Two words: pass go.
McDonald’s has been a longtime staple in my life. When I was a little kid, my mother took me to McDonald’s as a treat after going to the doctor. Now I’m in my mid-thirties and still crave it after every physical. Pavlov has nothing on me and my Happy Meal!
Whether it’s for the celebrity menu deals or an exciting Happy Meal toy drop, there’s always a reason to head to the golden arches on your lunch break (or, if you’re an early bird, your breakfast break). I’m pleased to announce that the latest reason to stop by is for the fan favorite returning to McDonald’s this fall: the McDonald’s Monopoly Game.
“Our fans have been clamoring for the return of Monopoly at McDonald’s, and we’re thrilled to bring it back with a modern, digital spin,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer of McDonald’s USA in a press release from the brand.
When will McDonald’s Monopoly return?
For the first time in 10 years, Monopoly will be back on the menu starting October 6. For the uninitiated, this game was a cherished annual tradition at participating McDonald’s. All of your favorite menu items came with little game pieces attached, which you could peel off and collect.
Some of the pieces were instantly redeemable for a free soft drink or free small fry, but others were part of a set. If you collected all of the required game pieces, you could win a vacation or a car! For what it’s worth, when I was a kid, I felt like I struck gold when I won a free ice cream cone.
This time, McDonald’s is streamlining the process with its app. When you redeem game pieces in the app, you also get a special “Bonus Play” for every physical game piece. Plus, if you preregister for this year’s Monopoly game in the app by October 5, you’ll receive 500 bonus McDonald’s Reward points. I don’t know about you, but I already feel like a winner!
