4 Ninjas Optical Illusion

This new addition to spot the object category was submitted to me by Dario Jukica. Don’t worry this isn’t scary illusion, even though the room you see somehow resembles it. Nothing will pop-out, so you can relax. The task that is given to us is to spot 4 hidden Ninjas inside this room. I think I found only one in the picture frame, maybe I’m wrong. Let’s find them all! Dario wrote “First of all the usual stuff…your site is great and has some great illusions…keep up the good work. And now for my illusion…I’ve found this pic on the net and that’s about all I know about it….haven’t got a clue is it true or not…are there ninjas in it or no but I was kinda hoping your readers might help me out. I hope you like it..Enjoy”

  1. sure that is a joke…
    there’s no ninjas on that pic…
    only if they’re using Hange no jutsu (of Naruto series) to hide in form of objects…
    kkkk

  2. I’m not seeing a ninja anywhere, let alone four. Where did you see it in the picture frame? I am so confused! Maybe I just need to get some ninja eyes to see the ninjas in this room. Pretty room, otherwise though. :-)

  3. After like 30 min I finaly saw the one in the picture thing. On the picture way over on the wall the tree, or whatever it is, is actually a ninja withhis leg up in the air

    thats all i found

  4. One is laying on the ground behind the left couch, the second is on the left couch crouched behind the pillows, third is in the little chair in the foreground with its backrest to us (he is slouching down with his legs tucked up off the ground, and the fourth is INVISIBLE! I solved it!

  5. The only convincing one I found was in the plant directly above the TV. You can see a face there, pair of eyes on the wall with a green thing (plant) covering the rest of the face. Can’t find anything else that looks like much though, just a lot of maybes.

  6. It is a joke, you can always take any picture with a complex scenery, and pretend if you look long enough, that there is something in them!
    It’s a scientific fact!!

    This widget is becoming more and more pointless

  7. Ok, I’m french so, don’t smile !!

    I’ve found 2 ninjas (I think) One in the plant on the bookshelt and one in the lamp near the window in the middle of the room !

    but it’s just faces! not a body !

    is’nt it ?

  8. ahahahaha omg

    Okay guys let me explain this for you all.

    Its an internet joke. Some of you must be familiar with the pirates and ninjas etc on the interent right? Its like a joke thing.

    The joke about ninjas is that they can never be seen right? So people will find a picture of an empty room and say “There are 40 (or whatever amount) ninjas hiding in this room”

    You have been fooled people!

  9. the ninja is the supreme stealth and espionage warrior and any attempt to discover his presence will only end in death…

    every picture is worth a thousand ninjas

  10. There aren’t any acutally people (ninja’s) in this picture. The resolution is low so you have to squint and makes you believe there’s actually something there. I looked at it in Photoshop and the only two things i saw was the painting the right had a stick man on it, and the picture hanging to the left of the picture has an eye on it…It’s lame…

  11. ok, i checked this on line form. no ninjas, this is officially a dud, sorry people, nuttin’ to see, move along.

  12. OK you guys, if the picture does have ninjas, they wont be human kind, they will be plants or different things that have a face or something (in this case the face is a ninja)

  13. I get it now!

    The illusion is not about the ninjas…
    it’s about how the camera took the photo right in the angle where you can’t see most of the carpet. And the couch is directly in fornt of you.

    LOL

  14. nonono you guys still dont get it.

    This picture has NO ninjas what-so-ever. This picture probably wasnt even taken for this. Okay? Its a wind up.

    There are NO ninjas.

    NONE.
    ZERO.
    ZILCH.

  15. can anyone else draw a startling correlation between this thread and all of society and their crazy beleifs.

    You are told: “Look theres ninjas in this” when theres isnt. not in the slightest bit. Ill bet this was taken from a real esate site.

    And theres a whole list of people that saw static and claimed ninja.

    This is why im agnostic. You can’t trust illusions. They defy logic. Sometimes no illusion is an illusion in itself.

    So is definately an illusion, but the illusion was in many of our heads =)

  16. You seriously can’t find the ninjas? What a bunch of moron! They are like, so obvious. There is one in that plant, and there is one in the hall, the sofa and the window. Duh!

  17. THERE ARE NO NINJAS IN THIS PICTURE. God, yo uare all such idiots.

    And also, stop with this damn “first post” crap. It’s just stupid.

  18. I think it’s making a point – there ARE ninjas there, just none of us can see them BECAUSE they’re ninjas. Ninjas are stealth, you can’t see ninjas. It’s a joke. I don’t know if this was sumitted as a joke, but it is.

