Google I / O 2017 would be held in California from May 17 to 19
Google, to announce its new event Google I / O has used a series of clues and cryptic messages that reveal that it will be in California from May 17 to 19 of this year.
General technological events are ideal for companies to show the news they will launch on the market. Google, in addition to attending technological events of all kinds, every year does the traditional Google I / O, an event to present its technological innovations and exhibit its most secret projects or that do not have the relevance they should. This event as always is held in California at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View.
As always, Google has not gone directly to the point and has wanted to play with users. The first clue was a post on the Google G + developer page, which sent you to a cryptic website. When the word 'Go' is clicked, it sends us to a repository on Github, in which some coordinates of the most remote Brazilian jungle appear. The next stop is a YouTube video which is private, so without the link you cannot access it, where other coordinates appear. The next stop is Warsaw, in Poland and the last clue is an enigma inserted in a corrupted image that takes you to Thailand.
The names of the countries to which we travel with Google placed on a chessboard, leaving the following 'L IN E TEATRO SHO RE AM PH I'. This refers to the Shoreline Amphitheater in California, as we have discussed. Everything is solved in Discord created for the solution of the puzzle. In addition, a date for the event has also been obtained, which would be from May 17 to 19.
Google is an expert in this of the games and the easter-eggs, something that it loves to use when it has the opportunity, to make people think. It is not the first time that Google uses these systems to announce events or benefits and not only that, it has sometimes used advertising to find new workers for its company, with cryptic messages in advertising spaces and others.
