Methods and systems for hosting a virtual environment in which geographic coordinates of a user are mapped to virtualized coordinates of an avatar in the virtual environment. The user's geographic coordinates may be compared to real world geographic coordinates of one or more entities having a presence in the virtual environment.

Responsive to the user selecting the first reward, the first reward may be activated for a first time period in association with one or more goods or services offered by the first entity.
