Minimum items to collect & Time	Specify the minimum amount of items that should be caught to win before time runs out. Specify the duration (in seconds) during which the customer is allowed to play the game.
Lives	To add difficulty, you can limit the number of lives. If customers lose more lives than specified by collecting bad items, they lose.

You can fully customize each stage of the campaign through dedicated tabs representing the different screens in the flow:

Game General Rule Customizations:
- Time Duration: Set how long each game lasts (e.g., 10s, 20s, 60s).
- Mistakes/Lives: Choose how many lives a customer has (e.g., 1, 3, or unlimited).
- Minimum Number of Items to Collect.

This allows you to create a fully branded, on-theme experience that aligns with your business identity.

Important Note

Customer Eligibility

Games in the widget update dynamically based on customer eligibility, ensuring customers only see games they can still participate in.

Games are hidden when customers become ineligible.

If a customer no longer belongs to the game’s target segment, the game is automatically removed from the widget and won’t reappear unless eligibility is restored.
