The Sunshine Coast is set to become the latest Australian locale to get its very own Monopoly board game, with the first edition slated for release in 2025.
This comes after persistent local demand, fuelled by the triumph of previous Queensland editions like the Gold Coast in 2018 and the recent Gympie release.
Winning Moves, the company producing the game under license from Hasbro, invites residents, the local council, and businesses to collaborate on crafting a bespoke game showcasing the region’s iconic landmarks. From the freshly opened Big Pineapple to the ever-popular Eumundi Markets, the race is on to secure a coveted spot on the board.
A representative from Winning Moves, Jaimie-Lee de Niet, shared that requests for a Sunshine Coast edition have been pouring in for years. The company has been eager to create a Sunshine Coast board for quite a while.
They are eager to collaborate with locals to identify the area’s best features and create a game that both residents and tourists who adore the Sunshine Coast can enjoy because of the region’s size and hidden treasures.
Starting today, locals can submit suggestions for what they’d like to see included in the game.
This marks an exciting chapter for the Sunshine Coast. It adds a playful twist to its identity and allows players to navigate its unique landmarks from the comfort of their living rooms.
