It’s been almost two and a half months since I read and saw Ready Player One and I’m finally ready to talk about it. I’m sure you know the feeling of loving a story so much and being so invested in the world and the characters that it hurts.

When Halliday, the creator of OASIS, suddenly dies, he leaves behind his massive fortune and also the future of his virtual paradise to the person who can find the Easter Egg he has hidden in the game. This announcement induces a mass treasure hunt throughout the entire OASIS. Several years later, still without any results, Wade is the first one to discover the first clue, and suddenly the whole world is back again in the rush of the hunt. But friendly competition is something that isn’t in the vocabulary of some players, and they might even be ready to take care of the competition in the real world. At that moment Wade realises the only way...
