# Hidden Quest vs Time Trap 2

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Quest at none against Time Trap 2's shown. Hidden Quest also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Time Trap 2's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 263). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Time Trap 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Trap 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Trap 2 has 1.4K ratings behind it against 263, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Hidden Quest's written reviews are positive against 74% of Time Trap 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden Quest ships an update every 2 months, Time Trap 2 every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
