Deduction games are all about figuring things out before everyone else does. You gather clues, test theories, and hope your logic holds up when it counts. Some have you chasing a hidden opponent, while others are more about reading patterns or people. It can be tense, frustrating, but oddly satisfying when that final guess lands and everything suddenly makes sense.
Some examples of deduction games are LUZ, Little Alchemists and Bomb Busters.
