You can instead use the GetPlayers() method as stated on the NumPlayers page. GetPlayers returns a table of the players in the game, not to be confused with GetChildren() which will return anything in Players, even if the object is not a Player. Since the table is an array you can put # in front of it and it will tell you the number of indexes in the table.

local PlayersService = game:GetService('Players')
local minPlayers = 1

local plrs = {}

local function StartGame()
	for _, player in pairs(PlayersService:GetPlayers()) do
		if player then
			table.insert(plrs, player)
		end
	end
	for i = 5, 0, -1 do 
		print ( i )
		wait(1)
	end
end

local function StopGame()
	Status.Value = 'Intermission'
	-- reset table
	for i,v in pairs( plrs ) do
		plrs[i] = nil
	end
end


while true do 
	local NumPlayers = #PlayersService:GetPlayers()
	if NumPlayers >= minPlayers then 
		StartGame()
		StopGame()
	else
		local difference = minPlayers - NumPlayers
		Status.Value = ('Waiting for %d more %s'):format(difference, difference > 1 and 'players' or 'player')
	end
	wait( 1 )
end

It's #game.Players:GetPlayers(). For loop i = start, end, increment by num

How about this

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
	repeat wait(1) until v >= 2
end
