The home picture contains the usual things you would expect, such as a couch, a dining table, and even some fake slippers on the floor.
But what makes this teaser unique is the bizarre black and white portal on the wall.
The portal, in contrast to the less crazy patterns of the rest of the room, makes it difficult to focus on finding the key.
Even more difficult is the variety of contrasting colors, from pink on the chairs to bright orange on the sofas.

It may sound difficult, but the key to finding this key is to look in the most obvious places, which means maybe not in a giant portal.
Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a good workout and can “boost your brain activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia”.
If you want to train your brain to find lost items in your real living room, this teaser should be right up your alley.
So get going because the clock is ticking!
