Post-It Wars

Montreuil, a suburb of Paris, is the scene of an unusual confrontation for the last few months. Ubisoft and BNP Paribas are engaged in a post-it note war between their two company buildings. 
Before this, the two companys had little in common, but what started out as a single figure of video-game character Space Invader on a Ubisoft window grew into a conflict of epic proportions. All of a sudden the employees hidden passion for video game characters had been unveiled.
And when one company presented a giant Mario, the other responded with character of Zelda.
This battle is not waged solely between the two companys, but different floors and departments are involved in their own confrontations.

 

Last Friday afternoon, while everybody was preparing for the weekend, Ubisoft unleashed a three-story assassin from the game Assasin's Creed. Some call it an attempt to end the game, a "chess-mate" move. We are still waiting for BNP's counterstrike.
