How long should kids play Alpacalypse (CoptanFinact, AlanBuechner, Meliemau, Lbailey87, Marbol)?

Our session recommendation for Alpacalypse (CoptanFinact, AlanBuechner, Meliemau, Lbailey87, Marbol) is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.
