Play Needle in a Haystack free online

Needle in a Haystack is a first-person 3D game that does exactly what the name says. In front of you is a mountain of 1.5 million pieces of straw and somewhere in there are ten needles.

You walk with WASD or the arrow keys and click on a needle to pick it up.
