Are you searching for those elusive seashells scattered throughout the Dress to Impress lobby? I’ve cracked the code to this summer’s most coveted accessory – the exclusive Seashell Crown! After spending countless hours hunting down every last shell and perfecting the quest, I’m thrilled to share my complete guide that’ll have you wearing this stunning crown in no time.

The Seashell Quest, introduced in the DTI Summer Update Part 3 on July 12, 2025, has quickly become one of the most sought-after challenges in the game. Unlike the seasonal Seashells currency used for purchasing items, this quest involves finding three hidden collectible seashells and crafting them into a beautiful crown that perfectly complements any beach-themed outfit. Whether you’re a seasoned fashionista or new to the world of DTI, this comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of unlocking this limited-time treasure.

Quick Overview: Dress to Impress Seashell Quest Requirements

Before diving into the detailed steps, here’s what you need to know about completing the Seashell Quest in Dress to Impress:

Requirement	Details
Number of Seashells	3 total seashells to find
Carry Limit	Can only carry 1 seashell at a time
Time Needed	5-minute crafting timer after placing all shells
Location	Lobby area during intermission
Reward	Seashell Crown (permanent accessory)
Availability	Summer 2025 event (limited time)

Complete Dress to Impress Seashell Locations Guide (2026)

Finding all three seashells is the first challenge you’ll face. I’ve mapped out the exact locations to save you precious intermission time:

Seashell #1: The Spawn Point Shell

The first seashell is practically begging to be found! As soon as you spawn in the lobby, look directly at your feet. You’ll spot this shimmering shell right on the floor near the spawn area. It’s impossible to miss if you know where to look, making it the perfect starting point for your quest.

Seashell #2: The Lobby Centerpiece

Your second shell awaits further into the lobby area. Walk past the initial spawn zone and explore the central decorative areas. This seashell sits prominently near some of the summer-themed decorations. Look for it on the ground near potted plants or decorative elements – it’s positioned to catch your eye as you explore.

Seashell #3: The Rock Formation Shell

The final seashell requires a bit more exploration. Head outside the main lobby area toward the large rock formation. You’ll find this last shell nestled near the base of the rock, almost as if it washed up from an invisible tide. This one’s slightly more hidden than the others, so check all angles around the rock.

How to Complete the Seashell Quest in Roblox DTI?

Now that you know where to find the seashells, let me walk you through the entire process from start to finish:

Step 1: Wait for Intermission

The Seashell Quest can only be completed during the intermission period between fashion rounds. Make sure you have enough time – you’ll need at least 5-7 minutes total to complete everything without rushing.

Step 2: Collect Your First Seashell

Start with Seashell #1 near the spawn point. Click on it to pick it up. Remember, you can only carry one shell at a time, so don’t try to grab multiple shells before heading to the secret room.

Step 3: Access the Secret Crafting Room

Here’s where things get interesting! The secret room isn’t immediately obvious. To access it:

Look for the giant DTI logo on the wall in the lobby
Find the potted plants near the logo (either left or right side)
Jump onto the floor pot first
Then jump to the hanging pot
Finally, jump through the DTI logo itself – you’ll pass right through!

Step 4: Place Your First Seashell

Once inside the secret room, you’ll see a crafting pedestal. Place your first seashell on it by clicking the interaction prompt. The shell will appear on the pedestal, glowing softly.

Step 5: Repeat for Remaining Shells

Exit the secret room and return to the lobby. Collect Seashell #2, bring it back to the secret room, and place it. Then do the same with Seashell #3. Each trip takes about 30-45 seconds if you’re efficient.

Step 6: Start the Crafting Timer

After placing all three seashells, the crafting process automatically begins. You’ll see a 5-minute countdown timer appear. During this time, you can:

Play another fashion round
Explore other secrets in the lobby
Practice your runway walks
Chat with friends about your upcoming crown

Step 7: Claim Your Seashell Crown

Once the timer reaches zero, return to the secret room. Your beautiful Seashell Crown will be ready! Click on the pedestal to claim it, and it’ll automatically add to your accessories inventory.

2026 Pro Tips for Quest Success

Through my multiple attempts and helping friends complete this quest, I’ve discovered several strategies that guarantee success:

Time Management is Key

Start the quest immediately when intermission begins
Move quickly but don’t panic – you have more time than you think
If you miss a round, don’t leave! Wait for the next intermission

Navigation Shortcuts

Sprint by holding Shift (PC) or using the run button (mobile)
Jump while moving to maintain momentum
Memorize the path to the secret room to save precious seconds

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t leave the game before claiming your crown – progress doesn’t save!
Don’t try to carry multiple shells – the game won’t let you
Don’t forget which shells you’ve already placed – keep mental notes

Mobile vs PC Differences

Mobile players: Use the jump button near the plants for easier access
PC players: Space bar timing is crucial for the DTI logo jump
Touch controls can be finicky – be patient with placement

Secret Room Discovery & Lore Connections

The secret room itself is fascinating beyond just the Seashell Quest. Located behind the DTI logo, this hidden area connects to the broader Dress to Impress lore involving mysteries and secrets. While crafting your crown, take a moment to explore the room – you might discover hints about future updates or hidden Easter eggs!

The placement of this room isn’t random either. The DTI logo concealing a secret area suggests the developers love hiding content in plain sight. This same philosophy applies to other secrets in the game, making exploration always rewarding.

Once you’ve earned your Seashell Crown, you’ll want to show it off properly! Here are my favorite styling combinations:

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Based on community feedback and my own experience, here are solutions to frequent problems:

“I can’t find the third seashell!”

Check all sides of the rock formation
Look slightly behind the rock too
Sometimes it clips into the ground – adjust your camera angle

“The secret room won’t open!”

Make sure you’re jumping through the DTI logo, not beside it
Try approaching from different angles
On mobile, tap jump multiple times for better success

“My timer disappeared!”

Don’t panic – the crafting continues even if you can’t see it
Return after 5 minutes from when you placed the last shell
The crown will still be there waiting

“I left the game and lost progress!”

Unfortunately, progress doesn’t save between sessions
You’ll need to start over in a new game
Set aside 10 minutes to complete it all at once

Integration with Summer Update Features
