Answer 1

You can set the paused property of your scene to true. Put this in your prepareForSegue.

gameScene.paused = true //gameScene is whatever your scene variable is

When you return to the game VC, just set paused to false.

If you look at the docs for SKScene you'll notice its a subclass of SKNode. Here's a link to the paused property on SKNode
