Can you dodge an axe?<\/p>\n

North Carolina\u2019s first Level99 will open in Crabtree Valley<\/a> sometime in 2027, bringing more than 50 interactive games in a massive 40,000 square foot space. The planned Level99 is being built in the former Belk Men\u2019s department store, as new Crabtree owners Macerich revamp the beloved Raleigh mall.<\/p>\n

\u201cRaleigh and the Research Triangle\u2019s momentum, growth, and vibrant community make it the ideal home for this one-of-a-kind destination,\u201d Macerich executive Bunyan said in a release. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming Level99 as Crabtree becomes its first venue in North Carolina, marking an exciting new chapter for the property.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raleigh\u2019s location will be the third Level99 in the country, following gaming complexes in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Northern Virginia. Three more Level99s are also planned for the next year, the company said, including one near Disney World Resort.<\/p>\n

Level99 looks to build on the Triangle\u2019s \u201ceatertainment\u201d trend<\/a> in a big way, bringing the most extensive gaming options of any new entertainment complex in the region. Among the games to expect, there is an axe-dodging guantlet, immersive puzzles and scavenger hunts. There will be more than 50 life-size interactive games on site.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrabtree is exactly the kind of vibrant, high-traffic destination where Level99 can thrive,\u201d said Matt DuPlessie, founder and CEO of Level99 in a release. \u201cWe are excited to partner with Macerich again following our successful opening in Tysons Corner and open our first North Carolina venue together in Raleigh at Crabtree. Crabtree\u2019s redevelopment makes this an ideal moment to bring our real-world play and scratch-made dining to the Triangle, and we cannot wait for the community to see what we are all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the food side, Level99 will have a 200 seat dining room a bar with 24 seats and two private event spaces.<\/p>\n

Based on the Tysons Corner location in Northern Virginia, the food menu includes snacks like gourmet popcorn and nachos, Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers, birria tacos and fresh salads. There will also be a full cocktail bar, plus beer and wine.<\/p>\n