  19. While there are arent any really ninjas in the photo there are how ever 4 optical anomalies.

    The picture on the wall furthest left and the wall is the easiest one to see as the off white makes it stand out.

    The second is off right of the table between the 2 single wooden chairs. If you look closely you can see a cloudy gray form almost kneeling there.

    The third is kneeling down just off left of the plant in the furtherest back right corner. if you focus on the single black dot between the entertainment center and the plant you can see the outlining of his face.

    the fourth is standing right in front of the TV looking at the camera.

    Don’t believe me? I thought I was seeing things too. Drop the photo into Photoshop or other paint program and focus in on those areas. Im sure you will see them too.

  20. i dont know but i do see the one in the hall.the 2 black stuff makes it look like hes wearing shades.hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

  21. I UNDERSTAND IT NOW!!

    in the picture frame the tree forms a Y

    imagine the Y being the face and the dot to the right of the Y is the eye and the head is turned slightly to the left. it seems like a soldiers head with armor.

    Enlarging it may help.

    The other eye is sort of present, but hard to see. i think it’s also to the left of the Y. Once you get those two eyes the piece comes together and makes scense.

    Cool pic!

  22. GEEZ!!!
    Some of you people have NO imagination!

    “boo hoo, there’s no ninjas! everyone is an idiot except me! boo hoo!”

    I bet you guys dont believe in the Easter Bunny/bilby/other creature either, do you?

    And you know what? That’s YOUR loss. YOU are missing out, not us believers.

    But you can change- and be happier for it. Anyone can find the ninjas. It only takes a little leap of faith- just squint a little, stare into the picture, and let your imagination show you…

    Do you see the ninjas?

  23. To the far right of the picture, just bellow the window, there’s a smudge on the wall. If you look at it, it appears to be a face with a mask. :)

    (I see dead ninjas…)

  24. I mean this is so silly i can all 92 Mac Pro’s 2 x-san’s
    But no ninja’s.

    The pic is at such a bad rez you can see what you like

  25. Guys I think I found two ninjas:
    The one is the plant behind the closer sofa with a leg on the air and the other is in front of the same sofa but he is kicking and we can’t see his head

    Also I think that this is finally a joke

  26. There’s one under the carpet! It’s next to the black furniture. You can see how the carpet goes up, since there is a person under it.

  27. There is 4 ninja’s in the pic, well suppose to be i got this pic before off a friend and 4 ninja poped out right out in front of u about 10 to 15mins in but this one does not seem to be working

  28. If the ninjas are birds, their is one on the right chair….. lol I didnt c any, apart from the fact that the right hand sofa, ite bottom is slightly lifted up from the norm… :P

  29. OMG I FOUND ONE I FOUND ONE !!!! UNDENIABLE PROOF!!!!. IN THE HALL TO THE LEFT U CAN CLEARLY SEE A HEAD STICKING OUT OF THE DOOR. ( its kind of creepy)

  30. Of course they are hidden. I bet one is hidding behind the couch. Another one is behind the courtins, one is in the badroom and the last one under the bed you wont see it of course since the bed is inside of the room).

    Gotta use a lot of imagination though.

    Now, if you stare through the hall, isn’t there a little ninja sitting on… don’t know what it is, but sitting there on the right wall of the hall????

  31. There are 22 Ninja’s, 4 Bunnies with Pancakes on their heads, 2 decapitated Unicorns, and 1 Rabid Lemming in this picture!

  32. There is one hiding under the couch on the far side of the picture. There is one crouching on the chair facing away from us. There is one on the couch closest to us laying down behind the pillows. The last one is taking the picture. Ninjas are not ment to be seen…….

  33. I found them all.Three are a tables legs to the right and one is the middle leg to the left
    I WIN HA HA HA HA HA HA HA LOL.
    :]

  34. There are no ninjas in the pic. If there were, you wouldn’t see them anyway, because they are fucking ninjas! They are specially trained in the art of stealth and have the ability to remain unpercceived in any environment. That becomes the point of the image. It’s about no matter how hard we look, we won’t see any ninjas, even though we think we might.

