From the makers of Wizard101 for the PC comes WizardBlox, a puzzle mini-game from the hit video game Wizard101! WizardBlox is like the game you play in Wizard101 called Sorcery Stones but with a twist – In WizardBlox, you can earn codes for gold, potions, or other surprises to use with your Wizard101 character! Here’s how you play – touch and slide a block to move it horizontally left or right. Create matches of 3 or more blocks of a single color. Don't let the blocks reach the top of the screen or the game will be over! In addition to normal blocks, various special blocks can appear in the playfield. Pinwheels match any other block. Bombs count as a block of that color, and make a huge explosion when they go off! Jewels match any blocks like pinwheels, and also destroy all the blocks of that color when you make a match. Reinforced blocks must be matched once to destroy their reinforcement. Frozen blocks cannot be swapped around.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Picture Hunt at 4.5 against WizardBlox's 3.6. Picture Hunt also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (6K vs 234). WizardBlox'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

Picture Hunt holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picture Hunt has 6K ratings behind it against 234, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of WizardBlox's written reviews are positive against 44% of Picture Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WizardBlox ships an update every 23 months, Picture Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
