Very cool store has a wide variety of things to see. There were board games, video games, cards, comic books/manga, and dnd items and areas for tournaments

Great comic store to have a pull list set up. Seems like a great place for tabletop and card games, people always in there playing when I pick up my books. Big used video games selection too. Friendly staff that's helpful as well.

Omg, I loved this shop! The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about their products and events! They are willing to help and make themselves available. They sell a range of products that is astounding! Everything from comics to Sega Games to t-shirts, figurines, Magic The Gathering cards, and more! I will be back for more soon! I played Commander for Magic The Gathering tonight for free, and it was fun! I bought two of their t-shirts and they're so comfy to wear! The designs are cute and nerdy. Support local y'all!

The Minneapolis location was extremely welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our short visit to pop in and check it out! The space is clearly loved and all of the staff / other customers were very friendly. Would recommend popping in!

Amazing little underground shop. They have a ton of stuff and had games going on when we stopped in. Found some cards for a deck I'm building and they even found me a Fleecemane Lion I needed from behind the counter. Awesome workers and vibes. 10/10 would recommend. Hope I can make it back some day.

Went here right before close, and the person working was still kind and answered multiple questions for me. I was looking for a TTRPG that they didn’t have, and he directed me to their other location which was helpful! I only got some dice, but will be back when it’s not close to closing so I can look at comics and other RPG items. This was also my first time in a store like this. I am new to the RPG world, and noticed they have events that I’ll have to look into. They seemed very welcoming!

Devastated that I got there and couldn't go in because there was no accessible way in, but all my friends who could use stairs had a wonderful time in there. Found a great selection and even brought me a nice cold beverage to beat the heat while I waited for them. I see in pictures online and street view its underground, but when a bunch of us out of towners went - none of us had ever been in a game store in a basement like that before because shops with outdoor staircases to basements aren't common in our areas. Should've done my research. Hope someday theres an accessible way down there too.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Didn't have what I was looking for comicswise but I would definitely go for games if I get the chance to go again

I love this place and have followed them to so many locations. Parking can be a beast at some points of the day or week here but it's worth it to visit Level Up. I can't tell you how many other comic shops I've stopped at that don't have what I need but since Level Up is smaller they always have what I want in stock (you think it would be the opposite!) Games have become more costly as the years go on but that's normal for everything we purchase. I sadly don't trade in much anymore since they were oversaturated with PS4's when I was selling mine but my past experiences have been great and they were always my go to for new games I was on the hunt for - I love supporting them! Over the years they have recommended books that I've fallen in love with and always have fun board games to choose from if I'm looking for fun gifts. A staple place in the Cities for me for sure, staff are always so kind and helpful.

Really lovely gamestore with a wide variety of things to look at from boardgames, manga/comics, and rows and rows of magic cards to go through, it can be a little warm but hey, the staff working there are also very warm and friendly! They also host DnD every Thursday as well!

This is one of the nicest game store, actually one of the nicest specialty stores I have ever been in. The staff was super friendly, the sections were clean and organized, and it had decent gaming table (2) areas. This is a small local chain and they are doing it up right. I visited about 5 comic, gaming, and figure shops over the weekend having fun with my nephew. This was the best overall, only one in coon rapids was friendlier. But both were fantastic in different ways. Wish I had a gamer store this nice in Boston. You should check it out.

Very Nice employees! I went there to look at dnd stuff and they showed directly to the stuff I was looking for. They were very nice recommending what I should buy! Definitely would come here again!!!

Great place with friendly employees. Retro game selection isn't overly vast and has many more PS2 / PS3 games s than anything really retro.

I love visiting Level Up Games. It's one of my favorite game stores in MPLS that hosts events and has a good variety of cards, video games, comics, and board games. You'll find a new favorite for your game night or a classic to gift to a friend. The staff is knowledgeable and able to provide great recommendations so be sure to ask!

My boyfriend and I stopped by this shop, as he is a huge MTG fan and we play a lot of board games. Pretty cool shop, wish we lived close because the employees (most likely the owners) were super friendly just like our card shop back home!

Level Up Games is a great independent game shop. They have something for everyone including board games, table top games, video games, and trading card games. The space is cozy, tucked in the basement of a building near Loring Park. They even have a room with tables for you to hang out and play a game, including many demo copies of games they keep in house. You might expect prices to be high at a local place like this, but many of they games are priced lower than MSRP. The staff is very friendly as well.If you're in to games at all, I highly recommend you stop by. (They will be adding a coffee shop to the store soon, opening date not yet announced)

Parking a little tough but a neat store with lots of playspace, more than you'd expect, got a great deal on a gold Scoop Up Net

We really love this store. Firstly the atmosphere in here is really cool. The store physically looks fantastic. Secondly, the staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful. They also have a great selection of Magic The Gathering (the most organized individual card selection I've ever seen), board games, comics and RPG's. Also, their prices are consistently better than any larger store I've seen and even better than many online prices. We will be picking up a retro game system from here in the next few weeks and can't wait to go back in!

Awesome little game store in the heart of Minneapolis, cozy atmosphere and knowledgeable staff! Madeline is great, and she makes great recommendations! Worth checking out if you're in the area or looking for a new regular hangout.

Obsessed with this place. All around a fantastic gaming shop. Anything from magic to retro collect to board games and merch. The workers are incredibly knowledgeable to help you find what you need and don't hesitate to recommend somewhere else if they can't accommodate. They have daily events and listen/response to requests for events. They have great relationships with the gaming community and are incredibly knowledgeable with so many aspects of the gaming world. I can't praise this place enough and am willing to travel to Minneapolis just to give them business because they are so phenomenal.
