Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Sandy Competition quest guide

Thousands of competition ideas exist in the universe. In Disney Dreamlight Valley, we’re all about building sandcastles to decide our character’s fates. The ‘A Sandy Competition’ quest will have you crafting a beach key using Dazzle Beach’s materials while challenging someone to a castle-building competition.

A Sandy Competition quest walkthrough

You’ll begin the ‘A Sandy Competition’ quest after reaching level four friendship with Jasmine. Following the events of The Enchanted Flower, she’ll tell you about the information she learned from the Secret Journal, mentioning that you need to find a key to it. She mentions the key recipe involving Sea Sand Sparks and suggests you visit Moana for more details.

Crafting a Sea Sand Torch

Once you visit Moana and explain the situation, she reveals you need to collect sparks from a magical Sea Sand Torch. You’ll receive the torch’s recipe and a task to obtain the following materials:

• Softwood (5)
• Fiber (5)
• Sand (3)
• Aquamarine

These materials are readily available in early-game areas like the Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, and Dazzle Beach. Once you have each item, bring them to Moana to receive a Sea Sand Torch in return that you can place anywhere on 💧Dazzle Beach.

Obtaining a Special Starfish

After placing the torch, chat with Jasmine before running to the beach with her. She’ll grab the spark and give it to you, revealing that you also need a “Special starfish.” Fortunately, we have a knowledgeable demigod, Maui, who is conveniently familiar with this creature. He’s caught it before and will give it to you if you beat him in a competition.

Building a sandcastle

Following this peculiar revelation, talk to Jasmine about potential competition ideas. She’ll tell you about sandcastle competitions in Agrabah, which your character will quickly agree to before advancing the quest. Jasmine will approach Maui about it, but you’ll need to make your own sandcastle kit. You’ll need to collect the following items:

• Sand (50)
• Clay (14)
• Seaweed (7)

Sand and seaweed are available in Dazzle Be🌄ach, while clay appears in the Glade of Trust, Sunlit Plateau, and💙 the Forgotten Lands. Use these materials to make the following sandcastle parts:

• Sand towers (4)
• Sand walls (3)
• Sand door

Once you have each material, you’ll find all three options under Furniture in your crafting station. With everything assembled, talk to Jasmine again to receive an Agrabah-styled centerpiece. Now, you’re free to place everything on the beach in a way that resembles a sandcastle. Each piece is divided into walls, a door, towers, and the centerpiece, which you can individually place to express creativity.

Crafting a Beach Key

After a quick chat with Maui, he and Jasmine will talk about the competition. He’s very impressed with your efforts and admits he built his sandcastle too close to the water, causing it to wash away into the ocean. He’ll give you both the starfish. Everyone had fun, and you now have everything you need to make the Beach Key. You’ll find the Beach Key under Functional Items in your crafting table menu.

Once you make the Beach Key using your newly-acquired starfish and Sea Sand Sparkles, return to Aladdin and Jasmine’s home before unlocking the Secret Journal. You’ll learn a shocking discovery about it, making you and Jasmine more intrigued to uncover its mysteries and unlock its second lock. This conversation wraps up Disney Dreamlight Valley’s ‘A Sandy Competition’ quest, with the next mission available once Jasmine reaches level seven friendship.
