Get Ready to Pass “Go” and Collect Your Fries! McDonald’s Monopoly Returns!
The iconic McDonald’s Monopoly game is making a grand return after a decade-long hiatus. Dust off your game pieces (or download the app – more on that later!), because the fast-food giant is bringing back the beloved promotion that first captivated us in 1985.
Originally, customers collected game pieces by peeling them off McDonald’s packaging – everything from Big Mac boxes to fry containers. While details of the new version remain under wraps, McDonald’s has hinted at an October relaunch via an official Instagram post.
While the specifics of gameplay haven’t been revealed, the Golden Arches is encouraging fans to download the McDonald’s app, suggesting a digital element to this year’s Monopoly experience. This has sparked some online debate.
Some Reddit users expressed nostalgia for the physical peel-off pieces, while others raised concerns about data privacy in a digitized format. One Redditor quipped, “So…they save money by not manufacturing the monopoly stuff, AND they get to sell your data.
Win win for them really.”
However, not everyone is skeptical. Many fans expressed excitement on social media.
One Instagram user reminisced about the classic peel-off stickers on fry containers, calling it “So much fun.” Another user declared, “Gen Z can finally participate in this!”
The anticipation is palpable.
Will this year’s grand prize still be a cool million dollars? Will we be peeling, clicking, or both? McDonald’s is keeping us guessing, but one thing’s for sure: October can’t come soon enough!
