# Hidden City vs Halloween Hidden Objects Games

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden City at 72% against Halloween Hidden Objects Games's 13%. Hidden City also leads on ratings volume (95K vs 687) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Halloween Hidden Objects Games's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden City sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Halloween Hidden Objects Games sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Halloween Hidden Objects Games holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden City has 95K ratings behind it against 687, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Hidden City's written reviews are positive against 13% of Halloween Hidden Objects Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden City ships an update every 9 days, Halloween Hidden Objects Games monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
