Logic & Reasoning

VerdictForge

Ages 10–13 · Gr 5–8 Level 3

A bike goes missing and someone stands accused — but before anyone argues, one question decides everything: who has to prove it? A trial is a machine for deciding how much evidence is enough, and its moves are rules you can reason to. Who carries the burden? Is “my neighbour told me” allowed, or is it hearsay? Do three ordinary clues add up to a reasonable doubt? Predict the ruling, then weigh a case yourself. Real, tiny, deterministic reasoning — no internet. Ages 9–14.
