This resource outlines a strategy game called "Deduce the Imposter," designed to enhance students' skills in logical deduction and collaborative clue-giving. The game revolves around identifying an imposter among participants who must guess a secret word without knowing what it is, while the others provide hints.

Through discussions and voting, they engage in logical analysis and strategic communication. The document includes setup procedures, suggested secret words across various categories, reflective debrief prompts for post-game analysis, and a challenge extension for deeper engagement.
