Description

Have fun with these four (4), 2-hour each, 'Level Up' game play cards at Level 257 in the Woodfield Mall. Level 257 is a stylish and unique place to eat, drink and socialize. The massive 42,000 square foot playground was inspired by PAC-MAN and the experience is the brainchild of the minds at Namco USA Inc. While the company is known for arcade games, Level 257 is the anti-arcade. It is all about the next level of socialization. And yes, there are video games - both classic and new - that add to the ambiance. But why 257? When PAC-MAN was originally created, no one thought anyone would continually play the game and go up the increasingly hard and fast levels to reach the now infamous 'kill screen' at Level 256. Due to a glitch in the 8-bit process known as an integer overflow, level 256 is visible, but unplayable as half the screen becomes a random compilation of letters, numbers and symbols, obliterating the maze and sending the game's characters into strange patterns. Level 257 symbolizes that next level of play - level up with us.
