Must read

The MONOPOLY – Flagstaff Edition is expected to be available in winter 2025 through local retailers, online platforms and select stores in Flagstaff.

Ever want to take a ride on the Santa Fe Railway, buy a house at Forest Highlands or collect $200 if you pass Go? Mr. MONOPOLY wants to make that possible by immortalizing Flagstaff in the board game world of real estate tycoons and financial moguls.

According to a news release, game-maker Hasbro wants to create an official Flagstaff version of the legendary game to feature local landmarks, restaurants and cultural staples in place of iconic properties like Park Place and Marvin Gardens.

Now through Aug.15, residents can voice which locations they would like to see featured in the MONOPOLY Flagstaff game by emailing Flagstaff@TopTrumps.com.

The news release also states that residents are encouraged to get involved by suggesting their favorite places that best represent Flagstaff. “Whether it’s a hidden gem, a bustling market, a beloved park, or a historic site, every submission is a chance to contribute to this unique version of the MONOPOLY game. Submissions will help determine the details, including Flagstaff-specific squares, community chest, chance cards and more.”

We are excited to welcome Mr. Monopoly and celebrate the announcement of Flagstaff’s very own MONOPOLY board,” said Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Julie Pastrick. “This showcase is a wonderful vibrant culture opportunity to significant landmarks of our city and surrounding area. It’s also another opportunity for us to come together and share what makes our community special.”

We aim to ensure that MONOPOLY – Flagstaff Edition is an accurate portrayal of what Flagstaff locals love about this charming city,” said Jennifer Tripsea from Top Trumps.
