Systems and methods for transmitting interactive game features to multiple devices of a shared streaming media session

A system for transmitting interactive game features to multiple devices associated with a synchronous multimedia stream, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• at least one database;
• a server in network communication with the at least one database and the processor, the server storing instructions that are executable by the processor to:
• establish a virtual media streaming session;
• connect two or more user profiles of a media streaming platform to the virtual media streaming session;
• initiate streaming, in the virtual media streaming session, of an article of multimedia content, wherein the article of multimedia content is simultaneously viewable on user devices associated with each of the two or more user profiles and wherein the article of multimedia content is prerecorded;
• implement aspects associated with one or more interactive game features in the virtual media streaming session;
• and
• transmit, responsive to the implementing, a request for user input from to at least one of the two or more user profiles in furtherance of the one or more interactive game features, wherein the request is based on content occurring in the article of multimedia content.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a server in network communication with at least one database, cause the server to perform operations comprising:

• establishing a virtual media streaming session;
• connecting two or more user profiles of a media streaming platform to the virtual media streaming session;
• initiating streaming, in the virtual media streaming session, of an article of multimedia content, wherein the article of multimedia content is simultaneously viewable on user devices associated with each of the two or more user profiles and wherein the article of multimedia content is prerecorded;
• implementing, using the processor, aspects associated with one or more interactive game features in the virtual media streaming session;
• and
• transmitting, responsive to the implementing, a request for user input from to at least one of the two or more user profiles in furtherance of the one or more interactive game features to perform a task, wherein the request is based on content occurring in the article of multimedia content.
