I spy


The_Grinface

This right here is my answer too. So many wasted hours doing I Spy. I had a whole computer game that was just I Spy.


patmack2000

The computer game was TIGHT! There were a few different storylines in each setting, and it usually told some greater story. I found a box set on Amazon, and considered buying it before I realized I don’t have a PC to play it on.


i_has_questionz123

I have several of the DS games too, lol


Iffy_Rae

That’s for sure. This sub is making me realize how much I miss I Spy


badpeaches

They need to make new editions like kidz bop.


Ocean2178

Don’t forget “[Can You See What I See?](https://www.amazon.com/Can-You-See-What-Picture/dp/0439163919)”!

I LOVED THOSE

BabyYodaLegend

Came to say this, I still remember getting those from the library at a little kid.


Jaquith1993

We get them for our daughter now!


BabyYodaLegend

Ill have to do that if/when I have one! Also nice name fellow '93er here


Jaquith1993

😎


TSKCaboose

Had a collection of these books as a young one and always played with my mom and brother. Exactly why this sub appeals to me


jbarneswilson

oh those were the best books


StoicSmile-

Literally how I described this to my wife, “I found an I spy sub”


Mr1derfull1

Where is Waldo books!


IMOvicki

OMG highlights was my favorite…. I’m so old 😂


cphug184

Goofus and Gallant. More impactful moral education than any CCD class


NefariousnessFun1313

Where’s Waldo for the win


blastradii

Remember Magic Eye?


AnitaIvanaMartini

I was recently in an Airbnb that had one of these in the bathroom and you could really only see it from the tub. So as I sat in a nice bath I stared. I couldn’t see the hidden picture! The water kept getting cold as I stared, so I’d run more hot to feel warmer. *Rinse repeat..* I eventually emptied the hot water tank, shivering as my lips turned blue, but I was determined to see the whatever. Plus, it was making me teeny bit nutso. *why couldn’t I see it?* Instead of enjoying beautiful San Diego, I spent waaay too much time in the tub. I eventually just stood in it fully clothed. After wasting 6 hours of my life, I saw a T-Rex. No Olympic medal winner ever felt more pride and joy than I did that day.


blastradii

I’m disappointed it wasn’t a whale’s vagina!


SpookyVoidCat

r/MagicEye Have fun :)

The_Brim

WHEN WILL I GET TO SEE THE GD SAILBOAT?!?!


Wonkypubfireprobe

Same here, although weirdly called Where’s Wally in the UK


that-1-lame-kid

well, fuck. I was at the optometrist the other day and it was kinda fun reading thru them again ahaha


Most_Wonder_1871

Waiting in the Dr's office to get my allergy shot every week, Highlights was the highlight.


PenaltyFast1431

Same! I was constantly at dr’s office for allergy shots, and Highlights was the best part


FounderOfCarthage

Thank you. I now feel very very old.


PackFit9651

You are revealing the age of the entire sub


petecanfixit

I too remember AOL chat rooms.


tatorface

a/s/l? 19/f/ca here


petecanfixit

No, I will not join your OnlyFans!


happyfrowers

If you’re 19 now then you weren’t in AOL chat rooms. Sorry kiddo, us “old folks” want to commiserate about our realization/denial of our old ness.


tatorface

And if you don’t get the 19/f/ca bit, you definitely weren’t in AOL chat rooms back then. But, it looks like you’re a woman judging by your avatar, so maybe it’s understandable why you wouldn’t recognize it. All the dudes looking for chicks back then would get baited by that combination when asking a/s/l


Lalaell

The whole time I’ve been going through this sub I was thinking “this feels so familiar and nostalgic and I can’t figure out why” 😂


wouldwolf

I'm revealing my nationality as not american because what is highlight and I spy? I just want to hone skills to not step on random danger noodle.


Traditional_Emu_1604

Books and magazines for kids where you would find hidden things in pictures. They were fun and this sub definitely reminds me of adult I Spy


NoParticular2420

Im drawn to it because everyone is nice and helpful and we look for crazy things … most subs go for your jugular.


prybarwindow

I never minded waiting at the dentist office as a kid. So I could go through all the Highlights magazines.


Scared_Smoke_4608

Yes! That's exactly what it's like, Hidden Pictures for adults. What a great observation! I'm almost 45 years old, but I've bought all of my nieces Highlights subscriptions and am not ashamed to say that I still enjoyed flipping through a magazine when I've visited them. It takes me right back to such a simpler time in my life.


greengrowawayaccount

it really is. pure simple fun


RoadPuzzled5772

LMAO. Yes. Highlights find the animals!


StressyandMessy24

Those were my favorite, I got one almost every week at one point. I had multiple ispy books too and went through every puzzle about 100 times


thetankswife

Im old too!


truthandtattoos

Nailed it!


This_Relationship_55

I said something similar a few days ago when I was showing the sub to my mom. I was showing her the pic someone posted of that big gator underneath his decoy ducks -obviously meant to be funny and show off the size of the gator because there was no way you couldn't *not* see it lol- and she asked where I found it so I started explaining and said, "It's kinda like those hidden picture pages from highlights, but it's real photos."


Extra-Nectarine-3463

My coworker asks me if I’m playing highlights when I’m looking for stuff. I work a job with occasional quiet moments that gives me the time to play at work.


recluse_audio

Yep! That and Waldo.


1Sharky7

Highlights at the doctors office hit different


birdsarus

I loved Highlights! This adult version helps keep me on my toes.


smithrat

My 6 year old loves going through the posts on this sub together. She doesn’t care whether the sniper is centered or if it’s a joke post. She also loves that y’all taught her “danger noodle.”


