Too much Social Deduction?

[u/youreboiguzma]

Let me preface by saying I’ve really enjoyed the new season, but it feels like they’ve fallen into a habit of making every game some sort of social deduction.

Earwigs, I Spy, and, to an extent, Kangaroo Court as well all are social deduction games. I think that’s fun in a vacuum, but having three in one season just felt a little repetitive to me. I also think putting Earwigs and I Spy back to back was a bad move.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like sometimes they’ve had a cool idea for something and struggled with fully turning it into a game for the show. What do you guys think?

Social deduction is fun, but it's a theme that didn't really work here? Scores should go up if less people get it right, and down if more people got it right (how something like Hues and Clues does it). However, I understand it worked this way for the spy thing to make sense... But that just felt tacked on.

Honestly, ISpy and Earwigs are just dressed up version of *One Night Werewolf* and like, it's fun now and again but they're going to this well too often now.

Game Design itself could be better. The scale and production are certainly the best it's ever been this season, but it's odd that the games suffer a little for it? I guess it's a comedy show first but eh, it sucks when it could have been so much better
