Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: World Quiz at 20K against MapGame!'s 418. World Quiz also leads on chart position (#31 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). MapGame!'s advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
