London is the board.
Your team is the player.

The UK’s biggest Monopoly game for Scouts and Guides. Buy real London streets, charge your rivals rent and race the clock, all played live from your phone across one very big day out.

The idea

It’s Monopoly, played on the real thing

No dice, no counters, no kitchen table. Your team spends the day crossing London, claiming famous streets before anyone else gets there. Everything runs through an app we built ourselves, so the moment you check in somewhere, every other team knows it’s yours.

Real places

Every property on the board is an actual London location. Get there, check in on your phone, and it’s yours.

Real rivals

You’re pooled with around six other teams. Land on a street they own and you pay them rent, automatically.

Real time

Balances, rent, leaderboards and Chance cards all update live. You always know exactly where you stand.

The app

Built by us, for this one day

Not an off-the-shelf trail app. Check in with GPS, watch your balance move, take on challenges, follow the leaderboard and get told when the Tube is playing up, all in one place. Included with your entry, on the App Store and Google Play.

The Team Home screen: the game countdown, your balance and rank, and a tile for every part of the app.
Your team
The Locations screen: how many places you have visited, then every property by colour set, marked bought or rented.
The board
The property screen for Fleet Street: a photo of the location, purchase cost, rent, the rest of the Red set, and the check-in button.

The game

Six things to know before you start

1

Get there first, it’s yours

The first team to check in at a location buys it outright. Everything from Old Kent Road to Mayfair is up for grabs.

2

Then everyone else pays you

When a rival team checks in somewhere you own, their rent lands in your account. You don’t have to be there.

3

Collect a colour set

Own every street in a colour and the rent on all of them doubles. This is where games are won.

4

Build a hotel

Hold a full set and enough cash, and you can put a hotel up. Rent goes through the roof.

5

Quiz and challenges

An Only Connect style quiz runs all day, plus photo challenges sent into HQ for the controllers to mark. Both pay out in bonus cash.

6

Visit everything, or pay

Any property you never reach costs you a fine worth one and a half times its rent. Plan the route carefully.

On the day

What actually happens

Everything is organised for you. You turn up with your team and we take care of the rest.
