READY PLAYER TWO Virtual Treasure Hunt Announced by Roblox

With Earnest Cline’s highly anticipated Ready Player Two novel out now, Roblox is looking to build on the hype with an Oasis-themed virtual treasure hunt that they are hosting that will take place inside the world of the game.

The event will kick off with a Q&A session inside the game between Roblox founder and CEO Dave Baszucki and Ready Player Two author Ernest Cline. The Q&A will provide players with hints and details about the treasure hunt. Cline said in a statement:

“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.”

The treasure hunt will launch on December 1st, and it’s open to all Roblox players. During the event, players will set off on a journey to explore seven different worlds and be challenged with tests and puzzles to find each of the relics that have been included in the event. Players who complete the treasure hunt will be awarded virtual goods designed specifically for the Ready Player Two/Roblox event.

Roblox and Ready Player Two are calling Gunters back into action for an epic treasure hunt that spans seven games and awards thousands of winners with cool prizes. Do you have what it takes to crack the clues and become one of the grand prize winners? There’s only one way to find out.

You can currently jump in and hang out in the event space, and those that do will get free themed merch “for a limited time.” For more information on the event head over to Roblox's website right here.

In 2018, Roblox and Warner Bros. collaborated on an event around the release of Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster adaptation of Ready Player One, and over 13 million people actively engaged with event on the Roblox platform. Baszucki said:

“The event we did on Roblox in 2018 for the Ready Player One movie had over 13 million people participate. I think it’s fair to say this is going to be even bigger.”

The Roblox treasure hunt event will start on December 1st at 10am. PT.
