Challenge the way you think about racism and look at life through someone else’s eyes. Take the Everyday Racism challenge and experience what life can be like for ethnic and cultural minorities in Australia who face subtle forms of racism every day. Everyday Racism is an immersive game played out over seven days, giving you an insight into the racial issues many face in Australia. Choose from one of three characters: a Muslim woman, an indigenous man or an Indian student, and for the next seven days you’ll receive simulated texts, tweets, images and videos as though you were them. How will you respond? How will it make you feel? Can you handle it? The game also gives you the opportunity to play as yourself, where you’ll witness incidents of racism and their effect on people around you. The game has been produced by All Together Now in association with the University of Western Sydney, The University of Melbourne and Deakin University. All Together Now is an independent Australian not-for-profit organisation. We aim to prevent racism by promoting racial equity through education.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bugz at 100% against Everyday Racism's 34%. Everyday Racism's advantage is rating (2.8 vs 2.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Everyday Racism holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everyday Racism has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Everyday Racism's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bugz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Everyday Racism ships an update every 5 months, Bugz every 30 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