  35. there are no ninja’s in the image
    the point is that ninjas can’t be seen.
    you can say it about any image.
    i believe this first was used by a troll to lure noobs into seeing somthing that isn’t there

  36. Oh Yes,I see.
    There are 4 ,right there
    Look
    On the Picture?
    FUCK ME
    I DONT SEE ANYONE ONLY AN OLD WOMEN BUT THATS MY GRANDMA STANDING BEHIND ME

  37. the picture by the hallway there is an eye and the plant pot above the tv there is a hand that looks like it moves every time u turn your head around (its REALY,REALY,REALY freaky 2 me!)

  38. so, all ninja’s:
    behind the door (it is open),
    behind the right (or left) counch (“but i don’t see it”, you say? YEAH, it is a NINJA.)
    On the left counch,
    and the picture is taken by a ninja too.

    seriously, i think they are hidden were you just CAN’T see them, you have to think they are there, THEY ARE NINJA’S.

  39. sorry for double comment, but on the counch on teh left: those pillows aren’t set up like a perfect hiding place for nothing! :)

  40. i found all ninjas! 1st one taking the picture, 2nd behind the ninja taking the picutre, 3rd behind the ninja behind the ninja taking the picture and last one behind the ninja behind the ninja behind the ninja taking the picture :D

  41. LoL! I can clearly see only one of them!
    Take a look in the central chair in the picture… on his right side, under the carpet…

  42. I don’t know what you all are thinking. There are actually 12 ninjas in this picture. And then there is Chuck Norris in the background.
    DUH.

  43. I hope not to burst any bubbles but the optical illusion is that you’re not looking for a dude in a black outfit with a bandanna on, but the fact that two of the plants dont have vases so something seems to be holding them up and there is also something in front of the shelf that seems to be levitating.. so i have found 3 of the ninjas.. can you find the 4th?

  44. I found them, there is one holding the fan of the roof, one ond the righ hall wall, other one behind the right pilow of the couch, and the other is the left chair, there is only his shadow

  45. Obviously there r no ninjas! ninjas hide in shadow! and this room is lit up by light! so there cant be any ninjas duuuhh lol hahahahaha

  46. not sure if it is just me but i think i found one ot at least his face. If you look at the T.V. stand thins with the 3 plants on top, the plant to the very left seems to have a face in it if you look at it closely.

  47. I found one (or maybe not) laying down on the chair next to the lamp that’s closer. It’s maybe the reflection but I don’t know.

    1. I think I see one by the lamp… and in the picture. They look like they are wearing sunglasses?

    1. Dude ninjas can conceal themselves to the naked eye and will only be visible for a short time frame when they strike after which they’ll fade back into stealth mode. Maybe provoke them a lil and u’ll see them!!!

  48. There aren’t any ninjas, it’s supposed to be a joke. Because if they were ninjas, you wouldn’t be able to see them.

  49. Half the people are right. And half are wrong. Look at the words: 4 Ninjas Optical Illusion. ILLUSION! “The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.” Deceive meaning to believe what is not there, aka mislead. There ARE ninja’s in this photo. But ninja’s can be seen!! Ninja’s are trained! You will never find them. And no, one is NOT hanging on the fan/chandelier, that would be too obvious. So there you have it! Hope this helped you out!

  50. Easy I found them I needed 3 people to help me. We all look very hard then I turn off the screen vaula there you go.

  51. look at the plant on top left of the entertainment center its a ninja kneeling down and you see his sword sticking out.

  52. okay there ARE ninjas in the room but i only see 3. 2 are disguised as objects 1 isn’t. 1 is the plant on the top left of the entertainment center. you can sorta see his figure crouched over and the 2 second one i see is the plant levitating on the far left on the far left table. thats his white covered leg you can see between the 4 table legs. the 3 third i see is under the far right couch. see how the couch rainbows in the middle and you can sorta see his black figure. the only one i cant confirm is there might be one in the corner behind the plants to the right of the tv lol. btw this pic here is bigger and better quality.

    http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg197/dmnkiller/4ninjas.gif

  53. i found three (i think) i saw one fan thing is really fat there is a big bump in the carpet and one is a plant lol

  54. Oh my silly little muggles.

    Tututut

    4 ninjas.

    Yes.

    In this picture you might ask?

    Yes.

    But they….are NINJAS

    You cant see them.Because they are unseeable by everyday people.

    There are ninjas in this picture.

    Its just impossible to see them.

    Or is it?

    Yes, yes it is.

    e.g

    Today, someone wrote ‘Pirates Rule!’ in the school bathrooms.I switched off the light and in glow in the dark ink it said ‘Ninjas are better.’ Yes, I think so.MLIA

    You see.The moral is.You cant see the ninjas.
    E.g like invisible ink.

