📝 Abstract
Despite recent advances in large language models (LLMs), performing logically consistent deductive reasoning over extended interactions remains challenging. Tasks that require integrating evidence across multiple reasoning steps, maintaining consistency with prior inferences, and updating beliefs under new constraints can surface limitations in current models while providing a useful testbed for evaluating reasoning enhancements. In this paper, we implement a text-based, multi-agent version of the classic board game Clue as an environment to evaluate multi-step, agentic deductive reasoning. In this setting, agents must infer hidden information from a sequence of observations, maintain consistency across turns, and reason over an evolving set of logical constraints. We instantiate six LLM-based agents (GPT-4o-mini and Gemini-2.5-Flash) as players that engage in turn-based gameplay; using three agents per model family, we establish baseline performance across repeated games. We then introduce a tool-augmented approach in which a structured possibility matrix converts implicit game state from generated reasoning logs into an explicit representation of remaining possibilities. The possibility matrix encodes extended-turn memory and deductive constraints, offloading these tasks from the agent. We compare this approach against the baseline to evaluate how tool augmentation supports reasoning quality and task success for autonomous agents in a strategic reasoning environment.
