One of the newest experiences at Disney Springs is getting some big industry recognition. Matt DuPlessie, founder and CEO of Level99, has been named to the blooloop 50 Immersive Influencer List for 2026, following the opening of Level99 at Disney Springs.
What Is the blooloop 50?
The blooloop 50 Immersive Influencer List recognizes the creatives, operators, designers and visionaries who are redefining immersive experiences across the attractions industry. It is an exclusive group, and Disney fans will recognize plenty of names among past honorees on blooloop’s influencer lists, including former Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger and Imagineers Joe Rohde, Scott Trowbridge and Michael Jung.
What Is Level99?
If you have not visited yet, Level99 is a whole new kind of real world social gaming. Think of it as a giant playground for adults and teens, packed with highly replayable physical and mental challenges. The games are all original, and the experience mixes in original artwork, friendly competition with your group, and food and drinks.
It is a great option at Disney Springs for families with teens, a group of friends or anyone looking for something different to do on a non park day. Level99 even made it easier for first timers to jump in, as we shared in Level99 at Disney Springs Just Made It Easier to Play With New In-Game Instructions Feature.
The Inventor of the Modern Escape Room
DuPlessie has been creating immersive experiences for years. Before Level99, he founded 5 Wits, the original escape room style attraction, which is why he is widely considered the inventor of today’s modern escape room.
Level99 is growing fast, too. By the end of 2026, Level99 will be open in five locations, with three more announced and under construction.
