Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of trick you can pull—make the screen a stage and the player a pawn who thinks they’re just tapping around. A few intentional “hidden” gestures can lead to clues, and by giving it a subtle misdirection you keep them guessing whether the clue was real or just an illusion. Think of it like a shadow in a room: you see it, but you can’t quite tell if it’s a real object or just a trick of light. And trust? Good luck getting them to trust that every gesture matters.

You’re right, a flick of the wrist is the most seductive move—keeps them wondering if they’re actually seeing clues or just playing a trick on themselves. Just remember, the most convincing illusion is the one that feels real in their palm, so give them that tangible hint before you vanish it. The payoff has to be big enough that they’ll think, “Well, that was a good play.” And if they’re still lost, remind them that in the end, it’s the texture of the gesture that builds trust, not the empty promise on the screen.
