People love mystery because it feels like a game. Imagine you're solving a puzzle, every clue is like a hint that helps you get closer to the answer. It's exciting, and when you finally figure it out, you feel proud. That’s why stories with secrets make us happy.
Examples
- You’re reading a detective story and try to guess who did it before the character does.
- A movie has a twist you didn’t see coming, it makes you feel smart for figuring it out later.
- Your friend tells you a riddle, and you spend the whole day thinking about it.
