McDonald's famous and much-loved Monopoly game is back. Customers can win prizes or a freebie from the menu by collecting property stickers related to the board game.
Those lucky enough to collect a set can bag big prizes, including a Mini electric car or a TUI holiday worth £2,000. And plenty of others will be bagging free food.
However, many customers probably won't know that there are two versions of the game - one for customers and one for staff. A video has circulated on TikTok apparently showing an employee "cheating" the game.
Now, McDonald's has confirmed that there is a game for members of the team and it's been running for more than a decade, reports PlymouthLive.
PlymouthLive contacted McDonald's to find out more about the secret Monopoly game. A spokesperson for McDonald's said it had a "separate competition" featuring a combination of quizzes and games. They confirmed staff can win all of the same prizes, other than the £100,000 cash prize.
A video was shared on TikTok at a UK McDonald's, allegedly showing a staff member flicking through the Monopoly stickers. McDonald's UK replied: "Rest assured we have a separate game for our employees - we cannot win the game our customers play."
The spokesperson said: "We run a separate competition to allow our people to take part in Monopoly. Crew can win all the same prizes that our customers can win (other than the £100,000 cash prize). It runs through our intranet and has been running for over 10 years.
"It’s a combination of quizzes and games that our crew can play on the intranet, the games and quizzes that they can play changes daily. Unfortunately we’ve not got any imagery of crew taking part."
This year, the new ‘double peel’ feature gives players double the chance of winning big, through the physical peel award and the digital QR code. This can be done on the McDonald's App.
The rare McDonald's Monopoly pieces are Mayfair (dark blue), Bond Street (green), Coventry Street (yellow), Strand (red), Marlborough Street (orange), Euston Road (light blue), Northumberland Avenue (pink) and Old Kent Road (Brown.)
