Self-study
🎮 We just released two new games! Head over to https://7sage.com/games to check them out.
Expecto Negation — Build the exact negation of each enemy statement before it reaches your castle.
Logic Links — Sort 16 statements into 4 groups that secretly say the same conditional.
These join the four already in the lineup:
Logic Blitz — Judge whether an argument is valid. Practice your conditional and quantifier logic.
Flaw Hunter — Match the two arguments that commit the same logical flaw.
Argument ER — Diagnose the missing link in a conditional argument, then supply the assumption that makes it valid.
Numbers Blitz — Decide whether the numbers support the conclusion. No math involved.
💬 We welcome feedback on any of them! Just mention the game by name so we know which one you mean.

Is there maybe a chance that we could have a speed diagramming game? I've been loving the games!
@haena Logic Blitz kind of does this, but includes evaluating argument validity. It sounds like you're looking for something narrower/different? Maybe purely about translating "only" "the only" "unless" etc. into [sufficient] --> [necessary]?
@Kevin_Lin Yes! And also long conditional chains with embedded conditions, quantifiers, double negatives, uncommon indicator words! I think it would be particularly helpful for parallel questions and other instances that require speedy diagramming! I agree that the other games are great for valid/invalid conclusions, but I’m thinking of just the diagramming part!
Is there any data on how this affects test scores?
There are people with huge Duolingo streaks that can’t speak their studied language.
I’m worried about reinforcing bad habits.
oooo wait games that's so fun
This is the best thing ever! I wish I saw this sooner. They are so fun.
@Kb092100 I believe they just released this
I hope you're paying your Web Devs well, they've been cranking out so many good updates!
Love Logic Links. Would love to see a harder version where beyond the same conditionals, we can match things based on the same argument structure or the same flaw, to get better at the parallel reasoning / parallel flaw structure.
I've only tried the surgical ER one and it's amazing... but why is the question pool so tiny? I think started to get repeat questions by my second or third round at it
Thank you very much for these games. Instead of the keybinds being A and L, could it be A and D? It would make it easier to play with one hand.
@MaxB917 Noted. (For now I think you can use left and right arrows on Logic Blitz and Numbers Blitz)
@Kevin_Lin Thank you for your reply. The left and right arrows are great too, but I'm a lefty!
Great work on these games, helpful to do while im working my 9-5
haven't tried the new ones yet, but the first four have been so fun!
Keep them coming I’ve been playing the games all day
Thanks for making this! For those games where it is applicable (logic blitz, for example) maybe you could make a leaderboard. I think that would be fun.
i guess i'm a gamer now haha. For Argument ER - I've played it several times over the last few days and have gotten A LOT of repeat "patients" and I'm wondering if there's any kind of generator schedule or timing in place that will keep new questions coming in? Should I just chill on practicing with this game and check back in a few weeks?
Oooo yes – I'm playing the Logic Link one right now - "A fresh puzzle every day. The daily puzzle is the same for everyone and gets harder as the week goes on—Monday is gentle, Sunday is brutal. Share your grid to compare with your study group, or open the archive to play any past day. Want a tough one? Grab a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday." – it'd be lit to have this for the other games too! A more communal experience! Like Wordle
the games are a game changer for me! Love them!
I love the games and have been using them often!
For feedback, I wish there was an option to pause the game (for example pause the game for a couple minutes and then resume afterwards) because sometimes I get interrupted and then have to start the game from the beginning which causes me to start back at level 1 and repeat a lot questions so having the feature/ability to pause would help a lot. Thanks!
I think it's an excellent move to add these. Every LR question that we do depends on at least some of the underlying skills that these games are based on, and for that reason they seem to me like a promising way to systematically train these skills in isolation, which is something that you, I believe, cannot do as efficiently by just reviewing LR questions themselves. Also, they seem like an excellent way to warm up before doing sections, drills, or even PTs, without using actual LSAT questions. Overall, I feel like this is a very strong use of gamification for learning purposes!
For feedback,
when it comes to LOGIC BLITZ, it would be great if all of the conditional statements were included (I didn't see a lot of "unless", "until", "cannot", "not both", etc). That would make it better for translation skill building. When it comes to LOGIC LINKS, I think it's too easy, even at the hardest difficulty, so perhaps making it more challenging would be great.
@Stannis agreed! I had a similar note with Flaw Hunter - when there's a clean match it makes the final set way too easy because the last items standing clearly all go together. It'd be cool to see some non-flawed statements thrown in (for Flaw Hunter), or some additional challenge squares, or an odd number of squares or something for Logic Links.
Really enjoying these skill building games. Being able to systematically train these skills without burning through practice questions has been a game changer!
yay!
thanks for adding these! can u make it so that our analytics on the ones we got wrong are available for us to look at later? they can disappear pretty quickly and sometimes i’m not able to get a screenshot of them
Hello @KevinLin'sOldUserName. I am trying to find a link that was posted but am unable to. It was regarding flaws. It was a new (recent) post by either you or David Busis posted that contained links to review, similar to the Fast Track. Is it possible for you to send? Thanks.
@lnewbold89 Are you referring to this list of flaws? https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/flaw-or-descriptive-weakening-questions/argument-flaw-cheat-sheet
