I wish someone would tell Cline to his face that just because someone else is making a dime off his stuff doesn't mean it's good, it just makes him a prostitute. And then film it. It is my dearest wish.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Someone on Reddit went into some sparse details about the film that line up with what other people have leaked. The first key isn't hidden, it's locked behind a Death Race/Mario kart style destruction derby that nobody has ever beaten. Ties in with the trailer, with a T-Rex chasing people and whatnot. Wade wins by... flying backwards under the map? No idea how that'll play out or how it'll tie into his 80s nostalgia? All I can think of is in Mario kart if you got a feather you could hop over certain walls as shortcuts.
The second key, as Chitoryu said is hidden in the Overlook Hotel. I wanted more information about that, but my phone died before I could scan the thread to see if more was posted. It might be a cool sequence, playing on the spatial horror and impossible geometry that the film brought about. Maybe bring up some of the insane conspiracy theories in there too? Either that or Wade has to fight the Samurai Pizza Cats in Room 237(or 217, amirite TRUE, nerds?)
The only other thing that stood out was at the end, when Wade wins (spoiler alert) he writes it into the Oasis code that the system shuts off on Tuesdays and Thursdays so people have to get out of the house more. lol.

To be honest the whole thing sounds more like a general action film affair and... it might not be entirely terrible?

Hey they did something with the lovely ending of the book where Halliday casually mentions that there’s an off switch to shut down the game.

Wade goes ok and then goes off to beg for sex which he gets because he’s wade loving watts the greatest and fattest nerd
