In a first mode (quest mode) in which a quest is executed, the first object can only be placed at a fixed position of the second object. Further, in the second mode (free layout mode) in which the quest is not executed, the first object obtained in the quest can be placed at a specified position specified by the user among the second objects selected by the user. The first object and the second object are not particularly limited. For example, the second object is an object that is larger than the first object in at least one of height, width, and depth (large object, small object). The second object is an object that accommodates the first object. In this embodiment, the second object is a glass container and a pedestal, and the first object is a stuffed animal, a plant such as a flower, a rock, an animal, furniture or fixtures such as a chair, a topography such as a pond, a building, a fountain, etc. These include buildings, vehicles, food or related items, characters, etc. The first object and the second object imitate a terrarium, and the first object is drawn so as to be placed on the top surface of a pedestal placed inside the glass container.

The method of drawing the first object and the second object is not particularly limited as long as the first object is drawn in association with the second object. When arranging a three-dimensional object in the virtual space, the game server 14 sets the coordinates of a position in contact with the second object or inside the second object as the coordinates of the first object. Furthermore, when using a two-dimensional image, the display is controlled so that the first object, which is a two-dimensional image, overlaps the second object, which is a two-dimensional image.

FIG. 2 shows owned object information 46A that constitutes part of the game management information 46. The owned object information 46A includes information regarding the first object and second object obtained during the process of accomplishing the mission or when the mission is accomplished.

The identification information of the second object is associated with the identification information of the first object placed in the second object. The coordinates of the first object indicate the coordinates where the first object is placed. Note that although the coordinates of the first object are three-dimensional coordinates in FIG. 3, they may be two-dimensional coordinates if the first object is arranged in a two-dimensional space. In the second mode, a plurality of combinations of the second object and the first object can be recorded in the game management information 46.

(quest)
A quest mode in which a plurality of quests included in the game are executed will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

FIG. 4 shows a part of the screen displayed on the display 23 of the user device 12. The game has multiple quests. Although there are three quests shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that more than three quests are set. Further, the number of quests set in the game is not limited to this. A container object 63 as a second object 62 and a pedestal object 64 as a second object are preset in each quest. The container object 63 differs depending on the quest. For example, the object may be a spherical container object, a decorated container object, a rectangular parallelepiped container object, or the like. Furthermore, the pedestal object 64 is a common object among quests. The quest 51 indicates a state in which a mission is accomplished by placing a predetermined number of first objects on the pedestal object 64. Regarding the quests 52 and 53, while an image indicating the existence of the quest is displayed, at least one of the second object 62 and the first object 61 is displayed as a broken line, grayed out, hidden, etc., indicating that the mission has not been accomplished. displayed in an identifiable manner.

Referring to FIG. 5, the procedure of the game server 14 when a user challenges a quest in the game will be described. When the web server unit 41 of the game server 14 receives a request to start a quest selected by the user from the user device 12, the web server unit 41 reads out the first objects used in the quest from the storage 43, and provides a list of the first objects to the user. The information is transmitted to the device 12 (step S1). The first object read from the storage 43 may be owned by the user, may not be owned by the user, or may be both. The user device 12 displays the list of first objects received from the game server 14 on the display 23.

The user device 12 receives the user's operation to select the first object, and transmits the identification information of the selected first object to the game server 14. The game management unit 40 of the game server 14 receives the selection of the first object 61 (step S2). When the first object is selected from the first object group that the user does not own, the game management unit 40 selects the number of virtual currencies such as coins, points, tickets, etc. included in the game management information 46. The first object is purchased or exchanged according to the type of the first object. Further, the game management unit 40 records the first object in the user's owned object information 46A when virtual currency, points, tickets, etc. are subtracted.

The game management unit 40 controls the first object owned by the user and selected by the user to be placed on the second object (step S3). Specifically, the game management unit 40 sets the display position of the selected first object to a fixed position, and outputs the identification information and fixed position of the first object to the web server unit 41. The web server unit 41 creates web data for drawing the first object and the second object based on the identification information and fixed position of the first object, or reads prepared web data and sends the created web data to the user device 12. Send. At this time, the game management unit 40 may place the object at the fixed position of the second object only by an operation in which the object is selected by the user. Alternatively, the web server unit 41 places the object only when the position specified by the user matches the fixed position based on the operation of selecting the object and the operation of specifying the position of the second object. Objects do not need to be placed if the specified position does not match the fixed position.

