According to a recent survey of over 2,000 US adults age 18+ conducted for Ally by The Harris Poll, four in five (81%) Americans say money-related board games are helpful in teaching basic money concepts, while seven in 10 who played money-related games as a child (71%) say doing so helped make them more comfortable with money concepts.
Ally + Monopoly launches online across the US and locally in six cities including Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, New York, and Seattle. In those cities, over-sized Monopoly tokens and property spaces create a real-world, AR scavenger hunt. Players ages 18+ can use their smartphones and Ally + Monopoly’s AR functions during daylight hours to experience Mr. Monopoly comes to life as part of the game for a chance to win a variety of prizes.
