Claim 7:
8. A system, comprising:
a processor;
a plurality of spatially distributed context sensors, coupled with the processor, to sense one or more parameters related to player activity; and
a computer-readable storage medium, coupled with the processor, comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
provide an escape room game, the escape room game comprising a plurality of puzzles corresponding to different solutions to be solved by a plurality of players in a specific order for successful completion of the escape room game, and wherein the plurality of players solve the plurality of puzzles in a room with defined boundaries, the room comprising one or more game objects associated with the escape room game;
receive an electronic message comprising an indication of consideration for occurrence of a first predicted level of performance of a first player of the plurality of players in the escape room game;
initiate the escape room game;
receive location signals from a signal emitter carried by each of the plurality of players;
determine, at a selected time and from the received location signals, a spatial position of each of the plurality of players in the room and the one or more game objects relative to a coordinate system;
based on the sensed one or more parameters and the determined spatial positions of each of the plurality of players at the selected time relative to a spatial position of the one or more game objects, identify separate game inputs of each player of the plurality of players;
based on the identified separate game inputs, determine a relative contribution of each player to solving at least a first puzzle of the plurality of puzzles, wherein the first predicted level of performance is associated with the relative contribution of the first player;
determine an award based on the indication of consideration in the electronic message and a comparison of the first predicted level of performance and relative contribution of the first player in solving the at least a first puzzle; and
adjust a value in an electronic record associated with an account of the first player to reflect the award.
