The present technology is directed to flexible platform architecture for either providing or facilitating video gaming applications. In some implementations, the flexible platform architecture provides a fluid and continuous visual experience for players across different platform types (platform agnostic) that are integrated and engage users at different levels. Each of the players experiences a unique and different visual experience, depending upon the particular gaming platform and/or user interface utilized by a player. The flexible platform architecture has user interfaces that are configured to provide different experiences for different players, including for example, a three-dimensional or a two-dimensional user experience. The platform architecture may facilitate access to video gaming applications via distinct user interfaces, including 1) via social networks or online social networking services, including via wall posts or by enabling users to send and read text-based posts, 3) via mobile devices, and 4) via game consoles.
