Haystack Needle Quest

Features
Read full description

A precision challenge where you must find a single needle buried deep inside a massive haystack. With 10 levels of difficulty and time tracking, your focus, reaction speed, and finger accuracy will be pushed to the limit. In the training level, the needle flashes red, making it easy to learn the basics. Once you get used to the controls, increase the difficulty and dive into the dense maze of hay. As the level rises, the hay becomes finer, thicker, and the needle becomes nearly impossible to spot. It's the true experience of "finding a needle in a haystack." Can you find it? A perfect game for stress relief and concentration training. Slide the needle upward with delicate, precise movements—and claim your victory.

About

Needle Quest

Read full description

One lost needle. A haystack full of secrets. Where would you start? Step onto a colourful little farm and search a giant haystack from a first-person view. Pick up your first handful, sell it at the Hay Market and turn small discoveries into better tools. Every straw you remove opens another little pocket. Dig a hollow, carve a tunnel and uncover what is hiding inside. BUILD YOUR TOOLKIT Start with your bare hand, then work through a glove, mini rake, scoop, pitchfork and shovel to a powerful vacuum. Improve your carrying capacity, gathering speed and hay value as you go. Each tool digs in its own shape. FOLLOW THE COLOUR Green, purple, red and orange rare straws give you crystals for tools. Look for blue tech crystals and hidden treasures to develop your engineering kit. Use a collecting bomb to clear a patch or follow scanner echoes towards a find. Your drone carries its own hay to market and earns coins while you keep exploring. FILL YOUR COLLECTION Find seven distinctive campaign needles as the haystacks grow from 50,000 to 3 million straws. Finish the campaign to unlock Free Play, choose a haystack size and search for secret needles. Discover curious farm treasures and collect all four Sewing Kit pieces for a bonus. DAILY WORD HUNT Find hidden 3D letters and collect the word of the day across several haystacks. Complete the word to earn bonus tech crystals. PLAY AT YOUR PACE Simple touch controls, portrait and landscape layouts, and progress saved on your device let you return to your search. The core game works offline. Optional rewarded advertisements need a connection and availability may vary. Every handful brings you closer. What will you uncover next?
