# Hidden Through Time vs Scavenger Hunt

The clearest difference is price: Scavenger Hunt at Free against Hidden Through Time's $2.99. Scavenger Hunt also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 45%). Hidden Through Time's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Scavenger Hunt is free to download; Hidden Through Time costs $2.99 up front. Hidden Through Time sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Scavenger Hunt sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Through Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Through Time has 1K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Hidden Through Time's written reviews are positive against 71% of Scavenger Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden Through Time ships an update every 11 days, Scavenger Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 17, 2026 respectively.
