Okay, so here’s this wild ride about Monopoly Go — like, totally unpolished and all. Picture this: they’ve rolled out this fresh ad campaign (called The Dice Life, by the way) and it’s like… a nostalgic trip back to when sitcoms ruled and families clashed over that iconic board game. Classic times, right? And get this, Will Ferrell is voicing Mr. Monopoly. Yes, you heard me — Ferrell. He’s diving into these weird, ‘90s TV moments. Super random but kinda awesome?
Right, so The Drum says this whole shebang came from Omelet. Not the food — I mean, the creative agency. They teamed up with Scopely, the brains behind Monopoly Go, to make this whole tribute thing to ‘90s TV. Like, they even invented a theme song that screams ‘90s vibes. Makes you wanna binge old reruns, doesn’t it?
You’ll spot some familiar faces too, like Jake Johnson from New Girl. And Sunita Mani? Yep, she’s in it too. The ad’s quick, playing off every single dramatic board game night you’ve ever had. I mean, who hasn’t flipped a board at least once, am I right?
Oh, and Monopoly Go isn’t just stopping there. What’s up next? Only a crossover with Marvel. They’re going all in with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It’s dropping on July 13, and they’re throwing Fantastic Four characters and places right into the game. Super hero overload? Maybe. But I’m here for it.
There’s more new stuff too, like mini-games, events, collectibles — it’s a whole thing. They’re teasing this new Partners Event as well. And oh man, I’m still wondering when the next Treasures Event’s happening. Last one was, like, end of June. Not that I’m counting the days or anything…
If you’re sniffing around for more Monopoly Go freebies, the July Dice Links are out there somewhere. Go hunt ‘em down. Or don’t. Anyway, that’s the scoop. Sort of.
