# Hidden Object vs Grim Tales 24

The clearest difference is ads: Grim Tales 24 at none against Hidden Object's shown. Grim Tales 24 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Hidden Object's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 429). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Object sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Grim Tales 24 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grim Tales 24 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Object has 3.9K ratings behind it against 429, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Hidden Object's written reviews are positive against 69% of Grim Tales 24's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
