    Sure just have a boolean that checks if it has run or not. And if the boolean is false run your message and once your message runs check it to true. so that I never runs again. I do this with a GameCenter prompt at the Beginning of AlphaBalls for example.

    your pop up HAS to be set to the condition of the boolean being false. Then when it runs you need to change boolean to true.

    you need to save the attribute after you trigger it, and load it at the start of every game
