Are you able to find the tricky joker or will you be left scratching your head?
It might seem a bit daunting at first, but the key is to carefully examine each section of the image.
You can choose to begin at the upper left corner of the picture and move downward, or you could opt to take the opposite approach – go with whatever makes you feel more confident!
