Time a challenge
Use the stopwatch to measure how long a player takes to complete an action.
Tools in the TOCKA app
Keep track of time at the table
Some games measure how long an action takes; others set a time limit. TOCKA's Time tool brings together a stopwatch and a countdown timer for both situations.

These tools are available in the TOCKA app. This page explains how they work; it is not an online game tool.
How to use it in TOCKA
- Open the Time tool from within a game.
- Choose the stopwatch to measure elapsed time, or the countdown to start from a duration you set.
- Start timing and use the pause or reset controls as required by your game's rules.
- You can hide the window to return to the scoreboard: time keeps running while you stay in the game.
Ideas for your next game
Allow time for a decision
Set a countdown for a phase with an agreed duration. Players still apply the rules of the physical game.
Frequently asked questions
Are the stopwatch and countdown the same?
No. The stopwatch measures elapsed time; the countdown starts from a duration and counts down to zero.
Can I check scores while the timer runs?
Yes. Hide the Time window and continue using the scoreboard within the same game.
