High Rise

Climb a towering skyscraper one hand at a time, dodging slamming windows and falling flower pots.

How to play

Haul yourself up the face of a skyscraper, alternating hands as you reach for the next hold. Time your grabs around windows that slam shut and residents who toss objects from above, and don't lose your grip on the way to the top.

Origins

High Rise revives the climbing game of 1980 — scale a skyscraper hand over hand as windows slam on your fingers and residents drop flower pots and worse, racing for the helicopter at the top. Frantic, funny and unforgiving.
