SINGAPORE – First Wave Agency and Hasbro have launched Monopoly Explore! SG, an exciting Monopoly digital experience in the form of a mobile app that allows players to explore Singapore on their electronic gadgets.

Monopoly Explore! SG is exclusively available to download from now till 30th April. During this time, players can explore the facets of Singapore, meet artisanal makers, discover products, and even win real rewards, such as discount vouchers from partners, and a Grand Cash Prize of S$8,000.

Monopoly Explore! SG reinvents the classic board game by introducing tiles in categories that represent four uniquely Singaporean experiences - Foods, Goods, Faces and Spaces. Even the tokens are locally themed, allowing players to choose from pieces such as a durian fruit, a HDB void deck table, and orchids.

The Monopoly Explore! SG mobile app will use its own in-game Monopoly$ currency, so players can acquire tiles and explore uniquely Singaporean experiences to win exciting rewards till the end of April.

Players can invite friends to play and explore Singapore’s cultural spaces such as Little India, National Museum of Singapore, Arts House and more.

How to play: Roll the ‘dice’ to land on a tile, and make your move by choosing to acquire the tile to unlock more exclusive content like informative videos and fun games. To increase your chances of winning prizes, players are encouraged to learn more about the museum's treasures, or take a quiz about Singapore’s iconic landmarks.

Here’s a tip: Acquiring The Good Tile will give you an opportunity to be a good samaritan and donate to local non-profit organisations such as The Food Bank Singapore.

There are also fun and interactive mini-games to look forward to, such as the foodpanda City Delivery, where players get to deliver food orders around the city, or The Perfect Toast Box Kopi, where players get to ‘concoct’ the perfect brew of local coffee.

“We are delighted to be able to bring our ideas to life with Hasbro. We are excited for players to experience the innovative gameplay that allows them to re-discover our beloved city, while also showcasing the unique landmarks and experiences that Singapore is known for”, said Don Tsai, Founder and Managing Director of First Wave Agency.

Monopoly Explore! SG can be downloaded from now on Google Play Store, and 22nd February on App Store for iPhone and iPad. It is available during a promotional period till 30th April 2021.

Consumers are encouraged to check out the website, join the conversation using #MonopolyExploreSG.

Candid photos of Syria's Assad expose a world beyond the carefully crafted and repressive rule
Personal photos of ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad have surfaced from his abandoned residences, sparking ridicule among Syrians who until days ago were persecuted for criticizing his carefully crafted public image. The intimate and candid photos, reportedly discovered in albums from Assad’s mansions in the hills of Damascus and Aleppo, offer a stark contrast to the polished, glamorous image that Assad and his father projected as they led Syria for half a century. Syrians have been fascinated by the background glimpses of a seemingly normal family that held the country in an iron grip and bombed some their fellow citizens regarded as a threat.
