# Hidden Objects vs Scavenger Hunt

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Objects at 4.6 against Scavenger Hunt's 3.6. Hidden Objects also leads on ratings volume (282K vs 60). Scavenger Hunt's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 46%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Objects sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Scavenger Hunt sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 282K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Hidden Objects'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 Objects ships an update monthly, Scavenger Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 17, 2026 respectively.
