‘Monopoly Lifesized’ Launching U.S. Tour in Colorado this October

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) Off-Center and The Path Entertainment Group – as part of its licensing agreement partnership with Hasbro – has announced Denver for the U.S. tour launch of “Monopoly Lifesized: Travel Edition.” Following its three-year run in London, the interactive way to play the famous family board game will open in October in DCPA Off-Center’s temporary resident building in Broadway Park.

“Monopoly Lifesized: Travel Edition” is a 60-minute family-friendly experience based on the game that offers four teams the opportunity to roll the dice and navigate a giant Monopoly board, guided by two human tokens while competing in escape room-style challenges to buy property and ultimately secure a victory.

The large-scale interactive experience will be in the former Ace Hardware and Dollar Tree building off of Broadway and Alameda in Denver. The 27,000-square-foot building in Denver’s design district will house a variety of Off-Center experiences over the next two years.

“We are excited to partner with DCPA Off-Center to premiere the newest location for ‘Monopoly Lifesized’ in the U.S.,” says David Hutchinson, chief executive officer, The Path Entertainment Group. “Since we opened our first site in London 2021, audiences have been raving about ‘Monopoly: Lifesized’ – with over a quarter of a million guests having enjoyed the experience in the U.K. We have since expanded into the Middle East and I am now thrilled to be expanding the joy and love for the beloved board game by launching the U.S. debut, ‘Monopoly Lifesized: Travel Edition’ in Denver, a destination that has a passion for interactive experiences. The Path Entertainment Group are dedicated to bringing our quality immersive experiences to audiences globally, and I couldn’t be more delighted to be working with the amazing team at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to be the first partner to launch our touring Travel Edition for a limited run in the city.”
