About game
Fans of meditative challenges find their match in Needle In A Haystack Simulator. You explore a vast pile of dry grass, hunting for a single sharp object hidden deep within the fibers. Locating this needle requires patience as you systematically remove thousands of individual straws from the exterior. Every piece you discard reduces the height and footprint of the pile, slowly revealing what lies beneath. Focus remains key since you can only grab the top or side straws currently in your line of sight. Four distinct difficulty levels change the density of the haystack, while a timed mode pushes you to clear the mound with speed. This simulator turns a classic idiom into an engaging test of focus and spatial awareness. Grab the elusive metal point to claim victory in your browser right now without any downloads.
How to play
The round is won when you find the only needle. Move in close: you can take only the straw you are looking at, and only if it sits on the surface of the pile.
Desktop. WASD or arrow keys to walk. Mouse to look around. Left or right mouse button picks up the highlighted straw; press again to throw it. Space to jump. Ctrl or C to crouch and look lower.
Phone and tablet. Left stick to move. Swipe on empty screen space to turn the camera. The collect button picks up or throws.
Clear the top and the sides first: buried straws stay locked until you uncover them. Grab the needle and you win. In Time Mode a clock runs, and your result can appear on the leaderboard.
