Matchmaking

'Playing cupid is a non-violent way to eliminate a rival in Yandere Simulator''. This elimination method has not been implemented yet.'''

According to the February FAQ, YandereDev has written a document detailing how matchmaking would work. He could implement it at any time, and it will only take two weeks, but he would like to implement more important features first.

Gameplay
Each rival will have a crush other than Senpai, so the player is able to matchmake every single rival with a male suitor. When they have been eliminated peacefully, all normal NPC interactions become available for the rivals afterwards. However, the substitute teacher and the substitute nurse will disappear from the game when their week ends even if they are eliminated non-lethally.

On the scheme menu, the description is, "This scheme will end with your rival falling in love with another student".

In the future, Yandere-chan will have to stalk her current rival and find out who the suitor is. The player will then have to perform a task for the rival and the suitor, becoming their friends. After both become her friend, Yandere-chan will have to ask them to "Go Away" so they will go to the same place at the same time and have a bashful conversation.

Once the conversation is over, on the task wheel, the option "Matchmake" will appear. If the player presses the "Matchmake" option, the suitor will confess that he has a crush on the rival and wants to do something nice for her.

The next step is to steal an object from the rival and give it to the suitor via the "Matchmake" option. He will bring it to the rival. Yandere-chan then will have to use the "Matchmake" option with the rival. The rival will confess that she likes two different boys but she doesn't know who to choose.

Yandere-chan will then have to take a picture of Senpai speaking to another girl, and then show it to the rival, who will then become discouraged from speaking to Senpai. If the player "Matchmakes" to the suitor, he will then say how he doesn't know how to make a love confession. If the player's Psychology or Seduction stats are high enough, Yandere-chan can give him advice of how to make a confession to the rival. After all the steps, the suitor will confess to the rival and she will be peacefully eliminated.

Matchmaking Two NPCs
If it is possible to matchmake two NPCs, the process will be much simpler. The player will still have to perform tasks to be their friend. The "Matchmake" option will appear in the task wheel and then she will have to say to both students, "I think you and her/him would make a good pair". After that, Yandere-chan will have to use the "Go Away" option so that they will interact with each other. Their "Affection" will be at 33% after this.

To make them interact again, Yandere-chan will have to go on social media and find what the female NPC likes and dislikes. She will then have to tell the male NPC the information and make them interact again. Their "Affection" will be at 66%. She must repeat the same process once more, which will make the "Affection" at 100%. If her Psychology or Seduction stats are high enough, she can give advice to one of the NPCs, which will allow them to perform a love confession.

Trivia

 * If rivals are repeatedly matched with suitors, Senpai will assume that he is not as appealing as other boys are and that no girl will ever love him.
 * In the future, the substitute teacher rival will be paired up with another student. The substitute nurse may also be paired up with a faculty member.
 * If the player chooses a female Senpai, the rivals will still remain female and the suitors will remain male.
 * Matchmaking was meant to be the last elimination method added in 2015, but the deadline was unable to be reached. YandereDev hoped to implement matchmaking by early 2016. However, Matchmaking will be implemented in mid to late 2016 instead.
 * If Yandere-chan kills a rival's suitor after they have been paired, the rival will be too sad to pursue another person.
 * Matchmaking will not raise reputation because it is meant to be done from the shadows.
