[Edge] WG: Game notifications display randomly, device sessions become unresponsive for several moments when game is left running #238

This is a super-edge-case, that's been tricky to reproduce, but I'm just logging it here for reference. If WikiGeeks gets left on and nobody interacts with any of the devices or the hub screen, for a period of 10+ minutes, the game can display unusual behavior. Notifications will display on all screens (hub and devices), and the devices won't accept input in the game window for a few moments. This can lead to the game appearing to proceed in the background, while the "Uh oh" error pane is visible.

This was in a session with just an iPod touch and an iPhone with their display sleeps disabled.
