# Whobert's Path vs Mystery Files

Whobert's Path and Mystery Files both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Whobert's Path's written reviews are positive against 59% of Mystery Files's. Whobert's Path also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Mystery Files's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 52 months) and ratings volume (5.9K vs 17). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whobert's Path sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mystery Files sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Whobert's Path against 4.6 for Mystery Files. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mystery Files has 5.9K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of Whobert's Path's written reviews are positive against 59% of Mystery Files's.

Whobert's Path ships an update every 52 months, Mystery Files fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
