Mark Brooks: In theory, adding games to dating sites is a great idea. It gives prospective daters something to do that is fun and can give them more insight on each others character. In fact, however, I've not seen a sizable site introduce games successfully yet. That's a shame really. Your comments please...
I agree in general that offering "games" can be effective on many levels. However, my research in this area has convinced me that not any ole' game will do. Certain ones will help and other will hurt building a community or at least rapport between people. Can't reveal more, as it's proprietary but the point is that there are people who've thought about this!
