PAINT. HIDE. GET SPOTTED. Mecca Gecko is a hide-and-seek party game for iPhone and iPad. Paint your character to match the scenery, freeze in a hiding pose, or copy a prop. When it is your turn to seek, search the room and tag hiders with a toy paint blaster. HIDE AND PAINT Turn your character into a living canvas. Sample colors and patterns from the room, paint your body, and blend into furniture, walls, and pictures. Crouch, curl into a ball, lie flat, or cling to a wall. PROP HUNT Copy an object in the map and hide among the real props. Seekers have to spot the difference. RED VS BLUE Play a team series, swapping hiding and seeking roles between rounds. Combine the series with Hide and Paint or Prop Hunt. PLAY SOLO OR WITH FRIENDS BOT PLAY lets you play offline with computer-controlled opponents. In PLAY ONLINE, host a party, share its code, or find an available game. Internet parties use an online relay; a player hosts the match. Players joining during a round enter as hiders. MAKE YOUR CHARACTER YOURS Choose from separate hider and seeker wardrobes. Hiders include the gecko, tabby, bunny, corgi, duck, and axolotl. Seekers include Chef, Cowboy, Detective, and other characters. Arrange an emote wheel and wave, dance, celebrate, or perform a backflip. EXPLORE SEVEN MAPS Hide in Gecko House, Palm Cove, Castle Keep, The Conservatory, Arcade Atrium, Gecko Mart, and Barn Bash. The maps and core modes are included with the free game. OPTIONAL PURCHASES The shop offers characters, emotes, and consumable diamond packs. Diamonds can also be spent on emotes and single-use powerups. Powerups apply in Bot Play and Red vs Blue rounds; classic online rounds do not use them. Purchases are optional. There are no subscriptions or third-party ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mecca Gecko at none against Bowling 3D Extreme's shown. Mecca Gecko also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Bowling 3D Extreme's advantage is ratings volume (69K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
