# WordSearch Halloween vs Hidden Objects Halloween Ghost

The clearest difference is rating: WordSearch Halloween at 4.6 against Hidden Objects Halloween Ghost's 4.2. WordSearch Halloween also leads on ratings volume (615 vs 17) and update cadence (every 12 months vs every 26 months). Hidden Objects Halloween Ghost's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 66%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WordSearch Halloween sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hidden Objects Halloween Ghost sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WordSearch Halloween holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordSearch Halloween has 615 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of WordSearch Halloween's written reviews are positive against 92% of Hidden Objects Halloween Ghost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WordSearch Halloween ships an update every 12 months, Hidden Objects Halloween Ghost every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
