More details:

Master settings: If your friend sets a master passcode they can change advanced settings at anytime, they can also unlock the photo early if they feel kind. They may choose to lock master settings, in which case you must visit all locations.

Early release: If you are desperate to access the photo and code early you can choose to quit, but this comes at a penalty cost you set for yourself or which your friend sets for you.

Advanced options:
These require a keyholder master passcode, set the passcode before starting the session and then set the advanced options:
- Expiry time: you can set time limit at which the photo unlocks automatically without visiting all location. Or your friend can do this for you.
- Show thumbnail: show a small blurred thumbnail of the photo when you peak.
- Unlock cost: you or your friend sets the early release penalty from 1 to 100 credits.
- Late penalty: your or your friend set a time limit to visit the locations. If you are late you need 1 to 100 credits to unlock the photo.

Random options:
- If playing solo, you can randomise the advanced options before you start. Will the thumbnail be shown, how much will the early release penalty be? How long is the expiry time?
