These days, reality is a bummer. Everyone is looking for a way to escape, and that's why Halliday... That's why he was such a hero to us. He showed us that we could go somewhere without going anywhere at all.

WADE: The challenge is to find three keys, but in five years, no one has even gotten one key. And the big scoreboard? Still empty. Some long-forgotten gunter cracked the first clue and found the first challenge. Then, this portal appeared. But the challenge to win the first key was a race designed by Halliday that was so hard, no one had ever finished it. The only ones still trying are the gunters, as in "egg hunters," like me and Sho and Daito, and my best friend, Aech. Oh, and of course, the Sixers. The Sixers work for IOI... COMMANDER: Sixers! WADE: ...Innovative Online Industries. They're the second-largest company in the world with designs on becoming the first. Which is why they're putting everything they got into winning Halliday's contest. Buckle up!

Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex, a different species, live-action, cartoon. It's all your call. Yeah, that's me. Well, that's my avatar. At least, until I feel like changing it. Except for eating, sleeping, and bathroom breaks, whatever people wanna do, they do it in the OASIS. And since everyone is here, this is where we meet each other. It's where we make friends. Locate Aech. -(BEEPING) -COMPUTER: Locating Aech.

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 do... 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 magic gates. And those with the skill to survive these straits will reach the end, where the prize awaits. Off you go, keys.

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.

Those were key. Halliday made sure the OASIS was littered with enough randomly powerful stuff that anyone could win if they had the skills. Death matches and artifact hunts are a good way to coin-snatch, but depending on your level of armor, they're risky. (LAUGHS) You see, everyone starts the same, but the more coin you make... -Mom! Mom! -...the more you level up. If you get killed, your avatar can come back to life... Go get your dad! ...but you lose all your stuff.
