Confusing about Arcade Game Point System.

Dear Google Cloud Arcade Facilitators,

I am confused with the Arcade Game Point System. Can anyone explain the following badges/courses and help us to categorize them to the current challenges published in https://go.cloudskillsboost.google/arcade?

Arcade Game Badges
Trivia Game Badges
Skill Badges
Lab-free Courses

Thank you very much 🙏

Only the Arcade Game Badges and Trivia Game Badges are published on https://go.cloudskillsboost.google/arcade.

If you want to do Skill Badges and Lab-free Courses, please visit this catalog

Remember that only specific Lab-free Courses count toward the Arcade facilitator program. You can find them by visiting this: https://rsvp.withgoogle.com/events/arcade-facilitator/syllabus (Scroll to bottom), also, there are recommended skill badges mentioned (you can do any skill badges tho).

New questions:
1. Are TechCare and Base Camp considered Arcade badges? Are they counted for the arcade point system?
2. What if we have completed some of the Skill Badges before April 2025? Are they qualified for the new arcade point system?
3. What is the meaning of Lab-free Course? Is it necessary to complete the Lab-free Courses?

1. Yes, all the badges on the arcade web page are arcade badges, and they will add points to your profile (if you complete them).

2. No, it's not counted towards the facilitator program milestones. But the points remain on your account.

3. Lab-free Course means there will be only quizzes and presentations. There is no hands-on experience. And yes, it is necessary to complete the Lab-free courses to complete the facilitator milestones. No direct points are being earned from the Lab-free courses, tho.
