Monopoly Go!

Monopoly Go! (stylized as MONOPOLY GO!) is a 2023 mobile board game developed and published by Scopely in collaboration with Hasbro for iOS and Android devices. It is based on the board game of the same name.

Gameplay
Monopoly Go! is a single-player mobile board game video game that mixes elements of the classic Monopoly board game with some light mid-core mechanics. Monopoly GO! takes place in a mildly sociable environment. The player travels their board by themselves and starts out with ownership of every property.

A recurrent mini-game called Treasure Hunting is another aspect of Monopoly Go that allows the player to find hidden objects for rewards. Like other events, these mini-games are themed and only playable for a short period of time—usually a few days. All Treasure Hunts revolve around the basic gameplay of tapping squares on a grid to reveal objects. The player needs special tokens called "pickaxes" or “shovels” in order to uncover the squares.

Reception
Reviewers criticized various aspects of Monopoly Go!. Rachel Mogan from Android Central praised the game's appealing visuals, smooth gameplay, and impressive sound. However, she stated that it is "abundantly clear that Monopoly GO! is one of the many mobile games designed for the sole purpose of making as much money as it possibly can". Writing for Destructoid, CJ Andriessen criticized the game for having intrusive in-game ads.

Sales
By November 2023, Monopoly Go generated more than $1 billion in revenue, becoming the biggest mobile game launch of 2023. Scopely also added that Monopoly Go is bringing in more than $200 million every month for the company. By March 2024, the game generated $2 billion in revenue just 10 months after launch and three months after hitting $1 billion. The game also had a marketing budget of nearly $500 million.
