The time challenge might be **absolute**, e.g. reaching a specific [[en:patterns:spatial_structure|location]] in a specific time, or **relative to other events**, e.g. before a [[en:patterns:competition|competitor]], or before a [[en:patterns:real_world_event|real-world event]].

Information that is hidden can be disclosed to players when certain conditions are met. In this pattern, **information** concerns the state of the game (and not, say, the answer to a puzzle).
