Questions about Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program – Swags & Progress

[HarmeetCodes]

Hi everyone,

I enrolled in the Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program this April 2025, which runs till June 2, 2025. I’ve really enjoyed the journey and learned a lot. Here's what I’ve completed so far:

• 11 Arcade Games

• 8 Trivia Games

• 60 Skill Badges

• 17 Lab-free Courses

I also received an email confirming that I’ve achieved all milestones, including the Ultimate Milestone.

I just had a few questions and would really appreciate any clarity:

1. Will I get swags if I only participated in the Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program (and not the general Arcade)?

2. Based on the progress I mentioned above, will I be eligible for the Champion Swags?

3. Since the program ends on June 2, can I still complete Skill Badges after that? Will they still count toward my Arcade progress?

4. When can I expect the confirmation email for the swags?

Thank you in advance! And best of luck to everyone else on their cloud journey. 🚀

(I also have filled  subscribe form, more than once, this is the first time I joined this event,  not that familiar with the rules)
