# Around the World vs Hidden Object

The clearest difference is rating: Around the World at 4.0 against Hidden Object's 3.2. Around the World also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 20 months vs every 82 months). Hidden Object's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Around the World holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Object has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Around the World ships an update every 20 months, Hidden Object every 82 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
