Abstract
Method and system for granting in-game resources for a telematics-based game. In some examples, a computer-implemented method includes: generating, based on a character profile, one or more virtual occurrences to be encountered by a virtual character; determining, based on a plurality of virtual ratings of the virtual character, one or more outcomes associated with the one or more virtual occurrences; determining, based on a user's driving performance during one or more real trips, a first quantity of a first game resource at least for purchasing outcome-modifying items, the outcome-modifying items being exclusively purchasable using the first game resource; upon receiving the user's selection to use a first outcome-modifying item: updating the one or more outcomes according to a predetermined adjustment; and determining, based on the updated one or more outcomes, a second quantity of a second game resource at least for purchasing character cosmetic upgrades, unlocking in-game items, and unlocking regions of a virtual map.
