Scripting Helpers is winding down operations and is now read-only. More info→

I can't run the game in Studio because then Studio crashes. I think the script is crashing?

while loops must contain some sort of delay, otherwise they will crash the server. Usually this delay is the wait() function.

Your loop contains several of these functions, but notice that they're all inside of your first if statement! This means that if your if statement is false, your script will never wait, and thus crash.

Just add a small delay every time it loops, no matter the outcome of the if statement.

01while true do
02    wait() --gotta have that
03    if game.Players.NumPlayers > 1 then
04        h.Text = "Deciding what game to play"
05        wait(3)
06        ranGame = math.random(1, #minigames)
07        gameChosen = minigames[ranGame]
08        h.Text = "Minigame chosen: " .. gameChosen.Name
09        wait(3)
10        gameChosenClone = gameChosen:Clone()
11        gameChosenClone.Parent = game.Workspace
12        wait(3)
13        --Teleporting players to map
14        spawns = gameChosenClone.Spawns:GetChildren()
15        for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
16            name = v.Name
17            check = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(name)
18            if check then
19                checkHumanoid = check:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
20                if checkHumanoid then
21                    v.Character:MoveTo(spawns[i].Position)
22                end
23            end
24        end
25        for i = 3, 1, -1 do
26            h.Text = "Game begins in: " .. i
27            wait(1)
28        end
29        if gameChosenClone.Name == "DisappearingPlates" then
30        timeTillGameEnds = 20
31        --Countdown until the game ends
32        for i = timeTillGameEnds, 1, -1 do
33            h.Text = "Time Left: " .. i
34            removePlate()
35        end
