Disney has identified Hazel Hightower as the character behind its six-week S.E.A. artifact mystery, and Disneyland visitors can pick up a commemorative ticket tied to the reveal for a limited time.
Hazel is the daughter of Harrison Hightower, the notorious collector from Tokyo DisneySea’s Tower of Terror. She took the Ridge Jewel to return it after her father stole it. The jewel is now displayed at the old Ticket Booth outside Pioneer Mercantile in Disneyland’s Frontierland.
Beginning October 20, guests with Disneyland park admission can ask a cast member at Pioneer Mercantile or use a MagicBand+ to receive a complimentary commemorative ticket. The keepsake is available for a limited time while supplies last.
Hazel also has an oar at The Tropical Hideaway in Adventureland, joining the display that honors Society of Explorers and Adventurers members.
Walt Disney Imagineering revealed Hazel and closed the riddle series in this seven-slide carousel:

Hazel’s final message ends the clue hunt
The carousel opens with Hazel’s portrait, then follows her travels through black-and-white illustrations, a farewell letter, a newspaper image and the final archive display. Bonnie Booker, the fictional archivist who guided the search, congratulates players and says goodbye for now.
The mystery began with reports of a stolen S.E.A. artifact. Each riddle produced a scrambled letter in the thief’s name. The search ran through eleven riddles before Hazel’s identity was confirmed.
