Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Escape Game at 5.0 against Mandarin Challenge's 4.4. Escape Game also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2).

Escape Game costs $0.49 and Mandarin Challenge $0.49 up front. Mandarin Challenge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Escape Game asks for nothing beyond the download.
Escape Game holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mandarin Challenge has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Escape Game's written reviews are positive against 57% of Mandarin Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Escape Game ships an update every 2 months, Mandarin Challenge weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
