1. A method of adapting a virtual setting to a participant, comprising:
- launching a simulation program by a processor at a computing device of the participant;
retrieving a profile of the participant from memory;
activating an icon presented in a user interface by the simulation program to establish a communication link with a communication device not participating in the simulation program;
establishing a voice channel in response to activation of the icon between the computing device and the communications device not participating in the simulation program;
determining a country location of the participant from the profile;
adapting the virtual setting of the simulation program to the country location of the participant;
indicating in the profile that the participant is a child predator; and
disabling the voice channel when the profile indicates that the participant is a child predator.

Abstract
A method and system for adapting a virtual setting to a participant includes launching a simulation program on a computing device, evaluating a virtual profile of the participant and presenting scenarios within the virtual setting appropriate for said participant based on said evaluation, wherein at least a predetermined aspect of the virtual setting is available to the participant regardless of a result of said evaluation and the virtual setting corresponds to the simulation program.
