Connecting Cloud Learners Worldwide
We are a team of passionate cloud architects, educators, and community builders. Our mission is to make cloud computing education transparent, accessible, and engaging for students and developers across the globe.
Our Core Mission
Completing hands-on cloud labs can be exceptionally frustrating. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is incredibly powerful, but it requires absolute precision in console setup. A single missing syntax character in a shell command, an unconfigured identity role, or an out-of-order network routing rule can cause your automated checks to fail.
Our goal is to eliminate that frustration. We believe that every student, regardless of their financial background or geographical location, should have the opportunity to learn modern cloud engineering (like containerization, big data analysis, and generative AI pipelines) and get recognized for their achievements.
Meet the Creators
This platform is a collaborative effort between two of YouTube\'s most trusted, highly followed Google Cloud Arcade study guidance channels. Combined, we have helped over 15,000+ active student learners navigate active game levels and claim their rewards successfully.
GCP DECODE
GCP DECODE is renowned for its high-quality, step-by-step visual solution walkthroughs, detailed console cheatsheets, and interactive study communities. Created by Pranav, a dedicated cloud practitioner and tech builder, the channel focuses on breaking down complex cloud run pipelines, deployment steps, and Kubernetes clusters into easy-to-follow commands, ensuring students get 100% success scores on their challenge labs.
CloudoArc
CloudoArc is YouTube\'s premier cloud learning channel, highly followed for its extensive deep-dives into modern Generative AI badges, BigQuery workflows, and detailed weekly game updates. With a deep emphasis on structured learning paths and collaborative community groups, CloudoArc has consistently supported students in understanding serverless tools, functions, and advanced security architectures.

Why We Built the Arcade Points Calculator
Google Cloud’s learning management system keeps track of your badges but does not display a live point summary on your profile. This meant that students had to manually check and calculate points, which frequently led to alignment errors and double-counting duplicates.
To solve this, our teams combined forces to write this advanced automated crawler. The calculator scans your public Cloud Skills Boost profile, identifies unique badges, filters out duplicate completions, and calculates your active points in real-time.
Practical Career Skills
By focusing entirely on hands-on console challenge labs, you gain authentic experience configuring real GCP infrastructure, serverless runtimes, and Gemini pipelines—skills directly sought after in modern cloud engineering jobs.
Peer-to-Peer Community
Connect with a global collective of cloud learners. Share promotional credit codes, exchange debugging strategies, and find lab-solving partners inside our GCP DECODE & CloudoArc subscriber forums.
Always Free & Open
No hidden subscriptions, paywalls, or gated guides. Our points calculator, custom strategy roadmaps, and step-by-step visual walkthroughs are created out of genuine support for students, completely free.
