At first glance, it looks like an ordinary day at the office, employees typing away, plants breathing life into the corners, and sunshine pouring through the windows. But don’t let the calm setting fool

you. Somewhere within this seemingly normal workspace lies a challenge that’s about to test your visual IQ, 10 cleverly hidden pens that refuse to be found easily.Yes, ten! Some are casually placed where you’d expect them, while others are tucked so sneakily into the background that your eyes might glide past them a dozen times before realizing what’s right there.So, the question is, can you spot all 10 pens in under 5 seconds?Before you scroll down for the reveal, take a deep breath, zoom in if you must, and let your eyes wander across every inch of the office. Look at the desks, the bookshelves, even the plants. Some pens might be camouflaged as part of décor, while others could be blending perfectly with the shadows or computer screens.Still searching? You’re not alone. Optical illusions like this are designed to make your brain process familiar settings while missing small, ordinary objects. That’s because our brains tend to filter out “everyday” details, like pens, in favor of bigger visual cues, such as faces, furniture, or light sources.This makes a task as simple as spotting pens in a regular office scene surprisingly tricky. The more normal the setup looks, the easier it is to overlook the unexpected.Now, if you think you’ve nailed it, it’s time to put your confidence to the test! Scroll to the reveal image, where we’ve circled all 10 pens in red. Whether you found all or missed a few, give yourself credit, even professional puzzle-solvers often take more than 10 seconds to catch them all.
