Clarification on Total Points Calculation in the Arcade Facilitator Program 2025

[Nishit_Shetty]

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding how the points are awarded in the Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program. Here's what I'm trying to clarify:

• Completing 10 Arcade Games, 8 Trivia Games, 44 Skill Badges, and 16 lab-free courses results in 40 Arcade Points + 25 Bonus Points for completing the milestone.
• Additionally, I understand there are 50 Bonus Points for completing the milestones (Milestone 1, Milestone 2, Milestone 3, and Milestone 4) and if i complete milestone 4 then 1,2 and 3 gets completed as well.

My question is:

If I complete everything (all games, trivia, badges, and courses), will I receive:

1. 11 x 2 (games and trivia badges of two months including the 2 poit game badge) + 22 (1 point for completetion of 2 skill badges so total completion of 44 skillbadges) + 50 Bonus Points = 96 points by adding the bonus points of all the 4 milestone 2+8+15+25 = 50
2. Or, does the Ultimate Milestone bonus (25 bonus points) means 11 x 2 (games and trivia badges of two months including the 2 poit game badge) + 22 (1 point for completetion of 2 skill badges so total completion of 44 skillbadges) + 25 Bonus Points = 69 points and not adding the bonus points of previos milestones

Thanks in advance for the clarification!

You will get the Bonus points of only the milestone you reach at the end of GCAF program not from the previous milestone. 

Ultimate Milestone bonus (25 bonus points) means 11 x 2 (games and trivia badges of two months including the 2 poit game badge) + 22 (1 point for completetion of 2 skill badges so total completion of 44 skill badges) + 25 Bonus Points = 69 points and not adding the bonus points of previous milestones

this is the correct understanding if they give you bonus points of previous milestone as well then don't you think it's unfair for those who haven't reached to ultimate milestone.

But won't this create problem to earn the milestone of 85 points as you have to earn 16 more points to reach that meaning you have to complete 32 more skill badges total 76 skill badges in two months with the limit of doing 15 labs only in 24 hrs

And I don't think it will be a disadvantage because if some doesn't reach the milestone why will they get bonus points for that but the person who completed all the four will still be getting only the bonus of the last milestone is an actual disadvantage

No, 

Only highest milestone will be considered. 

Ex: if you achieve "ultimate milestone" - 40+25 bonus points = Total 65 points.  

If out of 10 Arcade games , if you complete, 2 special games - 42+25 bonus points = Total 67 points.

On completion of Ultimate Milestone*, you will receive:

• For 10 games = 10 Points
• For 8 trivia games = 8 Points
• For 44 skill badges = 22 Points
• For milestone completion & completing ANY 16 provided "lab-free" courses = 25 Bonus Points
• Total: 40 Arcade Points + 25 Bonus Points ⭐️

Note: If out of the 10 games, if you complete 1 special game, you can earn 41 Arcade points + 25 bonus points. If you complete 2 special games, you can earn 42 Arcade points + 25 bonus points since completion of special games gives you 2 Arcade points.
