“Like any escape game, it’s a question of puzzles and co-operating with your teammates,” says Deborah Papiernik, Ubisoft senior VP new business and strategic alliances, to Variety. “The idea is to make your way through the cathedral to find relics and to fight the fire, because you have to save Notre Dame [before the clock runs out].”

When Notre-Dame first burned down, it was suggested that Ubisoft’s recreation of the cathedral might aid in its reconstruction. There are many reasonswhy that can’t happen, not least that its recreations are not historically accurate. I do like seeing creators of silly, big budget games re-using those art assets for smaller, stranger work, however.
