One area of the virtual world is populated with virtual, graphic representations of real business locations downloaded from a data base selected for the subscribing businesses' proximity to a postal code entered by the player. The interiors of the business location are represented as game play areas within the virtual world. Characters in the game present advertising and marketing information, and present challenges to the player some of which require visits to the actual business location.
