Find the needle
Drag to brush hay aside. Tap the needle when you can see it. The clock starts on your first touch.
How to play
- Brush. Drag your finger or mouse across the hay. Fast flicks throw straws further.
- Look. The needle is thin, silver and has an eye at one end. It lies under the hay, not on top.
- Tap. Once at least half of it is uncovered, tap it to stop the clock.
- Work from one edge inward so cleared hay has somewhere to go.
- The hint draws a circle that contains the needle and adds 30 seconds to your time.
- The daily needle is in the same place for everyone and changes at midnight UTC.
