receiving, by a first device of a plurality of devices, a check-in request from a user device, wherein the plurality of devices does not include the user device;
in response to receiving the check-in request from the user device, transmitting, by the first device, the check-in request to a server device;
receiving, by the first device from the server device, a device identifier corresponding to the user device;
transmitting, by the first device to the user device, the device identifier;
disconnecting, after the device identifier has been transmitted to the user device, the user device from the first device;
detecting, by a second device of the plurality of devices after the user device has been disconnected from the first device, a first electronic message from the user device, wherein the first electronic message includes the device identifier; and
based on detecting the first electronic message, providing digital content to the user device, wherein the digital content is provided to the user device via at least one of the plurality of devices.
