Can you spot the mouse in this visual illusion within 12 seconds?

A new brainteaser is putting people’s brain power to the test - if you can solve it and find the tiny mouse hidden in the image within 12 seconds, you’ve got ‘20/20 vision’. This puzzle is a form of visual illusion and a rather challenging one at that - it’s almost impossible to spot the mouse camouflage amongst the mushrooms.

The image - which features a mixture of different coloured mushrooms with a tiny mouse hidden sneakily among them - is designed to challenge cognitive function and visual perception. Neurological experts report that taking time to focus on mental exercise, such as regularly challenging yourself to complete brainteasers, can help to provide a number of cognitive benefits. These benefits could help to reduce your risk of developing neurodivergent diseases, like Alzheimer’s, and protect from dementia.

If you look closely you can just see the top of the mouse's head and ears sticking out above a mushroom

This mushroom-themed brainteaser has been shared to a brainteaser blog with the image offering a more challenging approach to these kinds of visual perception puzzles. This kind of brainteaser requires sustained attention, which helps to train your brain to concentrate for longer periods of time - researchers believe that this kind of mental exercise can also help to boost focus in other areas of your life as well.

Struggling to spot the mouse? It’s not an easy image to find. To make tackling this kind of visual puzzle a little easier, the best thing to do is to break the image down into smaller sections, and then to focus on checking one area at a time. This process, of working through the image in sections, can help to make finding the mouse a little easier to do.

Admittedly, the answer to the puzzle is really well hidden, with the mouse blending in with the mushrooms. But if you look at the left of the picture in the middle, you should be able to spot the mouse’s head and ears sticking out above a mushroom.
