The Iconic Game Returns
McDonald’s is officially bringing back its beloved Monopoly Game after nearly ten years away. The legendary sweepstakes, inspired by the classic board game, is back with a fresh digital twist that mixes nostalgia with modern tech.
A Modern Digital Experience
Unlike past versions, this year’s Monopoly Game includes an app-driven experience. Customers can now track, scan, and combine game pieces directly through the McDonald’s app, making the process easier and more interactive.
When And How To Play
The game runs from October 6 to November 2. Customers can collect game pieces either by peeling stickers from select in-store menu items or by ordering through the McDonald’s app to unlock digital pieces.
Classic Monopoly Locations Return
Just like the board game, players will encounter familiar property names such as Park Place, Boardwalk, and Atlantic Avenue. Collecting the right combinations can lead to some exciting wins.
Exciting Prizes On The Line
Prizes range from free menu items to life-changing rewards. Players have the chance to win instant food prizes, $1,000,000 cash, a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, vacations, electronics, and more.
Extra Rewards For Early Registration
Those who pre-register in the McDonald’s app between September 29 and October 5 earn 500 bonus MyMcDonald’s Rewards points. This incentive encourages fans to join early and get a head start on collecting pieces.
Menu Items That Include Game Pieces
Eligible menu items for physical pieces include the Big Mac, Chicken McNuggets, Filet-O-Fish, McMuffins, hash browns, and large drinks. Digital pieces can be earned through app purchases such as McGriddles, McCrispy sandwiches, and Quarter Pounders.
A Nostalgic Yet Fresh Promotion
Alyssa Buetikofer, McDonald’s chief marketing officer, said the game has been a “core memory” for many customers. Bringing it back with a digital update lets new and longtime fans experience the excitement together.
A Game With History And Drama
First launched in 1987, McDonald’s Monopoly has had a long history of thrills and controversy. The HBO docu-series “McMillion$” explored a famous fraud scheme from past games, adding to the game’s pop culture legacy.