The game management unit 40 determines whether a predetermined number of first objects have been placed (step S4). The number of first objects placed on the second object in each quest is determined in advance. If the game management unit 40 determines that the predetermined number of first objects are not placed (step S4: NO), the process returns to step S1. If the game management unit 40 determines that a predetermined number of first objects have been placed (step S4: YES), a reward is provided (step S5). Specifically, the character object 71 that appeared in the executed quest and the container object 63, which is the second object 62, are given as rewards. The game management unit 40 records the identification information of a character object such as "character A" associated with the mission and the identification information of the container object 63 in the user's owned object information 46A. In addition to rewards, the game management unit 40 raises the user's level when a mission is accomplished. In other words, as the quest progresses, the user's level increases step by step.

Note that the reward for achieving the quest may be either the character object 71 or the second object. Further, as a reward for achieving the quest, something other than the character object and the second object may be recorded in the user's owned object information 46A. The reward is, for example, a game medium, and may be an item, virtual currency such as coins or gems, points, tickets, stamina (physical strength, HP), skills, abilities, or the like.

With reference to FIG. 6, a quest screen 60 displayed on the display 23 of the user device 12 when executing a quest will be described. The quest screen 60 is a screen based on web data sent from the game server 14. The quest screen 60 is provided with a numerical value display area 60A. The numerical display area 60A displays the user's level, the number of gems owned, the number of coins owned, the number of points, etc. Further, the quest screen 60 displays a quest placement area 74, an object selection area 65, and a game content acquisition area 69. In the quest placement area 74, a container object 63 imitating a spherical glass container, which is a second object 62, and a pedestal object 64, which is drawn to be accommodated in the container object 63, are displayed. A character object 71 is arranged on the pedestal object 64. Further, guide displays 72 and 73 indicating the type of first object to be placed and the position where the first object is to be placed are displayed in the quest placement area 74.

Furthermore, first object images 66 to 68 are displayed in the object selection area 65. For example, when the first object image 67 is selected, the guide display 73 corresponding to the first object in the quest placement area 74 becomes active. Further, when the user selects an image of the first object that the user does not own, the user operates the purchase button 70 displayed in the game content acquisition area 69. Further, when the first object is purchased, or in addition to the purchase operation, the first object is displayed at a fixed position of the second object 62 through a selection operation of the first object by the user after purchase. The type and number of first objects 61 to be placed differ depending on the mission.

When the mission is accomplished, the game management unit 40 prohibits changing the position of the first object 61 and prohibiting the deletion of the first object 61. Alternatively, the game management unit 40 may prohibit changing the position of the first object 61 or deleting the first object 61 at the time when the first object 61 is placed on the second object 62 in the quest. . Image data and the like of the first object 61 and the second object 62 in a state in which the mission has been achieved are recorded in the storage 43 of the game server 14. This image data is output to the display 23 of the user device 12 in response to a request from the user device 12.

While proceeding with a quest in which the first object 61 is placed in a fixed position set by a person who is familiar with good-looking layouts, such as a game developer, the user naturally learns the main points of the layout of the first object 61. gain For example, if a tall first object is placed on the edge of the upper surface of the hemispherical pedestal object 64, even if a large number of first objects are placed, it will not block other first objects and will look good. Learn the key points such as how placing flower objects of different sizes will make the screen more lively.

(Home Screen)
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a second mode (free layout mode) in which the first object is placed on the home screen will be described. A layout area 83 is displayed on the home screen 80. In the layout area 83, a container object 63 and a pedestal object 64, which are the second objects 62, and the first object 61 are arranged. On the home screen 80, the character object 71 also corresponds to the first object. The container object 63 and the first object 61 are selected by the user from the owned object information 46A associated with the user. The first object 61 is placed at a designated position that is designated by the user by operating the input operation unit 24 . When the user places the first object 61 in this manner, the user can place the first object 61 by utilizing the key points learned by executing the quest or by imitating the layout in the quest.

