Responsible Play

Session Limit Tips

Even though this is entertainment-only gaming, it's important to maintain healthy habits:

• Set a time limit: Try playing for no more than 20 minutes at a time
• Use a timer: Set a phone alarm or timer to remind you when to take a break
• Take regular breaks: Stand up, stretch, and rest your eyes every 20 minutes
• Balance your activities: Make sure gaming doesn't replace other important activities
• Play for fun, not escape: If you're using games to avoid problems or negative feelings, consider talking to someone

Recognize Healthy Gaming

Healthy entertainment gaming means:

• You control when and how long you play
• Gaming is one of many activities you enjoy
• You can easily stop playing when you need to
