With Google I/O 2014, Google switched to a lottery-based system for selling tickets. This means that anyone can register for a spot in the draw, but only a select number of people will get the opportunity to shell out $900 for a ticket. This, of course, means that no one is guaranteed entry into the event. It wouldn’t be Google if they didn’t throw some fun into the process. Only this time, the fun guarantees an entry into I/O.

The lottery situation with Google I/O this year means nobody is guaranteed entry. Google knows this. And it’s Google we’re talking about. So they planted a bunch of secret codes you can redeem for a guaranteed I/O ticket. The hunt is already on, and some lucky folks have already won. You don’t win free tickets, but rather a guaranteed opportunity to buy them. Good scavenger hunts are tough, and the best ones don’t even announce the rules. I had to piece the information together from various tips, by talking to winners, and crawling the web. Thankfully, at least the rules of Fight Club didn’t apply here. Phew. So, what do you need to do to win?
