Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on15 November 2008(15.11.2008)CLAIMSWhat is claimed is:
1. A method comprising: receiving a message from a mobile device; obtaining information regarding a location of said mobile device in response to said message; and responding to said message by initiating a command for presentation of one or more special effects based, at least in part, on a game state associated with said mobile device and obtained location information.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said receiving said message comprises receiving said message while said mobile device is located at an interactive installation.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein said message is transmitted according to a wireless communication protocol.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein said receiving said message comprises receiving a text message from said mobile device forwarded through a mobile communication service provider.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said location information is determined, at least in part, in response to detection of a presence of a radio frequency identification (RFDD) device proximate to an interactive gaming installation at a known location.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein said RFID device is capable of transmitting information associated with said mobile device.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein said location information is determined, at least in part, based upon detection of a barcode signature proximate to an interactive gaming installation at a known location.
