At the top of the page, you’ll see a summary of your game configuration:

  • Order ID: Your purchase reference (or “Free trial”)
  • Launch: When the game starts (manual or scheduled time)
  • Duration: The time limit for players
  • Players: How players join (self-registering or number defined)
  • Checkpoints: Order mode (defined order or any order)
  • Penalty: Minutes added for missed/skipped checkpoints
  • Total checkpoints: Number of active checkpoints in your game
Tip: Review each line in the summary. If anything looks wrong, use the links to go back and fix it.

Validation Checks

The system automatically checks your game for issues. These appear as colored alerts:

Green (Recommended): Everything looks good! These are positive confirmations or optional suggestions.
Yellow (Warning): Something to review, but not blocking. Consider making changes.
Red (Critical): Must be fixed before you can create the game. Click the link to go to the relevant step.

Fixing Issues

Each validation message includes a link to the relevant setup step. Click the link to:

  1. Go to that step
  2. Make the necessary changes
  3. Return to the Create step

The validation checks update automatically when you return.

Creating Your Game

When you’re ready:
