A game event is configured to comprise one or more independently progressing sub-processes (SP1 -SP6) into which groups of game charac - ters (CI -C3) are selected. Selected game characters (CI -C3) are provided with set of allowed interaction a functions for activation in the sub-process (SP1 -SP6). The state of the sub-process (SP1 -SP6) changed in response is to a game character (CI -C3) activat­ ing an interaction function from the set of allowed interaction functions, and the set of allowed interaction functions of the game characters (CI -C3) is updated in response to state change of the sub-process (SP1 -SP6).
