Ready Player Two, the highly anticipated sequel to Ernest Cline’s worldwide best-selling book Ready Player One, debuts in the U.S. and U.K. on November 24. In a partnership, Roblox is launching a themed treasure hunt with seven user-generated games based on the book inside the Roblox platform.

It’s one more example of the plans to bring about the metaverse (or in the setting of Ready Player One, the Oasis), the universe of virtual worlds that are all interconnected, like in novels such as Snow Crash and Cline’s book. Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki will speak at the GamesBeat Summit: Into the Metaverse event on January 27.
