WSI AquaDash vs AgriEscape

WSI AquaDash is a fun ‘Endless Runner’ game that’s not just easy to learn and great fun to play, but will also remind Players to ‘make safety second nature’ when swimming outdoors. Players control ‘Splash’ the bear as he navigates the joys and pitfalls of outdoor swimming. Choose between a Beach or River/Lakeside setting and help Splash collect points by adhering to Safety Flags, collecting Lifejackets, taking Swimming Lessons or calling 112 for Emergency Services, while avoiding jeopardies that include Fast Currents, Murky Water, drifting Junk, Rip Currents, or simply staying in the water too long! If Splash does encounter difficulties, his wise friend ‘River’, the otter reminds him through questions on ‘best safety practices’ for safe swimming outdoors, with correct answers required for the Player to continue their journey. The game has been developed as a part of the Primary Aquatics Water Safety (‘PAWS’) programme for schools, and is presented by ‘Water Safety Ireland’, the statutory, voluntary body and registered charity established to promote Water Safety and reduce drownings in Ireland.

AgriKids and Irish Rural Link presents ‘AgriEscape’, an exciting, fast-paced mobile game designed for children, helping them to learn vital farm safety tips while they play. In this colourful and fun Endless Runner, players navigate through various farm environments—like the Farm Yard, Cattle Shed, Hay Shed, Field, and Orchard —encountering realistic hazards and collecting special power-ups along the way. The goal? Stay alert and stay safe, as you reach a higher score by dodging obstacles and survive the many potential dangers of a modern working farm! Each environment change keeps the game fresh and challenging, while key farm safety messages are woven into the gameplay, teaching children important lessons about staying aware and safe around potential dangers on the farm. Kindly supported by both the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine, and by Flogas, it’s lots of fun, so join the adventure, test your reflexes, and see how well you can do when faced with the many challenges of a modern farm!
