Making zikr while playing games

Q: 

1. Is it permissible to play Roblox while doing dhikr in one's mind to avoid wasting time? Though at times one may forget to do so. Some aspects of the game include: 

• Free mixing. Avoidable, though a non mahram may approach. 
• Clothing (for the characters) that are inappropriate in front of non mahrams. Avoidable. 
• Players using heads and faces (can lead to exposing images of animate beings from one's device.) 
• Games that include impermissible aspects. Avoidable. 

So, the Haram aspects can be avoided In shaa Allah, but other players can engage in it. 

Also, the game consists of a variety of other games (exploration games, designing outfits, maybe riddles or the like etc.). 

2. Is it permissible to replace the head using some other object like a watch, flower, planets etc. as long as it doesn't have a face or isn't the head of an animal or person? 

3. If a non mahram approaches me and I leave the game soon/quickly afterwards without saying anything, is it permissible?

Futile games

Q: Is this gambling: 

Person A says to person B: If I catch you, you have to give me a prize (and there was no mention that if person A does not catch person B, person A will give a prize to person B.)