For example, if the input operation unit 24 is a touch panel, the position specified by the user's tap operation or the second position when the selected first object 61 is slid from the first position to the second position is It becomes the specified position.

The control unit 30 of the user device 12 transmits the designated position to the game server 14 when the first object is designated. The game server 14 transmits web data in which the first object is placed at the specified position to the user device 12. The in-app browser of the user device 12 renders an image such as an object based on the received web data and displays it on the display 23.

If the position where the first object 61 is already displayed is set as the designated position of another first object 61, the already displayed first object 61 may be deleted from the layout area 83. Alternatively, a guide image recommending a change in position such as "The first object 61 is already displayed" may be displayed. When the guide image is displayed in this way, the first object 61 that is already displayed may be deleted or moved, and then another first object 61 may be placed in the vacant space.

Furthermore, in the free layout mode, it is permitted to erase the first object 61 placed at a designated position from the screen, and to move the first object 61 on the second object 62 to change its position. The game management unit 40 records the identification information and position of the first object 61 placed on the second object 62 in the object layout information 46B, and when receiving deletion or change of position from the user device 12, the object layout Update information 46B.

Further, the home screen 80 displays a camera button 81, an invitation button 82, a lottery execution button 84, and item buttons 85A to 85D. The camera button 81 is an operation object for capturing the home screen 80 or the layout area 83. When the camera button 81 is operated, the home screen 80 or layout area 83 is captured and stored in the storage 43 of the game server 14.

The invite button 82 is an operation object for inviting a friend user who is a friend of the user on SNS and who has never played the game to the game. When the invite button 82 is operated, the control unit 20 of the user device 12 acquires a list of friend users from the SNS server 13 via the game server 14, or acquires a list of friend users stored in advance in the storage 21. get. Further, the control unit 20 displays the list on the display 23. When the user performs an operation to select a friend user from the list, the control unit 20 of the user device 12 transmits the identification information of the selected friend user to the SNS server 13 via the game server 14. The SNS server 13 sends an invitation message to the friend user based on the received friend user identification information.

The lottery execution button 84 is an object for causing the game server 14 to execute lottery processing. When the game server 14 executes the lottery process, the roulette 89 rotates, and the items selected by the lottery process are displayed in an identifiable manner. Item buttons 85A to 85D are operation objects for selecting a menu item, operation objects for transitioning from the home screen 80 to a screen for executing a quest, operation objects for transitioning to a shop screen, and operation objects for displaying other users' screens. This is an operation object for display. The second object 62 and first object 61 displayed in the layout area 83 can be selected using a window etc. that is displayed by operating the item button 85A. On the shop screen, the first object etc. can be purchased.

(lottery)
Next, the lottery process will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. When the user operates the lottery execution button 84, the user device 12 transmits a lottery request to the game server 14. When the game management unit 40 of the game server 14 receives the lottery request, it reduces the number of gems associated with the user from the game management information 46 by a predetermined amount, and performs a lottery process to select one lottery item from a plurality of lottery items. Further, the web server unit 41 rotates the roulette wheel and displays squares, which are the selected lottery items, on the display 23 of the user device 12 in a distinguishable manner.

The lottery items include items in which coins or the like can be obtained as a reward, friend items in which rewards can be given to friends, and mini-game items in which a mini-game can be executed.
With reference to FIG. 8, the processing procedure of the game server 14 when the friend item is selected will be described. The game management unit 40 of the game server 14 acquires the game user information 45 stored in the storage 43 and determines whether there is a friend playing the game (step S11). That is, the game management unit 40 determines whether or not there is a friend on SNS who is recorded as a user of the same game as the user. At this time, the game management section 40 may use information obtained in advance from the SNS server 13, or request the SNS server 13 for information on friends who are game users, and obtain the necessary information. Good too.

When the game management unit 40 determines that there are no friends who are game users (step S11: NO), the game management unit 40 displays an invitation screen for inviting friends who are not game users via the web server unit 41 on the display of the user device 12. 23 and invites friends to the game based on the user's operation (step S21). Specifically, when an operation for selecting a friend is performed on the invitation screen, the web server unit 41 transmits the identification information of the selected friend to the SNS server 13. The SNS server 13 sends a game invitation message to a chat room between the user and his friends, with the friend as the destination.

