1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a performance of a location-based action by a player of a computer-implemented game executing on a game networking system, the location-based action including an attending of a live entertainment event by the player; and
providing a virtual item based on the receiving of the indication of the performance of the location-based action by the player of the computer-implemented game, the virtual item comprising one of a set of limited-edition virtual items to be provided exclusively to players of the computer-implemented game attending the live entertainment event, the virtual item being usable within the computer-implemented game, one or more modules incorporated into the game networking system to configure the game networking system to perform the receiving and providing, the one or modules implemented by one or more processors of the game networking system.

Abstract
A method of providing virtual items based on location-based action is disclosed. An indication is received of a performance of a location-based action by a player of a computer-implemented game. A virtual item is provided based on the receiving of the indication of the performance of the location-based action by the player of the computer-implemented game. The virtual item may be usable within the computer-implemented game.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that, when incorporated into a game networking system as one or more modules implemented by at least one processor of the game networking system, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a performance of a location-based action by a player of a computer-implemented game executing on the game networking system, the location-based action including an attending of live entertainment event by the player; and providing a virtual item based on the receiving of the indication of the performance of the location-based action by the player of the computer-implemented game, the virtual item comprising one of a set of limited-edition virtual items to be provided exclusively to players of the computer-implemented game attending the live entertainment event, the virtual item being usable within the computer-implemented game. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
