[pusskin]

[funnygirl]

I remember these from years ago. No matter how long I stared nothing materializes.

[ethandron]

i used to be able to see the hidden image but i can't do any of these.

[Juicyfruity]

Ethandron does it work on the computer as I can remember the posters being covered in laminate which may have made the image easier to see, but im not sure.

[ethandron]

i think maybe the computer does have something to do with it although the instructions say it's possible.

[Juicyfruity]

Right let me give it another go

[sophie_1003]

Love those, can't see them on the computer though!

[sophie_1003]

Ah, think it was just the first one I looked at, could see the first one on the Google search juicyfruity posted! Glad I'm on my own though as have to put my nose right by the screen then move back v slowly; look a right numpty!

[Juicyfruity]

No its not working for me, as sophie said its easier to see on paper also the images on the computer are too small.

[oldexpat]

I can do them very quickly and can tell you that they do indeed work on a computer.

[ethandron]

yay, i've done 3 now. i find the ones with very small designs works easiest for me.
