### 4/5 — Fun with a down side

*2026-03-15, version 2.02*

It was really fun, but it made my phone die really fast, which kind of took the fun out of it because I had to carry a battery pack to keep my phone charged.

### 5/5 — They don’t call it “The Great Game” for nothing!

*2025-08-04, version 1.95*

Thought this was a really fun, interactive way for both “new” and “seasoned” students, staff, and faculty to get involved with the college and community.  Keep up the “great” work!!!
