IOI finds the last key but is unable to decipher the code to get into the gate of the prize. They block the entrance to uncover the prize so other players won't be able to go into the building. No one can pass the barricade besides IOI members.

Quote: "The Sixers had installed some type of magical shield over Castle Anorak, a semitransparent dome that completely covered the castle and the area around it." (pg. 266)

After accepting his prize, he logs off of OASIS and meets Art3mis in real life.
