Okay, so I’m just gonna dive into this whole Monopoly Go new ad thing, alright? I mean, it’s kind of bonkers because who would’ve thought we’d be seeing Will Ferrell taking on the role of Mr. Monopoly? Right? The whole shebang’s called “The Dice Life.” Pretty nostalgic—reminds me of sitting in front of the TV watching sitcoms, and then BAM, arguing over who gets to be the race car in Monopoly—classic family chaos!
Anyway, so… The ad. It’s like this wild homage (weird word?) to 90s TV. And guess what? It’s got this killer theme song that seems straight outta those old shows we couldn’t get enough of. Thanks, Omelet—the agency pulling the strings here. They teamed up with Scopely, the brains behind Monopoly Go, and basically turned our TV past into a love letter. Yeah, for real.
Oh, and you’d totally spot some familiar faces too. Jake Johnson? Yeah, the dude from New Girl. And Sunita Mani from Glow pops in. The ad isn’t long—like, you can blink and miss it—but it’s enough to bring back that “I’m gonna flip this board” kind of drama only Monopoly can trigger. Why does everyone have that one uncle who just has to win?
And get this—Monopoly Go is having a pretty wild summer. They just announced they’ve hooked up with the Marvel universe, roping in The Fantastic Four. What a crossover! It starts July 13. You’ll see the crew mixing in with Monopoly worlds like some epic mashup. There are collectibles, mini-games, more in-game hullabaloo—sounds chaotic, right? What was I saying? Oh yeah, that Partner’s Event!
Still waiting on news for the next Treasures Event though. The last one wrapped up in late June, and folks are itching for what’s next. Oh, and by the way, if you’re looking for the latest free Dice Links for July, they’re out there somewhere. Or, like, maybe I dreamt that. Who knows?
