How it's used
Focuses on the entertainment value or quirkiness of an experience rather than just general fun. It often implies that something is engaging enough to keep you interested or amused for a while. While similar to 過癮, the latter often carries a stronger sense of satisfaction or thrill, whereas 有癮 is more about finding something interesting or funny.
Examples
This show is quite amusing, it's hilarious.
Do you think this game is fun or not?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with being addicted to something, which is usually expressed as 上癮. While both share the character 癮, 有癮 describes the quality of an activity being enjoyable, while 上癮 describes a person's dependency on a habit or substance.
