How many of you have played 7th Guest? If you are of younger age, you might have missed it, but to share some knowledge, 7th Guest was the first PC game that was released only on CD-ROM. It was an awesome and spooky adventure game, where you had to solve logical puzzles to get out of the haunted castle. It’s sequel was called 11th and received even greater spotlight. Not to make too many digressions, I mentioned all of this just because it inspired me to compose the title for this interesting optical illusion. I believe the photo has been altered in photoshop, but what the heck – it still makes a great illusion. If I told you there are 6 persons present in the photo below, you might think I have finally lost it. Well think again!

    Yea, definately photoshoped.
    The nose, mouth, and chin almost look on top of the cliff. It looks quite fake to me, considering i hike a lot

    Still pretty cool

    This is a cool illusion…I love them all..I usaully can pick things out of pictures that are not normally there

  9. Zade says:

    there’s something else weird going on here. the head with the white hat seems to be attached to two bodies–one with a blue shirt and red shorts, and another with a yellow shirt and navy shorts. am i crazy?

    There are actually seven people. the five noticable, the cliff, and the person taking the picture

    Obvious photoshop

  13. =P says:

    i agree with zade. there are actually six real people (or seven including the photographer, but they could have just used a tripod to take the picture) and the other person on the cliff.

    very cool!

    I LOVE 7th guest and 11th Hour. I can’t find them for my computer any more.

    This is an interesting picture, but once you look at it, there is no way NOT to see the face.

  19. Boogstachie says:

    That is totally sweet!!! I stopped it right away, but I realized it was on the wrong side of the face!!!! Silly me!!!

    That was insane, i was convinced it had something do with extra shadows or something, and when i saw it, i was like WHOA! and now its the first thing my eye draws itself to…odd….

  24. Harrie says:

    The game was called ‘The 11th Hour’, not the 11th. :)

  25. rhianmunks says:

    I saw it straight away. definitely photoshopped. If you look closely, the person with the white hat has two bodies:)

  26. Anonymous says:

    i saw it in 0.004 milliseconds

  27. Ro says:

    It was the 11th ‘Hour’, and yes 7th Guest and 11th Hour were grizzly (for their time) but highly playable. Thanks for reminding me about them. I just need a Myst revival and I’ll be all nostalgiad out! X

  28. Dang says:

    I usually spend at least 15 minutes scratching my head at these illusions (yes, I know I’m not the brightest light on the tree); but this one took just 3 seconds as the face is so badly photoshoped!

    The lady in the orange shirt wouldn’t be standing on the edge if this was real.

    That was so cool! I didn’t expect the person to be on the cliff!I ony figured it out when I enlarged the picture!

    This is the most ammature photoshop job I’ve seen in a while. I do better work drunk with one eye open…rookies!

  38. Eric says:

    I think Zade is right, it looks like there might be seven. If you look where the man and woman who are close together in the middle, you can faintly see an extra pair of legs and a yellowish shirt to the right of the lady. But yes, definitely photoshopped. Still nice though.

    that one was a bit too obvious. the lines of the face are so smooth and perfectly curved. i noticed it before i even noticed there were other people in the picture.

    hehe, its “trippin”!

  42. Chris says:

    I think i’ve been there! :p

  43. Shane says:

    not a difficult illusion. i can see this kind of thing happening if it wasn’t so perfectly made…. you know?

    side note: at first glance, it looked really pixelated. the feet of the people in the foreground looked boxed with their feet and shadow effect. to me, it was another illusion in itself cause it changes the dynamics of the photo.

  44. Dacus says:

    Once you zoom in you can see three bare legs so there are 6 people and then the face.

    How is this an optical illusion? Its simply a photo-shopped face pasted on top of a picture???

    Nothing cool. No “wows”. WTFO?

  55. i*is*awesome says:

    oh srry the comment by “vurdlak” was really me, i*s*awesome… sorry sorry..

  56. Anonymous says:

    Actually, if you view the larger version, you see 5 people standing, one sitting (you can see their legs only, behind the 2 people cuddling(?)plus the photographer, that itself is 7, PLUS the photoshopped face, which brings it to 8 total.

  57. Shikamaru says:

    i saw it right away. interesting though.

  58. Joel says:

    how did did nature do that?

  59. pythonX13 says:

    i noticed the sixth, but did you notice the seventh? There is at least a seven body count in this photo, you may have to magnify.

  60. Anonymous says:

    ok youre all slilly look very closly there are 6 real people and the shadow face there is one person behind the two people that over lap (look at the legs theres 6 legs 2 too many if it were only 2 people)

  61. Reme says:

    Doesn’t anyone else see the “7th Person”? A little “alien” figure to the left of the man in the foreground.

    At first I thought there was a little kid as the 6th person.

    Look at the guy closest to the camera with the green shirt on. If you look to the left of him at about his waist, it looks like there is a kid with a brown paper bag on his head.

    I don’t know if this is just me though….

  65. DaniDoll says:

    SO WIKCED!!! I know its photoshopped, but when i looked at the pic, the face popped outta nowhere!! :):):):):) I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
