A FIENDISHLY tricky brainteaser has left even those with superior observation skills struggling to solve it.

Puzzlers are tasked with spotting a controllers hiding in plain sight among a field of screens.

At first glance, the optical illusion tricks the mind into believing that there isn’t anything lurking in the background.

But everything isn’t as it seems and the illustrator has strategically placed the controller where you would least expect it to be.

And if you can lock eyes on it within 15 seconds, you could have 20/20 vision.

The busy image features a gamer’s bedroom stocked with tech filled equipment.

On one side of the room we can see the bed, a bedside table, some artwork and other miscellaneous items.

On the other, we have the gamer’s setup with a cluster of screens illuminating up the room.

The puzzle features an array of colors and sizes.

For this reason, it could be a tricky task for most quizzers.

If you’re struggling, here’s a clue to help zone in on the elusive item.

It is not on the side of the room you’d expect.

In other words, it is found close to the individual’s bed.

Have another look and see if you can fare a bit better.

How did you do?

Don’t be too hard on yourself if you didn’t find it in time, this is a toughie!

We’ve included the answer below.

Optical illusions make a little bit more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see.

Rather, it is our brains that play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us.

Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world at the quickest pace it can despite the world being in 3D and the images on our retinas being in 2D.

Different colors and light and dark can make the same sized objects look different.

They can also make patterned images look like they’re spinning.
