Gamebadges is running a limited online pilot where selected participants submit real Gamebadges applications using evidence from their existing work/portfolio.
Challenge Week in a nutshell
During the week, you’ll complete the full application quest: choose your badge objective, submit your proof, and see whether your evidence meets the criteria.
Meet the requirements and you’ll unlock a competence-based Open Badge. If you miss the mark, you’ll still get actionable feedback from a professional – yes, from a real human (not a bot) – so you can level up and try again.
If you’re accepted as a tester, here’s what’s in it for you:
- Choose from 140+ badges across 9 categories, then submit your evidence between 8–12 June.
- Discord support will be available at set times if you have questions about the process
- Applications will be reviewed by the end of the following week.
- You can check your competence level.
- If your evidence meets the criteria, you earn a badge.
- If your application isn’t successful, you’ll receive feedback to help you improve.

Gamebadges come in three competence levels, and during the Challenge Week we’re unlocking Bronze, Silver and Gold level badges. Earned badges are shareable and portable, so you can add them to your portfolio or your LinkedIn profile.
