Wade plays a perfect game! ( & wins a prize!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEVuuX-x62c “As I walked into the game room, I heard a Bryan Adams song blasting out of the speakers mounted on the carpeted walls” (220). Pac-Man score: 3,333,350 points– just 10 points shy of the highest Pac-Man score possible. “The only way to beat that score would be to play a perfect game” (221)

And the next person finds the jade key…. “Dear Parzival, You and I are officially even now, got that? I consider my debt to you hereby paid in full. Better hurry. The Sixers must already be on their way there. Good luck, Aech” (224). “All of this was in the painting’s foreground, but my eyes had instantly locked on what was in the background: a large white house, with its front door and windows all boarded up. A dwelling long neglected. “…it was a small world called Frobozz that was home to a detailed re-creation of the game Zork. It was also, I now knew, the hiding place of the Jade Key” (225).