On the other hand, if the game management unit 40 determines that there is a friend who is a game user (step S11: YES), it further determines whether there is a friend who has played the game within a predetermined period (step S12). The predetermined period is, for example, within one day, within one week, within one month, etc.

If the game management unit 40 determines that there is no friend who has played the game within the predetermined period (step S11: NO), the process proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, if the game management unit 40 determines that there is a friend who has played the game within the predetermined period (step S12: YES), the game management unit 40 extracts the identification information of the friend (step S13), and extracts the identification information of the friend. Based on the game management information 46 and the like, a predetermined number (for example, two) of friends at a higher level are selected (step S14). At this time, a predetermined number of friends may be selected in descending order of level, or friends may be selected at random from friends with "level 20" or higher. If there are no higher level friends, a predetermined number of friends are randomly selected from among the friends extracted in step S13. Alternatively, if the number of friends extracted in step S13 does not reach the predetermined number, all friends are selected.

The game management unit 40 associates the privilege with the friend selected in step S14 (step S15). Specifically, the game management unit 40 associates the benefit with the game management information 46 corresponding to the selected friend. Note that when a friend is invited to the game in step S21, a benefit is associated when the invited friend starts the game. In addition, the game management unit 40 causes the user device 12 of the user who spun the roulette to display, via the web server unit 41, a screen on which an effect for awarding a benefit is drawn on a friend's home screen. Note that, at this stage, no benefits have been given to the friend. When a friend logs into the game via SNS and performs an operation to select a benefit on the home screen or the like, the benefit is given to the friend.

Furthermore, the game management unit 40 gives a reward to the user (step S16). The game management unit 40 records the reward in the user's game management information 46 and transmits web data for displaying a screen including the reward to the user device 12 via the web server unit 41.

Next, the web server unit 41 (or game management unit 40) sends a notification to the friend with whom the benefit has been associated (step S17). Specifically, the web server unit 41 transmits a message transmission request to the SNS server 13 along with the friend's identification information, the identification information of the user who spun the roulette wheel, and the message content. Instead of the friend's identification information and the user's identification information, identification information of a chat room between the friend and the user may be transmitted. Upon receiving the message transmission request and various information, the SNS server 13 outputs a message containing the received message content to the friend's and user's chat rooms. The message content is, for example, a message such as "A present has arrived from Mr. A. Please receive it within 24 hours." When the friend logs into the SNS application program and performs an operation to receive the benefit on the home screen, the friend's user device sends a notification indicating the completion of receipt to the game server 14.

Rewards have a set period for receiving them. The receiving period is, for example, 24 hours. The game management unit 40 determines whether a receipt completion notification has been received from the friend's user device 12 within a predetermined period. If the game management unit 40 determines that the receipt of the benefit has not been completed within the predetermined period (step S18: NO), it erases the association between the friend and the benefit (step S20). On the other hand, if the game management unit 40 determines that the receipt of the benefit has been completed within the predetermined period (step S18: YES), the game management section 40 records the identification information of the benefit in the friend's game management information 46 and grants the benefit to the friend. (Step S19).

With reference to FIG. 9, the effect screen 100, which is displayed on the user device 12 in step S15, will be described, on which an effect for giving a benefit to a friend's home screen is drawn. On the performance screen 100, in addition to the second object 62 and the like displayed on the friend's home screen, a bonus object 101 of a treasure chest is displayed. By checking the presentation screen 100, the user can understand that a benefit has been associated with a friend. In addition, a reward is given by selecting the privilege object 101 displayed on the home screen displayed on the display 23 of the user device 12 used by the friend.

In this way, even when a user performs a lottery process alone, depending on the lottery item, it is possible to interact with other users, so it is possible to increase motivation for the lottery, especially among users who place importance on interaction with friend users. .

