Abstract
Some embodiments relate to systems and methods for encouraging performance of kind acts. A toy object, a task identifier and a code are simultaneously provided to a user. The task includes an instruction to perform a kind act. Instructions further indicate that a user is to input the code into a website upon completing the identified task. Entry of the code causes a reward (e.g., a virtual reward or physical reward) to be distributed (e.g., to the user or to another party).
