Pure Rush vs NetSupport Browser

Pure Rush is a fun and engaging way to learn about illegal drugs. There are only 2 tickets left for the music festival and time is running out… Race through suburban, outback and cityscapes but beware! You'll have to avoid illegal drugs and their effects to get there as fast as possible. Pure Rush offers a unique interactive approach to drug education. Players navigate through four Australian-themed levels, learning as they do about the potential harms associated with drug use. Avoiding drugs is the key to success as players race for the best “Pure Rush” time. During focus testing, feedback from students aged 14-17 indicated they found the game enjoyable, age-appropriate, and found the information presented useful and understandable. Secondary teachers will find this app useful in supporting their Health and Physical Education lessons.
