Systems and Methods for Playing and Managing Virtual Activities Via User Devices

In a virtual activity management computer system (VAMS), wherein the VAMS includes a VAMS management server wirelessly connected to one or more edge servers located at one or more corresponding activity centers, and wherein the one or more edge servers are operatively coupled to one or more electronic scoring systems affiliated with the one or more activity centers, wherein one or more users physically perform one or more activities at the one or more activity centers, a method for enabling virtual activity challenges, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a request from a user at the VAMS management server relating to initiation of an electronic activity challenge corresponding to a physical activity being performed by the user at a particular activity center, wherein the request is transmitted to the VAMS management computer system by an electronic device of the user;
• retrieving one or more predefined rules that define criteria of the electronic activity challenge initiated by the user;
• receiving and storing activity information at the VAMS management server corresponding to the physical activity being performed by the user at the particular activity center, wherein the activity information is necessitated by the criteria of the one or more predefined rules relating to the electronic activity challenge, and wherein the activity information is obtained from a particular electronic scoring system at the particular activity center and transmitted to the VAMS management server via a particular edge server at the particular activity center;
• and
• upon determination that the activity information satisfies the criteria of the electronic activity challenge, generating an outcome of the electronic activity challenge.
