# Hidden Objects vs Scavenger Hunt

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hidden Objects at 292K against Scavenger Hunt's 49. Hidden Objects also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 33%). Scavenger Hunt's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, 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 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hidden Objects against 4.6 for Scavenger Hunt. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 292K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 33% of Scavenger Hunt's.

Hidden Objects ships an update monthly, Scavenger Hunt every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
