All your money. (SHOUTS IN OTHER LANGUAGE) Your clothes. (SCREAMS) Your weapons. Since people spend most of their time in the OASIS... (SHOUTING IN JAPANESE) ...losing your shit means... Well, losing your shit. (1980s POP MUSIC PLAYING) Aech, 10 minutes until the race starts. AECOkay, Mom, I heard you. WADE: You see, the OASIS was the brainchild of James Halliday. He and his partner, Ogden Morrow, released the first OASIS build in 2025. It was an instant success, and it made them both very rich. But Morrow was out of the picture after a few years. And Halliday? He wasn't just the owner of the world's biggest company. He was like a god. People loved him. They worshiped him as much as his creation. Maybe we should stop talking about it and start, uh, showing it. If you all wanna reach under your seats, you'll find that there's nothing there. (CHUCKLES) -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) -But we're gonna... we're each gonna bring you one now. WADE: And then, on January 7, 2040... (MUSIC DISTORTS)

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. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
