The ghoulish teaser shows a classic party scene with the several guests clearly engaged in some riveting conversation.

However, their mouths are closed so maybe they are just staring at each other at this party.

What makes this Halloween-themed teaser challenging is the contrasting colours there to draw your attention.

The vibrant pinks, yellows and blues all create an eye-catching brainteaser that is deliberately busy.

It may sound tough, but the key is to focus on the surroundings of the room the haunted party guests are in.

Are you ready to party, because the ghost is lurking, and the clock is ticking!

If you're struggling, a hint would be to look down at the floor, even though it's bad party manners.

This optical illusion tests more than just your speed - it also tests your IQ level.

People who are able to solve the puzzle quickly possess good observational skills and high cognitive speed.

It tests your ability to process a high volume of visual information and the ability to concentrate under high amounts of pressure. 

Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.

Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may "boost your brain's activity" which "reduces the risk of dementia." 

These can help to stimulate several parts of the brain at the same time.

Tasks like this can also provide people with a productive way to have fun and relax.
