Google I/O, the company’s annual developers conference will take place this year at the Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View, California from May 17-19. Google broke the news in bizarre fashion with a cryptic tweet and corresponding webpage containing a series of clues that sent developers on a scavenger hunt in an effort to figure out the date and location of this year’s event.

The first clue posted on Google’s developer Google+ account linked to a ‘save the date‘ page and GitHub repository containing a set of coordinates of a remote Brazilian jungle. Subsequent clues directed users to a YouTube video and more coordinates of various other locations. The clues were finally deciphered by a Discord channel dedicated to solving the puzzle, revealing the location to be the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California and the likely date to be from May 17-19. This is the same week as last year, at the same location as last year.

Google is yet to officially announce the event and registration details, but they’re expected to very soon. We’ll update you once we learn more, so stay tuned to Droid Turf.
