Short description

One needle. Five million pieces of hay. Finding Needle in the Stack is a free 3D browser game where you dig through a giant haystack, sell the junk and treasure you find, upgrade from bare hands to an industrial hay vacuum, and hunt down the one hidden needle.

Long description

Finding Needle in the Stack takes the old saying literally. Players start next to an enormous haystack with nothing but work gloves. Every handful of hay pulled out can reveal something: rusty nails, bottle caps, coins, keys, rings and, very rarely, a diamond. Finds are sold at the Trading Post to buy better tools – a hay hook, a pitchfork, a leaf blower and the Hay Vacuum 3000 – plus a metal detector that eventually tells the needle apart from ordinary junk, and Auto-Sifter machines that tunnel into the stack on their own.

The whole haystack is fully diggable: players carve real tunnels and caverns, loose hay collapses, and every change is saved automatically in the browser. A Purist mode strips everything away for a slow, gloves-only search. The game runs on PC and mobile with no download or account.
