Abstract
Techniques for providing information related to insurance services solicit interaction from a user (e.g., during video game play). The solicited interaction identifies a real property. A virtual environment gaming landscape is generated. The gaming landscape includes a virtual representation of the identified real property. Additional interaction from the user with the virtual environment gaming landscape is solicited. A risk assessment related to the identified real property is performed based on user's interaction with the virtual environment gaming landscape. A recommendation regarding one or more services is provided based on the performed risk assessment.
