- tmaly 10y agoI am not really sure what this is. The first thing that popped in my mind was the contest from the book Ready Player One
- Ajedi32 10y agoThe "Go" tile links to a GitHub user with a single repo named "trailhead": https://github.com/kzuse201?tab=repositories https://github.com/kzuse201?tab=repositories Whatever it is, it seems like it's happening right now...
- rch 10y agoFrom the js file: this.secret = `http://${num}.foo/`; http://${num}.foo/`; Wish I had time to play.
- quirkot 10y agoWho doesn't love a nice scavenger hunt
- NotSteve 10y agoI had no idea foo was a tld
- abeisgreat 10y agoI believe it is owned / controlled by Google, along with many other interesting TLDs https://www.registry.google/ https://www.registry.google/
- fredley 10y agoSeems Google have grabbed most of the land: http://bar.foo http://bar.foo

- caffeineninja 10y agoThis JS instantiates a marker at these coordinates: this.markers = [{ lat: -28.092472, lng: -52.419667 }]; which points to a field in southern Brazil. Anyone wanna go see what's there? :) https://www.google.com/maps/place/28%C2%B005'32.9%22S+52%C2%B025'10.8%22W/@-28.0932809,-52.437616,9396m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d-28.092472!4d-52.419667 https://www.google.com/maps/place/28%C2%B005'32.9%22S+52%C2%...
- VuWall-Matt 10y agoEnter the lat/long as your first answer on savethedate.foo, it links to an unlisted youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N9K898TtWQ&feature=youtu.be&yt:cc=off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N9K898TtWQ&feature=youtu.be... Turn on closed captions and help me figure out the next step.
- ChrisBland 10y agoMagic I. See _ a beach, -yes. _ I explore daylight working on it now
- caffeineninja 10y agoFrom the description: >You can always count on a good time at the beach...
- amingilani 10y agoSame boat. My head hurts. Red Herring: there are 5 punctuations in the sentence
- Sodman 10y agoPossibly related to the big '5' that appears on the savethedate.foo site after entering the latlong? If you take out the other text, we're left with "._,-.-". Removing the comma leaves us with 5 characters "._-.-" Morse code?

- CiPHPerCoder 10y agoThis reminds me of another puzzle which requires being able to afford to travel to specific geographical locations (Cicada 3301). I really hope this isn't how Google intends to find new employees.
- mercur1o 10y ago@jdutoit, where did you find this?

- ltowel 10y agoplace the 3 black pawns and 7 white pawns to add to the appropriate numbers?
- jat255 10y agoMy guess would be black/white corresponds to lat/long? (or vice versa)
- siddarthd2919 10y agoor maybe position the white rooks and black rooks in their spots to remove those numbers from the board?

- sja 10y agoAs requested: answer to puzzle 4 (I think): 14.2981, 101.2189 Start from top-left, move the number of spaces given by the number of your current square: down right left down right right up down down right down It's a maze; worked backwards from the numbers that have commas and points next to them. Number: 19; Title: Thailand https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMNGiEkdfeZKK5uus5iOmt-Gv70lGgSXrnb0sKABhbYuGvovrtNFOy9NAemx0704Q/photo/AF1QipPUgDxGGFcGyd6z-UaSOvqM6JHccuyebfXskvVD?key=WEE2RnpsSkpQRHRscjVxVlhFY1ZRbmRCQnZSQ05B https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMNGiEkdfeZKK5uus5iOmt-...
- neogodless 10y agoSheesh I'm dense, I think I need an animated GIF of how you're moving through the maze. I can see 1-4.-2 but then do you keep moving right a second time, two spaces, to that 9? And then you move... nine spaces to... where?
- wes-k 10y agoHow did you work out the movement sequences?
- dkonofalski 10y agoFile name for #5 is base64. Converting the filename from base 64 gives you "Where have you been?"
- anotherturn 10y agoChess image. if you download it it's called base64.jpg
- XaspR8d 10y agoAnswer to last puzzle: You can put the names of the countries into the spaces on the board and add/subtract from letter values appropriately. This gives you: L IN E THEATRE SHO RE AM P H I (Shoreline Amphitheatre) 5/17, 5/18, 5/19 are the dates of Google I/O, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. EDIT: Haha, I guess we're faster than they expected or this leaked early, since completing it links you to https://events.google.com/io/ https://events.google.com/io/ which just says "check back soon".
- akappa 10y agothat was... anticlimactic, to say the least.
- oldstrangers 10y agoWhat did you expect from a very simple ARG called 'save the date'?
- amingilani 10y agoAnything except... sigh, I guess nevermind. I fell for it.

- jat255 10y agoI'm more impressed that they actually created those numbers to be seen by satellites
- kaoD 10y agoThey didn't. Go to the actual coordinates on Maps and they're not there. It's Photoshop.
