A $5 million arcade and entertainment center called Illusionz was designed by Callison Architecture of Seattle to conjure the look and feel of a magician's world.

Computer technology simulates the experience of a roller coaster ride and gives visitors a chance to climb up a virtual rock wall. It also includes electronic "putt putt" golf, batting cages, laser tag and a café.

Located in the Town and Country Shopping Center off Interstate 90, the arcade is the creation of a former Microsoft executive. It is the first project Callison designed using three-dimensional computer modeling.
RAS Builders of Issaquah was the general contractor for the facility, which was completed in October 1999. The owner is Games Unlimited.
