Are there any other games we can think of where a player could cheat with unrevealed face down cards?
How do those games deal with it?

I can't think of an LCG/CCG with a similar hidden card mechanic where verification would matter.
Vampire The Eternal Struggle has facedown uncontrolled minions where you control them by placing pool (i.e.: life points) on them, and you control them once you hit their control threshold. I guess you could have a minion with a control limit of 3 and place 4 counters on it as a bluff...? But I feel like I'm stretching here.
Actually there are numerous ways in VtES that one could cheat based on face-down cards. Quite a few cards in the game interact with the facedown uncontrolled minions, and many of them have restrictions (the uncontrolled minion has to be younger, or the same clan, than an acting minion, etc).
There are no rules for post-game validation that everything was played correctly. In a tournament setting it's perfectly valid to ask a judge to check the legality of such a play, either mid-game or post-game, but it's not likely to happen unless the other players have strong suspicions or are trying to be jerks.
