Did the main character rise to become Magister Ludi?
Does the title refer to an activity played in three dimensions involving a combination of all the arts and mathematics?

The Black Bean Game!!!

It's probably an appliance manual or a biography!

No C.

It is indeed a book. Fictional.

Just hold on a minute!
What was my prize for winning the first one?

Nope. Not commonly known, of no great literary value. They made it into a movie though.

The prize was an award winning meal cooked the Treehouse's resident four star chef, Monsieur Floop.

I guess 'g'.

In which case I guess:

Mary Poppins opens the door.
