People need 'sniper vision' to spot hidden animal in spooky Halloween brainteaser

The spooky season is creeping up slowly with Halloween at the end of this month. While some Brits are eager for the biggest scarefest of their lives, others prefer to unwind with a brainteaser or two. So which do you prefer?

If you're into mind-bending puzzles then we have just the perfect kind for you this October. In the 'Find My Sniper' forum which boasts 795,000 members on Reddit, players have been set the task of finding a pigeon lurking somewhere among the ghosts, pumpkins and sweets. Ready for the challenge? You can get started and let us know how well you do in the comments below!

The caption read: " Find the pigeon," as the post claimed the difficulty of the brainteaser was a medium.

Now your task is simple, find the pigeon and if you like a challenge, stick a timer on and get to work. Since the post was shared, it racked up nearly 900 likes and dozens of comments.

One said: "Don't know why I panicked wondering what pigeon looked like for a second." Another pointed out: "I mean I don't think it looks like a pigeon, but I see a bird shape."

A third commented: "Not impressed." Then a fourth commented: "What a weird thing. That's not even a pigeon. It's a lollipop with a beak."

Others pointed out the pigeon is from the book 'Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus'.

So are you wondering where the pigeon is?

If you didn't manage to find it without us revealing the answer, then you need to focus around the bottom left of the image.

It's quite obvious where the pigeon is as the eyes are different to the lollipops, pumpkins and ghosts. Are you looking for another brainteaser?

In another, only those with 'super vision' can spot a deer hiding in the forest in 10 seconds. Or you can try to find the tortoise hidden among the long grass in this puzzle.

Brainteasers are designed to stimulate cognitive processes such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and lateral thinking. They often require creative and unconventional approaches to arrive at the correct solution.

They come in various forms, including riddles, logic puzzles, maths problems, and word games.

While puzzles can be a fun way to challenge and entertain the mind, they are often used in educational settings or as recreational activities.

Also they may vary in difficulty, ranging from simple puzzles that can be solved quickly to more complex ones that may require deeper thought.
