The Opportunity

The physical peel, central to McDonald’s MONOPOLY game play, has always been well-loved, but its joy is short-lived. Our opportunity was to build a wider-reaching, longer-term, more immersive brand and digital experience so that consumers could continue playing and winning beyond the physical peel.​

Our Approach

Customers have always loved the on-pack peel, however this year, instead of peeling to reveal a potential loss, Double Peel extended the game in the McDonald’s app – transforming customers’ phones into a MONOPOLY® gameboard. Players still had the opportunity to peel the label on their promotional food item for a potential Instant Win, but now they could also scan a property code to complete sets in the McDonald’s app. Each property banked in the MONOPOLY®  Wallet gave players another chance to win an array of prizes via the Digital Peel in the app. tms brokered contracts between McDonald’s and over 20 prize partners, including BMW, Paramount+, TUI, JD Sports, See Tickets, Photobox, Wrappz, Zavvi, Go Ape, GLOSSYBOX, SkullCandy and AO.com. Customers had the chance to win everything from a new Mini Cooper, to shopping vouchers and personalized accessories.

The Outcome

After 16 years, we created a next-generation McDonald’s MONOPOLY® game, inspiring customers to double down on what they love and created a campaign that magnified the double feel-good feeling of the peel in a fun and engaging way. By extending the promotion into a more immersive app experience, we not only gave customers additional ways to play and win but also fostered high engagement making this year’s MONOPOLY® the biggest and best to date.​​

Results

By extending our popular MONOPOLY® promotion at McDonald’s into a more immersive app experience, we’ve not only given customers additional ways to play, we’ve also built a wider, longer-term engagement in the game over the 6-week period – along with more ways to win. Doubling the fun for everyone.
