ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Detention holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Detention has 186 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Detention's written reviews are positive against 100% of 猛鬼大廈2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Detention ships an update every 5 days, 猛鬼大廈2 daily. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
