Level99 Rooms [Interactive Arcade]

Level99 Rooms [Interactive Arcade]

Level99 - Disney Springs

This canā€™t be classified as an escape room but a place with several different rooms filled with mini games. Compared to other places like this the biggest issue I see is that some rooms have a very quick fail rate so you may have 5 mins in a room but could be out in 5 seconds and have to wait again in line to enter each room to just attempt again. Went for 2 hours and didnā€™t even get close to covering all the rooms they had. Had to wait about 2-10 mins per room to just enter. I wish time would pause on its own if you have to wait for a room or have a spot you can stop your time without having to wait in line. Go with a group who knows how to follow the rules of each room otherwise you could fail quickly and not fully enjoy the experience.

This is a smaller business that is extremely passionate about what they do and their rooms. There were some neat puzzles that made it feel magical. However some puzzles were layered with a bit of overthinking. Which in the minds of a builder is great, but sometimes need to minimize the about of thinking needed to solve certain puzzles. It was a small room but worked well in that space. Excited to see the new rooms they plan on opening and great to see smaller sized companies still being successful after years of being in business. Passionate owners and builders will keep these rooms exciting.

Very challenging room, that requires you to spilt up in groups in order to escape if you have more than 2 people. I have never spent so much time on one puzzle in an escape room. The puzzles are long and hard making the spilt of the team making you miss half of the room which I wasnā€™t a huge fan of. Atmosphere was cool and not a theme I have seen before. If you get cold easily dress warm even in the summer. This ā€œsideā€ of the room also used an AI but it was much more enjoyable than the other AI version.

Takes being locked in an escape room to a different level that I havenā€™t experienced before. A different start to the room as well, nice to have a change but the room is set for the max number of players so if you have less to experience is a bit different and doesnā€™t necessarily make the most sense especially since there was a lock we never got open but should have but was told to just move on. Puzzles were hard and a bit frustrating at times. Set design was nice and not a room for beginners.

After doing over 50 rooms this one takes a place in the top 5 for a few reasons. The theme being one of them. It really takes you back in time and has a very nostalgic feel. Our GM Adam was excellent and was very informative about their rooms before and afterwards which we really appreciate. The puzzles all made sense and some of the tech used was not something normally used but was old but new tech in an escape room environment. When we are back in the area we will do their other rooms!

Wow, starting off great as soon as you enter the room the game master really gets you excited for the story and ready to go. Most escape rooms donā€™t have an excited start but this one was memorable! There were different elements in the room we were not used to which made for a unique experience. We did get stuck on a puzzle towards the end but that was our own fault for overthinking it. This is a room worth experiencing if you are in the area!
