Where can I get a McDonalds Monopoly board?
It is unlikely that 2023 will see the return of the McDonald's Monopoly board this year given that they have not been around since 2021.
When the boards were stopped a spokesperson for McDonald's said: "We haven’t produced McDonald’s Monopoly boards this year, as such customers are unable to get them."
Are McDonald's Monopoly boards available?
Mcdonald's first started the game in 2005 and in order to play the customers would need to stick their prizes onto the board.
In previous years the fast food chain has given away free boards to customers who wanted to play McDonald's monopoly.
However, they stopped this in 2021 and made it possible for customers to play along online.
Less people relied on using the boards and moved to online as it made it easier to cash in on some instant wins.
To claim your food or drink items on the instant win tickets you would have to keep them separate and bring them to the restaurant with you in order to get your prize.
What does ‘Double peel’ mean?
"Double peel" will allow you to peel another sticker every time you earn yourself a property in the McDonald's Monopoly game.
Once you've purchased food and peeled a sticker, you need to head to the McDonald's app and bank a property by scanning the sticker.
This will provide you with an extra virtual sticker - hence the "double peel"..
Without having to buy any extra food or drink at McDonald's you can bank another free property or earn yourself an instant win.
Is McDonald’s Monopoly available on UberEats
Good news! This year the beloved game is available on UberEats.
If a restaurant nearby offers McDelivery via the app, then your order will have the coveted stickers.
Now you can win massive prizes without even leaving the house.
Top tip: Play when the restaurant isn’t busy
To increase your chances of winning, you should go to McDonald’s during quiet hours.
This is because there are only two cash prizes available per minute.
Lunch and dinner time are particularly busy – the more people playing, the less chance there is to win.
How to redeem your codes
So, you think you’ve won one of McDonald’s massive instant win prizes, but how do you get your hands on them?
Instant win food prizes can be redeemed at any McDonald’s, simply head over to the counter and give them your token.
You can also cash in game pieces on the touch screen kiosks in store or via the app by inputting the 12 digit prize code.
You’ll need to hand the game pieces over to a member of staff when you collect your meal.
How does McDonald’s Monopoly work?
The game works similarly to traditional Monopoly.
Customers collect game pieces when they buy qualifying McDonald’s products, such as colour co-ordinated road names or train stations.
You’ll be able to find them as stickers which appear on the packaging of your food.
Each menu item has the chance of giving you a different prize.
These range from food, to massive cash prizes.
Where can you play McDonald’s Monopoly?
Good news! McDonald’s Monopoly is available at every outlet across the country.
Simply purchase one of the many items that feature stickers to play.
You can also take part via McDelivery.
