cruise, it should work. I did mine on the fantasy over the course of a week.

We did it over multiple days and I'm sure many (possibly most) other families do, as well. There are a lot of stations to go to (around 10?) throughout the entire ship, so it isn't a quickie activity. The fact that you can do it piecemeal at your leisure is a big plus, I'm sure as Disney intended.

There are 3 different scavenger hunts, btw. You can be in progress in all 3 at the same time if you wish. There is a scanning card you use that saves your progress, so progress is unique to the card (which you randomly pick up), not to you as a customer.
