Optical illusion: Can you find 5 hidden utensils in the office in under 14 seconds

Here’s a fun challenge that will tickle your brain and test how sharp your eyes really are!


Imagine this: You’re looking at a regular office scene. There’s a desk, a laptop, a few files, maybe even a potted plant in the corner. Everything seems normal… until you realise there are five kitchen utensils hidden somewhere in the picture. A spoon? Maybe a fork? Who knows! The question is — can you spot all five in under 14 seconds?


Sounds easy? Trust us, it’s trickier than it looks!



What makes this optical illusion interesting is the clever way the utensils are blended into everyday office items. For example, a spoon might be hidden as a pen. A whisk could be hidden in the design of a chair leg. Your brain is wired to see what it expects — and in an office, your brain expects... well, office stuff. So when kitchen items pop up, your brain might just ignore them!


This challenge forces your mind to think beyond its comfort zone and pick up on the unexpected.


Before you scroll down to see the solution, take a few deep breaths, focus, and start the timer. You’ve got 14 seconds to find all 5 hidden utensils in the image.


(Hint: Don’t just focus on the desk — check the background, the shelf, even the shadows!)


If you managed to find all five within 14 seconds, give yourself a pat on the back — your observation skills are on point! If not, no worries. These illusions are designed to trick the brain, and even the best of us get fooled sometimes.


Here’s where they were hiding:


Surprised? It's amazing how our brain fills in the blanks and overlooks what's right in front of us.




These puzzles are more than just fun — they’re actually good for your brain. Studies show that optical illusions can improve:

• Visual memory
• Focus and attention
• Problem-solving skills
• Mental flexibility
• They’re like a mini workout for your brain — without breaking a sweat!
