- Google has launched an "escape the room" style treasure hunt linked to Google I/O 2018.
- Solving Google's clues will likely lead to the I/O 2018 dates.
- At the time of publication, the puzzle hasn't yet been completed.
Google likes to make people work for information regarding its major annual developer conference, Google I/O. You might remember the scavenger hunt it launched last year where the company left clues as to the date for its I/O 2017 show. Now, it looks like the hunt for the Google I/O 2018 dates is on.
Google began sending out clues from its developer-focused Twitter channel at midnight (via 9to5Google). The first clue arrived in the initial image of that initial tweet—it's binary for google.com/io.

From that page, you're taken to a Google Maps street view pointing towards the reception area of a Google building. Inside, you'll notice a "sisters" theme (the Sister Carrie book, a picture of the Brontë sisters, a photo of twins), which leads to the solution: Iwata (Mountain View's sister city), which is the door code used to unlock the next room.
This is a meeting room filled with more clues, but at the time of publication, we don't have the solution. What you will notice in the room, however, is an "upside down" theme, including a pineapple upside-down cake. This will likely spark rumors that it will be the name for Android P, but Google is rarely so obvious—this probably just means we can rule that moniker out.
If you want to join others in trying to solve the clues, join this Discord group.
