Tips and Warnings

💡 Pro Tip: Use the 10-minute option for a quick end-of-class reward. Save the 1-hour option for dedicated engagement days or special events.

⚠️ Warning: If a student is mid-match when the timer hits zero, they are removed from the match and any rewards are forfeited. Let students know to keep an eye on their remaining time.

⚠️ Warning: The "Games After GameShow" setting overrides game blocked at district level but does not override parental controls. If a student cannot access a game, parental restrictions may apply.
