Dear ProZ members,
do you have any idea of what スかけ means here?
こんなスかけまで設定されているとはね
Context: a woman is involved in a competition where she has to fight a lot of monsters. However, a trick in the organization makes the work far more difficult than expected.
Maybe something like "trap"? "Who would have thought they set up such a trap."
Or is it just some colloquial form or something?
Thank you very much!

仕掛け（しかけ）
As other members have discussed, it must be 仕掛け（しかけ）, meaning a (complicated) trick or device according to the context.
すかけ is probably just a spelling listake.

Comment: "I really don't know: the script says スかけ, and I hear clearly the ス in the audio. I wonder if it's some variation. Thank you very much, however!"

Although a nest holder is a kind of trap, "su" would be written in kanji, not in katakana. Moreover, it would be odd to use a nest holder to trick the woman with, unless she has something to do with a nest.
