What People Are Saying

The Keep It Real Diverse Rx2 game is a wonderful engagement tool, in which even the most resistant people open up to one another within moments. Playing this game helps people to experience one another in deep and meaningful ways. It lowers defenses and opens hearts and minds, facilitating understanding, new learning, and empathy.

"This is such a great game that breaks through race, gender and religious barriers."

Jonathan Vascones, CUNY Queens College Representative

"Keep It Real Diverse experience was mind boggling in a weird amazing way! I never in a million years thought I’d answer questions exactly how I was feeling with complete strangers (I might add that are now colleagues) This game allows you not only to find an inner connection with others but then again with yourself. It’s refreshing to know that it’s ok to be who you were made to be, imperfections and all. Everyone comes from someplace different and no one walks in the same two shoes! I highly recommend this game as a team builder, ice breaker if you’re trying to work on building a family dynamic over just having a team atmosphere."

Kelsey Herbig; Rockhurst University; HR Generalist (Recruitment & Training & Development)

"I whole heartedly endorse the Keep It Real Diverse game. I facilitated a Keep It Real Diverse game training with 70 of my R.A.s, many of whom have reported that this game is the best tool they have ever used. Why? Because especially for new students who don’t know anyone, Keep It Real gives them the chance to tell their story and for other people to hear them with full, undivided attention. They listen deeply to one another; that is what is missing for many young people. I have facilitated Diversity trainings, preparation for academic achievement trainings and more with this game, always with superlative results."

Cheryl Hinton, Stevenson University

“The Keep It Real game allowed me to search deeper inside myself to find meaning in many of the things I do. The game creatively asks the questions that most people are too intimidated to ask, boldly unmasks truths that desperately need to be revealed, and enlightens the mind. The Keep It Real game harbors a magic that changes people… and will one day change the world.”

Whitney Lawrence, Promoter

"Keep It Real isn't just a board game -- it is a FUN, COMPASSIONATE, JAW-DROPPING and INTELLECTUAL way of life. Each space on the board represents a unique opportunity to discuss serious issues such as relationships, bullying and religion, and lighthearted ones such as pop culture, superpower wishes, and dreams. The action cards are HILARIOUS, prompting seemingly shy and ordinary people to get out of their seats and DANCE, SCREAM, TWIRL, and make NOISE. Keep It Real is perfect for students striving to discover themselves in a world brimming with diverse ideas, Keep It Real never fails to deliver an adventure in a comfortable and judge free zone. I promise you that Keep It Real will LITERALLY change your life."

Brian Kateman, Jeanette K. Watson Fellow

"Throughout playing Keep It Real people learn to listen to others while gaining the comfort and courage to speak and know that others are listening to them. This is such a great game that breaks through race, gender and religious barriers. As a student leader on my campus I use this game each semester as new members join my various organizations."

"From start to finish, I felt like it was a really moving experience, especially because when we started off we were really uncomfortable with each other. We were not sure it was a safe place. But we grew to be comfortable with each other. And it goes to show that when you start opening up, and when you’re able to talk about things…it makes the entire environment more comfortable."
