Abstract

The present concepts relate to placing gameplay locations in the real world, where gameplay elements can be generated at the gameplay locations. One example categorizes types of physical elements described in geolocation data, and determines scores for the physical elements based on the categorizations. Gameplay locations can then be utilized according to the scores, and the scores can be continuously refined through user or moderator interaction with gameplay elements that may be generated at the gameplay locations.
