We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.
Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-26 · 30 entries checked · 17 flagged · 39 issues confirmed · 17 corrected · 22 still open
Samantha Cook — The entry claims that Wade sends Samantha the solution to the Second Gate's riddle (the 'Tempest' clue), but she already knows how to get through the Second Gate and obtain the Crystal Key herself. In the novel, she does not already know and needs his help.
Samantha Cook — The entry states that the kiss happens earlier in the story, but in the novel, the kiss between Wade and Samantha occurs at the very end, after they meet in person in Columbus, Ohio.
James Halliday — The claim that Halliday secretly created a digital copy of Kira Underwood Morrow's consciousness is incorrect; in Ready Player Two, the digital copy of Kira was created by Ogden Morrow, not Halliday.
James Halliday — The claim that the AI copy of Halliday (Anorak) traps approximately 12 million users is inaccurate; in Ready Player Two, the AI traps around 12,000 users, not 12 million.
Aech — In the LORE section, the statement that Aech is absent for much of the quest for the Seven Shards of the Siren’s Soul is incorrect; Aech does participate in parts of the quest, including the first shard.
Aech — In the DID YOU KNOW section, the claim that Aech does not join Wade and Shoto in the quest is inaccurate because Shoto is not a primary participant; the quest is undertaken by Wade, L0hengrin, and Aech.
Innovative Online Industries — IOI did not acquire Ogden Morrow's shares while James Halliday was still alive; in the novel, Morrow sold his shares to IOI after Halliday's death, not before.
Innovative Online Industries — The statement that Nolan Sorrento was 'CEO' is incorrect; in the novel, Sorrento is the head of IOI's OASIS operations (specifically the 'Oology' division), not the CEO of the entire corporation. The CEO of IOI is never named in the canon.
Anorak's Guild — The guild is described as having five original members, but the tagline implies all five were co-creators of the OASIS, whereas only Halliday and Morrow built it; the other three were testers.
Anorak's Guild — The guild disbanded because Halliday became reclusive and paranoid, not because he felt his friends had lost their way.
OASIS Administrators — The claim that 'the contest's prize was gaining control of the OASIS' is inaccurate because the prize was Halliday's entire fortune and control of GSS, not direct control of the OASIS as a standalone statement.
OASIS Administrators — The claim that 'Morrow leaving his role after a falling out with Halliday and subsequently losing his administrative powers' is misleading because Morrow left amicably and retained some administrative access or privileges.
The OASIS — The term 'Sole Administrator' is not canonically accurate — In the novel and film, the winner of Halliday's contest becomes the 'Sole Administrator' of the OASIS. Wade Watts explicitly gains this title after winning the Egg.
Halliday's Will — The entry states that the Copper Key is found by beating the Tomb of Horrors, but in the novel it is found by completing a perfect game of Pac-Man.
Halliday's Will — The entry states that the Jade Key is obtained by playing 'Black Tiger' to a specific point and reciting a line from 'WarGames', but in the novel the Jade Key is found inside the Tomb of Horrors, not directly from the Black Tiger game.
