The challenge? Find the missing car keys and a flat tire in under 17 seconds.
If so, you probably have excellent eyesight and a sharp mind.
Set in the midst of a busy music festival, the colorful artwork is packed with detail, making the hidden objects difficult to find.
This fun and engaging challenge tests your ability to notice the small details in a busy environment.
Benefits of Brain Teasers and Optical Illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how different brain areas respond to brain teasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.
- Not only are they entertaining, they also shed light on the way our brains interpret visual data.
- By regularly training your brain, you improve your ability to concentrate and perceive details.
- Research has shown that people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see significant improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
- Better concentration and attention span may help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
- Optical illusions can improve vision by helping you see small print better.
Among the sea of festival-goers dancing and enjoying the music, attentive observers are tasked with finding the two hidden objects.
First, the keys are small and unobtrusive.
They fit seamlessly into the lively surroundings.
This makes them very easy to overlook.
Finding them within a short period of time is a real test of your concentration and observation skills.
On the other hand, a flat tire on a parked van near the stage is just as difficult to spot.
The van, parked to the right of the stage, has a front tire that is clearly flat.
But because there is so much activity going on in the scene, your attention can easily be distracted.
This optical illusion has confused many viewers.
If you managed to find both the car keys and the flat tire within the time limit, congratulations!
You can call yourself a master of observation!
But if you weren’t able to spot the objects in all the madness, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
These things are easily overlooked when you’re in the middle of the vibrant festival atmosphere.
The flat tire is circled on the yellow car on the right side of the stage, right next to the speaker.
However, the keys are located at the bottom left, near the yellow tent, almost camouflaged against the green grass.

The Science Behind Optical Illusions
This short explanation may help you organize your thoughts…
- Optical illusions make a lot more sense when you realize that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and that our brains play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us.
- Our brains are constantly trying to understand the world as quickly as possible, even though the world is in 3D and the images on our retina are in 2D.
- It can be very difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once, so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you are seeing so you can react faster if the object you are looking at looks dangerous.
- When you look at an object, you are actually seeing the light that bounces off of it and enters your eye. This light is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then converts into an image.
- Our brains can distort straight lines if an object in the middle of it appears to be getting closer, because it wants to emphasize the potential threat
- Different colors and light and dark can make objects of the same size look different or images with patterns look like they are spinning
