Effectuating modifications within an instance of a virtual space presented via multiple disparate client computing platforms responsive to detection of a token associated with a single client computing platform

A system configured to effectuate modifications within an instance of a virtual space presented via multiple disparate client computing platforms responsive to detection of a token associated with a single client computing platform, the system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules:
• a space module configured to implement the instance of the virtual space to determine views of the virtual space, the instance of the virtual space being presented via a plurality of separate and distinct client computing platforms, the plurality of client computing platforms including a first client computing platform;
• a token detection module configured to detect tokens based on signals received from token readers associated with individual ones of the plurality of client computing platforms, a given token being a standalone physical object, the tokens including a first token associated with the first client computing platform, the first token being detectable based on a first signal conveying information associated with the first token, the information associated with the first token conveyed by the first signal being devoid of virtual space content;
• and
• a virtual space modification module configured to effectuate a first modification within the instance of the virtual space responsive to detection of the first token, the first modification being observable via multiple ones of the plurality client computing platforms.
