Level99 (Natick, Mass.), an interactive social gaming venue, announced plans to open its newest outpost at The Corbin Collection in West Hartford, Conn., in late 2025. The club will be housed in a portion of the former Sears store in the recently renovated shopping complex.

“Level99 offers social, physical, mental and skill-based challenges in an open-world environment,” said CEO Matt DuPlessie. “Players are encouraged to explore the art-saturated environment and chart their own play path. Whether for date night, getting together with a group of friends, or a whole-facility rental for corporate team events, the combination of memorable, active fun, delicious dining and craft beverages has generated a lot of excitement in our first markets of Boston and Providence. We look forward to welcoming residents and visitors from the West Hartford area to discover all that Level99 has to offer.”

The Level99 complex at The Corbin Collection will have about 43,000 square feet of space and will be able to accommodate up to 600 players in its gaming arena and 250 guests in its adjoining restaurant, Two Roads Kitchen and Tap.

The Corbin Collection location will be Level99’s fourth location, following the planned opening of its third site at Tysons Corner, Va., next year as well. (Its existing locales are in Natick and Providence, R.I.) Additional locations are in the works for 2026.

DuPlessie came up the idea for Level99 after 20 years of running 5 Wits, an interactive entertainment company. DuPlessie’s production company, Box Fort, is now a part of Level99 and designs, engineers and programs the gaming facilities.
