Time penalty features can be used in time-based games to increase the total completion time for players or teams. When applied, penalties add extra time to the final result (counting time up), making the game more challenging.
There are two types of time penalties available. Both can be found in the corresponding challenge settings, where the game admin can assign a specific penalty to each individual challenge:
1. Time Penalty for Hint Usage
(Available for question challenges)
This penalty is applied when a player uses a hint during a challenge.
2. Time Penalty for Fail
(Available for question, memory game, and jigsaw puzzle challenges)
This penalty is applied when a player fails a challenge.
Both types of penalties are added to the total game time once the game is finished.
These features allow you to add an extra layer of difficulty and encourage players to complete challenges carefully and efficiently.
