The interactive social gaming venue’s fourth and largest location to date offers 63 mini-games and challenges
Lake Buena Vista, Fla., –
Level99, the much-anticipated real-world social gaming venue, welcomed the first guests to its new location at Disney Springs West Side at Walt Disney World Resort today.
The massive, two-story playground designed for adults and teens features 63 life-sized mini-games and challenges. Players can dodge axes, crack puzzles and outsmart real-world challenges while surrounded by more than 40 pieces of original artwork, from murals to life-size sculptures.
“After all the planning and preparation, it is such a rewarding moment to open our doors and have Players in the venue,” said Level99 Founder and CEO Matt DuPlessie. “Being able to add a bit more joy to The Most Magical Place on Earth is quite literally a dream come true.”
Level99 features three ways to play: cooperative Challenge Rooms designed for 2-6 Players; competitive Player-vs-Player Duels; and an interactive art scavenger hunt. Every Level99 game is unique and designed by the company’s dedicated game designers. They are active, social and endlessly re-playable, with each lasting 1-4 minutes. A variety of different skill sets and abilities are required across the numerous games, from strength to dexterity to balance to mental aptitude, ensuring a challenge for every type of Player.
The game continues beyond one visit: Level99 saves Players’ progress, allowing them to pick up where they left off when they return to any of Level99’s venues for their next visit, so they can continue climbing the leaderboard and earning rewards.
Beyond the games, Players can fuel up with a full selection of scratch food and beverage options offering imaginative flavors and making the familiar fantastic with uncompromising commitment to culinary excellence. Menu items include Level99’s award-winning Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers and other craveable bites as well as handcrafted cocktails and local beer selections on tap. Players can order via a first-floor kitchen window; at the central bar; or pick-up beverages on bar carts stationed on the second floor.
Art is a key element of creating a unique environment at each Level99 venue and providing a complete sensory adventure. On walls, through hallways, and even on the ceilings, guests encounter giant murals, sculptures, animations and other larger-than-life visual pieces. The art transports Players into a vibrant, energetic setting.
Each location features original artwork installed by the artists themselves with easter eggs, awe-inspiring moments and humorous surprises integrated throughout. The Disney Springs location features more than 40 pieces of original artwork, showcasing the largest installations at any Level99 location to date.
Tickets to Level99 start at $29.99 per Player, providing intervals of 1.5 and 2.5 hours of play. A premium pass add-on is available, offering expedited check-in and special gifts.
Located next to the Drawn to Life Cirque du Soleil theater and across from House of Blues, Level99 adds to the growing list of dining, shopping and entertainment options at Disney Springs, which features more than 150 shops, restaurants and family-friendly leisure activities. The Disney Springs location is the fourth Level99 location, including sites in Natick, Mass., Providence, R.I., and Tysons, Va. and four other locations under construction in West Hartford, Connecticut, King of Prussia, Pa. Paramus, N.J. and Raleigh, N.C. Guests can follow Level99 on Instagram at @golevel99.
