"Playfair is one of the most effective student participatory events that we have used during orientation.

Our first year students arrive nervous, a bit frightened and alone or with a small circle of students, the majority leave confident, excited and energized with an attitude to interact with their fellow students.”

"I would highly recommend Playfair as a great event for any Orientation Program.
The event brought students from all backgrounds together in a fun, inclusive and non threatening atmosphere and had everyone smiling for the entire program.
It was the perfect message to end our orientation program and it was picked as one of the best events of the week by many leaders and students.

Playfair inspires students to get involved, support each other and work hard in a unique, interactive program that has everyone smiling and laughing. This event will make any orientation program more impactful and enjoyable for your incoming class."

Playfair helps the college and the first-year students to set the momentum for the rest of the school year. The activities are interactive, non-threatening and inclusive.
The set-up for the event is minimum and it’s a terrific way to include student leaders and staff together in an event that promotes all the values that go with an academically "healthy" community."

"We book Playfair every year for frosh week and it never lets us down. The students rave about having such a great time and getting a chance to meet about a thousand other people!
