My game or activity is locked
On Free, a game or activity locks once 4 or more students have played it. Host it again any time, or make a copy with Duplicate & edit.
Try these, in order
Step 1: Open the game or activity and read the banner at the top. It says "Played by 4 or more students, so it's locked."
For an activity it says "Started by 4 or more students". Testing it yourself on one to three devices never locks it.

Common questions
Does a lesson lock too?
No. A lesson you have taught stays editable.
Why only 4 students?
Teachers test on a few devices, so up to 3 players never lock. The lock keeps the results of a real class matching the questions they answered.
