Roulette, bingo and slots are among the variety of games offered by UK-based online casino MrQ.
They were inspired to create the seek-and-find puzzle after research revealed that many people are fascinated by conspiracy theories.
The possibility that we are not the only humans in space has led to beliefs such as aliens being hidden from the public and Area 51 being an ET base
With so many people flocking to festivals and beaches this summer, how easy would it be to spot an alien among us?
You’ll need X-ray vision to find the alien in MrQ’s devious brainiac in less than nine seconds.
The same group of people is shown repeatedly throughout the artwork, dressed in bright colors and standing in different positions.
One woman faces away from the puzzler with her hands on her hips, while a man scratching his head also stands out in his light green shirt.
Without knowing what color the alien was, you were easily hypnotized by the crowd.
So here’s a hint: the alien is dark green.
Did you find it?
The creature holds two fingers up and has two bulging black eyes.
Everyone sees a herd of zebras – but you have a high IQ and 20/20 vision if you can spot a badger hiding in 10 seconds
