It was literally a "roaring" success! Mahara Brenna's enthusiasm, charisma, and energy got the entire group excited about being at Trinity, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone who needs to energize any group of people. Playfair was the climax of our entire orientation program, and Mahara brought it off with flying colors. We look forward to next year's Playfair with great anticipation. - Trinity University Robert H. McCollum, Coates Center Program Board
Playfair was a terrific hit here at the University of Delaware. We had 1700 people show up for the program, which impressed the folks here tremendously. Our Vice President for Student Life had this to say about the event: "PLAYFAIR was a huge success. It was obvious that the students were having a great time and met many new friends." I know it's early yet, but I have been instructed to let you know that we want to book PLAYFAIR again for next year. With good weather we might even go over 2000 students next year! - University of Delaware Rob Longwell-Grice, Assistant Director for Residence Life
From the first ice-breaker to the very last, it was a WONDERFUL experience. To see 350 new students interacting and having a GREAT time made the investment worth it! It was a joy to watch the faces of the participants. The usual Freshman apprehension and nervousness soon gave way to beautiful smiles and a genuine feeling of togetherness. Playfair was just what we needed to "cut the cord" with anxious parents who were hesitant about leaving their students. It had to leave them with a good feeling, to drive away, watching so much laughter and interaction. I would recommend Playfair to any school looking for a dynamite way to kick off a new school year especially their Orientation program. - Lindsey Wilson College Nancy Schnepp, Student Activities Director
Krysta, you did it again! You gave another superb performance at The University of Akron. You were an excellent kickoff to Freshman Orientation. Playfair was the talk of the campus for several days. The changes you made worked very well for the crowd and the way you seem to be able to motivate 1000 people just amazes me. It was great to have you back in Akron again. We hope to work with you again in the future! - The University of Akron Michelle Gill, Major Events Chairperson
Just a note to let you know how very pleased we were with "Playfair". We knew just a little from the video and from talking with other schools, but it really did not compare with the actual performance. As to the comments from the President on down, we have never had such an event where our students were brought together at orientation that has done so much good! - Mobile College George Adkins, Director of Student Activities

Fran DeLeon, our Playfair Facilitator, was dynamic, professional, entertaining, etc.!!!!! The program was a tremendous success, with close to 700 new students attending the program. This was a new venture for Temple University, one that I am quite certain will become an annual event! - Temple University Walter M. Brady, Director, Office of Student Activities
Once again, Playfair was a huge success for us here at CSU, and we have Ritch Davidson to thank for that. The enthusiasm that began at Playfair continued throughout last week, and our retention rate has been great. We appreciate the fine job you did; you were super to work with, and we would love to have you back. - Charleston Southern University Ann C. Welty, Student Activities Director
Playfair has proven to be a tremendous success, and this year was definitely no exception! Playfair is an important event during Welcome Week, and we rely on this time heavily to help our incoming freshmen feel comfortable in their new surroundings. We feel that Playfair is an investment in our students' campus experience, and we know that Playfair contributes positively toward making this experience extremely valuable. - Cumberland College Lynne R. Huff, Director of Campus Activities
The Playfair program was excellent! The students enjoyed and learned some valuable lessons. A program like this is important in developing the type of college experience we would like our students to have, and we look forward to bringing the program back next year. Besides, it's FUN!
