Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for administrator-based navigating of a participant between rooms. The program and method provide, to a first of plural participants, a first user interface for navigating a virtual space comprising plural rooms, the first user interface allowing the first participant to move the plural participants among the plural rooms; provide, to a second participant, a second user interface for navigating the virtual space, the second user interface allowing the second participant to move among the plural rooms while disallowing to move other participants among the plural rooms; receive an indication of user input via the first user interface, to move the second participant from a first room to a second room; and provide, in response to receiving the indication, for switching the second participant from the first to second room.

Abstract: Method for generating collectible media content items based on location information starts with processor receiving location information from location sensor coupled to first client computing device. Processor causes a map interface to be displayed that includes avatar of first user at a location based on the location information and a subset of a plurality of collectible items associated with geographical coordinates. When the first client computing device is determined to be within predetermined distance from a selected collectible item, processor causes front facing camera view to be displayed on the first client computing device, causes lens corresponding to selected collectible item to be applied to the front facing camera view, and causes the image of the selected collectible item displayed on the front facing camera view to change. Lens includes image of the selected collectible item that is overlaid on front facing camera view. Other embodiments are described herein.
