    I went to their Blaine location off of 125th & Central Ave. I heard about this store when I visited…read morewith my husband regarding selling old consoles. At the time, my husband just wanted to get rid of his old console and would be happy with any amount he made. The store has a wide selection of video games for a variety of consoles. But I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon alone with a mission: Magic the Gathering cards. I was looking for Innistrad bundle set (2021), which they did not have. The shopkeeper led me to a small section of the store and they have very limited trading card games available. They had the draft set booster for way over the market price. They had it listed for $139 when TCGPlayer has brand new, factory sealed for $78, and have median pricing ~$103. Maybe it was because I was passive or didn't do in-depth research prior, but I felt hostility from the shopkeeper - like he needed me to make a decision and buy something despite they said they didn't have the bundle set I was looking for or get out. They stood by me as I processed what I should do since they didn't have the bundle set I was looking for. I simply thanked them for their time and left.

    visited hi-score for the first time today with my partner and what an amazing selection of games…read moreand movies and accessories! i was so delighted and had so much fun going through all of the handheld console accessories! they have so many amazing cases for the nintendo ds, switch, and even gamecube! the staff were so kind and the prices here were amazing, too! you've got to check this place out and skip gamestop and amazon.

    My husband and I checked this place due to our friend's recommendation. Recently, I got into Magic…read morethe Gathering (MTG). I bought a bundle gift set of an older MTG and wanted to get some card sleeves. It was a Wednesday evening when we arrived and people were playing MTG. They have quite of bit of MTG single cards on display. The owner, Tony was working at the time. He was very professional, friendly, and patient. I'm saying patience because my husband took forever to make a decision on what booster set he wanted to purchase! I think it is fairly priced. They also have Pokemon, Lorcana, different play mats, and more. We will definitely be back for more trading card game needs!

    The Workers/Owners I believe maybe Husband and Wife. I didn't catch the Girls name but the dude…read morename was Tony Super Chilax took my son in to buy single Pokémon cards and they both was very nice to me and my son. My son was super excited to be inside there business. Anyone with kids Who love Pokémon I definitely say bring your kids here they'll take care of them. Kids can be very hard to deal with I know I'm in the Customer Service field But Tony was super Patient with my son so was his co worker maybe his wife inside but yeah great great store bring your kids spend Money here keep mom and pops shop going.

    It's not every day you stumble across a video game store with the old school cool stuff like ATARI,…read moreSEGA, etc. The front of the store was current console games, and the further back you went, the further back in history you went... to the 1990's, the 1980's... I grew up in that era so I was stoked to see so many old familiar titles on display. I will say the place felt almost more like a museum or a hobbyist's den than a store, lol. Not a lot of obvious price tags on much of the older stuff; clearly if you were interested in purchasing, you'd need to get the help of an employee. Most of it was either behind glass or on an inaccessible shelf as well. Which makes a certain sense, because these are collector's pieces at this point that require careful handling. You don't want any kid wandering in and messing with a game cartridge worth $100+. I didn't buy anything while there, but it was really fun to marvel and take it all in like a sightseer, or time traveler haha. It was a pretty large store (at least double the footprint than GameStop) and there were plenty of fun decorations on the walls or hanging from the ceiling. Lots of arcade cabinets and such. Anyway, they must be doing okay because this is their newest secondary location. I'll have to stop by the original in Shakopee sometime.

    Has potential, but poor decisions hold it back…read more I have been to this store to a few times because I was already in the mall. When you walk in for the first time you are wowed by the amount of games and variety of items they have. Any gamer or nerd would love looking at their inventory. The problem is NOTHING IS PRICED. My biggest pet peeve is when stores do not price items. Do you expect me to come to the front and ask you the price on a bunch of games? It makes zero sense. You lost a customer because of it. There were probably 20 games I was interested in getting prices for but I am not waiting that long for an employee to look them up and give me market or above market price (according to other reviews). I am sure they have lost many customers because they want to save a few bucks on market fluctuations. Stupid business decisions will cripple stores like this. I think the funniest part is the only thing in the store that's price is their trading cards. I don't care if stores price their Pokemon above MSRP. It's the norm now, it doesn't bother me, but when you can't price a $10 game but you are over TCG/Ebay on trading cards it makes you laugh. The employees/owners seem so uninterested in talking to people. There was a guy in front of us trying to get some info and they acted like it was a bother. This store has amazing potential. A clean store layout with great inventory is a recipe for success but when you pair it with dumb decisions and bad customer service you will lose many returning customers that could have spent thousands in your store. I'll continue to stop by when I'm in the mall hoping things change.

