Token/NFC input before launching game + Time Limit for Youth Club?

Hi. I've set up LaunchBox/BigBox at home for a while now, for family and friends when they bring the kids round. But a local after school/youth club near me has raised a suggestion that sounds like a good idea and wondering how to go bout it or if it's even possible. The suggestion was using a LaunchBox set up as part of the good behaviour reward program that they have set up. Good Behaviour/Good act in the community = Token with allotted time = Time on games = Good Behaviour. Bad Behaviour = Time taken away. Something like this was set up a while back for a Minecraft server in the past.

What I'm aiming for, is some kind of programming/plugin/AutoHotKey that sits between selecting the game to play, and actually running the game, and doesn't allow progression unless the person inserts a token or NFC card, then the game runs, but there is a time limit in place, so when the timer runs out, controls are locked out and the game goes to pause that's in LaunchBox or exits the emulator. 

So is something like this possible to be integrated into LaunchBox via a plugin or script or something, or is this a idea that's good, but not possible? I know this is rather a niche idea, but worth asking.
