Although TrapQuest is a "turn-based" game, there is still a timer running in the background, which progresses with every action.

=Time Updates=
Whenever the player "passes time", it causes a certain amout of seconds to pass. Not every action passes time, and some actions pass more seconds than others. Here's what happens (in order) when any time at all passes:

* Check if the player is about to [[Faint]], and have them faint if so.
* Check for any objects that interacting with the player and if they don't exist, end the interaction.
* Handle the next turn
** Progress the game timer by the amount of seconds that are passing.
* Check if the player is [[Breathing|holding their breath]], and log whether they are or aren't able to.
* Update the player's [[:Category:Class|Class]]
* Handle [[Flight]]
* Handle [[Fatigue]] gain/loss, [[Fatigue#Buckling|Fatigue Buckling]], Active [[Dildo Pole|Dildo Poles]], and [[Glue]] escaping.
** This is also when [[Vines]] attack the player, if there's no active [[Time Bomb]]
* Handle [[Time#Periodic Game Effects|Periodic Game Effects]] (See below)
* Handle [[Time#Early Time Rules|Early Time Rules]] (see below)
** If there is an active [[Time Bomb]], this step is skipped.
* Handle [[Time#Monster Time|Monster Turns]]
** This step is skipped if the player just landed after being in flight this turn.
** If there is an active [[Time Bomb]] or the player is about to [[Faint]], this step is also skipped.
* Handle [[Time#Monster Periodic Effects|Monster Periodic Effects]]
* Clean up banished monsters.
* Handle [[Time#Later Time Rules|Later Time Rules]] (see below)
* Update [[Player#Player Flags|Player Flags]]
* Update the player's [[:Category:Class|Class]] (yes, this happens twice)
* Handle [[Flight]] (yes, this happens twice)

==Periodic Game Effects==
Periodic game effects are checked in the following order:

* [[Heel Skill]] "experience" is checked, and potentially converted to a heel skill point.
* Check for [[TG fetish|Instant TG at minimum penis size]]. If player's [[Penis Size]] is low enough to "pass" this check, trigger [[Gender Transformation]].
* If the timer has just crossed a multiple of 750 (or 375, if [[Fetishes|Fast Body Expansion Rate]] is enabled):
** If [[Extreme Proportions Fetish]] is enabled or the timer has also just crossed a multiple of 1500 (or 750, as above):
** Increment [[Real Body Size|"real"]] [[Bust Size]]
** Increment "real" [[Hip Size]].
** Check for [[TG fetish|Fast TG at minimum penis size]]. The ''second'' time the player's penis size is low enough to "pass" this check, triggers [[Gender Transformation]].
** Increment "real" penis size
*** This does not happen if the player's [[Player Sex]] is not male. (for example, if they just triggered gender transformation)
** Increment "real" hair length
** Increment "real" orifice openness.
** If the player isn't being affected by the [[Latex Transformation]], and [[Realistic Orifice Tightening]] is disabled, [[Gape|tightens one]] of the players orifices.
*** Only one orice is tightened at a time, and it prioritises the player's asshole.
*** If the player is wearing [[Gape Gloves]], the player's asshole can't re-tighten.
* If [[Realistic Orifice Tightening]] is enabled, tightens each of the player's orifices by 1.
** As above, the player's asshole can't re-tighten if the player is wearing [[Gape Gloves]].
** If the player isn't in the [[Extra Credit Zone]]:
* If the timer has just crossed a multiple of 1425, checks for [[Virginty|pure virgin rewards]].
* If the timer has just crossed a multiple of 297, checks for [[Virginity|shameful virgin punishments]].
* If the player isn't in the [[Slut School]] region:
** If the timer just passed a multiple of 611, the player doesn't have the [[Bright Hair Tattoo]], then their [[Hair#Color Decay|hair color attempts to decay]].
** If the timer just passed a multiple of 49, and the player isn't being fucked, heals one (and only) one of the player's orifices by 1.
* If the timer just passed a multiple of 676, the player hasn't reached the last stage of [[Latex Transformation]], and the player's [[Makeup]] hasn't been made permanent by a [[Mannequin]], [[Mimic]] or [[Magic Dust Trap]], decreases the player's makeup score.
* If the timer just passed a multiple of 211, regenerates [[Magic Power#Regeneration|Magic Power]].
* If the timer just passed a multiple of 49, and the player has taken some [[Stat Damage]], heals 1 point of damage to each stat of [[Intelligence]], [[Strength]], and [[Dexterity]] as needed.
* If the timer just passed a multiple of 38, Decreases the player's bust, belly, and hips [[Inflation#Body Inflation|Inflation]] by 1 each.
** If the player is [[Flight|flying, decay triggers every multiple of 9 instead.
* If timer just passed a multiple of 264 (or 69, with the [[Dolly Tattoo]]), progress the player's [[Latex Transformation]]
* If the timer just passed 313, updates the [[Royal Guard#Prison Guard|Prison Guard's]] "sentence" timer and summons him if he isn't around.
* Update the [[Silicone Golem]] spawn timer and summon it if it's low enough compared to the player's body stats.

