Haystack Factory vs Needle Quest

Grandma's barn holds one enormous pile of hay: 1,500,000 strands, and every single one is counted. Somewhere inside, she hid her needles. So roll up your sleeves, walk in and start pulling it apart. No ads. No pressure. Just cozy hay hunting with Grandma. PLUCK EVERY STRAND • Play in first person, in landscape: left thumb to walk, right thumb to look around. • Pluck hay by hand until your apron is full. Every strand you move leaves the pile, and the counter keeps ticking down. • Weigh your hay at the Hay Scale for coins. Keep the deliveries coming and the combo climbs. BIGGER TOOLS, BIGGER HAULS • Toy Trowel, Garden Spade, Hay Fork, Feed Bucket, Wheelbarrow, Garden Wagon, Push Broom, Leaf Blower and the gloriously loud Hay Vacuum (mind the overheating). • The Pin Finder pings and buzzes in your hands as you get close to metal. • Three upgrade tracks per tool, with the numbers right there: 1 strand per grab becomes 2, then 3… BUILD YOUR OWN HAY LINE • Place every machine by hand, right in the barn: Conveyors, Rake Pistons, Pitch Arms, Hay Hoppers, Fork Junctions, Decks, Stairs and a Barn Lift. • Put a Magnet Gate on a belt and it stops anything metal in its drawer. Walk over, open the drawer and see what you caught. • Power it all with Hay Stoves, Power Poles and Batteries. • Press hay into bales, wrap them, mill pellets and roll paper. Lob clumps across the barn with the Hay Cannon, or send a Crop Copter to tidy the floor. GRANDMA'S SEWING CABINET • 28 needles to collect, from the everyday Darning Needle to the legendary Golden Needle. Each one comes with Grandma's story and a perk. • The paperclip will fool you at least once. Junk goes in the Junk Drawer: 18 oddities to dig up. • Lucky strands go in Grandma's Lucky Jar. The odds are fixed and shown in the game. A WHOLE FARM'S WORTH OF HAY • Orders from the neighbors: Old Man Hawkins, the bakery, the stables, the zoo and more. • The Farmer's Almanac: more than 200 pages of upgrades across 8 branches. • Clear Grandma's Barn, then take on bigger stacks: the Back Field, the Old Silo, the Harvest Fair Heap and, one day, Mount Haymore. • The Daily Haystack: one small stack with one needle, the same for everyone today. FAIR, ALWAYS • Needles are never for sale. You find every one yourself. • No loot boxes. • Nothing you can buy helps in the Daily Haystack. • No ads. • Plays offline. No account needed. Best with two thumbs and haptics on. Haystack Factory is free to play, with optional in-app purchases that never include needles. Payment is charged to your Apple Account.

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.
