Overview
Needle Hunt takes the classic idiom literally and turns it into a playful, low-pressure game. Developed by Rantey and published alongside Pakumi, this Early Access title drops you into a colorful, stylized barn on a farm.
Your mission is straightforward: locate a single small metal needle hidden somewhere among the hay. The game launched on October 17, 2026, and supports English, Japanese, and seven other languages.
Highlights
- Co-op search party: Play solo or team up with up to four players in online co-op. Create or join a lobby and search together.
- Relaxed pace: The game is designed as a casual, cooperative experience—no timers or pressure, just focused searching.
- Cartoon farm setting: The barn is packed with hay piles, corners, and details to inspect, all rendered in a bright, funny art style.
Who It's For
If you enjoy hidden object games but prefer a more social, laid-back twist, Needle Hunt fits the bill. It's great for friends who want to chat while hunting for a tiny needle, or for solo players who like methodical exploration.
