Google Cloud skills are in demand. 86% of IT leaders report that the shortage of cloud computing skills will slow down their cloud projects.

Build your skills with the Learn to Earn Cloud Challenge. You'll get free access to 32+ hands-on labs, plus an opportunity to earn prizes, grow your network, and showcase your skills.

Ah, no worries. Directly above each "join" button, you should see an access code. That's the code you'll use to join the game.

Hope this helps!

I have completed 2 badges yesterday i.e., on 12th Sept, so will it be counted or I have to do them again with some other id ?

Gulshan_Jakhon

Why not, it will be counted in your profile .

theojha

No, I'm talking about for the prizes, will it be considered?

emily927

Hi there, good question.

For this particular challenge, you'll want to earn the four "Learn to Earn Cloud Challenge" badges: Essentials, Data, Architecture and Security:

You can earn them any time during the challenge duration. You can find more details on prize eligibility in the FAQs section.

If you have earned other badges (other than the four badges above), they would not count towards this particular challenge. However it's still an achievement to be proud of. Congrats 😃

Does this look good for a beginner who is loving cloud computing? ._.

Cisco_BaBa

Hi @emily927 i have just earned all 5 badges. Am i eligible for any swags?

Abhishek213

Yes why not

Gulshan_Jakhon

Why not, it will be counted in your profile .

varshith-kaki

Why did'nt i get badge for essentials :(? I got for the other two.

Gulshan_Jakhon

First you have to complete all the labs under a game then only you will able to see your badges .

And if you complete a certain game but not get your badge and you need to public your profile.

emily927

Thanks for the note! You'll need to successfully complete all the labs in the Learn to Earn Cloud Challenge: Essentials game track to earn the badge. In this example, "APIs Explorer: Qwik Start" is complete. "Internet of Things: Qwik Start" is not:

Game badge completion sometimes takes up to 24 hours to update. If you are seeing all labs marked with green checks, and it's been 24 hours+ since completion, please reach out to support@qwiklabs.com - and thanks again for stopping by!

falico

Hi, I have already completed all 4 during the weekend, but for some reason, "Essentials" have changed and Qwiklabs is asking me to take it again (from 1q-essentials-1 to 1q-essentials-2). Anyone in the same situation? What should I do?

thanks

emily927

Whoa... NICE JOB Falico, and congrats! 🎉

You (and other folks too!) may notice we open up new games as the challenge goes on. Once you earn the four badges (all four, Essentials, Data, Architecture and Security), you *do not* need to join additional games and earn multiple copies of the same badges to be eligible for prizes. (See prize FAQs for details.)

Falico, your screenshot is a great example of what a challenge completion looks like. This profile is on our completions list. Hang tight, we'll be in touch soon [via email] with prize details! And again, nice job 🙂

varshith-kaki

Hey lindee, I've completed Essentials but didn't get a badge for it. May I get some help please.

glen_yu

Same. I got the checkmarks for all 8 labs but no badge for Essentials.

varshith-kaki

Any solution?

Hi!

I have a problem that some of the others here probably don't have...

I've had my Qwiklabs account since 2017 and have played in numerous "games" -- dating back to when they were called "Speedrun Fridays" -- and so I've probably done a lot of these labs numerous times (in addition to having done some via self-study). As a result, I'm unable to even start some of these labs because I've already hit the quota already as a cumulation from the last 4 years. Does that mean that I'm unable to participate in this (or future) challenges as a result?

EDIT: for example, I can't even start the "Service Accounts and Roles: Fundamentals" lab in the Security Challenge because I've hit my quota before even the first attempt -_-"

MikaCloud

Please contact the Qwiklabs Support - they will remove your quota limits. I did it for 2 labs in one of four games yestarday. The Support Team is quite quick (usually).

glen_yu

I did -- but it's silly that I would have to make a request every time I encounter this issue, which for me is not worth it for me to jump through all these hoops.

What I'm trying to bring to light here is the inherent flaw in the design of the quotas. If there's going to be a quota of 5 for a particular lab in a game then every time there's a new game there should be a new counter instance specific to that game that is separate from the user's account quota. The fact that I've been a long time user of Qwiklabs is actually hindering my ability to participate vs someone who made a new account because of these new set of challenges (and swag).

emily927

Noted and thanks! Wow, Speedrun Fridays 👻

You make a great point, and appreciate the perspective. We are making changes in this area so this feedback is particularly timely.

Dear Emily and the Community!

Let me show-off a bit (which is not polite, but this is what badges were created for...partially, so please forgive me my bad manners).

It was tough 4 games and it took me about 2 days to play them through. But I am extremely happy that I have completed them all FOUR!

Thank you the Google Cloude Community Leaders and Qwiklabs! Very well organized and nice challenges for all Google-Cloud-Lovers!

See you in the Cloud,

MikaCloud

emily927

WHOA nice (and qwik!) work.... @MikaCloud excellent to hear from you 😎 This forum is meant to celebrate achievements so you are 100% on-point for sharing!

Hello the community !

I need your help : I have finished all 4 challenges but only 3 badges added to my profile while I finished all labs of the challenge missing 😞

Any idea ?

https://www.qwiklabs.com/public_profiles/956f88b4-4c74-40aa-9606-925ac5745bc0

Thanks in advance

VizMatt

Surprise this morning : nothing done since my last post... all 4 badges now here 🙂

emily927

Woohoo! Apologies for the delay, and nice work on the badges! 🏆

theojha

This is on behalf of my friend, He has completed 2 badges, so question is whether he is eligible to claim prize(i.e. Bottle) or he has to complete all four ?
