# Local Business

### Local Business Integration in D-Drops: The Taverns Program

#### Transforming Local Businesses into Taverns

D-Drops offers an innovative way for local businesses to engage with the gaming community and potential customers by integrating them directly into the gameplay. By subscribing to D-Drops' Taverns Program, local establishments in participating cities can become a vital part of the game's fabric.

#### Subscription and Benefits

Local businesses that choose to become part of the D-Drops universe are transformed into in-game "taverns"—a nod to the medieval theme of the game—where players, known as hunters, can visit during their quests. These businesses pay a monthly subscription fee to be featured in the game, which places them on the map as a beacon to players in the vicinity.

#### In-Game Interaction and Real-World Perks

Once integrated into the game:

* **Visibility**: Taverns are displayed in the game, attracting hunters to visit the business in pursuit of their next adventure.
* **Special Offers**: Taverns can offer special deals and offers that players can purchase using the in-game currency, Gulden. This currency is earned by players as they embark on quests, engage in treasure hunts, and complete good deeds.

#### The Taverns Experience

* **Thematic Integration**: Taverns are not just points on a map; they are woven into the storyline and quests of D-Drops. They might be a place to gather information, acquire new quests, or even interact with characters that are part of the overarching game narrative.
* **Exclusive Deals**: Deals offered by taverns are designed to be exclusive to D-Drops players, creating a sense of camaraderie and community among those who visit.
* **Gulden Economy**: The use of Gulden for transactions creates a closed-loop economy within the game, encouraging players to frequent taverns and redeem their hard-earned currency.

#### Community and Economic Impact

The integration of local businesses into D-Drops serves a dual purpose: it provides players with a unique, immersive experience while driving foot traffic and revenue to local establishments. It’s a symbiotic relationship that not only boosts the local economy but also enhances social cohesion by connecting players with the heart of their city's commercial community.
