How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The opening party of the Burj Al-Ghazali, nicknamed 'The Sceptre', a fictional tower that has just become the world's tallest building.
The real place
The Sceptre is modelled on the Burj Khalifa, and IOI's art director and lead environment artist visited Dubai for reference. The Burj Khalifa is 828 m tall and opened in 2010.
Visiting
The observation decks are on floors 124, 125 and 148. Tickets are timed, and sunset slots sell out, so book ahead.
