Do I have to be a hardcore gamer or cosplayer to apply?
Not at all! Many contestants are fans of the culture but not full-time cosplayers or streamers. What matters most is your personality, confidence, and willingness to have fun while being yourself.
​
Where is the show being filmed?
Filming takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, home to a thriving creative and cosplay community. Travel and lodging are covered for all contestants chosen to participate.
​
How do I apply to be on the show?
You can apply directly through our Casting page on the official site. Just fill out the form, upload a few photos or short intro video, and tell us why you’d make a great match for the Level Up: Love experience.
​
Is there an age limit to apply?
Yes — contestants must be 18 years or older at the time of application. Most participants fall between 18–34, but what matters most is your energy and openness to love.
​
What kind of challenges will there be?
Expect a mix of creative, romantic, and just-plain-fun activities — from themed photo shoots and improv quests to compatibility tests and gaming duels. Each challenge is meant to bring out your authentic self (and maybe your inner main character).
​
Will I have to wear cosplay the entire time?
Nope! You’ll have moments in full costume and others where it’s just you being yourself. The goal is to blend fantasy and reality — showing who you are both in and out of costume.
​
What do winners receive?
Besides bragging rights and the chance to find genuine love, finalists receive exclusive prizes, sponsorship opportunities, and potential appearances in upcoming Level Up: Love content or spin-offs.
​
Can I bring my own costume or props?
Yes! In fact, we encourage it. There will be professional stylists and wardrobe options available on set too — but your personal flair is always welcome.
