The virtual location of a player in a location-based game is determined from the real-world location of the player's client device. The location-based game provides the player access to one or more chat room based on their location. To determine the locations of chat room, a server analyzes player locations in a geographic region, clusters player locations to identify centroids, and adjusts the clusters based on constraints. The server selects chat room locations (e.g., at points of interest) to more evenly balance the number of players in each chat room while complying with one or more restraints on the size of the geographic area served by each chat room.

Systems and methods to correlate user behavior patterns within an online game with psychological attributes of users exhibiting the user behavior patterns are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: store user information associated with the individual users including assignments of the individual users to individual ones of different cohorts of users, wherein the different cohorts are associated with different psychological profiles, where a given psychological profile is defined by multiple psychological parameter values, and the users are assigned to the different cohorts based on the psychological parameter values; obtain performance information that characterizes performances of user behavior patterns by the individual users; and determine correlations between individual ones of the performances of the user behavior patterns and individual ones of the psychological parameters based on the obtained user behavior patterns, the assignments of the users to the cohorts, and commonalities in the psychological profiles of the users within the individual cohorts.

A system for customizing an end user gaming experience is disclosed herein. The system includes a processor. The processor is configured to create a campaign by receiving a campaign creation request from an end user device, the campaign creation request comprising one or more parameters of a campaign associated with the campaign request, creating the campaign based on the one or more parameters associated with the campaign request, and personalizing one or more offers for an end user, each of the one or more offers comprising a game having one or more hurdles, wherein completion of each of the one or more hurdles leads to a reward. The processor is further configured to map a subset of the one or more personalized offers to the end user. The processor is further configured to monitor progress of the campaign.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to operate a game program. The program may cause an information processing device to execute a step of storing information relating to a game part, a step of displaying a screen including a first interface capable of detecting a first user operation, a determination step of (if the first user operation is detected) determining a mode of the game part to be one of a first mode or a second mode, a change step of changing a part of the screen according to the mode of the game part determined in the determination step, and an execution step of executing the game part in the mode determined in the determination step.

An example device comprises: a head-mounted display; a housing for the head-mounted display, the housing including an external surface; sensors to monitor a wearer of the head-mounted display; a visual indicator at the external surface; and a controller. The controller is generally to: control subsets of the sensors to be on or off based on respective permissions for usage of subsets of the sensors; and control the visual indicator to indicate respective status of the subsets of the sensors.

A player profile management system collects player data from various systems and generates and manages player profiles. A snapshot pipeline of the player profile management system generates a snapshot player profile associated with a player. The player profile management system receives, after generating the snapshot player profile associated with the player, player data associated with the player. An update pipeline of the player profile management system generates, based on the snapshot player profile and the player data associated with the player, an update player profile associated with the player.

Systems and methods to distribute benefits to unique digital articles based on real-world information are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage player accounts associated with the players, including a first and a second player account associated with a first and a second player; record and control eligibility of player-owned unique digital articles to receive distributions of benefits; determine real-world information based on events that have occurred in the real world; evaluate whether to distribute the benefits based on the real-world information and on the eligibilities of the player-owned unique digital articles; and provide the distributions accordingly.
