Abstract

A non-transitory computer readable medium including program instructions, a method of controlling a game, and an information processing device make a game more amusing. When executed, the program instructions cause the information processing device to store information related to objects and information related to game contents in a storage, associate positioning information in a virtual space with each object, associate positioning information with the game contents, cause the objects and the game contents to be displayed at the position indicated by the positioning information associated with each of the objects and the game contents, change the positioning information associated with an object and the positioning information associated with each game content associated with the object, determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied, and finalize the positioning information associated with the objects and the positioning information associated with the game contents when the predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied.
