1. A method comprising, by one or more computing devices:
- receiving a first message identifying a user;
accessing a game account of the user to identify one or more computer-implemented games associated with the user;
generating a location-based action for the user, wherein the location-based action is an action the user can perform at one or more locations; and
transmitting a second message, wherein the second message comprises a description of the location-based action, a description of an incentive reward, and an offer of the incentive reward for performing the location-based action, whereinthe incentive reward is an in-game asset corresponding to one or more of the identified games.