(Presentation of other user's home screen)
Next, presenting another user's home screen will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. First, with reference to FIG. 10, a procedure for presenting another user's home screen after the user logs into the game will be described. The game management unit 40 acquires the layout information of the home screens of higher-level users among the users who play the game, including the user (step S30). Specifically, at a predetermined timing, the ranking is performed in descending order of the level based on the level included in the game management information 46 of each user stored in the storage 43. The game management unit 40 also acquires layout information corresponding to the home screen from among the object layout information 46B of users at higher levels, such as the highest level "1st" to "3rd". The acquired layout information is temporarily recorded in the storage 43. Further, when the game management unit 40 receives the user's login (step S31), the game management unit 40 transmits the layout information of the upper level user as an introduction screen to the user device 12 via the web server unit 41, and displays the layout information on the display 23. It is output (step S32).

FIG. 11 shows an introduction screen 110 displayed on the user device 12 in step S32. The introduction screen 110 displays a second object 62 and a first object 61 that are displayed on the home screen of a high-ranking user (for example, "Mr. A"). Further, the introduction screen 110 displays a character object 71 and an introduction message 111 for the character object 71. Higher-level users own many first objects 61 and are expected to devise a layout of the first objects 61 on the home screen. The combination of the first object 61 and the second object 62 can be used as a reference for your own home screen.

(Visits to home screen between users)
Next, visits to the home screen between users will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. There are several methods for visiting the home screen, such as visiting a friend's home screen, visiting based on the user's home screen visit history, and randomly visiting another user's randomly selected home screen. These visiting methods can be selected by user operations. When visiting a friend's home screen, a list of friends of the user who is using the game is displayed on the display 23 of the user device 12, and the home screen of another user selected by the user from the list is viewed. . In a visit based on the visit history, a list of other users who have visited the user's home screen is displayed on the display 23 of the user device 12, and the home screen of another user selected by the user from the list is viewed.

With reference to FIG. 12, the procedure of random visit processing of the user device 12, SNS server 13, and game server 14 will be described. When a random visit is selected by the user, a random visit request is transmitted from the user device 12 to the game server 14 (step S40). The game server 14 randomly selects one user as the destination to visit from among the other users who use the game (step S41). Furthermore, the game server 14 transmits web data for displaying the selected user's home screen to the user device 12 (step S42). The user device 12 causes the display 23 to display a randomly selected home screen of another user (hereinafter referred to as a random visit screen) based on the received web data.

When a user wants to share the random visit screen with friends who play the game, the user selects the friend to share from the list of friends displayed by operating the random visit screen. . Thereby, the user device 12 transmits a sharing request to the game server 14 together with the identification information of the friend who performs the sharing (step S43).

When the game server 14 receives the sharing request, it transmits the sharing request to the SNS server 13 (step S44). When the SNS server 13 receives the sharing request and the identification information of the friend to share with, the SNS server 13 sends a message to be displayed in a chat room between the user who requested the sharing and the friend designated as the sharing destination to the user device 12 used by the friend. (Step S45).

After transmitting the message, the SNS server 13 transmits a transmission notification to the game server 14 (step S46). When the game server 14 receives the transmission notification from the SNS server 13, it gives benefits to the user who requested sharing and other users at the visited destination (step S47). Although the privilege is not particularly limited, for example, the stamina recorded in the game management information 46 of the user and other users at the visited destination is increased.

Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the procedure of random visiting by the game server 14 will be described in more detail. When the game management unit 40 receives the random visit request from the user device 12, it randomly selects one user from among the users who use the game (step S50). Further, the game management unit 40 causes the home screen of another user to be displayed on the display 23 of the user device 12 via the web server unit 41 (step S51).

The game management unit 40 determines whether or not a "like" button that is displayed on the random visit screen and is used to give a good evaluation to the random visit screen has been pressed (step S52). If the game management unit 40 determines that the button has been pressed (step S52: YES), it grants game media such as coins to the user (step S53). At this time, the game content may also be given to other users at the visited destination. On the other hand, if the game management unit 40 determines that the button has not been pressed (step S52: NO), the process proceeds to step S54.

The game management unit 40 determines whether the random visit screen has been shared with a user who is a friend of the user and uses the game (step S54). If the game management unit 40 determines that the object has been shared (step S54: YES), it places the object, which is the game medium, on the home screen of another user via the web server unit 41 (step S55). The game management unit 40 also provides the game content to the user who requested sharing (step S56).

