“It was great to have this model, which is so close to the Notre Dame that everyone knows, the Notre Dame that was created at the end of the 19th century, the one with the spire. But for the escape game we had to add some elements that weren’t there In the Notre Dame model. We had to add the northern bell tower and the Virgin holding the child, which is a central character in the movie as well. We also added scaffolding – because there was scaffolding around Notre Dame when it was on fire – and the modern altar too. Elements like this are very important, because we tell the story of the fire , but these were not present in the model that we had,” Papernik Comments.
