This is achieved by exploring all possible 4-variable Boolean functions to identify those that yield a game scenario with a quantum advantage using a specific entangled state. Notably, two new four-player quantum games are presented. In one game, the optimal quantum strategy is achieved when players share a\n \n \n $$\\vert {GHZ_4} \\rangle =\\dfrac{1}{\\sqrt{2}}(\\vert {0000} \\rangle +\\vert {1111} \\rangle )$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n \n |<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n H<\/mml:mi>\n \n Z<\/mml:mi>\n 4<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n \u27e9<\/mml:mo>\n =<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n \n 1<\/mml:mn>\n \n 2<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:msqrt>\n <\/mml:mfrac>\n <\/mml:mstyle>\n \n (<\/mml:mo>\n |<\/mml:mo>\n 0000<\/mml:mn>\n \u27e9<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n +<\/mml:mo>\n \n |<\/mml:mo>\n 1111<\/mml:mn>\n \u27e9<\/mml:mo>\n )<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:alternatives>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n state, breaking the traditional 10% gain observed in 2- and 3-qubit CHSH games and achieving a 22.5% gap.
