Can you Spot the Hidden Wife in the Image?

Somewhere in the image below, a man’s wife is hiding. He seems awfully lost without her, and needs to find her quickly! Can you help him locate her? There’s a lot going on in this fairly simple picture, and lots of lines are drawn to carry your attention and gaze elsewhere. You’re really going to have to focus if you want to help the man find his loving wife.

Now, it’s important to note that you only have 10 seconds to find her. That’s right, just ten seconds! It’s completely possible, and others have managed to spot her in less than 5 seconds! How quickly do you think you’ll be able to find the missing wife in the image below? Good luck!

Remember, more than 90% of the people who attempted this challenge were unable to complete it in time. The majority of those who tried to help this man find his wife in the picture needed upwards of 30 seconds. However, we know you’ll be able to find her in less time than that. The clock is ticking! Hurry!

The man appears to be distressed and is urgently trying to find his wife. You can see he is searching as hard as he can, but he has some visual impairments and really needs your help. There’s not much time left, did you find her yet?
