It was found after a local game day event, and a friend would like to know where it goes before rifling through the hundreds of games in the game library.

Google Images doesn’t recognize it. That’s not a good sign.

To be fair, it’s a tiny tile on a large expanse of fabric, and it’s oriented weirdly. It’s either going to return curtains, or if you zoom in, it’ll be gemstones, maybe the odd IC chip.

ETA: I see cufflinks are a favourite match, too 🙂

I don’t recognize it, but by the camo pattern, I’d say check out military or sci-fi games.

If these games are stored together for events, maybe just start up a shoe box of “extra” pieces that get left over just like this. Anyone who’s short can check the box.
