The curator indirectly foreshadows how the contest will play out. Parzival (the protagonist) tells the curator that he is done watching the scene. The curator, whilst watching Parzival walk away decides to leave the scene playing as a major clue is about to be revealed. This implies that The curator knows that the aforementioned scene is a major clue to the contest Parzival says to Art3mis that he always felt that the biggest clue to the contest was hidden in the scene they were watching. The curator says "You're right", before changing the context of his comment to the bet they made. Shortly after, Parzival says to Art3mis "She Keira in the big mystery. The curator then says: "No No". Before then again changing to the aforementioned context. It is later revealed that the final secret to the contest was in the scene that Parzival mentioned, and that Halliday's relationship with Keira is not a clue to the final step, but actually Halliday's friendship with Morrow (both are relevant in the scene that Parzival is watching). This implies that The curator knows that Halliday's friendship with Morrow is part of the final clue, despite the fact that no characters, or the audience, are supposed to know that the 'final clue' exists (there is the secret final test in the movie) The curator also insists that Parzival takes his quarter, despite it being negligible to Parzival's coin count. It is revealed that the quarter that The curator gave to Parzival is a token which grants an extra life The fact that The curator insisted that Parzival takes the extra life implies that he believes Parzival will need it, as the next key is found through completing a dangerous challenge (although Parzival did not need it to obtain the second key), unlike the first key (a protected shortcut under the race) and the third key (the third key was only dangerous due to 101 sabotaging the competition, which is not in The curator's control). At the end of the film, it is revealed that The curator is Marrow, who created the oasis with Halliday, providing an explanation to how The curator knew all the clues to the contest. Despite this, Morrow says to Wade (Parzival's human identity) that Halliday told Morrow nothing about the contest.
