Mystery stories feature a protagonist who investigates a crime, problem, puzzle, or some sort of unknown. The protagonist, whether an actual detective or an amateur, often struggles to achieve his or her goals and endures various psychological and physical obstacles, but gradually deduces the solution through facts, logic, and working backward. These stories encourage the reader to actively engage in solving the mystery for themselves and require the reader to pay careful attention to clues, suspects, and evidence presented in order to intellectually satisfy.

Example: Who Killed Bimbo by @Omokehinde_, The Second Path by @HussainaJafiya, The ORION Project by @TheOdoziaku, Leri and The Jewels by @D_Huney.
