About Needle in a Haystack

A free browser game

Needle in a Haystack is a 2D game that runs in the browser. One needle is hidden in 5,000,000 straws. You cut the hay until it appears. Opening the page is enough: there is no account, no download, and no payment.

Not the Steam game

This site is an independent browser game. It is inspired by Needle In A Haystack Simulator, the 3D game from Studio Bitdot and Polden Publishing on Steam (app 5159870). We are not that studio, we are not the publisher, and this page is not an official or authorized version. The Steam store page is open. The 3D game is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.
