Product Information

First to go was Billy Dixon, partner of Warrington Worldwide’s digital manager Hannah Skentelbery, playing his first-ever game of Monopoly. He eagerly rolled the dice and threw a seven, becoming the first to land on the Warrington Worldwide “Chance,” to much applause. Next up was Hannah, who incredibly also threw seven, landing on the same space. At the time of the announcement – in March 2022 – that Warrington is to ‘Pass GO’ in time for this Christmas, the public was invited to send in suggestions for squares to fill the board and ideas for customised Chance and Community Chest cards. Polls have now closed. Ms Lau, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK – who are producing the board under official license from the MONOPOLY brand, owned by Hasbro – added: “A huge thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions. The response exceeded all our expectations. The most inventive and creative entry will win. We are totally open-minded as to the form the entries should take, be they visual or in video form or in whatever creative form. As the launch of the game is during the October half-term holidays then we also invite teachers to consider setting artistic projects. Any such entries would be great. Anyone can be a VIP from 5 to 105 and beyond!” The brand new Monopoly Warrington edition game features Walton Hall and Gardens. It has been unveiled as the Park Lane of Warrington. This is next to the Golden Gates, which takes the spot commonly known as Mayfair on the original board.
