↩ replying to ToTBellHopThis will be a major fail if they stick to that. This concept could easily be adapted to include more family oriented games.

Asking Perplexity AI...
what ages is level99 good for?
Answer
Level99 is primarily designed for adults, with the ideal age being over 21 due to its bar component. However, older children can participate if accompanied by an adult. The games and challenges are generally considered too difficult for younger kids, as they require a level of physical and mental engagement that may not be suitable for them134.
Here’s a summary of the age suitability:
Over 21: Ideal demographic due to the bar setting and complexity of games.
Ages 13-29: May enjoy the experience if they are accompanied by an adult, but the games are not specifically tailored for them.
Below 13 years old: Generally not recommended, as most challenges may be too challenging both physically and mentally134.
In conclusion, while Level99 can accommodate older kids in the presence of adults, it is primarily targeted towards an adult audience. /end
Maybe... Level99 would add more children-oriented tasks for the Disney crowds. Based on the layout of the NBA building, everything would have to be redesigned to fit. Can't just clone the layout.

↩ replying to danlb_2000Agreed. It’s a concept that would have made sense at Pleasure Island but they abandoned that. At Disney Springs, this could confuse people. It’s not a concept that would inherently work with 3-year olds yet they’ll need families if they want 1000 people in here all the time.
I think it will need to be a bit more like Dave and Buster’s than their other locations.

↩ replying to Agent HI can't say for sure, but if you want to be surrounded by them, just visit a new hotel like Terra Luna on opening day (3/25).
For that matter, just about any opening event will do, like the first day of any Epcot festival, or opening day of any Lake Buena Vista/Universal area hotel. Marriott has a big new property opening sometime in March, that's sure to draw a few.
There are now a LOT of them, so it is a bit surreal to be surrounded by people who are filming/narrating everything they are doing.
I'm sure the opening of Level99 will also be a draw!

↩ replying to tnemgifSo you've spent a minimum of $72 and you've almost won a snack and a water bottle? Yeah, that isn't going to work well with vacationing families.
Like I said previously - I applaud the effort to bring something different to this space and the DS area in general. But the more I read about it, the more I'm apprehensive about its long-term success.

Oops, my cut and paste from Perplexity left out the age ranges. I corrected it. In short:
For over 21.
Can be OK for 13-20 if accompanied by an adult.
Under 13: Not recommended.

↩ replying to MisterPenguinThe idea that 18-20 is okay, "if accompanied by an adult." Wow. I get you can't order drinks at the bar. But still.

↩ replying to JohnDPerhaps the margin on alcoholic drinks is what keeps the lights on.

↩ replying to MisterPenguinI get that DS caters to a different crowd than the theme parks, but this seems like it could be a problem

↩ replying to HauntedPirateIf you’re going with the expectation of winning a prize, then yes, you’ll be disappointed. But this is really just a bonus that I think Level99 uses to get customers to come back. They don’t advertise prizes as a main feature. If you go to an arcade just to win tootsie rolls then yeah, you’re setting yourself up to fail.
I think everyone on this board who has been to Level99 has had overwhelmingly positive things to say about it.
Regarding the age questions, the Natick location has over 50 experiences. Some of them are brutal for even the most athletic adults. If you don’t enjoy an experience, you lose and move on to another. There is no order of experiences and you don’t have to do any that don’t seem fun to you. So it can be as family friendly as you make it.

↩ replying to Tha RealestYeah—too many WDW groups have at least one person under 13. Seems like a bad fit unless they adjust down to age 7 or so.
