# Hidden Objects vs Scavenger Hunt

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Objects at 4.9 against Scavenger Hunt's 3.6. Hidden Objects also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 60) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Scavenger Hunt's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Objects sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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, 4.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 57K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% 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 every 2 weeks, Scavenger Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 17, 2026 respectively.
