Needle in a Haystack

About Needle in a Haystack

Needle in a Haystack puts you in an object-finding challenge inside a giant pile of hay in a first-person 3D environment. There are up to 1.5 million pieces of hay and only 10 needles, so what seems like a simple task quickly becomes a challenging search.

You will need to move deep into the haystack, observe the surroundings, and rely on the hot-and-cold detector to determine whether you are getting closer to or farther from a needle. The detector reacts faster as players approach the target, helping players gradually narrow down the search area.

Can you find all 10 needles in the shortest possible time? Start Needle in a Haystack now and test your navigation skills in a giant sea of straw!

Gameplay: Finding a needle in a haystack of 1.5 million straws

The main goal of Needle in a Haystack is very clear: find all 10 needles hidden somewhere inside a pile containing around 1.5 million pieces of hay.

Players start outside and then move into the haystack. As you go deeper, the pieces of hay gradually surround your view, and the area becomes harder to observe. Instead of seeing the entire area, you will need to rely more on the support device to find your way.

Each needle you find brings you closer to completing the challenge. However, the large size of the haystack makes it very difficult to find all 10 needles.
