1. A computer system for activating an event-based interactive device, comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that when executed by the one or more processors configure the computer system to perform at least the following;
receive a unique device identifier, wherein the unique device identifier is associated with the event-based interactive device;
receive user information associated with a user of the event-based interactive device, wherein the user information comprises one or more user attributes associated with the user;
classify multiple event-based interactive devices into discrete groups, wherein at least one group is defined based upon a common user attribute that is shared by users of each event-based interactive device within the at least one group;
transmit predetermined numerical codes to each event-based interactive device within each of the discrete groups, wherein each discrete group is associated with a unique predetermined numerical code; and
transmit a particular numerical code to the multiple event-based interactive devices, wherein receiving the particular numerical code causes specific event-based interactive devices that are associated with the particular numerical code to activate an indicator that indicates each user within the group shares the common user attribute.

Abstract
A computer system for activating an event-based interactive device can be configured to receive, through a data input API, a unique device identifier. The unique device identifier may be associated with the event-based interactive device. Additionally, the system can be configured to receive user information associated with a user of the event-based interactive device. The system can classify event-based interactive devices into groups based upon the user information. Further, the system can be configured to transmit a command to at least one group of event-based interactive devices.
