LEVEL99 OPENS JUNE 29, TICKETS GO ON SALE JUNE 22
Level99 will open at Disney Springs West Side on Monday, June 29. The venue sits next to the Drawn to Life Cirque du Soleil theater and across from House of Blues, in the space that previously held DisneyQuest and the NBA Experience.
Tickets go on sale a week earlier, on Monday, June 22, through Level99.com. The venue is positioned as a draw for adults and teens.
“We know our guests love the variety of experiences here at Disney Springs and Level99 is a perfect addition to make even more fun memories with friends and family,” said Debbie Hart, Vice President, Disney Springs. “We have over 150 ways to shop, dine and play and Level99 is adding to the experience in a big way.”
“We’re thrilled to bring Level99 to Walt Disney World Resort and share it with the millions of visitors who come to Orlando each year,” said Level99 Founder and CEO Matt DuPlessie. “As a company founded on innovation and groundbreaking themed entertainment, it is a natural fit to now be at a place built on those very same ideals. We can’t wait to welcome our first Players.”
INTRODUCING THE VELOBAND
Guests check in and receive an RFID Veloband. The wristband unlocks every challenge in the building, and the price of admission covers all of them.
Players tap the band on an entry screen to start a game, then retry as often as they like in any order. Each game runs about one to four minutes and is built for groups of two to six. Level99 saves your progress between visits, so you can pick up where you left off at any of its locations and keep climbing the leaderboard.
63 GAMES, THE MOST OF ANY LEVEL99 YET
The Disney Springs venue spans 46,800 square feet across two floors, with a two-story bar as the centerpiece. It will offer 63 total mini-games and challenges, the most of any Level99 location to date, plus more than 40 original art pieces in the company’s biggest installations yet.
There are three ways to play. Cooperative Challenge Rooms put your group against a shared puzzle, Player-vs-Player Duels pit guests against each other, and an interactive art scavenger hunt sends you searching the venue. The games span strength, dexterity, balance, and mental aptitude, and each entry screen lists skill and accessibility details for players with mobility limitations.
THE SIGNATURE GAMES COMING TO DISNEY SPRINGS
Three signature challenges will anchor the lineup. Axe Run sends players racing across a narrow beam while dodging swinging axes, with a finish button to hit as fast as possible without stepping off.
Ninja Swing tests strength and precision as players use ropes to cross a series of platforms, earning Stars based on how far the group gets without falling. Mansion Banquet casts players as a dinner party planner, racing to solve logic puzzles and seat finicky guests with the right entrée and drink before mealtime.
FOOD AND DRINK AT THE TWO-STORY BAR
Level99 brings its scratch kitchen to Disney Springs, anchored by award-winning Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers, and handcrafted cocktails with local beer on tap. Guests can order at a first-floor kitchen window, at the bar, or from satellite bar carts on the second floor.
Here is a look at some of the signature menu items coming to the location.
