Wait… so Monopoly Go is diving into nostalgia? Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Family board game nights, right? Those were the days. Anyway, Monopoly Go’s got a new thing going—”The Dice Life” or something. And it feels like flipping through a 90s TV guide. Does anyone even remember those?
Will Ferrell, of all people, pops in as Mr. Monopoly. I think he nailed that voice. Or maybe I’m just imagining — who knows? It’s got that whole sitcom vibe, like when you weren’t sure whether you wanted to laugh or flip the channel.
And oh, did you catch this? There’s Jake Johnson from New Girl and Sunita Mani from Glow. They weren’t just there for giggles. It’s like they’re acting out those intense, but kinda silly, Monopoly fights everyone’s had. The type that starts with a stolen spot on Boardwalk, then somehow you’re debating who gets the last slice of pizza.
This ad campaign’s from Omelet, which teamed up with Scopely. I swear, the name Omelet just makes me hungry. Anyway — or wait, was it Scopely? — they’re trying to capture that TV feel. Remember those theme songs that you can’t get out of your head? Yeah, it’s got one of those too.
But the big scoop? It’s not just ads. Monopoly Go’s hooking up with Marvel. The Fantastic Four and board games? If that doesn’t scream summer fun, I don’t know what does. Starts July 13, packed with events and mini-games. And I swear, just when you think you’ve got all the collectibles, bam, there’s another.
Oh, and if you’re keeping up with Monopoly Go stuff, there’s this link thing going on in July — free dice or something. Might be worth checking out. Anyway, that’s a wrap. Or was I supposed to talk about something else?
