Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Object New York Chicago at none against Find Hidden Objects's shown. Find Hidden Objects's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (59K vs 19). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Hidden Object New York Chicago sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Find Hidden Objects sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Find Hidden Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find Hidden Objects has 59K 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 84% of Find Hidden Objects'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, Find Hidden Objects every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
