Optical illusion: Only people with Hawk eyes can spot the 2 hidden faces in 7 seconds

Optical illusions aren’t just fun to look at—they’re a fantastic way to challenge your brain. These tricky images are often used as part of an IQ test, as they force your mind to think differently and spot hidden details.

One such brain teaser is making waves online. At first glance, the image appears to show nothing more than an eaten apple. But here’s the twist—two hidden faces are cleverly concealed within the picture.


The image was originally posted on social media by a user named Marina Winberg. It’s now become a viral challenge, with thousands trying to find the faces within just 7 seconds. Sounds easy, right? But only those with truly sharp eyesight—like a hawk—are able to spot both faces straightaway.

Take a moment and really focus. Can you spot them?


These types of visual puzzles are more than just internet fun. Studies suggest that solving such optical illusions can help improve memory, increase attention to detail, and enhance visual thinking. That’s why they’re often used in intelligence assessments.

Those who can locate the hidden faces in a matter of seconds often show signs of above-average IQ and excellent observation skills.

So, if you’ve cracked it already—well done! You may just have a brilliant, analytical mind.


Struggling to spot the hidden details? Don’t feel bad—this brain teaser is designed to be tough. Here's a small clue: look closely at the edges of the apple and around the core. The human brain sometimes needs a second or third glance before the answer becomes obvious.



If you're still unsure, take a look at the answer below. The two faces are subtly blended into the curves and shadows of the apple’s remains.

Got it now? Brilliant! If not, no worries—these puzzles are meant to train your brain, not trick it.


Why keep the fun to yourself? SHARE this optical illusion with your friends and family. Challenge them to find the hidden faces in under 7 seconds—some might even do it in 8!

Put your skills to the test and see who’s got the sharpest eyes. It’s the perfect mini IQ test for any curious mind.
