Game Types and Setups

Exploring Different Game Structures

Understanding the main types of logic games is key to mastering this section. Each has its own quirks and challenges!

Sequencing Games

These games ask you to arrange items in a particular order. You’ll use clues to determine who comes first, last, or in between.

Grouping Games

Here, you sort items into groups, teams, or categories. The rules often restrict who can or cannot be together.

Matching Games

These involve assigning attributes to items, like pairing people with their favorite colors.

Hybrid Games

Sometimes, a game combines two or more types, such as grouping and sequencing.

Setting Up Your Diagram

Drawing a clear, organized diagram is the foundation for success in any logic game. Use symbols, charts, or tables to visualize the scenario and rules.

  • Identify the type of game.
  • Choose a diagram that fits (timeline, table, groups, etc).
  • Mark fixed positions or relationships immediately.

Examples

  • Using a horizontal line to map out the order of six runners in a race.

  • Drawing columns for three groups to sort eight people based on club membership.

In a Nutshell

Recognizing the game type and setting up your diagram helps you crack the code.
