The experience takes everything you love about Monopoly, from walking around the board to buying properties and testing your luck, and mixes it with escape room-style puzzles and team challenges. With a full-sized 15 by 15 metre board to explore, it has become a hit for groups looking for fun, interactive gameplay and memorable social experiences.
