Our favorite duo, Pup and Kit, are back! This February, they’re taking us along for their World Cup adventure—navigating packed stadiums, scrambling for last-minute bookings, discovering street food gems, and making memories that last long after the final ball.
Each chapter of their story actually mirrors a specific skill you can pick up in the Google Skills Arcade this month by completing these two Special Games:
Game 1: Skills at the Pitch
A lot goes into making a massive trip feel effortless. Whether Pup and Kit are comparing flights, finding the quickest route to the stadium, or trying to predict the match results, they’re showing how technical skills quietly power great real-world experiences.
Behind every smooth plan?
-
Data working in real time
-
Automation keeping things on track
-
Cloud tools helping them adapt fast
Each lab in Skills at the Pitch mirrors these moments — helping you strengthen data, automation, and cloud skills while staying ready for whatever comes next.

Game 2: From Foundations to Wonders
The trip doesn’t end when the match is over. Between games, Pup and Kit are out exploring ancient forts and busy bazaars, booking rides on the fly, and prepping for the next big kickoff.
As they move through the city, their journey reflects what it takes to keep systems running smoothly behind the scenes.
From securing storage and shaping networks to improving performance, reliability, and cost efficiency — this game highlights the foundations that make flexibility possible.
Hands-on challenges and quizzes will sharpen your decision-making, so when it’s time for the next big play, everything is ready to perform.
