It's heartening to see a prominent author like Ernest Cline recognize the video game community like this, especially seeing how much video game culture is represented in his books. Still, it does have a very loyal fanbase, one which will surely be thrilled at an event like this. Roblox offers players a lot of freedom, but it's got a long way to go before it's on the level of the fictional Oasis. It's wish fulfillment on the highest level, and it might be the case that such a fantasy is impossible to truly replicate in the real world. Cline's clearly excited too, as he has gone on record stating that “Roblox is the closest thing to the Oasis in real life, and this contest is the closest thing to the treasure hunt in my book.” This seems a bit generous in Cline's books the Oasis is a massive VR wonderland where players can go anywhere and do anything that their hearts desire. This is a pretty exciting event for Roblox's surprisingly extensive fanbase.
Players who complete this quest successfully will earn free digital goods themed after the event. Apparently more hints can be found inside Ready Player Two itself, so players are encouraged to read the book in preparation when it launches on November 24th.
Keen Roblox fans will want to tune into this event, as it will feature hints that will help them navigate the treasure hunt. The event kicks off on December 1st with a live Q&A between Ernest Cline himself and Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki. It will take the form of an online treasure hunt, similar to the ones undertaken by the main characters in the books themselves. That event drew in a whopping 13 million, and Roblox anticipates that this event will be even bigger. The Roblox website anticipates that this will be the biggest book tour event in publishing history, a bold claim inspired by a similar event the website hosted to celebrate the release of the Ready Player One film adaptation in 2018. Now Roblox is featuring a brand new tie-in event to coincide with Ernest Cline's new book, Ready Player Two.
