Interactive videogame using game-related physical objects

A computer-implemented method for a videogame executing on a game device, comprising:

• detecting, by a detection device, a toy within a detection area of the detection device, the detection device coupled to the game device, comprising a flat upper surface for placement of the toys thereon, and configured to read and write information to the toy, said toy comprising a memory storing identification information of the toy and further comprising a first part having a first capacitive touch sensor for receiving a user input;
• receiving, by the videogame executing on the game device, the identification information of the toy and an indication of a first user input received by the first capacitive touch sensor;
• determining, by the videogame executing on the game device, at least one parameter relating to the indication of the first user input received by the first capacitive touch sensor;
• presenting, by the videogame executing on the game device, a virtual representation of the toy, said virtual representation comprising a first virtual part corresponding to the first part of the toy;
• and
• in response to determining the at least one parameter relating to the indication of the first user input received by the first capacitive touch sensor, presenting, by the videogame executing on the game device, a user interface for customizing the virtual representation of the first virtual part.
