Verdict

The call

Twisted Worlds and Mystery Files both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Twisted Worlds's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mystery Files's. Twisted Worlds also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Mystery Files's advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 206) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Twisted Worlds sells 13 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mystery Files holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mystery Files has 5.8K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Twisted Worlds's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mystery Files's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Twisted Worlds ships an update monthly, Mystery Files fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
