A Time Trial allows creators to define a timer that can be paused and modified by adding or removing time. After the timer has run out it will send a message.

**APPLYING PRESETS TO YOUR EXPERIENCE LOGIC**

Presets will only add rules, variables and messages in and out. To create a fully working game mechanic you also need to add assets with behaviours and components to communicate with the Preset.

[See an example of applying a Ruleset for a **Collect Points** mechanic.](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/creative-guides/game-rules-guide/collect-points)
{% endhint %}

### Add a Preset

1. Click Gameplay in the Top Bar and select the Game Rules tab.
2. Click Presets in the Island Menu on the left.
