More details:

Master settings: If your friend sets a master passcode they can change the date, time and other settings at anytime, they can also unlock the photo early if they feel kind. They may choose to lock master settings, in which case you and your friend can only wait for the time to expire.

Early release: If you are desperate to access the photo and code early you can choose to quit, but this comes at a penalty cost you set for yourself or which your friend sets for you.

Delay time: if you wish to extend the time after the session has started, you can do so in hourly intervals. Or your friend can do this for you.

Advanced options:
These require a keyholder master passcode, set the passcode before starting the session and then set the advanced options:
- Peak early: if your friend has set a peak early penalty, the time will be extended if you try to see the photo before the time has expired.
- Show time: if your friend is being super mean, when you peak to see the photo you will not know how long to wait if they hide the time.
- Alarm sound: Sound an alarm/notification to your phone when the time expires.
- Extend time interval: Change the extend interval from 1 hour to 2 hours or more.
- Show thumbnail: show a small blurred thumbnail of the photo when you peak.
- Penalty cost: you or your friend sets the early release penalty from 1 to 1000 credits.
- Random extra: add extra time between 0% and 100% when the session is started.

Random options:
- If playing solo, you can randomise the advanced options before you start. Will the alarm sound, will extra time be added, will the thumbnail or peak penalty be set? How much will the early release penalty be? How long is the extend time interval?
