# Hidden City vs Hidden Objects Game

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden City at 72% against Hidden Objects Game's 0%. Hidden City also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (95K vs 184). Hidden Objects Game's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). 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 Hidden Objects Game sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Objects Game holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden City has 95K ratings behind it against 184, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Hidden City's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hidden Objects Game'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, Hidden Objects Game every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
