  • Patent number: 11845009
    Abstract: A game period is common among a plurality of users and includes a first period and a second period. An example information processing system advances a first game for each user in the first period. A rank of each user is determined based on a first individual parameter of the user for the first game from a past game period. A second individual parameter is determined for each user based on the rank of the user and the first individual parameter of the user for the first game from a current game period. In the second period, the information processing system determines a common parameter that is common among the plurality of users based on the second individual parameters for users who have performed a particular game input so as to advance a second game that is common among the plurality of users based on the common parameter.
