Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Object New York Chicago at none against Time Trap 2's shown. Hidden Object New York Chicago also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 74%). Time Trap 2's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 19) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Time Trap 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Trap 2 has 1.4K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Hidden Object New York Chicago's written reviews are positive against 74% of Time Trap 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hidden Object New York Chicago ships an update every 17 months, Time Trap 2 every 16 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
