Introduction

 

Welcome to my Ready Player One theme Multi Cache Series in this series i will reference the book and movie By Ernest Cline

 

"Hello. I am James Halliday. If you're watching this, I'm dead. Before I died, I created what we in the biz call an Easter egg. A hidden object in a game that gives special powers to whoever discovers it. The first person to find the egg I've hidden somewhere inside the OASIS will inherit my stock in Gregarious Games, currently valued in excess of half a million dollars... Uh, half a trillion dollars worth and total control of the OASIS itself. In the form of my avatar, Anorak the All-Knowing, I created three keys. Three hidden challenges test for worthy traits revealing three hidden keys to three hidden gates. And those with the skill to survive these straits will reach the end, where the prize awaits. Off you go, keys. The keys aren't just laying around under a rock somewhere. I suppose you could say they're invisible, hidden in a dark room that's at the center of a maze that's located somewhere up here. Let the hunt for Halliday's Easter egg begin."

 

Three hidden keys open three secret gates

Wherein the errant will be tested for worthy traits

And those with the skill to survive these straits

Will reach The End where the prize awaits

 

 

The Copper Key(Start Cache) 

 

The Copper Key awaits explorers

In a tomb filled with horrors

But you have much to learn

If you hope to earn

A place among the high scorers

 

 

 

 

The Jade Key(Start Cache)

 

The captain conceals the Jade Key

in a dwelling long neglected

But you can only blow the whistle

once the trophies are all collected

 

 

 

The Crystal Key(start cache)

 

The first was ringed in red metal

The second, in green stone

The third is clearest crystal

And cannot be unlocked alone

 

 

 

 

Congratulations you have found my Easter Egg

 

As the text faded away, it was replaced by a short message, just three words long. This message had been embedded in the log-in sequence, by James Halliday himself, when he first programmed the OASIS, as an homage to the simulation's direct ancestors, the coin-operated video-games of his youth. These three words were always the last thing an OASIS user saw before leaving the real world and entering the virtual one:
