Google Skills Arcade 2026: Prize Counter Update

Google Cloud Community News & Announcements
48

Accordingly @Yugali Mam’s post: in 2025, all have been gotten their swags at the time December - January, and if you open Google Arcade Challenge, you can see the place where have been written ‘Game Over!’ - there January to March Challenges are over , if you earned points from there and from skill badges, then you have to wait another months too, until prize counter will be opened, means you have to wait from now to December or until prize counter will be opened

I hope, it helps to your query. Thank you. [Reference: @Yugali ]

hi @Yugali and Arcade-Team,
This seems absurd. Its means almost at the ending period of the current Arcade season & still the Prize-Tier points not revealed. I believe at least which tier will be awarded based on how many points that should have been revealed by now. If any change in Swag calculation or distribution process, I think that can be introduced for next Arcade season instead of the current Arcade season
Thanks,

Even though I received the order link in the end of 2025 season 1 but the shipment process never updated in the order link.
I still did not receive 2025 Season 1 Arcade swags…

I’ve attempted this lab 10+ times and Task 5 never turns green despite correct configuration.

Dashboard: “Developer’s Frontend”

  • Chart 1: “Dev Server Uptime” - metric: uptime_check/check_passed, ALIGN_COUNT_TRUE, 5m interval, filtered by instance_id
  • Chart 2: “CPU Utilization” - metric: instance/cpu/utilization, filtered by instance_name=worker-1-server

Load test run from worker-2-server using Apache Bench (100k + 500k requests).
Check my progress clicked during active load test.

Is this a known bug? Is the grader broken for this task? Lab: Monitoring and Dashboarding Multiple Projects

Hello,
I’m a Google Cloud Arcade participant from Pakistan. We complete the same labs and earn the same points as other participants, but many of us cannot receive swag because Pakistan is often unsupported for shipping. It feels discouraging after putting in so much effort.
Please consider adding Pakistan to the supported swag regions or provide alternative digital rewards/certificates for Pakistani students.

Google Cloud Skills Boost Arcade lab issue — “Unable to fetch app definition / App blocked”

I’m doing the “Create the app” AppSheet lab in Google Cloud Arcade.

During Task 1 (Copy the Customer Contacts app), the template opens but shows:

  • “Unable to fetch app definition”

  • “App blocked”

I tried:

  • restarting the lab

  • Chrome instead of Brave

  • refreshing

  • reopening the template

The app copy either fails or later tasks break because the schema is missing.

Has anyone found a workaround for this specific lab/template issue?

I don’t think it happens to everyone. But I am not the only one who did not get prize.
I’m very sure my country is in the Google’s Deliver list.
