Reddit Camouflage Illusions Fuel New Timed ‘Find-It’ Posts From Major Outlets

Newsrooms recycle Reddit camouflage puzzles with timers to frame quick tests of perception.

Can you spot the snake?
Can you spot all the lizards?
Can you spot the frog?
The optical illusion showed greenery where a snake was camouflaged, puzzling many.

Overview

  • Hindustan Times on Aug. 20 featured a 10‑second grasshopper challenge from r/FindTheSniper user D_hallucatus, later pinpointing the insect on the tree trunk above a metal fitting near the center.
  • Mint highlighted a fresh Reddit post by u/Technical_Duty_1618 showing a frog hidden near a cardboard box on a grassy patch, relaying community hints and revealing it just left of the box flap beneath the third board.
  • Mint also ran a cemetery photo from user green_pachi, asking readers to find a camouflaged cat before disclosing it at the base of a statue marked “Palmieri.”
  • Hindustan Times added a tree‑trunk puzzle centered on a moth that blends with the bark, ultimately locating it on the lower half of the trunk slightly left of center.
  • The continuing series repeats a standard playbook—short countdowns, subreddit attribution, precise answer reveals, and eye‑catching difficulty lines like “only 1 in 20” or “1%,” alongside earlier posts on parrot, snake, lizard, and multi‑frog scenes.
