Not the same game
Hooked daily game vs Hooked Inc
Hooked Inc is a long-running fishing idle from Lion Studios. Hooked, the daily game, is a 30-second trivia haul in the browser. The names collide. The games do not.
If you want five categories and a heavier fish for a stranger answer, you want hookeddailygame.com. If you want to build a fishing business, upgrade boats, and keep an idle loop running, you want Hooked Inc: Fishing Games. The App Store listing puts Lion Studios LLC on that title, with a first release of 24 Sep 2018 and an update dated 10 Sep 2026. The listing shows a free download plus in-app purchases, and a rating of 4.71 from 504,063 ratings on the day this page was checked.
The official daily game is played on its website; no matching store listing was found in the searches linked on our play page. Its price, when you pay at all, is a five-dollar pass on its own site. Its session is one haul, then you wait for the next local midnight unless you bought extra modes. Hooked Inc is built to be opened often and left running. That is the practical test: a round that ends in five clocks is not an idle tycoon.
Art and verbs differ too. Hooked Inc is about casting a line at fish that exist in its waters. The daily game never asks you to land a real species. The fish are the score labels for trivia answers: Minnow through Kraken. Sharing the word fishing is why the search results sit together.
Nothing on either public page says the teams are the same. The daily game's about page names one independent developer who also makes Moonshot. Lion Studios is a different company on a different store listing. I do not merge their update notes.
