Steven Spielberg's big-screen adaptation of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One is a celebration of pop culture from throughout the ages. It follows Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), a young man obsessed with all things video games, movies, and music. In particular, Wade has a special interest in anything and everything that inspired James Halliday, creator of a virtual game world called OASIS.
Upon his death, Halliday leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. Becoming an unlikely young hero, Wade decides to join the contest and is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.
Ready Player One is in cinemas now, and to celebrate the launch of the movie we've created a little game that could win GameSpot readers in the UK some prizes. All you have to do is put your powers of perception to use and find the answer to three riddles you can find on the GameSpot and GameSpot Universe Twitter accounts, as well as the GameSpot Instagram page.
Entering any of the three competitions will give you a chance of winning a prize pack that includes a bluetooth app with a speaker that allows you to display your custom art creations, a gaming backpack, LED glasses, a mini arcade machine featuring 300 games, and a reversible t-shirt. However, those that enter all three and get the answers correct in each one will be put into the running to win a private screening of Ready Player One for themselves and 65 guests on April 16, 2018.
