The iconic board game has levelled up. Scopely has just announced the first-ever Monopoly GO! UK Championship, bringing the wildly popular mobile game to life in a major competitive tournament.
Slated for July 2024, the event will see finalists descend on a luxury London venue for a chance to be crowned the UK's first Monopoly GO! champion. The stakes are high, with a massive £100,000 prize pool on the line.
How To Secure Your Place At The Board
Aspiring property moguls won't need a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card to enter. The path to the championship begins in the game itself. Throughout June, players can compete in a series of in-game qualifying tournaments.
The top performers from these online heats will win an all-expenses-paid trip to the capital for the grand final. This includes travel, a stay in a top-tier hotel, and a place at the physical tournament table.
More Than Just Cash Prizes
While the life-changing cash prize is the main attraction, Scopely is rolling out the red carpet for finalists. The experience is designed to be a truly memorable event, reflecting the glamour and excitement of the game.
This championship taps into the huge success of Monopoly GO!, which has become a global phenomenon since its launch, captivating millions of players with its engaging and social gameplay mechanics.
A New Era For Mobile Gaming Events
The establishment of an official UK championship signals mobile gaming's continued ascent into the mainstream competitive scene. By creating a live event for a digital title, Scopely is bridging the gap between the virtual and physical worlds of gaming.
Mark your calendars and start practising those dice rolls. Qualifiers kick off in June, giving players a few weeks to sharpen their strategies and build their property portfolios for a shot at the title.
