If you’re looking for some summer fun, this colorful brainteaser might be exactly what you need. Illustrator Gergely Dudás, better known as Dudolf, is back with another playful visual puzzle—and if this heat wave has you reaching for your favorite ice cream treats, then this brainteaser will be your greatest temptation.
The challenge sounds simple at first: find three empty ice cream cones hidden among a crowd of delicious-looking treats. Take a look at the image! At first glance, you can see adorable penguins enjoying themselves among a cheerful sea of ice cream cones topped with scoops in different colors and patterns. But if you’ve ever tried one of Dudolf’s seek-and-find puzzles before, you already know it’s never quite that easy.
Somewhere in the mix are three cones with no ice cream at all. That tiny difference is what makes the puzzle so sneaky. Your eyes quickly get used to the repeating shapes, which makes the empty cones much harder to spot than you might expect. But like always, you can time yourself to see how long it takes you. (Oh, and definitely prepare for a wave of ice cream cravings. 😂)
Need a hint? Sure thing! Remember, there are three empty cones that you're looking for. They're all pretty scattered from one another. So, to lead you toward one of them, you can look on the bottom left corner of the image.
That one was probably the easiest of the delicious bunch. For those who need another hint, the second cone can be found more toward the middle left of the screen...in between a yellow and pink cone. No need to scream for ice cream as you take some more time. 😆
Okay, you might have found those two by now. The third one, however, is the trickiest of them all. So, to help you out a bit, it's worth noting that this one can be found near the top right of the image. Though, it's pretty small and somewhat hidden in comparison to the others.
Take a few moments to really have a look…but hurry before it melts!
(Cue the ice cream parlor music.)
