Disney4me Posted yesterday at 05:21 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:21 PM Disney FINALLY announced what will be replacing the former NBA experience at Disney Springs — LEVEL99! Future home of LEVEL99 We know what you might be thinking, “A what now?” which is why we’re here to share everything we know about this interactive, social entertainment experience. The Disney Springs location will be LEVEL99’s fifth, but first in Florida — and we’re pretty darn excited about it! LEVEL99 is a destination for “real-world, challenge-based, social entertainment” for adults featuring over 50 physical and mental challenges set in artistic environments. It’s essentially a giant, futuristic arcade and entertainment center. ©LEVEL99 The Disney Springs location will be the largest LEVEL99 to date with over 60 challenge rooms and duels. It will occupy over 45,000 square feet in a two-story space (which we’re assuming is the former NBA Experience) and will feature dining with a chef-crafted menu — including LEVEL99’s award-winning, Detroit-style pizza. ©LEVEL99 While we don’t know a ton of details about the Disney Springs location specifically — like whether there will be any Disney theming or kid-friendly games — we’ve taken a look at what some of the current locations are like to get an idea of what we might be in store for, and we think we’re going to like it! What is LEVEL99? According to LEVEL99‘s website, the goal of your experience is to “work with your friends to discover new challenges, collect all the stars, find digital treasure and master new experiences.” Think of it like an escape room, an obstacle course, and an arcade all wrapped into one — with hand-crafted food and drinks to boot. What kind of games are there? There are three different types of games at the existing LEVEL99 locations: Rooms, Duels, and Art Hunts. You can see a little about each type below: Rooms are cooperative games to be explored, played, and conquered by teams of 2-6 players. Each room is a unique experience, falling into our PHYSICAL, SKILL, or MENTAL categories. Physical rooms will test your strength, balance, and flexibility. Skill rooms will test your accuracy, timing, and reflexes. Mental rooms will test your memory, problem-solving, spatial thinking… and more! Duels are head-to-head challenges found throughout the Arena. Challenge a friend and lay it all on the line in one of our 7 (rather public) competitive challenges. Art Hunts are a low-key scavenger hunt involving the playful art found all throughout the space. Each piece of art contains a hidden Glyph. Completing Art Hunts is the surest way of seeing and exploring every inch of our bright and whimsical wonderland, so make sure to complete them while you’re “rehydrating” in your downtime between games. ©LEVEL99 How do you play? When you go to get your tickets, you’ll create an account that will eventually be linked to a wristband that will give you access to all of the games. You’ll tap your “Veloband” anywhere you see the LEVEL99 logo to get started. The rooms are designed to be played again and again, and they’re challenging — so if you get stumped at first, don’t worry. ©LEVEL99 Team performance impacts the rewards you earn, and you can level up your account, and earn fragments which can be redeemed for snacks, perks, Emblem customizations, swag, and more! Top players get featured on the Leaderboards for all to see. LEVEL99 is designed to keep you coming back, so hardly anyone is able to play through the over 50 challenges available in each venue. Do you need reservations? Reservations aren’t required for the existing LEVEL99 locations, though buying your tickets in advance is strongly encouraged. It’s possible the Disney Springs location will be a bit busier and therefore more strict about reservations, but only time will tell. What ages is LEVEL99 for? Technically, there is no age restriction for LEVEL99, but it is billed as an “adult playground” on their website. We’re not sure if this might change since this location will be in Disney World, but according to LEVEL99, many of the games are physically and mentally demanding, and younger children may struggle to complete them. ©LEVEL99 The current LEVEL99 locations are recommended for ages 10 and up, with those younger needing to be accompanied by an adult. Kids ages 11 to 15 will need to have an adult present in the venue and reachable by cell phone, but they don’t need to stay with them at all times. What else should you know? LEVEL99 recommends wearing comfortable clothing including closed-toed shoes and athletic wear, since some of the challenges can be pretty physically demanding. The website suggests to wear something you can run, jump, crawl, and climb in” and that baggy clothes will only slow you down. ©LEVEL99 In addition, over half of the games at the current LEVEL99 locations are accessible and have been built specifically to accommodate wheelchairs. And, there is also accessibility information at the entrance to each room that gives guidance for players with hearing, vision, or mobility impairment, so that those players can choose the best experiences for them. ©LEVEL99 As of now, an official opening date or timeline has not been announced, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for more. In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for the latest updates about LEVEL99.