    Its impossible.

    And oh so troublesome

    ^^ Laters :)

  55. I found 4 ninja eyes!
    Ninja #1: in the picture (at the right of the hall) the reflection is the eye of the ninja.

    Ninja #2: in the chair (center) there’s still an eye of a ninja

    Ninja #3: the painting at the right side of the picture.. there’s still an eye of a ninja

    Ninja #4: left curtain

  56. I’ll bet you the ninjas are only minute details, like the statuette on the table, or like one person has suggested, the legs of the table. Or whatever that odd shape is in that painting, I think there’s another statuette about the television with a backing. You can’t honestly be looking for full size ninjas. You see what you want to see. You guys are going to make yourselves crazy. You’ll never be sure with a picture of such low resolution, but to be honest, your best bet are these minor inanimate details.

  57. You know, this is one of the pictures from the pirates vs. ninjas battle. and ninjas are so fucking epic, that u cant see them at all. so u take a picture of something, say there are at least 9001 ninjas in there, and u just cant see them (obviously because there are no).

    1. yes you are right…the original image is an animated gif and if you wait long enough the four ninjas appear large as life

    2. finally! years ago when i first found this pic i think i remember being a bit frustrated because i couldn’t spot the freakin’ ninjas! somebody please tell webmaster to correct it!!!

  58. I sereously see two. one is in the first plant on the TV shelf. another is just to theleft of the flowers on the small table behind the couch

  59. there are no ninjas in this ! you 2 have over active imaginations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is just a normal living room :S

  60. I believe they may be on to something – take note of the cushion on the couch to the left of the picture… it seems to be floating, since its too far forward to actually be on the couch.

  61. i think either-
    1. there are ninjas in this pictures that have learnt to disguise themselves as plants and cushions.
    OR
    2. there are NO ninjas AT ALL in this picture.

    ~C.C

    1. i soooo agree i cant find any, but then again i looked at it for about 20 secounds hoping something would pop out

  62. Okay, so. This isn’t nearly as hard as it seems, there are no hidden ninjas. They’re all out in the open. You just have to wait a really long time for them to show up, but I believe it doesn’t work on this site because it isn’t saved as a GIF image. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg197/dmnkiller/4ninjas.gif has the GIF one, after a while of waiting they appear on the screen in front of you. Heads up, it might be a little creepy.

  63. you people are thinking too literally. they aren’t people ninjas that are what we usually think of when ninjas are mentioned. they are metaphorically ninjas.

  64. lol, this is an old pic. Anyways, if you are a fan of ninjas you would know that you can’t see ninjas.

    either a, if you beleive in ninjas, then there are 4 of em in the living room.

    or b, if you don’t beleive in ninja myth then it a picof a living.

    i have 4 ninjas in my kitchen but i can’t find em. and thats the point.

  65. if you can see a ninja, it is not a ninja! for a ninja must not be seen. a ninja is a stealthy warrior who must not be seen. the reason why you dont see the ninja’s is because they are on the roof. come on guys, you know that!!!!!!!

  66. this is a gif picture you idiots, it is an active pic you have to wait for a min and they pop up right in front of you for a second.
    Click on pandu link to see gif.

  67. grab the .gif from the link, open it in photoshop. click on ‘layer2’ to reveal it.

    solved.

    LMAO metaphorical ninjas…. you’re obviously the one ‘reading too much into it’!

    1. geeez, this is supposed to be a .gif, the ninjas will pop out after 60 seconds, yep, i opened the .gif file in photoshop, and there is a hidden layer 2 with the ninjas in it. it’s better if you wait 60 seconds though.

  68. i found it lets star left to right the first is right in the start of the photo there is the head and a foot the next is in the wall right near the first the third you see the tv one box to the left then one up and a little point next to the photo there is a little point thats the head of one and the last is in the right side of the photo behin the chair

    1. thank you so much!
      I can see it now. It’s all fragments of facial features embedded into the picture. like the eye in the picture on the wall.
      how pointless.
      this so-called illusion is dumb. I wish i hadn’t wasted so much time on it.

  69. Besides not providing straightforward explanations for each “illusion”, this is yet another problem with this site and administrator.

    You need to know what you’re talking about first before you post stuff.

    If you can’t provide a full explanation and solution (or don’t even know it yourself), don’t post the “illusion”.

    And stop the BS about ‘click here for the link’. I click and I get no explanation from any source. Do you know how to post links?

