‘A Sandy Competition’ begins with you talking to Jasmine about the mysterious, locked Secret Journal that appeared within the Enchanted Flower’s petals in ‘The Enchanted Flower.’ However, Jasmine thinks you can unlock it with Moana’s help.
Talk to Moana and Gather Materials for Moana’s Sea Sand Torch
The first step in ‘A Sandy Competition’ is to talk to Moana, who tells you all about gathering Sea Sand Sparks. However, to collect the Sparks, you’ll need to gather the following materials to make Moana’s Sea Sand Torch:
- x5 Softwood – found on the ground around the Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Forest of Valor, and Glade of Trust.
- x5 Fiber – crafted at a crafting station using Seaweed.
- x3 Sand – collected by digging with your Royal Shovel on Dazzle Beach.
- x1 Aquamarine – found by mining rocks at Dazzle Beach or the Forest of Valor.
Once you’ve gathered all the materials, give them to Moana, who gives you the Sea Sand Torch in return.
Place Moana’s Sea Sand Torch on Dazzle Beach, Then Talk to Jasmine and Maui
Afterward, head to Dazzle Beach and place the Sea Sand Torch in your preferred spot by selecting and positioning it using the Furniture Menu. Once you’ve placed it, talk to Jasmine and meet her at Dazzle Beach to gather the Sparks together. However, Jasmine tells you that this is only the first step towards opening the Secret Journal, adding that you also need a Special Starfish. She suggests talking to Maui to see if he knows anything about it.
Talk to Maui about the Starfish, who says he’ll give it to you if you beat him in a competition. Talk to Jasmine again, and choose any dialogue option you prefer to agree to a Sandcastle Competition. After speaking, follow Jasmine and watch her conversation with Maui about the competition. It’s time to get ready to compete!

Decorate the Beach With the Sandcastle and See Who Wins the Competition
After speaking with Jasmine again, head to Dazzle Beach and build the Sandcastle using the Sand walls, towers, and door in your Furniture Menu. You can make the Sandcastle in any way you like, as a miniature version of the Agrabah’s Palace. Of course, you can place the Sand towers in the corners so they line up with the walls, as per a traditional Sandcastle, as pictured above.
When you’ve finished building the Sandcastle, speak with Maui about what you made and then listen to Jasmine and Maui chatting – it turns out he had a bit of trouble putting his Sandcastle together, so he gives you the Starfish as the clear victor.
Craft the Beach Key and Unlock the First Lock of the Secret Journal
Talk to Jasmine again, who says you’ll need to use the Sea Sand Sparks and the Starfish to make the Beach Key at any crafting station. Fortunately, this isn’t tricky and means another trip to a crafting station to craft the Beach Key.
It’s now time to go inside Aladdin and Jasmine’s house to get one step closer to solving the mystery of the Secret Journal. Once inside the house, use the Beach Key to open the first lock on the Secret Journal by interacting with the Enchanted Flower and selecting the Beach Key from your inventory. Afterward, talk to Jasmine for a final time to learn more about the Journal and complete ‘A Sandy Competition.’ Of course, the mystery continues, and you’ll have to complete Jasmine’s Level 7 Friendship quest called ‘Hot and Cold’ to open the Journal fully and reveal its secrets.
