can you tell us more?

For instance, what OS is the game running on? Is it an online game? Locally installed game?

We need to know a little more before we can help you.

Well, if the OS is Linux, then you can use permissions to limit who can get where. Here is a link to an explanation of permissions if you don't already know.
