The Hidden Side
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Hidden Side is 60 investigations drawn from true stories. One sentence, one absurd situation, and a single question: what actually happened? THREE WAYS TO PLAY On your own, at your pace: flip the card when you think you have it. Remotely, two of you: open a room and send the invite code to a friend. One of you is the Keeper and knows the answer, the other asks the questions. You don't need to be online at the same time โ questions wait for you, and a notification tells you when it's your turn. In the same room: one phone is enough. One player referees, the others investigate, and handing over the device is protected by a press-and-hold. CLOSED QUESTIONS, THREE ANSWERS Yes. No. Doesn't matter. That is the whole mechanic, and it holds a whole evening. ONE FREE INVESTIGATION EVERY DAY Unlock one free investigation a day โ the one you choose โ on top of the Premium content. A TUTORIAL YOU ACTUALLY PLAY No rules to read: on first launch you run a real demo investigation, place your bet on the answer, then flip the card. EIGHT LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. Every game ends properly: case closed or complete failure, with your score and a challenge to send straight back.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Case AI at fortnightly against The Hidden Side's monthly. The Hidden Side's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
