ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Game Off

Okay, let me explain “game off” like you’re five!

Sometimes, playing games can be really fun. But there are times when we need to stop playing games — and that’s called “game off.”

Just like how we take breaks from playing during recess, or how we need to stop playing with toys before bedtime, “game off” means it’s time to stop playing a video game or board game.

We might need to stop playing because it’s time to eat, do homework, or go to bed. Or, sometimes the game might be too hard or frustrating, and we need to take a break to calm down.

Remember, it’s important to know when to take breaks and when to stop playing games. “Game off” is just a way to remind us of this.
