Werewolves develops critical thinking skills as follows: 

• Communication

Clear and convincing communication is essential in Werewolves. Players must both listen to others and speak convincingly themselves to defend their own point of view or cast doubt on others. During the game, accusations are often made, and you need to be able to properly support your own arguments to convince others that you are right. This reinforces skills in debate, argumentation and public speaking.

• Critical and strategic thinking

Players must constantly analyse who might be a werewolf and why. They must think logically and evaluate suspicious behaviour or statements, while also seeing through deceptions and bluffs. This requires the ability to recognize patterns, test   assumptions and make strategic choices based on limited information. This encourages critical thinking and the ability to make decisions under pressure.

• Problem-solving ability

Werewolves offer a constantly changing scenario, in which players must constantly try to gather new information and solve problems, such as identifying the werewolves without eliminating too many innocent villagers. This helps players think solution-oriented and find creative ways to tackle complex problems.

• Decision-making

Making decisions is crucial in Werewolves. Whether it’s voting someone out of the game or choosing who you trust, every choice has consequences. It is important to decide quickly based on incomplete information, which promotes decision-making skills. In addition, players must defend their choices, which helps them develop assertiveness.