    To whom it may concern…read more.. My partner and I moved into the neighborhood around April of last year. This was our first time living in the big city and luckily was able to find an apartment pretty quickly and that so happened to be right across the street from your store Level Up Games. As avid gamers and MTG players this was a great resource to have and a safe space to meet new people, make friends, and establish ourselves in the community. After my partner had been going on Wednesdays to MTG night for a while he learned that you all provided free DND sessions to anyone that wanted to break into table top games. This was something out of my comfort zone and I had been going through a emotional transition from this being my first big move away from home and everyone I used to know to moving here and kind of having to start over essentially. It was hard for me. My partner found this outlet for us to explore together and it started out great we were going regularly every week, we were learning something new, and having fun doing it. Eventually we were going enough that we had made a couple of really good friends there. Unfortunately there ended up being a situation where my partner had to endure a few instances of racism directed towards him by one of the DMs of the Mead Halls Mightiest at Level Up Games. It started off with small things like, speaking up with corrections only when my partner had any input, making back handed insults about his intelligence, also putting handicaps on character creation where other people did not. This lead into more intense behavior such as avoiding DMing sessions in which he would be at the table, isolating him and his friend group to were they had to play sessions only with themselves, and defaming his personal character to the other DMs to cause a rift of distrust in order to get rid of him. This had been going on for a while and after one session were there where some content where we were trying to get some elementals vacation time to visit their families because this Spa owner had them sign a contract were they had to work for her forever. Anyways, this lead to a huge argument where my partner called them out and asked what their problem was. They went on to explain that it was because he makes other people playing the game uncomfortable. They had went on the explain that in one instance he had copied their charter creations in order to make the same kind of character. He also was accused of in acting what seemed like sexual assault on an NPC. Their words Ver Batam. This of course is in accusation of the only African American that comes to these things and this was the only DM that ever had a problem with my partner. This lead with the head of the Mead Hall backing all their lies and instead of promoting a safe space of equally and inclusion they kicked us out and tried banning us from the store in which they had no power. In conclusion we thought leaving Tennessee would mean less racism and more acceptance, but turns out racism is everywhere and you have to keep your eyes out and not turn a blind eye. It's a shame you don't have leaders of the Mead Hall that can be bold enough to hold down the principals of your establishment. Dungeons and Dragons is a game that accepts everyone no matter where you come from, what you look like, what race or sexuality you are. It's a shame that it wasn't reflected at your establishment due to a small few. Thank you.

    I love this place and have followed them to so many locations. Parking can be a beast at some…read morepoints 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.

    I'm honestly torn writing this because this place has been a part of my life for as long as I can…read moreremember. I've been going to this hobby store since the 1980s when I was just a kid, going there with my late father. It was one of those places that helped build a lifelong love for RC cars and the hobby itself. Now, decades later, I genuinely enjoy taking my own children there and sharing that same experience with them. It's something really special to me and my family. That's why this situation has been so hard. I dropped off an RC truck for repair and expected it might take some time. What I didn't expect was how long it actually took -- months and months passed while I waited. Eventually, when I called to check on it, I was told the truck had already been surrendered after 90 days. That news was absolutely heartbreaking. This wasn't just a piece of equipment to me. It was something I had invested a lot into and something tied to years of enjoyment in this hobby. I understand that businesses have policies, and I don't doubt they have rules in place, but learning about it only after the fact made the loss feel even worse. What makes this especially difficult is that I truly love this store. It's been part of my life story from childhood to now as a parent. I honestly can't imagine not going there anymore, and that's what makes this situation so emotionally complicated for me. I'm not posting this to attack anyone. I'm just really torn and hurt by how this played out, and I wish there had been more communication before it reached that point.

    Great store with a wide selection and solid customer service. I stopped in specifically for some…read moreGundam models, and the selection did not disappoint--plenty of kits across various grades and series. They really cater to a broad range of hobbies, which makes it a fun place to browse even beyond what you came in for. Prices were reasonable for the items I browsed and purchased.
