Ready Player Two

Ready Player Two was a Roblox event that started on November 23, 2020, and ended on November/December 2021. Its second phase began on December 1, 2020. It was placed off of the Events section on December 22, 2020. The event is the successor to 2018's Ready Player One event and is also sponsored by the novel of the same name. The event is already closed, and the items are no longer obtainable, however the badges that come with items are still obtainable (Except the Meta Shades's badge). Whether those badges are still received or not depends on the owner of the game.

The event was first teased through a Twitter post by the Ready Player Two Twitter account.

Clues
Unlike the Ready Player One event, Ready Player Two only featured two clues for the entire duration of the event, possibility due to the items were discovered quickly after being secretly released. November 23, 2020

"What's in this and does? What's in she and we? Between them, you must win, and you'll have the game by another name."

"Left high and dry? Then you're on your way. Knock, knock..."

Criticism

 * Many games are criticized with artificial difficulty, quests being interfered with by people regularly playing the game in SharkBite, Bad Business, and Vehicle Simulator.
 * Sharkbite was also criticized before decreasing the price of VIP servers from 200 to 10 Robux.
 * Piggy, Sharkbite, Bad Business were criticized because the quests always being interfered with by people regularly playing the game
 * Robloxian High School was criticized because if you have a flyable pet, you can easily fly to the end of obby without passing obstacles, making the quest unfair to other players who have no pet.
 * Dungeon Quest was criticized because the lanterns part was too hard to find out the hidden code. Now the game added the code next to the portal so that you can easily find it.
 * Mobile players with no access to PC or laptop devices criticized Vehicle Simulator since many cellphones often crash the game, thus prevented them from obtaining Rick's Boombox which also prevented them from completing the event.

Trivia

 * Faave, a Roblox YouTuber, made a discovery when he found a link to the hub by looking at the texture of the Ready Player Two Book.
 * He was also the first person to get the badge for entering the hub.
 * The event's prizes were modeled and designed entirely by UGC creators.
 * These being: EvilArtist, Rastamypasta, and Spectaqual.
 * This marks the third time an event's prizes were created by UGC creators, with the others being Ava Max Heaven & Hell Launch Party and RB Battles Season 2 respectively.
 * The event's main hub reached over 1 million visits before the event was officially announced.
 * The portals in the hub place do not open until someone wearing the item joins the place for the first time.
 * Entering the hub and being the first to unlock the portal will play an animation.
 * All of the games featured in this event used badges that were disguised as unrelated to the event to throw people off.
 * Some games, like Mad City, Epic Minigames, and Tower Defense Simulator, also had fake badges that were intended as red herrings. They can be found here: Tower Defense Simulator, Mad City, Epic Minigames.
 * The hub has an in-game shop like other events.
 * All of the items cost Robux, but cannot be bought in the Avatar Shop.
 * The Helm of the Rip Tide portal was initially opened by exploiters. The legitimate solution to obtain the Helm of the Rip Tide would only be discovered hours later.
 * On December 3, there was a bug that caused the final two portals to be opened. This led to the players obtaining The Meta Star and the MetaPhones earlier than intended.
 * There was a glitch where if you had "The METAphones" badge, deleted it, and rejoined the hub, you would be rewarded the badge again which made it seem like more than 777 people got the badge when that wasn't the case.

 * Some of the quests were eventually nerfed.
 * Piggy - Originally, you needed to wait until 5:00 in-game time for the first knock(s) to appear. It was quickly changed to 7:30 a few minutes after the event's release. Additionally, the final segment with the keypads originally had a piggy that would chase you and could kill you.
 * Robloxian High School - Originally, it required 6 players to sit in specific chairs to get the key. It was later nerfed to require only one player. The final obstacle course also experienced some nerfs - the final teleport area was made wider, portions of the course were made easier and checkpoints were added.
 * Bad Business - Originally, you were only given three lives and zombies were fast. Now you have 10 lives, the zombies walk slower, and if you crouch you can't die.
 * Sharkbite - Originally,  after breaking the yellow cracks, you needed to type "you're gonna need a bigger boat" in the chat while standing in front of the Jaws painting by SharkBiteFan7 to get 4 super buoys. Today, you don't need to type it out in chat and can just press a button near the painting to get 4 buoys. The final boss also experienced a nerf - the final stage initially had both the laser wall segment and the falling rocks. It was changed to another laser wall segment a day after release.
 * Dungeon Quest - Before a revision, you were required to complete a morse code segment involving lanterns at spawn after you collected the 7 gems. This was later removed, and instead the code appeared at the gate. The quest dungeon was also heavily nerfed. The timer was increased to 15 minutes, the obstacle course section was made easier and the boss's damage, attack, and heal rates were lowered.
 * You can still do the event's missions, but the accessories (except for the black book) are no longer rewarded to new players.
