Ready Player One

Ready Player One is an event sponsored by the film with the same name. Ready Player One is an event that all players can participate, however it is intended to be extremely challenging due to the grand prize only being available for one person on the entire site. There are 10 normal prizes and 2 grand prizes in total, but only 6 have already been published on to the catalog.

Objective
The Ready Player One event is an event that does not provide where the prizes are located in a game, but instead give you clues on where they could be. There are three crowns, one for each key. There are three, being: Copper, Jade, and Crystal. Recieving all the keys awards you special wings, and having the authorization of competing to get the "Golden Dominus", an exclusive and unique Dominus awarded to only one person who manages to complete all missions and defeat Mega Corp before any other player. More prizes will be revealed shortly.

Clues
The clues Ready Player One provides are poems that help the players try to figure out where the keys are.

Clues for the Copper key (Jailbreak):
Clue One

"The location of the Copper Key may sound surprising

Especially if you have been antagonizing

If It’s rehabilitation you seek,

Then come find this grand antique

Infiltrate this sacred place unharmed

And there you shall find a secret old charm."

Clue Two

"Whether by night or day,

You'll find conflict happening in

All corners of this open world game."

Clue Three

"Shift into overdrive

and plow into a specific wall at night

to infiltrate a secret area...

When this game first launched in 2017,

it spanned 16,000 lines of code."

Clue Four

"After you found all three pieces of the token by robbing various places at night,

a secret entrance will open. Check behind the waterfall...

Once the token has been returned to its rightful heir, a trivia about video games you must prepare.

The highest obtainable score is the poll, Wade Watts may know the goal.

Another clue is in the train for you. Once found, return to the boys in blue."

Clue(s) for the Jade key (Phantom Forces [PC]):

Though some may lack the vision

Now you're deep in hostile territory

And these ghouls are out for glory

Decrypt my journal entry and it shall reveal

A passphrase for something most conceal."

"The blog contains the location,

if you can decrypt its translation.

Unscramble the author’s name of a recent post

and you’ll find another clue first and foremost."

Trivia

 * On March 13th, 2018, a day after the event released, nobody had gotten any of the prizes, making this to be one of the hardest ROBLOX events.
 * On March 14th, three players found the Copper Key. One of them revealed the game, Jailbreak. Although three finally achieved the item, they explained it took them approximately 10 hours in real life time to achieve the Copper Key crown. But after the improvements update on March 15th, it only takes 18 minutes to complete the event.
 * JaseWoof was the first to get the Copper crown, and achieved it on March 14th, 2018. He was followed by King_Turk and AntiSaltJ whom were 2nd and 3rd.
 * This is the first event Jailbreak hosted and featured in this event.
 * The 'Meet the Devs' badge was secretly an event badge you would receive after finishing the event. 20 players won the badge before the event started, possibly to fool us from understanding its true perception or to test to see if it worked or not.
 * Similarly, the 'Game suggestions' badge was the disguised event badge awarded to players who acquired the Jade Crown, although upwards of 100 players were rewarded the badge before anyone acquired the Jade Crown of Gold instead of 20.
 * On March 15th at 9 PM PDT, Roblox announced that the copper key would be made easier to receive, and players would now receive the bronze crown of copper instead of silver. The chicken cutscene can now be activated at any time while it used to be only active at nighttime. You now only need to rob one of the following: Bank, Jewelry Store, or Train at any time. Originally, you had to rob all three and it had to be during the night. The codes you must give to Wayne are now listed in the prompt. The box with the keyhole will always spawn on the first red crate of the train. Originally, it spawned randomly, and most people were not able to get it. For the Jail Evaders minigame, you now only need to shoot 10 cars. Originally, you needed to shoot 100 cars, and score a total points of 1,000.
 * To compensate for the lack of compatibility, Roblox created an alternative way for mobile users to get the Jade Crown who otherwise can’t access Phantom Forces, at https://web.roblox.com/games/1454584724/mobile-piano.

Jailbreak (Copper Key)
Many players have criticized Roblox for choosing Jailbreak to be part of the event, as it is commonly seen as a heavily overrated and repetitive game. In terms of the quest to obtain the key, before the Silver crown was replaced with the Bronze version it was insanely difficult for the vast majority of players, due to a variety of different factors.

Complaints have largely been about players who weren't after the key preventing the ones who were trying to get it from advancing through the quest by camping at the Bank and Jewelry store as Police, but perhaps the most common gripe with this event was about the train.

Roblox had used an RNG system to decide whether the lockbox would be available in the train carriage or not, and the spawn rate for a lockbox-containing cart was extremely low which forced many players to grind for hours while praying that they would finally get a lockbox, while others got insanely lucky and obtained it in a few attempts (e.g. the first winner of the Copper Key had luck and did not have to grind endlessly, while many others who were farming the train for the lockbox way before he found it were not so fortunate). This has been changed after the prize became the Bronze crown instead of Silver to incorporate a guaranteed lockbox-containing red cart on every train. Roblox still received disappointed responses because some people still wanted the Silver crown, and they thought Roblox assumed that they were too unskilled to get the Silver one and nerfed the event (even though it was heavily RNG-based and glitchy).

Along with this issue, another bug with the train involves going to the first red section of the train and breaking into the vault, only to discover there is no text displayed when you try to unlock the box when in possession of a key. This glitch is not very common, but can still happen to some players.

Players also criticize the fact that if you get quite far in the mission, something can glitch out and force you to swap servers while the game doesn't save your progress, making it extremely irritating because you have to do the mission all over again. This is still a problem after the Bronze crown became the prize.

Phantom Forces (Jade Key)
Many players were flabbergasted that two people were able to get the Jade key before any clues were revealed, maplestick and n_olan. They were accused of exploiting, getting developers to tell them the places, selfishness for not giving away the location and many other remarks from those who could not comprehend it was possible, even though Roblox stated that the clues don't necessarily have to be seen to find the keys.

In terms of the event itself, the primary complaint was having to fight over the acquisition of the Jade key (in the form of a Melee weapon for Phantom Forces). The vast majority of players were annoyed and frustrated over not being able to solve the vending machine puzzle because players from the other team would come and kill them to have a turn at it, and this would evolve into a war where neither team would have ample time to solve the puzzle without being mowed down because the other team also wants to solve it.