In this way, even if the game is basically played by a user alone, by increasing the opportunities for interaction with other users, it is possible to increase the motivation of users who want to interact with other users towards the game. It is possible to increase the continuity of the game. Note that continuity refers to the percentage or number of users who restart the game after a predetermined period of time after starting the game as a new user, or the percentage or number of users who are repeat users who restart the game after a predetermined period.

The effects of the above embodiment will be explained.
(1) In the above embodiment, the user naturally learns the main points of laying out the first objects while enjoying the quest by completing the mission of placing a predetermined number of first objects in preset fixed positions. You can learn from it. Then, when arranging the first object at the specified position specified by the user among the second objects selected by the user himself/herself, the learned key points of layout can be utilized. Therefore, when arranging the first object at the designated position, it is possible to create an attractive layout in a relatively short period of time, thereby increasing the continuity of the game.

(2) In the above embodiment, multiple combinations of the second object and the first object placed at the specified position of the second object can be recorded as the editing history, so it is possible to compare multiple layout patterns. .

(3) In the above embodiment, the first object placed at a fixed position in the quest does not accept cancellation of placement or change of position as a layout sample. Furthermore, since the first object placed at the designated position accepts cancellation of placement and change of position, it is possible to repeatedly improve the layout of the first object.

(4) In the above embodiment, since the information of the user's first object and second object is shared and evaluated by other users, motivation can be increased when arranging the first object. Moreover, when a game medium is provided to a user who performs evaluation, the motivation to perform evaluation can be increased. Furthermore, if the game content is given to the user who is performing the evaluation, it is possible to further increase motivation when placing the first object.

(5) In the above embodiment, when a user logs in, an introduction screen that introduces the layout of other users' objects is automatically displayed, so even users who do not like complicated operations can easily You can easily refer to the layout.

(6) In the above embodiment, if a friend item is selected when a lottery is drawn by spinning the roulette wheel, the game content is given not only to the user who drew the lottery but also to the friend. It is possible to increase motivation for the lottery among users who place importance on interaction with users. Furthermore, by increasing the opportunities for friends to interact with each other in the game, it is possible to increase the motivation of users who want to interact with each other in the game, thereby increasing the continuity of the game.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. At least one of the above embodiments and the following modifications can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.

- In the above embodiment, only one type of first object can be placed at one fixed position in the first mode. Alternatively or in addition to this, there may be a plurality of types of first objects that can be placed at one fixed position. According to this aspect, since the first object to be placed at a fixed position can be selected from a plurality of first objects, it is possible to create a combination of objects that reflects the user's intention even in the process of accomplishing a mission. .

- In the above embodiment, in addition to displaying the quest screen, the in-app browser of the user device 12 displays the home screen. Alternatively, while the quest screen is displayed using the in-app browser, the home screen may be displayed using the native part. The control unit 30 of the user device 12 receives the specified position based on the user's operation, and displays the first object at the specified position. In this case, the user device 12 records the identification information of the second object and the identification information and coordinates of the first object in the storage 21 or memory. When the "edit confirmation" button is operated on the home screen or when an information request is received from the game server 14, the control unit 20 includes the identification information of the second object and the identification information and coordinates of the first object. The information or image data of the layout area 83 is transmitted to the game server 14. The game server 14 records the received information in the storage 43 in association with the user. By using the native part of the SNS application program to edit the home screen, it is possible to utilize some of the functions of the user device 12. For example, if the user device 12 has a position detection function using GPS (Global Positioning System), the native part acquires position information or information related to the position and detects the surrounding environment of the user device 12. , may be reflected in the quest placement area 74. For example, in the case of rainy weather, rain may be made to fall inside the second object in the quest placement area 74. Alternatively, an object representing a characteristic point (building, tourist spot, etc.) around the user device 12 may be displayed in the second object of the quest placement area 74.

Further, in the above embodiment, in step S17, the web server unit 41, which has received an instruction from the in-app browser of the user device 12, sends a message sending request to the SNS server 13 to send a notification to the friend associated with the benefit. I decided to do so. Alternatively, the native unit of the user device 12 may send a message transmission request to the SNS server 13. Further, the lottery process may be performed by a native player. In addition to this, the native part may execute the processing performed using the in-app browser in the above embodiment.

