Billingshurst 2nd Guides: Monopoly Run

2nd Billingshurst Guides: Monopoly Run 2022

On Saturday 5th March, Billingshurst Guides entered three teams to play ‘real-life’ monopoly all around central London.

To play this version of the long-established game we had to visit the actual places on the monopoly board to check-in and buy/rent properties. We played against different teams from across the whole of the UK, in the race to reach the highest amount of money, done mainly by completing live challenges, quizzes and visiting properties in a strategic way.

Places of highlight were Park Lane, Mayfair Trafalgar Square and Bond Street. The best part of the day was the intensity of rushing around London trying to win the competition. It was also fantastic to see London with 5000 Guides and Scouts, it really helped to build the atmosphere and suspense throughout the game. One set challenge included making a human pyramid in our team, now that definitely turned a few heads! Overall, ‘live’ monopoly was an intense day full of coordination, collaboration and teamwork!
