Yes, if use complete them stickers are also added.

Ig it should be diwali special stickers 🙂

[emily927]

"complete all 4 skill badges" --> yes, if you earn the game badge + complete the featured skill badges, you would be eligible for a sticker pack. 

What's in it? Google Cloud goodies. #LearnToEarnCloudChallenge folks might have a snapshot. 

Cheers and hope you're enjoying the festivities!

[vasanthgk02]

Can I use already created qwiklab acc??

Because I have already created too manh accounts only for this qwiklab new events. Some of the quest are already done there. But I can redo. So that the date can show within 1-9th November,2021.

[rushiranpise]

yes! 

[emily927]

Amazing to see the badges rolling in! Nice work!

At this point, all seats in the game have been claimed. If you are already in the game, you can continue playing. 

I know, it's kind of a bummer, but we did not expect seats to fill up so quickly. We're happy you're here, and next time we'll plan for a bigger game! There will be more opportunities over the next couple months. Keep an eye on this space - you will see it here first 🙂

[rushiranpise]

Thank you Ma'am for this wonderful Diwali Game!

Is there any other slot opening for the diwali 2021 game please as it was closed soon but still having date. Any update on it

[Rehankhalil462]

@emily927 Why there is no spots remaining for diwali challenge 2021? 😥

[Sujal]

As you know the stock is limited and as per it's quantity a measured amount seats were alloted which filled with large pase and even they open slots and you complete the game chances of having the prizes is nearly to nill which will be worst condition as worked , learnedand time invested but no prizes.

Hi there @emily927 , can you please help me somehow,

I have completed the #DiwaliInTheCloud and earned the respective badge too, but after that I wanted to complete a skill badge as provided as an add-on in the event, it is mentioned that "Select any of the below skill badges and use code 1q-diwali-2021 to get free access (you'll get one lab free, then upon successfully completing it, you'll activate one month free)" but when tried to start a lab it asks for tokens, I am not able to understand this thing, the labs must be free shouldn't they ?

[TANUTRA_JANA]

can anyone help me please ?

[emily927]

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Let me see if I can help.

You'll want to follow these steps carefully:

1. Select a skill badge listed on the Diwali challenge page, like this one.
2. You'll see a pop-up for an access code. This is where you enter code 1q-diwali-2021 to activate your first lab free: 
   
   (spell check doesn't agree with my code, but it's the right one 😏)
   
   
3. Prove you're not a robot 🤖, submit the code, and enroll in the skill badge (if you've already enrolled, you can unenroll/re-enroll) OR sign out/sign back in. 
   
   
4. You should see credits appear in your account.
   
   
5. Take your first lab free to activate the 1-month pass (when you're done, make sure to click "end lab"). 

Still facing trouble? Please reach out to the support team. Email or chat support are available via the help menu.

By the way, even if you did not get a spot in the Diwali challenge, you can use this code to claim free access to learning. (Please claim before Nov. 8, and unfortunately no prize without a game badge too.)
