Locking is useful when you want to control exactly when students play: keep a game locked until class starts, or lock it when time is up.

Players cannot start the game while it's locked, and there's nothing they need to do; once you unlock it, the \u003Cstrong>Play\u003C\u002Fstrong> button comes back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure>\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Ffiles.helpdocs.io\u002Fxxifo1al2f\u002Farticles\u002Fqffawdwukz\u002F1783385542878\u002Fimage.png\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch3>What you see as the creator\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>When you view your own locked game, you'll see the same \u003Cstrong>Locked\u003C\u002Fstrong> button, along with a message and an \u003Cstrong>Unlock now\u003C\u002Fstrong> link.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Locking only affects playing.
