Inductive/Deductive Reasoning in Popular Games

Mastermind

Mastermind is a bored game that also has an online version. The objective of the game is to try and guess the pattern of colours that the other person (or in this case computer) chose. Once you make a guess, it will then tell you how many are in the right spot, and how many are the right colour. The catch is it doesn’t tell you which ones are right, so you have to use inductive reasoning (looking at previous examples to find the answer. Check and Guess) This game was fun because it is just a simple game but also gets you thinking.
