The spooky image from U4GM shows several holiday festivities, including pumpkins, ghosts and a witch against an orange moon.
Vibrant oranges in contrast with the background make the coffin difficult to spot.
Networks spread over various parts of the cryptic image make it even more difficult, taking up a large amount of space.
The faces on the pumpkins can also distract from finding the coffin.

It may sound difficult, but the key is to forgo placing pumpkins, which make up most of the shapes on the teaser.

So jump on your broom because the clock is ticking!
How do illusions work?
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a good workout and can “boost your brain activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia”.
And according to ZenBusiness: “These visual puzzles can provide you with good mental exercise, which in turn can help you think more effectively and solve problems more easily.”
This challenge tests more than your IQ – finding the hidden girl shows great attention to detail and your eyesight.
People who can solve a puzzle quickly have good observation skills and high cognitive speed.
It tests your ability to process large amounts of visual information and your ability to concentrate under high pressure.
Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
Did you solve it? Don’t worry, if you’re still struggling, we’ve included a blood-curdling puzzle solution below.
