The Ready Player One Event’s logo. (it has actually loaded, the text is white. (the logo is a maze to get to the egg in the O)
The Ready Player One (RPO) Event was a Roblox event in which players had to find three keys (namely the Copper, Jade and Crystal keys). Whoever found all three keys first won the Dominus Venari as an award. Everyone else got the Golden Wings of the Pathfinder.
Overview
You had to complete a mission in Jailbreak to obtain the Copper Key, one of the three keys needed to complete the event. The Jade Key was found in Phantom Forces on PC, and Mobile Piano for mobile players, while the Crystal Key was found in Hexaria. The Dominus Venari was found in the Egg Hunt 2018 by Roblox user r0cu, finishing the event once and for all. When the event ended, however, there was a lot of backlash.
Achieving the Copper Key
To get the key, you must head to the Town. Once you were there, you would have to look for an orange house - preferably one that has a rather large purple number 1 shape pointing near the Meteor. Then you must have rammed a vehicle inside the house. In earlier versions of this mission, you had to wait until 8:00 PM in-game to drive your car into the wall, but you were allowed to do it at any time shortly after. Once you rammed your vehicle into the wall, you should have received a cutscene.
This cutscene showed a chicken talking about power, and how he wanted you to receive that power for him. After the cutscene came to its abrupt end, you'd want to make your way over to one of these three locations: the Cargo Train, Jewelry Store, or Rising City Bank.
Once you're done robbing one of these places, a message should appear saying you have found a token. In earlier versions of the mission, you had to rob all three locations at night, it was changed so you could rob during the day and you only needed to rob one place out of the three. After that, you'd have to make your way over to the smaller waterfall located in the Mountainside Town, on the right-hand side of the tunnel if you're coming from the Prison. From there, you'd want to swim up and behind the waterfall and make your way into a small little hole. There, you should've found a camping cop, one specifically that wanted to talk to you.
He'd ask you a video game questionnaire, with the answers provided (in past versions you had to look it up). Once you got all of the answers correct, the cop should have given you a key to be used on the Cargo Train. You'd need to go to the train to hop onto the first red car. Once you opened the top door, you'd see a vault. You'd want to open it as if you're robbing the train normally, but instead of gold bars being there, you'd see a lockbox. Before, the lockbox had a random chance of spawning. This process should have triggered another prompt, giving you a game cartridge. Once again, you would have to go back to the camping cop behind the waterfall and talk to them.
The Copper Crown of Bronze
He'd take the game cartridge, and allowed you to play the "Jail Evaders" minigame. You'd need to dodge any cars that got close to you and shoot the ones that are within your range. Each car shot down would award you ten points, and you must have gotten a score of 100, in which the game would have ended, and you'd be awarded the Copper Key, The Copper Crown of Bronze, and the "Meet The Devs" badge, which was actually a disguise for the Ready Player One badge, allowing you to progress in the Ready Player One event.
If you received the Copper Key before March 15th, 2018, you were rewarded with a Bronze Crown that is different from the one received after March 15th, 2018. The game was quite confusing for most players playing it for the first few times which prevented most people from progressing.

Trivia
- The time that the Roblox RPO event was held at was most likely due to the premiere of the Ready Player One Movie that released around the same time.

- The Ready Player One logo is a maze, where players would have to try to get to the Egg in the "O".
- r0cu was the first user to acquire all 3 crowns and was rewarded the Dominus Venari.
- Originally players can only do this in a public server. Waiting until 8 pm game time to crash on the Orange House. After that players need to rob the Rising City Bank, Jewelry Store, and Cargo Train on the same night. For the 3 heists robbed between 8 pm and 3 am the player will get a coin fragment for one of them. After that go the waterfall near the down and find the secret cave along with Camping Cops Easter Egg. After answering the questions, wait for the next train and go on the first red cart. Get inside and open the vault as usual. Inside the vault, the first red cart contains a lockbox that can be obtained once step inside the vault. After that go back to the secret cave, then the Camping cops will let you play the Jail Evaders game. Players must get 100 points in order to get the Copper Key Crown and the "Meet the Devs" Badge.
