Syllabus for the program

While you can find all the active games and trivias on the Skills Boost Arcade website directly, we are maintaining a copy of the same here so that it becomes easier for you to find badges and complete them so that you can earn "Arcade Points". (See points system for more details)

Recommended - Its better to complete the games and trivias first since they have a deadline in a given month. Complete as many skill badges as you can later to earn more "Arcade Points".

Arcade Games

Every month we release 6 new Arcade games that you can complete to earn "Arcade Points" - 3 levelled games, 1 Basecamp Game, 1 Cert Zone Game & 1 Special Game.

Hence, in a single cohort of 2 months under the Facilitator Program, you can earn a total of 12 game badges. See the currently active games for this month below. We will update these as and when new games will be released in the following months. Note: Games have limited seats, so enrol and complete them ASAP.

Note: While there are a total of 6 games that are released every month and you can complete 12 games in total in the 2 months of the facilitator program, any 10 game completions will be counted towards the ultimate milestone.

Arcade Trivia Games

Every month we release 4 new Trivia Games on a weekly basis, that you can complete to earn "Arcade Points". Hence, in a single cohort of 2 months under the Facilitator Program, you can earn a total of 8 Trivia Game Badges. See the currently active Trivia Games for this month below. We will update this as and when new Trivia games are released every week.

Note: Trivia games are released on a weekly basis i.e. in Week 1, you will have 1 Trivia Game, in Week 2, you will have 2 Trivia Games, in Week 3, you will have 3 Trivia Games and thus all 4 Trivia Games will only we available in the last week of every month.

Google Cloud Skill Badges & Introducing Lab-free Courses

You can complete any of the skill badges that are part of our catalog here to earn "Arcade Points". To help you easily navigate this list, we have added a few skill badges for you below that you can choose from based on what level of difficulty you are looking for.

Also, we understand that with the new DAILY lab-limit your learning journey might hit a pause. Thus we are introducing "Lab-free Courses" for the first time in the Arcade Facilitator program for you to explore until your daily limit replenishes. You will find these badges in each of the difficulty levels below and completing these will contribute to your milestones. 🎉

We will keep updating this list with new skill badges/lab-free courses for you to explore.
