ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ScavengerHunt.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScavengerHunt.com has 574 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ScavengerHunt.com's written reviews are positive against 69% of Explorial's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ScavengerHunt.com ships an update fortnightly, Explorial every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
