For a long time, people have been puzzled by an online game where the challenge is to find a car hidden within a woodland photo.
If you manage to spot the car on your first try, you might consider a career change to the armed forces, as it suggests you have keen observational skills.
Social media users frequently engage in games that challenge them to locate something not immediately obvious in an image—be it an item, an animal, or a person. This time, however, the task is to find a car.
It’s quite the challenge. If you do manage to locate it, you might possess what’s termed as ‘sniper vision’—the ability to discern details in complex settings.
This image, shared on Reddit a few months ago, depicts a woodland scene with a rusty car concealed somewhere within.
See if you can find it.
Even with numerous hints, many people struggle to spot the car within a minute of searching the image. Reddit users expressed similar challenges, with several admitting they couldn’t see the vehicle despite the original poster identifying its location.
The photo was uploaded to the FindTheSniper Reddit group by user GloriaToo, who claimed the task was ‘easy’.
If this is considered easy, the harder challenges must require hours of careful scrutiny to uncover hidden details.
I approached it thinking it would be straightforward but was quickly confounded, finding myself examining only trees.
Still can’t spot the car? Don’t worry, here’s a hint: it’s small, rusty, and may be easier to see if you zoom in.
No success yet? The car is positioned slightly to the right of the center.
Commenters on the post shared their thoughts and speculated about the car’s mysterious presence.
One user remarked: “Great photo! Looks like a fire swept through here a few years back. I bet the truck has at least a few bullet holes in it. Every one of these I’ve seen close was pretty well shot up.”
Another added: “Dang. I wonder how it got there and if there’s a body in it. I might watch too much true crime.”
A third said: “That was a challenge, good photo!”
Someone else noted: “The trees are much bigger than I realized,”
