A first wireless device comprising:

• a communication module configured to detect a wireless signal from a target device;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine a radial proximity of the first wireless devices to the target device based on a strength of the wireless signal;
• and
• execute a program, wherein the program
• allows a user of the first wireless device to play a game with a second wireless device;
• generates a pictorial representation of the game on the first wireless device and the second wireless device according to data exchanged between the first wireless device and the second wireless device during the game;
• and
• alters the pictorial representation of the game on the first wireless device and the second wireless device based on (i) the data exchanged between the first wireless device and the second wireless device during the game, and (ii) the radial proximity of the first wireless device to the target device,
• wherein the processor is configured to calculate a distance of the first wireless device from the target device based on the strength of the wireless signal, and
• wherein the communication module is configured to transmit the distance to the second wireless device.
