Google has introduced a new puzzle series to tease the upcoming Google I/O 2026 event. The interactive challenge, accessible at io.google/2026/puzzle/, requires participants to complete a series of five games to unlock a final bonus and ultimately reveal the event dates.
Interactive Puzzle Games
The puzzle series includes five distinct games designed to engage users. "Hole in One" is a mini-golf game with obstacles, while "Nonogram" is a logic picture puzzle that uncovers a hidden image. "Word Wheel" offers a crossword-style challenge, "Supersonic Bot" is a voice-controlled game reminiscent of Flappy Bird, and "Stretchy Cat" tasks players with filling every space on the board before reaching a finish flag.
Unlocking Event Dates
As with previous years, Google requires a certain number of players to complete the puzzle series before revealing the official dates for Google I/O 2026. This strategy not only builds anticipation but also encourages widespread participation among tech enthusiasts and puzzle fans.
