Only People With ‘Eagle Eyes’ Can Spot The Hidden Car In This Photo Of A Forest
A viral photo making the rounds online is putting internet sleuths to the test — and leaving many absolutely stumped. The challenge? Try to find the concealed car hidden within a thick forest scene that’s left social media users baffled and second-guessing their vision.
The image, which appears deceptively simple at first glance, has been dubbed one of the toughest visual puzzles to surface on Reddit in recent months. Originally posted by user GloriaToo in the “FindTheSniper” subreddit, the photo features what seems like an ordinary forest scene. But somewhere, buried in plain sight, is an old, rust-covered vehicle.

Spotting the camouflaged car is no easy feat. In fact, if you manage to locate it within seconds, some users are suggesting you may have the kind of razor-sharp vision more suited for military reconnaissance than casual scrolling.
“It’s supposed to be ‘easy,’ but I’ve been staring for five minutes and still see nothing but trees,” one frustrated user admitted.
Even with help and clues from other Redditors, many are struggling to locate the elusive object. “I thought I had it at one point, but nope—just another shadow and some branches,” another chimed in.

The poster claimed the challenge was simple, but commenters overwhelmingly disagreed. The car is reportedly rusty, relatively small, and partially obscured—making it a perfect match for its woodland surroundings. One helpful tip? Try zooming in and scanning slightly to the right of the image’s center. That’s where the vehicle is supposedly hiding.
And even after it’s pointed out, many viewers still need a moment—or three—to actually see it.

The image has drawn comparisons to other visual brain teasers that flood social media, where users are tasked with finding hidden animals, people, or objects cleverly disguised within busy environments. Yet this particular challenge stands out as truly next-level.
As the photo continued gaining traction, users began speculating not just about where the car is—but how it got there. One user observed, “Seems like a wildfire swept through this area some years back.” “I wouldn’t be surprised if that truck has bullet holes in it. Every abandoned vehicle in the woods usually does.”
Another viewer added a dark twist: “How did it end up there? Kind of creepy. Feels like there could be a whole crime story behind it.”

Whether you’re a visual puzzle pro or just looking for a quick break from the news cycle, this woodland mystery is giving folks a run for their money—and possibly exposing just how untrained most of us are at spotting what’s hiding in plain sight.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Give it a try. But don’t be surprised if you find yourself staring into the trees… and seeing absolutely nothing.
