Abstract: In a computer-based game, discovery and execution a synergy is facilitated. A synergy notification is randomly generated in response to a player event. The synergy notification indicates a discovery of a synergy and optionally includes a synergy quest to be completed by a player. When the player completes the synergy quest, the synergy is unlocked. Accordingly, the synergy is executed if two consecutive synergy actions are detected within a predetermined time window.

Abstract: In an example, a game player may be provided with an option to postpone an exit from a video game until a next checkpoint. In particular, an exit command may be received from the game player during a video game session. Upon receiving the exit command, a first option menu is displayed to the game player. The displayed first option menu may include a delay option to postpone the exit from the video game until the next checkpoint. When the next checkpoint is reached, a progress of the game player in the video game is saved and a second option menu may be displayed to the game player. The second option menu may include an exit option to quit the video game immediately.
