About Time Management Games

What's a time management game?

​​Broadly speaking, a time management game is a game that prompts users to make a set of decisions leading up to a specific period of time or during a specific period of time.
A time management game mixes elements of puzzle games, where you're forced to think logically around problems, with resource management games, where you have to decide how to spend the limited time you have, and strategy games, where you use your ingenuity and think ahead. 

Why should I play time management games?

Do you really need a reason? Okay, if you do, there actually are a lot of compelling reasons that people love time management games beyond them being enjoyable (though that's enough in our book!).

Satisfaction of problem-solving - like any puzzle game, there's some innate satisfaction in finding the answer to a perplexing question or puzzle.

Increase time management skills - repetition is the mother of skill and for each level you complete you get better and better at actual time management skills

They're really fun - we can't stress this enough, solving problems and managing resources/process with the element of a time pressure makes time management games super fun!

What types of time management games are there?

Using time as an element in a game isn't a new concept, however, the growth of online time management games has allowed for many creative and different approaches to this type of gaming. Regardless of the aesthetic, every time management game has a time constraint of some sort and resources and/or processes to manage within that time constraint. Let's review some of the different types of time limits and resources or processes you'd play with.

Types of time limits
Turn-based - you have an infinite amount of time to make a decision but you can only make a limited number of decisions per turn and game progress proceeds without you but still impacts you when it's not your turn
Level-based - in each level of the game you only have a set amount of time to complete the level, this includes games that have multiple timed 'waves' of action within one level

Types of resources or processes
Resource delegation - you have to choose what resources to use in what capacity
Assembly process - you combine different items or actions to produce a specific output and reach a goal within the game
