About this venue
Sky High Escape Room (Josephine Bakerstraat 2 and 16, Almere) positions itself as 'not a regular escape room, but an exciting cinematic experience' — and the numbers prove them right: Casino Mortale stands at a 9.1 on escapetalk from 324 reviews, PainKiller at an 8.5, with a 4.9 on Google. Casino Mortale immerses you in an illegal casino full of jazz, whispered secrets and 'the scent of gin and tonic and bad intentions', written with a professional author; PainKiller is interactive theater around psychiatrist Milgram and his mysterious patient Jules Early. Unique is that the story begins at booking: for days you receive in-character emails with your cover identity, arrival at the dark industrial area is staged and a stern hostess receives you fully in character, while even the hint system is woven into the fiction. Reviews praise that total story commitment massively; criticism is limited to the small physical spaces, lots of exposition video and PainKiller's unannounced pain and scare elements, which some veterans disliked.

From the reviews
Super toffe kamer! Dagen van te voren begon het al te kriebelen door de berichten. Bij aankomst meteen begon het spel.— escaperoomsnederland.nl
Zeer toffe escape room, de voorpret begint al met de diverse mails en dan moet het avontuur nog beginnen.— escaperoomsnederland.nl
Was zeker een aanrader. Geen echte schrik effecten, wat ik persoonlijk heel fijn vind. Wel leuke puzzels en goed verhaal.— escaperoomsnederland.nl
