MONOPOLY LIFESIZED FAQs

MONOPOLY LIFESIZED is exactly what it sounds like – a life-sized version of the world’s favorite board game.   

Each 70-minute game is played on a 50’x50’ board, featuring 8 Properties, 2 Utility Companies, 2 Train Stations, Free Parking, Go, and Jail. Each board can host up to 24 people split into 4 teams that play against each other. The game is led by two Monopoly Tokens (Scottie Dog, Boot, Racing Car, etc.) who explain the rules, facilitate the game play, keep score, and help the teams along the way. When a team lands on a property, they get to enter the full-sized challenge room connected to the property and participate in a challenge — only if they succeed will they acquire that property. The challenges are themed to connect to each property and contain a mix of physical and mental puzzles and games that test players’ skills and creative thinking.  

MONOPOLY LIFESIZED is a high-energy interactive experience that uses a range of theatrical effects including loud music and sounds, flashing lights, timed-rounds, group participation, and small or confined spaces.