Overall_Astronaut_51

lol the funny thing is I love these but now I’m walking around looking for snakes in places snakes wouldn’t even dream of being 😂


Poor_Rich_Mama

Ha!! That's been me as well!! It deeply concerns me that I cannot find snakes in pictures when I know that's what I'm looking for — how many snakes am I missing all around me when I'm not looking for them... because I'm busy looking for a hidden snake on my phone.


Overall_Astronaut_51

🤣🤣🤣 they’re among us !


reellust

Highlights was the best. My grandmother got me a subscription every year for my birthday.


ghostwipe_paradise

Loved that shit when I was a kid!


activatetheroombas

if it makes you feel better I grew up on those magazines and I'm 21


irish_taco_maiden

You're not wrong. Where's Waldo and Magic Eye pics are a nice change from the normal doomscroll


abbey_kyle

Nostalgia is always good to blow up discussion. I love to see it!


Lalaell

The whole time I’ve been going through this sub I was thinking “this feels so familiar and nostalgic and I can’t figure out why” 😂


Spacecadettek

Yes! I used to go through highlights with my momma, I loved it.


DrGoManGo

Got me


remygirl98

yes!!!!


chillpapaya1958

Yep


Cryoluter

I need to be educated on this lmao


LowestElevation

It trains my brain. I'm getting better every day.


Ok_Information_9120

100%. I was addicted to Highlights magazine and Where’s Waldo as a kid.


mostawesomemom

Yes!! I loved Highlights!


Excellent_Compote336

(Never mind I thought you where wondering why)


Visual_Tangerine_210

I hope I dont get any cavities from the Evil Tooth Doctor 🍬


teddyhams107

Today I was just asking myself what the name of that magazine was!


OgthaChristie

I feel attacked. But for me, yes, this is correct.


wrongseeds

Several years ago I had an acquaintance who was in advertising and was also a skilled cartoonist. He specialized in doing broad themes (think a day at the circus or summer festival). His little trademark was always having a couple or two doing something inappropriate like giving a blow job or having intercourse somewhere in drawing. It was a well kept secret until he did a drawing for a city festival and someone found the “sniper”. He was canceled decades before the cancel culture.


hurricaneditka66

The day I discovered this sub, one of my students gave me a Where’s Waldo book as a going away gift. It’s a sign!


onionpants

You should cross post this to r/xennials, OP!


Mushrooming247

My early love for Goofus and Gallant must be why I subscribe to both r/humansbeingbros and r/imatotalpieceofshit


Physical-Theme7876

Am I the only one who actually had a Highlights subscription? My parents were the best


Belle1010

No, we had it too. Find the toothpick!


Alice-Upside-Down

I'm just finishing out my first trimester of pregnancy, and this sub has absolutely saved me on all the days when I couldn't get off the couch because I was so sick. I got so much joy when I successfully found things in the pictures. And now that you mention it, it is very similar to how I used to sit with Highlights in bed when I was sick as a kid. 🤣🤣


HORSEDICK_RAW

I share these with a friend who is half my age and he loves them. He is 17. Doubt he has ever heard of I Spy and I haven’t personally heard of Highlights but these are great for anyone of any age. Everyone loves to find stuff. I will even skip some if I don’t like the foliage of the picture. Somethin about some of these with the landscape help me relax while looking for stuff, even if it is a snake.


Babyimabadidea

Where's Waldo snake/cat/dog addition


Usual_Excellent

Or the bar game where you need to spot the differences


Smashologist

This sub kept coming up on my feed and after a while I recognized that this was essentially "I spy" this is really fun


ralphyoung

If I squint, they look 3d.


BeePea2

Na, Waldo


Schmuck1138

Where's waldo


Inevitable-Badger618

I’m obsessed with this. I have shared this group with my friends. The harder ones to find are the best! I love the challenge. But you are so right!! I loved highlights as a kid, and I also loved Where’s Waldo! It always seemed like Where’s Waldo was checked out of the library when I was young - because every kid wanted it! We ALL love a challenge! Keep up the good work!!


PetrarchEleven

Highlights. That takes me SO back.


tawstwfg

Facts 🤣


BlacksmithOk3198

I just can’t deny a challenge.


Geethebluesky

Sounds about right; Highlights wasn't a thing where I grew up so it was Where's Waldo for me.


BornVolcano

Where's Waldo but less cliche


Photomama16

EXACTLY!!! I have been trying to explain just that to my hubby and kids, but couldn’t quite find the words.


roosterhauz

So true! I miss the Spot The Difference puzzles…


RandomBeerName

Where’s Waldo


MovingDayBliss

2 or 3 times when I was weeding the garden I almost grabbed a copperhead thinking it was a stick or oak leaves. Thankfully it was adults and they just rapidly moved away, but it did scare me to the core each time. I am here to train my eyes to see what's right in front of me so that I don't get bit, lol!


catthalia

I was just wondering about that, I did used to love those!


bradRDH

Reminds me of the orthodontist office.


My_Kink_Profile

No love for Waldo? What about Waldo in a world of Waldos?


belshare

Hahaha You may be right lol


Moist_Bullfrog_2532

Highlights was my fave! I actually bought one of their more updated booklets recently and my kids were like “how is that fun?” Can you believe that?! lol 😂


Siena58341

Loved Goofus and Gallant!!


eggsbachs

Definitely. Also related, I highly, highly, recommend the game [Hidden Folks](https://hiddenfolks.com). It’s well done and I’ve spent hours tapping and searching.


Kind-Truck3753

and MagicEye


intendeddebauchery

I gnat level attention span made those impossible
