    A year has passed and time has come for THE GRAND ODYSSEY to return to the Shores of Sea Of Thieves! Prepare yourselves for the unexpected!

    Adventure Awaits!


    I. What is The Grand Odyssey?

    The Grand Odyssey is one of Sea Of Thieves' oldest and most grandiose community event brought you by the Fortune Union. This Event is a Scavenger Hunt, a Treasure Hunt, and a Race! This Event will pit up to 50 Crews of Pirates against each other in an adventure to acquire the treasure of the Duke of the Ancient Spire!

    II. When does it start?

    The Grand Odyssey is set to happen on April 20th, 2019 at:

    -12PM PDT
    -3PM EDT
    -8PM BST

    III. Who can participate?

    This year's edition offers all sorts of changes. This year, we will limit the number of participants. We will be accepting a maximum of 50 Crews composed of 3-4 Pirates in this competition!

    Whether you're more comfortable on a Brigantine or a Galleon, it's up to you!

    Assemble your crews!

    IV. How can I register my Crew?

    Registration is simple!

    You can sign your Crew up by contacting us through Twitter

    You can sign up by posting directly in this Forum Thread

    You can sign up by directly contacting us through Fortune's Discord.

    You will need to provide the following information:

    • GamerTags of all participating pirates.
    • A Unique Crew Name
    • 1 Discord ID (in-case we need to contact you)
    • 1 Twitter ID (REQUIRED to provide Proofs Of Completion)

    ----REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON APRIL 18TH , 2019---

    V. What are the rules?

    You and your crew will be tasked to complete 13 Riddles and provide a Proof Of Completion for every one of them.

    Once a Riddle is completed, the next one will be made available to you and all the other participants.

    Those who have yet to complete their Riddle will still have to provide their Proof Of Completion before moving on to the next Riddle.

    A Crew is composed of a minimum of 3 pirates and a maximum of 4 pirates.

    The individual Gamertags are needed to validate the Crew submissions of Proof of Completion.

    Each Proof Of Completion must contain the Gamertags of the participants. Either through Non-Verbal Command, Chat, or Name Plate.

    Crew Roster changes can be made up until 48hrs before the Event starts.
    Officials have to be notified for those changes (via Twitter, the Forums or Discord).

    The Crew name is a vital component when it comes to search for your submissions on Twitter, which is why it is important for each Crew to have a Unique Name.

  • AHOY EVERYONE!

    Here is a clarification post for the PROOF OF COMPLETION component of The Grand Odyssey 2

    During the Event, your Crew will be tasked with solving 13 Riddles.

    Each riddle, in itself a small challenge, will contain a challenge your crew must complete in order to move on to the next one.

    [Question: How do get we the riddles?]

    The first riddle will be published publicly via this twitter account (@FakeTunaTweet) on April 20th at 8pm BST/3pm EDT/12pm PDT under the #TheGrandOdysseyRiddle hashtag.

    Once a Crew solved the first riddle correctly we will message them the second one privately and shortly after publish it under the #TheGrandOdysseyRiddle hashtag for everyone else to see as well.
    The same process applies to Riddles 3, 4, and so on and so forth.

    [Question: Can we just skip riddles then?]

    No.
    Even though we will be releasing all the riddles to the public eventually, Crews are not allowed to submit their riddle solutions out of order.

    Meaning that if you submit your solution for Riddle 4 without previously having your submission for Riddles 1, 2 and 3 being approved, it won't count and may lead to you losing the event.

    [Question: How do we submit our riddle solutions as proof?]

    You submit your solutions via twitter.

    You can tag @FakeTunaTweet in your tweets, but that is not mandatory.

    However it is most important that your tweet MUST contain the following information:

    [Your Crew's Name]
    [The Riddle the solution is for]
    [The hashtags #TheGrandOdyssey and #SeaOfThieves]
    [Attached picture or videoclip of solution]

    Each picture or videoclip must contain all the Gamertags of your Crew on screen.

    An example* of how a submission for "Riddle 14" would have to look like is this tweet:

    *Mind you, this example is with a one man crew. Poor Thor.
    If your Crew is made up of 3 or 4 people, we will require all 3 or 4 names to be on screen.

    [Question: Does the picture or videoclip have to be uploaded to twitter?]

    No - allthough it would be the easiest - if you are streaming you are also allowed to clip it on stream and simply submit the link to the clip as part of your solution.

    The same goes for uploading clips to youtube, streamable, or picture uploads to imgur etc. etc.

    As long as the picture or videoclip is properly attached to the tweet itself it's all good.

  • Here we go everyone, enjoy the Seas out there !
