There is a Teen Sci-fi writing contest, a community-wide scavenger hunt and even a special Ready Play One edition of PopQuiz! Trivia Night hosted by former Mayor Casey Tanaka.
Ready Player One was an international best seller, appeared on numerous “best of the year” lists, and now is a motion picture by Warner Bros. and director Steven Spielberg that will debut on Thursday, March 29, 2018.