==Early Time Rules==
Early time rules, are a series of procedures the game runs through '''before''' monsters get to do anything. These rules can be further separated into normal and global rules, or <code>time based</code> and <code>all time based</code>, respectively.

===Clothing Periodic Effect===
Periodic effects for clothing can vary slightly depending on whether the player is in the school region, but its usually the same regardless. There are also a few non-unique effects, such as the [[Magical Attributes#Exposure|Exposure]], [[Magical Attributes#Expansion|Expansion]], [Magical Attributes#Rejuvenation|Rejuvenation]], [Magical Attributes#Augmentation|Augmentation]] enchantment effects.

==Monster Time==
Monsters get to take turns after periodic game effects are resolved, and "early time based rules" have been checked through.

==Monster Periodic Effects==
Monster periodic effects are handled as soon as monster turns are done being handled. This happens even if the monster didn't get a turn for some reason.

==Later Time Rules==
Later time rules, are a series of procedures the game runs through '''after''' monsters get to do things. These rules can be further separated into normal and global rules, or <code>later time based</code> and <code>later all time based</code>, respectively., while global rules do.

=Other Timer-Related Mechanics=
There are many mechanics that are directly connected to the in-game timer. Note that "time", "timer" and "seconds" specifically refer to the in-game context, not real-life context.

* Some flavor text changes if not a lot of time has passed, such as the player commentary for the wardrobe.
* [[Summoning Portals]] timers only begin once 100 seconds have passed.
* Used to track how long the player has spent as a [[Living Sex Doll]]
* Used to track how long it's been since the player's penis was [[Detached Penis|detached]]
* If at least 300 seconds pass between the start of the game and the player's first meeting with the [[Headmistress]], the player's starting [[Armband|rank]] in the [[Slut School]] is influenced by the player's [[Appearance]] and [[Humiliation]] scores.
** The player can start as high as [[Armband|Ruby]] this way.
* [[Spells]] and [[Recipes]] will only start appearing in [[Containers]] after at least 100 seconds have passed.
* When you open a [[Containers#Rich Containers|High quality]] container, the chance of finding a rare item is affected by the timer.
** [[Alchemy Products]] only appear if at least 100 seconds have passed since the game's start.
** [[:Category:Rare|Rare]] clothing and [[Food]] are most likely to appear when the timer is closest to <code>0</code> or a multiple of <code>10,000</code>
*** In other words, the best time to look for rare items is when timer is <code>1</code>, <code>10,001</code>, <code>20,001</code>, etc.
* If the player changed [[Region|Regions]] more than 30 seconds ago, [[Liquids|Puddle]] will dry out.
** Each liquid type dries at the same time, so a puddle containing multiple liquids goes away faster than a single-type puddle of a similar size.
* The [[Charisma]] bonus from the [[Make-up Kit]] lasts for 1000 seconds.
* [[Quests#Bladder Holding|Bladder holding]] quests always check for progress whenever the timer just passes a multiple of 120 seconds.
** The timer only controls guaranteed updates. Sometimes it can check earlier.
* The game checks for spontaneous [[Lactation]] every 60 seconds.
* [[Wardrobe Malfunction]] have a timer based cooldown where they can't happen, which is higher the closer the player's chest is to being [[Clothing Cut|Fully Covered]].
** Note that wardrobe malfunctions don't happen when the player's chest is [[Clothing Coverage|Fully Exposed]] or if it is fully covered.

=Trivia=
In earlier versions of the game, the player started with a fixed amount of money that would slowly run out as time went on. Fainting increased this timer, and if it ran out before they escaped the game, they would get a "bad ending" and go into debt. Endings are no longer handled this way, but the variable used to track in-game time is still called <code>earnings</code>.
