Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Quest at none against Mystery Spot's shown. Hidden Quest also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 65%). Mystery Spot's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 263). On price, 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 Mystery Spot sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mystery Spot holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mystery Spot has 2.3K 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 65% of Mystery Spot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hidden Quest ships an update every 2 months, Mystery Spot every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
