What is Search For The Needle?

Search For The Needle is a cozy Roblox Adventure / Story experience by Garage Games built around the classic needle-in-a-haystack challenge. Players search through a huge pile of hay, improve their run, and try to beat their best time.

A new run starts with a 25-hay bag, and each piece of hay sells for $0.01, so the first full bag is worth $0.25. From there, Gems, 8 documented classes, bag and tool upgrades, three badges, and secrets such as the UFO turn the simple search into longer-term progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you do in Search For The Needle?

Enter the Farmhouse, clear the giant haystack, sell collected hay to the cow for Cash, buy upgrades, and keep searching until you uncover the hidden Needle.

Which upgrades should beginners buy first?

Speed and Grasp are the strongest documented opening priorities because they reduce travel time and help you clear hay faster.

How do you earn Gems?

Finding the Needle rewards Gems, and returning players can also collect Gems through login rewards. Gems fund permanent progression and Class spins.

How many badges are currently documented?

Roblox currently lists three badges for the experience: Welcome!, Found the Needle!, and Find the UFO.

What is the starting bag capacity and first full-bag value?

The documented starting capacity is 25 hay. Hay sells for $0.01 each, so a full starting bag is worth $0.25 before any upgrades change your run.

How many classes are documented, and how much does a Class spin cost?

The current research documents 8 classes. A Class spin costs 40 Gems, so check the class guide before spending permanent-progression currency.

Is finding the UFO separate from finding the Needle?

Yes. Roblox lists Find the UFO as its own badge, separate from Found the Needle!. The official badge confirms the objective, but does not publish the UFO's exact location.
