Why it helps

Using Game Tools in family life

Your own game idea may need results other than the numbers one to six.

Open Dice Sets in Game Tools. Enter a name, choose Custom and provide at least two sides separated by commas or line breaks. Save the set, then start a new session. In its Dice card, set your set’s count to one and unused sets to zero. Spin / Roll chooses a random result.

The custom dice form contains Movement break with six English activity sides.

From a task to a shared view

How the steps fit together

  1. 1

    Prepare a reusable set

    Tap the dice icon in the session overview. Name the set Movement break and choose Custom.

  2. 2

    Save six sides

    Enter Jumping, Stretching, Turning, Balancing, Clapping, Dancing and tap Save Dice Set. The set is now available for new sessions.

  3. 3

    Select it in a new round

    Create a session after saving the set. Scroll to Dice and use plus to set Movement break to one. Set the standard die to zero with minus if you want only movement actions.

  4. 4

    Roll and read the saved result

    Tap Spin / Roll and read the selected activity. After the session ends, Sofia can open the shared session and read the saved last result too.

If something looks wrong

A new dice set is missing from an existing session.

Saved templates are copied when a session is created. Add the set inside the existing session using Create Dice Set, or start a new session after saving the template.

Less coordination, a clearer view

Bring your family plans together.
