Monopoly Series

[+allieballie]

There's been stuff on the news today about this new Monopoly Board which encompasses cities over the entire country, and I see there has already been a cache set in connection to this.

 

However, I wanted to know, just for curiosity, whether there had ever been, or if anyone had ever thought about doing, a London cache series based on the traditional Monopoly locations?

There was one in Liverpool

[+Dorsetgal & GeoDog]

There have been a few Geopoly series, I did some of one in Paris (which have sadly been archived now) but there's still a series in Karlsbad, Germany and Madrid, Spain.

 

See details here.

I think Liverpool have banned Monopoly after recent events.

Yes, there was about 5 years ago. They were set by tophat, (where is he now?) and are archived. They were called The London Monopoly Board Series and were most enjoyable but the whole board was never set.

 

The following is the link for part 1

Are you planning on going to Jail?

You're not Borris Johnson, by any chance, are you?

Deep Digging Mole has a puzzle cache called "Monopoly Mayhem". As I'm not really a fan of puzzle caches I don't know if this is what you are looking for. (But don't worry Tim - I am a fan of your other caches!)

I wonder if anyone who tries doing Monopoly caches might fall foul of Hasbro's rabid copyright lawyers. They protect their trademarks with extreme mean-spiritedness, and will probably force any use of Monopoly concepts offline pretty quickly.

Please enlighten as to what events you refer to?

There was a series called GEOPOLY in Paris but sadly now all archived.

This was exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about - looks like it would have been really good fun - what a shame that it was never finished and that they are now archived anyway.

 

I was just asking out of interest really - it seemed such an obvious thing to base a cache series around yet a quick search (for caches around the Strand area!) revealed nothing as far as Monopoly was concerned.

 

Maybe someone will resurrect it? If only I lived in London then I would do you all a Monopoly multicache series....

[+Kryten]

Maybe a local version then Allieballie "Go back to Auchtermuchty, do not pass go, do not collect £200" or "You are assesed for box repairs, pay £10 for each ammo box or £100 for each micro".

Yeh, I would like to know about these recent events too.....

I think this probably refers to Liverpool polling the lowest votes and replacing Old Kent Road in the UK wide version.....?

Well this is the first time I've even heard of this so why wasn't I informed about the vote?

Yes I do have a 'monopoly' based multi - GCK4G5 - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...36-f5f9e2e81bd7

This does use the monopoly board as a basis for obtaining the co-ords for a final cache - not has hasbro on my back as yet

[+Dorsetgal & GeoDog]

I think it would be great to see a Monopoly themed cache in London, there are some wonderful series' in London and I am sure a Monopoly one would compliment them all wonderfully.

 

Maybe if such a project would be too large for a single caching team a consortium could be formed?
