63 Games and a Two-Story Bar: Level99 Opens in the Old DisneyQuest Building at Disney Springs
Level99 has opened on the Disney Springs West Side with 63 physical and mental challenge games across two floors, an RFID wristband system that tracks scores between visits, and a two-story bar serving Detroit-style pizza. Tickets start at $29.99 for a 1.5-hour block. The venue takes over the building that housed the NBA Experience and, before that, DisneyQuest.

Level99 has opened on the West Side of Disney Springs with 63 physical and mental challenge games spread across two floors, a two-story bar in the middle of it, and tickets starting at $29.99. It fills a building that has sat mostly unused since 2020, and before that housed one of Walt Disney World's most-missed attractions.

The Buzz
- Fox 35 Orlando got inside ahead of opening day, and the walkthrough spread fast among Walt Disney World regulars.
- Part of the reason is the address. This is the old DisneyQuest and NBA Experience building, and fans have been asking what would happen to it for six years.
How a visit works
Check-in gets each player an RFID wristband called a Veloband. Tapping it on the screen outside a game unlocks that game and pulls up the hints and instructions, and from there the order is entirely up to the group. There is no set route through the building.
Every game is included in admission, and within the booked window players can retry anything as many times as they want. Time can be paused for a break or a trip to the bar, which matters more than it sounds when the shortest ticket is 90 minutes.
What the games actually are
Most are built inside individual challenge rooms, with a handful of two-player duels out in the open areas. Each has its own name and theme, and they test different things: agility, speed, memory, logic. Most are timed and run between one and four minutes.
A few of the standouts give a sense of the range. The Axe Run, one of the venue's most popular games, is a solo challenge that asks players to cross a narrow beam while large axes swing past. Mansion Banquet is a brain game where the clock runs while players seat a dinner table according to each guest's requests. Starship Specimen splits the difference, sending players after alien samples with scoops to transfer into canisters before time expires. Space Void has players covering lit sensors on the floors and walls in sequence, which lands somewhere close to a space-themed Twister.
There is also a scavenger hunt threaded through the building using more than 40 pieces of original artwork.
Scoring is built for repeat visits
Level99 designs its own games in house and rotates new concepts into its venues, and the scoring system assumes players will come back. Progress is tracked against the wristband so scores carry across visits.
"So each game you could win and get a one-star, two-star or three-star outcome, or you could fail and have to try again. So people are getting better at rooms, developing their skills, building their strategy with their team, whether it's a very physical room like an obstacle course or a very mental logic puzzle." Matt DuPlessie, founder of Level99
Detroit-style pizza and a two-story bar
The bar sits at the center of the venue and runs both floors. The kitchen's signature item is Detroit-style pizza, sold as a slab of two squares or a whole of six. The rest of the menu covers Bavarian pretzels, Korean BBQ sticky wings, birria street tacos, chopped Caesar salad, chilled Shanghai noodles, a house burger with wagyu beef, and a grilled chicken sandwich.
Cocktails include an Express Martini and a Hibiscus Old Fashioned, with zero-proof options such as the Pineapple Banana Painkiller and the Paloma. Orders can go through the bar or a dedicated order and pickup window, and beverage carts are scattered around the building.
The building has history
The space most recently held the NBA Experience, which opened in 2019, closed in March 2020 during the pandemic, and never reopened. Before that it was DisneyQuest, the five-story indoor interactive venue of arcade cabinets, virtual reality rides, and CyberSpace Mountain that ran from 1998 until its closure in 2017. For a certain generation of Walt Disney World visitor, this is one of the more sentimental addresses on property.
Disney Springs is Level99's fourth United States location and its largest, and the company used the extra square footage to fit in more games than its other venues. More locations are planned over the next year.
What this means for guests
Disney Springs has plenty to eat and plenty to buy, but the West Side has been short on things to actually do since DisneyQuest closed. Level99 is aimed squarely at adults and teens, prices in under a park ticket, and works as an evening plan rather than a full day, which fits how most people use Disney Springs anyway.
"Disney Springs is a perfect fit for us in terms of the energy here, the consumer base that's very physically active, mentally active, socially active. They want to get out, put down their phones, get out and do something real, whether they're here on vacation or they're a local." Matt DuPlessie, founder of Level99
Reservations are the safer play given the timed entry model, though walk-ups are available when there is room.
