      It depends on your table, but I disagree.

      If I ask the party for a perception check and they all fail the party should be aware of their choices (in this case, perception is important). If I then surprise them with an enemy they are clear why that happened.

      Alternatively in this case it’s to locate something, maybe they want to spend a luck point, flash of genius, or other similar ability.
