How to set duration of game in UI?

I have a game and I am doing now the UI (GUI) for that game to set some parameters. One of this parameter should be the duration of this game (in minutes). How can I define that when I type for example 3 in the input field , that the game should run 3 minutes?

Thank you for your help!

Edit:

Here the code I have so far: 

public void DurationGame() { 

    float myTimer = 5.0f; 

    if (myTimer > 0) {
        myTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
    }

    if (myTimer <= 0) {

        //Game should stop here

        Debug.Log ("GAME OVER"); 
    }

You got it, just put that code in the Update function, like this:

public float myTimer = 5.0f;
public bool gameIsRunning; //you don't want to let the timer run while in pause

void Update ()
{
    if (myTimer > 0 && gameIsRunning) myTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
    else if (myTimer <= 0 && gameIsRunning) Debug.Log ("GAME OVER");
}
