Dunedin becomes the newest place in Aotearoa to receive their very own monopoly board.
The official launch took place this morning at Dunedin Railway Station, with Mr Monopoly himself and local representatives celebrating the city’s new Monopoly edition.
Following the release of a custom board that focused entirely on the Otago region last year, this particular board will focus solely on Dunedin and all of its special quirks including its landmarks, beaches and even their student life.
Winning Moves partnership manager Australia and New Zealand Dale Hackett said hundreds of suggestions for locations and experiences had been received.
“The excitement has been high throughout the process. The final product showcases the best of Dunedin, from nature spots to local food and student life.”
Key Dunedin streets, like Castle St, Baldwin St, George St, and The Octagon, serve as the game’s travel squares.
Spaces on the board include:
- Brown Properties: Dunedin Botanic Garden and Wild Dunedin Festival of Nature
- Light Blue Properties: Brighton Beach, Aramoana Beach, and Tunnel Beach
- Pink Properties: St Clair Saltwater Pool, Te Aka Otakou, and Forsyth Barr Stadium
- Orange Properties: Monarch Wildlife Cruises, Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance (OPERA), and the Royal Albatross Centre
- Red Properties: Middlemarch, Port Chalmers, and Mosgiel
- Yellow Properties: Patti’s & Cream, Otago Farmers Market, and Emerson’s Brewery
- Green Properties: King’s High School, Tuhura Otago Museum, and University of Otago
- Dark Blue Properties: Dunedin Railway Station and Larnach Castle
