Search For The Needle Chapter 1: FARMHOUSE Guide
Chapter 1 (FARMHOUSE) is the main Search For The Needle place — official Place ID, the hay-search objective, the Welcome! badge, and how the core loop works.
FARMHOUSE is where Search For The Needle lives. Roblox’s universe data lists Chapter 1 (FARMHOUSE) as an official place with Place ID 108628039999641, and this is where you spawn, learn the loop, and hunt the Needle itself.

What do you actually do in FARMHOUSE?
The official description is the whole design doc: search through the hay, find the hidden Needle, beat your best time. Around that sits a working economy loop:
- Collect hay from the pile into your bag.
- Sell a full bag at the trough for cash.
- Upgrade Speed, Grasp, Hold, and Hand at the shop.
- Search the pile systematically — the Needle is a real object in the hay volume, not a lottery drop.
Every trip through that loop makes the search faster. Cash buys efficiency; efficiency exposes more straw per minute; more exposed straw is how the Needle turns up. The full route from spawn to first upgrade is in the beginner guide.
What does the Welcome! badge confirm?
Welcome! (badge ID 139711990871978) is awarded just for playing — its official description says so, and its 100% win rate across 21 million+ awards backs that up. It exists to prove badge plumbing works; the badge that actually matters here is Found the Needle!, covered in the badges guide.
Is the Needle always in the same spot?
No fixed spawn is verified. Treat any “guaranteed location” video as one successful run, not a rule — Garage Games does not publish spawn logic, and a single clip cannot prove permanence. The reliable play is a disciplined search pattern, which is what the needle search guide and the locations reference cover.
How do I get to Chapter 2?
Chapter 2 (BASEMENT) is a separate place in the same universe — Place ID 83445806734780 — with a different objective (find the key, escape). It does not replace FARMHOUSE; think of it as the game’s second mode. Route and access details live in the Chapter 2 guide.
