Most kids today only consume content. They play games, watch videos, and scroll through AI-generated media, but almost none of them learn how to create with the same tools. Schools are still years behind when it comes to teaching real AI and modern creative technology. Parents are looking for something better than more screen time.

As a non-gamer mom, it was cool to have the most wonderful people in the world explain the gamer world to me. To share how it truly is educational and team buiding and how technology is progressing. X99 lives IS the best place for kids to learn appropriately and safely in the gaming world!! Any time my son has no school and X99 lives is open, he will be there!!! Rob and Irina truly care about their clients and having fun. They are family and we couldn't imagine a better atmosphere for summer camp, holiday camps, birthday parties, and fornite tournaments!! Forever grateful for Rob and Irnia!!Posted on Google Kara ObrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First, I have to say that X99lives has been a family to us this past year. Rob and Irena are so welcoming and they make us feel like part of their family. With that said, now I can talk about our experience with X99lives. I was looking for a place for my son to meet new friends, enjoy what he loves to do and learn more about gaming, coding and developing his own games. Since being part of X99lives my son has made new friends and has grown socially along with the skills he has learned. Rob has been a blessing. My son has created his own game, he's learned about 3D printing, AI and is getting ready to make another game. I can't say enough about this place and Rob and Irena. We are thankful for their knowledge and for helping my son grow in many ways.Posted on Google mario holguinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome experience, the kids keep asking to go back. The store is always clean and the staff is always nice and friendly. Also a great place for birthday partiesPosted on Google Andrew EspinosaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son had such a wonderful experience at this camp ! He learned so much. Everyday I picked him up he was so excited to tell me what he did . The owners are the sweetest people you will ever meet. They genuinely want your kid to have a great experience and learn what they have to offer . My favorite part as a mom is the owners share a file that we were able to see what my child did that day and created on the computer. This is a very Educational camp 100% worth every penny! My son can wait to return next summerPosted on Google Elizabeth YoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this place! We hosted my son’s 11th birthday party here earlier this year. He wanted a “gaming” party and I found this place through a Google search. It was a huge hit! The kids were having so much fun. They were able to all play together in the same gaming world at the different computer stations. They didn’t even want to come eat the pizza and cake because they were having so much fun! We also attended a week of summer camp here and my son said it was his favorite summer camp he attended all summer! It’s a small group of kids so they all get to know each other and it’s pretty laid back. My son learned how to build his own game and then the other kids got to play each others games and see how they did with real players playing! The owners are super nice and make you feel so comfortable - knowing that the environment is a safe place to play Fortnite and other games and also teaching them real world skills for the future. I highly recommend checking it out if your child is a gamer!Posted on Google finn fehribach (finn)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. i discovered this place by chance and i’m so glad i did! the atmosphere of the place is super relaxed and the owners are the nicest people you’ll meet! great place to hang with friends and play together, events happen often tooPosted on Google Morrell BarnesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The family that runs this location are very accommodating, very nice, professional, and most important, they are personable. Whether you’re trying to further your gaming career by using their high-end PCs, gain knowledge in the tech space or just need a place for your kids to play together. This is the place.Posted on Google Jared HabibTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place. Rob was super accommodating and helped me with whatever I needed to be comfortable. I highly recommend x99lives if you are looking for a Lan Center on the east coast of florida.Posted on Google N B (Yoi)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place has really become my daughter’s second home. The atmosphere is great, Rob and Irina are fantastic. Through the homeschooling classes, she’s learning Photoshop and how to create her own games, which she’s really enjoying the process. Her esports instructor, Rodrigo, goes above and beyond for each player, teaching not only the game but also teamwork and communication. I’m so happy we found this place, my daughter fits right in and feels like she truly belongs.
