How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The GetaLife Building is a broad office tower standing directly behind Grand Easton Terminal, named after a parody insurance company.
The real place
The MetLife Building opened in 1963 as the Pan Am Building and stands above Park Avenue just north of Grand Central. The game copies both its shape and its position, and turns the MetLife name into a joke.
Visiting
The best view is looking south down Park Avenue from about 50th Street, where the tower blocks the end of the avenue.
