But, all you need to succeed is attention to detail, patience, and a high IQ.

So, set your timer and see how quickly you can find all five guards with triangles on their masks.

The creators of this puzzle at Nsoft have not made it easy for you.

With so many guards in such a small space all with the same colour uniform on, it is hard to focus on their masks.

What makes it even trickier is that they all have a range of shapes on the black face masks that distract your eyes.

This is what seek and find puzzles such as this rely on - distraction.

So, to give yourself the best chance, make sure you stay focused on the task at hand.

If you are struggling, here is a tip that will come in handy.

It is much easier to focus on what you are looking for if you make your search area smaller.

This way you are more likely to spot the smaller details and spot what you are looking for.

Only one in eight can spot the hidden hockey player in this festive brainteaser - can YOU in less than 30 seconds?

Usually, you should try dividing the puzzle into smaller sections like quarters but there is something different you can do here.

As all of the guards are neatly in rows, why not take it row by row, searching each one for guards with triangles on their masks.

For an extra clue, while some have no triangles in at all, none of the rows have more than one.

So as soon as you spot one guard you can move down or up to the next row until you find all five.
