Arcade 2025 - NEW RULES NEW YEAR

[Abhishek213]

New Update

📜 I understand that:

1️⃣ I need to be subscribed to the Arcade in order to receive the prize. 🎁

2️⃣ If I unsubscribe from Arcade emails in the future, I will not be eligible to participate in the Arcade prize counter 🏆, regardless of the Arcade points I have.

3️⃣ I will not change my email address 📧 with which I am subscribed to the Arcade during the cohort. Changing the email may result in a loss of Arcade points 🎯, for which the Arcade team will not be responsible.

4️⃣ I must use the same email address 📩 to complete the Arcade games and skill badges on Google Cloud Skills Boost as the one I subscribed with.

5️⃣ I will not change my public profile 👤 during the course of the Arcade.

6️⃣ I will use only one account/email 🔑 to participate in the Arcade for a cohort. Using multiple accounts may result in disqualification 🚫.

7️⃣ During the prize counter, only one set of prizes can be claimed per mobile/cell phone number 📱.

8️⃣ Items cannot be shipped to countries on the list of US Treasury Department’s Sanctions Programs 🌍, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Crimea, Cuba, Sevastopol city, and Syria.

9️⃣ Prizes are not available immediately when I complete a challenge. Prizes become available when the prize counter opens ⏳.

🔟 The prize counter opens at the end of this season, not before. 📅

1️⃣1️⃣ The prize counter operates on a first-come, first-serve basis 🏃‍♂️, while supplies last.

1️⃣2️⃣ Arcade points are only awarded for the first instance of the earned badge 🏅.

They even introduced seats for game joing not everyone can participate if seats filled

So many constraints, no brainer I'm already done with arcade.

time to leave google arcade, this was so fun guys meeting you sharing, learning with your see you at corporates.

There have always been seats in arcade games, but I don't think I've ever seen them run out.

[Abhishek213]

Because they used to add slots every time it gets filled

Bro I've completed 4 badges till now and if I manage to complete 20-30 more by tomorrow will I get the prize pool mail before 24 january so that I can register before the deadline ends.

[yashgoyal365]

The prize counter mail for new cohort starting from Jan, 2025 will be shared in the month of June or July only. There will be no prize counter mail before that.

Is there any chance to know what the point distribution between tiers will be? If you aim to do all the arcade quests, is highest tier achievable or more badges required?
