Read full descriptionHide full description
Hunt paranormal entities that have slipped through an inter-dimensional portal into your home, school or office using the latest in augmented reality ghost hunting gear! No heavy, and potentially dangerous, proton packs required! AR Ghost Hunt is good clean fun for all ages! It gets people out of their seat and onto their feet to aim at, and eliminate, pesky ghosts and to move around the room to find and grab the key needed to close that portal. No stream crossing necessary and not too scary to get the kids in on the action! Happy Hunting!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Wizarding World at Free against AR Ghost Hunt's $0.99. Wizarding World also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 36 months). AR Ghost Hunt's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
