Abstract: An electronic system accesses a game application over a computerized network, and allows a user to play individually without personal interaction with any other user within a multiplayer environment. The user is presented with a map or three-dimensional virtual rendering of the user's real-life current location in a geographic area on the display, shown as a virtual location, and dynamic data on the real-life geographic area is integrated into the display to dynamically update the map or three-dimensional rendering of the corresponding virtual location in the geographic area, thereby dynamically updating the virtual rendering of the user's current location in the real-life geographic area in real-time. Benefits are initiated to the user based on content to which the user is exposed during game play as the user dynamically navigates the map or three-dimensional virtual rendering of the real-life geographic area shown on the display in real-time, during the game application.
