Question 1

How are Arcade Points calculated?

Accepted Answer

Every skill badge is worth half a point, and every arcade game is worth one point. If an eligible facilitator bonus applies, it stacks on top. The tracker's config file holds the current per-item values and 2026 tier thresholds.

Question 2

What counts as a facilitator milestone?

Accepted Answer

A facilitator milestone is a threshold that can combine a minimum number of skill badges, arcade games, and lab-free content. Cross the threshold during an eligible program window and a flat bonus can be added to your total.

Question 3

When is the Bonus Milestone eligible?

Accepted Answer

Bonus Milestone eligibility depends on cohort-specific rules published by facilitators. Only enable the Bonus Milestone checkbox once you have confirmation that you meet the current season's requirements.

Question 4

How is swag eligibility decided?

Accepted Answer

Eligibility is tied to the point tier you finish in. The 2026 thresholds are Trooper at 50 points, Ranger at 75, Champion at 95, and Legend at 120. The tracker shows your current tier and the exact distance to the next.

Question 5

Is my data sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Every input is stored in your browser via localStorage. There is no account, no server-side database, and no personal tracking. Ads on the site may use cookies as described in the privacy policy.

Question 6

Why do my totals differ from the official dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Official dashboards can lag by up to 24 hours after you complete work. The tracker updates instantly. Use the official dashboard as the source of truth when a cohort closes.

Question 7

Can I edit the deadline countdown?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every user can set a personal deadline via the date picker on the countdown card. The value is saved locally so it persists between visits.
