August 1st is going to be 1 helluva race. Yes I liked finding the credits on my way to finding the QR code.  Of course I felt totally stupid after finding it decoding it to find where it sent me.

A lot of red herrings in there. Of course, it was in a place I'd already looked, just not in the correct order.  Finally got it. A lot of red herrings in there.

I found all the puzzle pieces, got the "Clever Gunter" message, collected all powerups, and found three hidden rooms. Still no QR code. Any hints?

Most of it was really compelling, but the end almost read like Cline allowed a lesser author to step in and polish it off. Nevertheless, cool twist with the Easter eggs; maybe they'll provide the finishing stitches to the story. Was anyone else disappointed by the book’s ending?

Although I kind of wish that there was a leaderboard, so I could see how many people got there before I did.  I did love wandering around the Stacks after winning - if only to see the credits.
