My child can still play games when the Sleep routine is on
Our system controls access to the internet. Not all games on computers, tablets, phones, and gaming consoles require access to the internet to be played. Some games may require access to the internet to start, but once the game is running internet access is no longer used. Your child may be able to play these games while in the “Sleep” routine.
Steps to resolve:
- On the Child's device, open Chrome, Safari or a web browser and go to the diagnostic page
http://www.home.tools/ - If the Child's device is in Sleep mode, check the recent usage to see if the game connects to the internet

How to Check a Child's Usage in the Android app? - Turn the device onto flight mode or disconnect it from the internet.
If you are still able to play the game then it doesn’t need an internet connection. Family Zone can only block games connected to the internet.