- In the above embodiment, the mission is achieved by placing the first object on the second object. Alternatively or in addition to this, the first object may be allowed to grow. For example, when a first object imitating a plant is watered, its size may change after a predetermined period of time.

- In the above embodiment, the user's level is raised when the mission is accomplished. Alternatively or in addition to this, the user's level may be increased when other users' evaluations of the second object and the first object displayed on the home screen are high. For example, a level is set on the user's home screen according to the number of times a social button that gives a good evaluation is operated.

- In the above embodiment, when the game management unit 40 determines that the mission set in the quest has been achieved, the user's level is raised and a reward is given to the user (step S5). It is also possible to simply change user parameters such as level and heart so as to be advantageous to the game.

- In the above embodiment, the lottery process is a process of selecting any one lottery item (square) of the roulette wheel. Instead of or in addition to this, the method of producing the lottery process may be another method. For example, it may be possible to simply display randomly selected lottery items, or it may be possible to display a Sugoroku that advances by a randomly selected number of lottery items.

- In the above embodiment, the home screen of a higher level user is selected as the introduction screen 110. Alternatively or in addition to this, a home screen with high evaluation from users of the game may be selected as the introduction screen 110. The evaluation from the user is determined by the number of times the social button that gives a good evaluation is operated, and the number of times the social button is operated is stored in the game management information 46.

- In the above embodiment, when a random visit screen is shared, the game content is given to the user who shared the screen and the user at the visited destination. Alternatively or in addition to this, the game content may be given only to the user who shared the content. Furthermore, the game content may be given to the user who shared the game, the user who visited the site, and the user who shared the game.

- In the above embodiment, the second object is both the container object and the pedestal object, but it may be either one of them. Further, the second object is not limited to the container object and the pedestal object, but may be anything that can be drawn in association with the first object, and can be changed according to the content of the game. For example, the second object may be a field set in the virtual space and in which the character object moves. Alternatively, the second object may be a vehicle such as a car, motorcycle, ship, or airplane on which a character object or the like rides. Alternatively, the second object may be a building such as a house, a building, or a tower. Further, in the game, the mission is achieved by placing a predetermined number of first objects such as flowers and furniture at fixed positions, but other objects may be used. For example, the game may be a puzzle game in which a mission is accomplished by placing a puzzle piece as a first object at a fixed position on a puzzle board as a second object. Alternatively, the game may use a plurality of character objects or other objects (units) as the first object to fight against the opponent, depending on their roles and functions (offensive type, defensive type, combat power, high HP, size). Action games, shooting games, racing games, fighting games, simulation games, and role playing games where you can learn strategies by placing a second object in a fixed position on the battle field according to the speed, speed of movement, etc. It may also be a playing game. In this case, after placing the first object at a fixed position in a first mode such as a training mode, the game is executed in an automatic mode that is performed automatically or a manual mode that is performed by user's operation, and the winner or loser is determined. do. Then, in the second mode such as the actual battle mode, after the first object selected by the user is placed at the designated position, those games are executed. Alternatively, the game may be a love game in which the user enjoys interaction with a character object such as the first object. In this case, in the first mode, a present or message object, etc. as the first object is placed in a fixed position of the second object such as a field, and in the second mode, any first object selected by the user is specified as the second object. It is determined whether or not the character object can be liked by the character object.

- In the above embodiment, the SNS application program was explained as a hybrid application program, but it may be a native application program. In this case, the user device 12 executes part of the processing performed by the game server 14 in the above embodiment. For example, the coordinates of the first object are determined, the image data of the quest or the home screen is recorded in the storage 21, and the like. Further, the SNS function and the game function may be realized not by installing the SNS application program in the user device 12 but by using a browser installed in the user device 12 to develop web data. In this case, the game server 14 is responsible for part of the processing of the user device 12 of the above embodiment.

- In the above embodiment, the present invention was embodied as a game system, but it may also be a system that provides other services such as a video distribution service that allows objects to be placed in a drawing space.
