About
There are 450,000 straws in this haystack. One of them is a needle. Find it.
Needle in a Haystack is exactly what it sounds like: a real, GPU-simulated haystack, straw by straw, with a single needle hidden somewhere inside. Walk around the pile, look closer, and move the hay out of the way. There is no trick and no shortcut. The needle is in there, and the only way to find it is to look.
EVERY STRAW IS A POINT
Each straw earns a point the first time you move it. Rare golden straws are worth 25. Keep the hay flying and a streak multiplier takes you up to 5×.
SPEND POINTS ON TOOLS
• Gloves grab three straws at a time
• The pitchfork scoops a whole clump and flings it over your shoulder
• The rake drags through the pile as you walk, no tapping needed
• The metal detector beeps faster and higher as you close in on the needle
FIVE HAYSTACKS
Very Easy starts you with a thousand straws. Incredibly Hard is the full 450,000. Dense hay slows you down, so dig in from the outside and work your way to the middle.
