Is there a way to play slow chess?

I made an account for my young son (6 yrs old) to play with his teammates and friends during quarantine.  The default 10 minutes is too quick.  Is there a slow chess option or what's the maximum time I can put on the clock?

Thanks,

You can create seeks for pretty much any time control that is just a base time plus any increment. 

 

If you click the time control button, all the quick selections populate or you can use Custom and set what you want.

15|10 is the best time control online. It is the official FIDE rapid time control.

You can find 45/45 games under the rapid menu. It is hidden under the additional options and means the time control is 45 minutes per player plus an additional 45 seconds for each move. It usually only takes a few minutes or less to find a game.

I would call it more classical than rapid, but here it is under rapid anyway. That's what I mostly play.