    He’s a “hint” for you. A “hint” is not an explanation.

  70. U just have to stare at it. Not searching just look at the picture. They should just appear for a second. It may startle u!!

  71. its not actually human ninjas with suits and stuff, read the comment above the picture, there is a ninja in the picture on the wall “IE a painting” we are not lookin for full grown ninjass

  72. This is painfull to read. The picture is of a living room. There are no ninja’s in it. If you go to the .gif link and wait long enough 4 ninja’s will pop up on the picture. The whole basis of this is that ITS A JOKE. A ninja is a master of disguise so you could put a picture of an empty field and say there was an army of ninja’s in it.

  73. I thought I did see a ninja or man in this pic. Look at the plant in the middle on top of the entertainment center. If you look at the left of the plant at the top. It’s like the plant is shaping a mans face. It looks like a man is looking through some bushes. I don’t know maybe its me or maybe not! Look for yourself! I didn’t see nothing else in this photo but that! I did look at the gif version and I did jump…LMBO! Nice one!

  74. DAMN IT!!! What a waste of time arrrghgh! I closely inspected this image with a photo editing program, got all up in there. Then I checked out the linked GIF version of the image … I just wanna kick myself for following up on this B.S.. Oh well, let me go find something else pointless in this light box. Yes this sucked sweaty balls.

  75. I first thought this was just a silly joke (and I think the gif came later) anyway one day in a larger version I noticed on the tv room divider, top shelf is the Japanese character か so I looked again. I believe there are 4 little statues of ninjas on the shelving system (I believe one is hidden in the plant on the top shelf. Not sure if it’s true but I do see small ninja looking statues similar to mine.

  76. pLEASE anyone really saw the ninjas?! please comment!

    I stared like six minutEs at thIS picture because people said that the ninjas will appeaR – because it is Gif picture – and I HAVE not SEEN anything!

    I am freaking out! Someone please heLp mE and if you can please Send me a picture which shoOWs exAcTly where the ninjas….

    Please preEs replay and help / upload photo!

  77. you post too many non optical illusions.therfore wasting a lot of peoples time.i use this column to be entertainednot to be p’d off. no more fake op. ill. thanks

  78. There really are 4 ninjas in this picture! As in real ninjas! You just have to stare hard at the photo. I don’t know if I just focused on one point or crossed my eyes, but they popped out and scared the hell out of me. lol

  79. There really are 4 ninjas in this picture! Standing in front~ But what I stared at was this link from Diana:
    http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg197/dmnkiller/4ninjas.gif
    As in real ninjas! You just have to stare hard at the photo. I don’t know if I just focused on one point or crossed my eyes, but they popped out and scared the hell out of me. Or probably it’s in gif, that’s why I just waited for a few secs then it’ll just pop out. lol
    Oh, wait. I did it again and I focused on the red curtain at the back (tried other objects but blah), it was easier for them pop out.

  80. This picture is a gif. If you see the original picture, if you watch it long enough, four ninjas will pop up and disappear

  81. Ninjas aren’t THAT brilliant, they are good at being in disguise but i can’t see even a ninja looking exactly like a plant on top of a cabinet!
    It’s a joke, there are no ninjas. The joke is that the ninjas are invisible but anyone who actually knows real ninjas knows they are just people who used illusions.
    Nice try.

  82. There is one at the top near the fan, with his head sticking out and one on the left behind the chair, One ninja is on the very right, down the hall there is a black blur,I can’t find the last one?:p.

  83. Yep. There are ninjas in the pictures alright, but, there are actually 7 of them in the pic…

    Okay, so I found two ninja turtles (Leonardo and Raphael) down by the base of the plant shelf.

    There is one desguised as a plant and another in a painting, I can see another’s arms sticking out from the left-hand side of the chair in the middle of the room,and I think I see to legs sticking out from the chair in the right-hand side of the room. So there you go.

  84. These images that are usually framed with a black outline and a quote below are usually chosen or made to give the feeling of what the quote is broadcasting. They dont have to be realistic and most times have ironic character showing this way in this example that a ninja could hide so well that just by saying that 4 can hide in a simple room makes one wonder for hours even the room is empty.. or is it? ;)

  85. I think there’s one in the picture, one in the top right corner of the bookshelf atleast it kind of looks like a figure doing a high kick, and then on top of the bookshelf on the far right there are two figures standing there I suppose they could be the remaining two as I see nothing else that resembles a ninja or a person
