Where's Wally
Striped figure hunt
Where's Wally is the British title of a children's book series featuring detailed illustrations in which readers must locate a bespectacled figure in a red-and-white striped shirt hidden among dense crowds.
Known as Where's Waldo in North America.
The phrase extends to any search for something small amid visual chaos: Finding my car in that parking lot was like Where's Wally.
