Other games were in low–light settings. The church prepared some food for supper and breakfast. They were encouraged to bring snacks but no energy drink.

The Lock-in also featured movies to view, and all were family rated.

There was karaoke and some board games and cards, though gambling is not allowed. Boys and girls slept in different rooms.
