Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Escape #2 at 4.0 against 15 Puzzle's 3.3. Escape #2 also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 128 months). 15 Puzzle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Escape #2 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 15 Puzzle has 4.8K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of 15 Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 51% of Escape #2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

15 Puzzle ships an update every 128 months, Escape #2 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
