# Halloween Chronicles vs Find Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is update cadence: Find Hidden Objects at every 2 weeks against Halloween Chronicles's every 2 months. Find Hidden Objects also leads on ratings volume (59K vs 1.3K) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). Halloween Chronicles's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Halloween Chronicles sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Find Hidden Objects sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Halloween Chronicles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find Hidden Objects has 59K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Halloween Chronicles'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.

Halloween Chronicles ships an update every 2 months, Find Hidden Objects every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
