Abstract: The present subject matter relates to systems and methods for providing enhanced social networking, or other games, that include various profile unlocking techniques and/or bi-directional profile matching. In some examples, a game-like experience may be provided in which an “unveiling” or “unraveling” mechanic is used, e.g. to clarify or unlock one or more blurred user-uploaded photos, or other user-related information, in a mobile social networking, or other, application. In some examples, a game-like experience may be provided in which profile unveiling mechanics are used with a virtual currency in a mobile social networking, or other, application. A questionnaire-based bi-directional profile matchmaking and recommendation algorithm may also be provided for use in a mobile social networking, or other, application.
