  • How do I check-in at a location?
    There are two options for checking in. You must be standing in the correct location to check in. You can find this by using the photo in the pack or the app. Use the app; this is the primary method and the quickest as it will use GPS to pinpoint that you are in the correct location If the app doesn't work, call HQ, and we will check you in. If you are checking in this way, please expect a question to be answered correctly to complete the check-in. Important Information - For teams to startSome readers
  • Do we have to visit all the Free Parking locations?
    No, you only get one pass in the game to visit Free Parking but it can be used over the 3 locations. There is also an opportunity to win extra visits to Free Parking from the Chance Cards that are dealt to you after a check-in.Few readers
  • Do we have to visit locations in an order?
    The only location that you have to visit in order is your group's start location, where you MUST check in via the app or phone. This is so that your day can start. After that, you are then free to go in whichever order you would like to go in.Few readers
  • How does the non-visit fines work?
    Due to the nature of our gameplay, some situations can lead to skewed results for teams that might not have actively participated in the game for the whole day. For example, they get a set of properties in the early stages of the day and then decide not to continue with the game afterwards. This can considerably change the leaderboard for that game, leading to the team that has tried the least to win. We think that is unfair to all the other teams in the game who are actively trying to participaFew readers
  • How many teams in a game?
    The system will automatically group 6 teams into a game. There may be cases where certain games feature either 5 or 7 teams. This variation stems from the flexibility we allow regarding the Start Zone and team "speed" or "objective level". Such adjustments ensure that no game ends up with too few teams, which would compromise its feasibility. In such scenarios, we will redistribute teams to other games.Few readers
  • Do all the teams in a game start from the same Start Zone?
    Yes, all teams in the same game start from the same Start Zone and time.Few readers
  • How do we buy hotels?
    🏨 Buying Hotels Once your team owns all properties within the same colour group, you can purchase hotels on those properties — as long as your team has enough funds. You do not need to be physically at the property location to buy a hotel. Hotels can be purchased at any time directly within the app or by phoning into HQ and speaking to the helpdesk. To purchase a hotel: Open the property in the app. Go to the Property Details page. Tap the “Purchase Hotel” buttonFew readers
  • How does rent work?
    💰 How Rent Works Whenever your team owns a property, you will automatically receive rent (£) every time another team visits that property. Here’s how rent is calculated: Standard Rent: You get the base rent amount for the property. Full Colour Set: If your team owns all properties in the same colour group, the rent for each property in that set is doubled. Hotels: If a property has a hotel, the rent is tripled compared to the standard rent. ExamplFew readers
  • What is Free Parking and how does it work?
    How do Chance Cards and Free Parking work? What happens when we receive a Chance Card? Chance Cards are issued when your team checks in at certain locations. When activated, they will either: Add money to your team’s bank balance, or Deduct money from your bank balance If money is deducted, it is added to a shared game “pot”. What is the Free Parking pot? The pot is made up of money collected from Chance Card penalties throughout your game. This creates a growing bounty that teamsFew readers
  • What are Snapshots?
    How is the live game different from the board game? Unlike the traditional board game, our live version doesn’t automatically show you what other teams are doing or how the board is progressing in real time. To help you stay informed, we’ve introduced a feature called Snapshots. What are Snapshots? Snapshots give your team a moment-in-time view of the game board at the point you purchase them. Each Snapshot shows: Your current locations Available locations Locations that have alrFew readers
