Seems to be some kind of text adventure game? https://foobar.withgoogle.com/staticfiles/css/rhgame.e6cf5ce... .console {} .prompt {} .terminal {} .cmd .cursor.blink { -webkit-animation: blink 1s infinite steps(1,start); animation: blink 1s infinite steps(1,start) } But it seems I've already failed before even clicking on the Login link: ...
Huh, this is a really weird mix of subdomains. https://www.google.com/search?q=withgoogle.com
I am not sure that it's the normal kind of web puzzle. The logins are being handled by an endpoint on AppEngine called 'ah'. Also this mysterious url: https://appengine.google.com/_ah/ Though there is definitely some semblance of it being a game, the iframe contains a reference to CSS file called rhgame.css. There doesn't seem to be any avenue to log yourself in, by the looks of it they first send people to a registr…
Note also that the application bounces you to /_ah/logout on deny. That is an admin URL within Google App Engine applications. I figure everything on "withgoogle.com" is hosted by GAE?
I checked waybackmachine for mirrors of older versions of the site, perhaps when it had more clues. Nothing. I did direct it to archive foobar.withgoogle.com though, since they did not yet have it cached.

I'll go with this theory as well. Anyone have google glass and an augmented reality app from google? That login logo seems like an AR trigger waiting for someone to look at it the right way. also found the rhgame reference in css...
Looks like it's Google's recruiting for Python devs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8588080
Very interesting but I wonder what the legal implications are. Some companies might file a lawsuit claiming that Google gains an unfair advantage if they continue to seek potential employees this way. I'm not saying I agree with this view but Google does have a HUGE potential in matching employees with their potential employers and might just turn the recruitment services industry on its head.
Why should any company be forbidden from utilizing assets their employees legally developed, especially when they want to use that asset in pursuit of a key objective ("hire more smart people")? Should a large newspaper be forbidden from advertising their openings in the printed newspaper itself just because other newspapers failed to acquire comparable audience?
