Design your Own MONOPOLY Building Competition Winners Announced

Since the launch of MONOPOLY City Streets in September, millions of buildings have been built in the game. We’ve enjoyed peeking at the new skylines of cities around the world that you have created, whether you stuck to the traditional green houses or dived in and built skyscrapers or ventured all for the MONOPOLY Tower. We are pleased to announce the introduction of three new buildings to the game.

As many of you know, during the first several weeks that the game was online we hosted a competition with the help of Google SketchUp to find three new MONOPOLY City Streets ‘must have’ properties. We received hundreds of proposed buildings ranging in design from condos and towers to malls and amusement parks and from ice cream parlours to boathouses. It was amazing to see the variety of buildings submitted to the competition.

We have selected three buildings that are now incorporated into the game. The three winning entries have been selected for their beauty, originality and for capturing the fun spirit of MONOPOLY City Streets.

The winners are as follows:

Grand prize winner: Stairway to the Future Tower by Matthew

This building will be available to Level 6 players for 60,000,000.

Second Place: Revolving Restaurant and Blimp by Zoungy

This building will be available to Level 4 players for 11,000,000.

Third Place: Spiral Scraper Luxe by Brendo

This building will be available to Level 3 players for 2,500,000.

Thanks for all the entries. If you’d like to see all of the creations, please visit the competition collection in the Google 3D Warehouse.

We hope you enjoy incorporating these new buildings into your game!

Blog Etiquette Reminders

We're pleased to see that the MONOPOLY City Streets community has been able to use this blog to provide peer assistance to fellow players, negotiate trades and generally keep in touch. However, as the games heat up so, too, can the discussion. We’ve been deleting quite a few comments lately, and to remind everyone about playing (and posting) in the spirit of MONOPOLY, we'd like to share the following reminders about blog etiquette for this family-friendly game.

1. Disparaging remarks about other users are not permitted on this blog. We will also not allow obscenities, profanities, incitements or intimidation.

2. Off-site links should be relevant and appropriate for the content and character of this blog.

3. The MONOPOLY game is a property trading game. Discussion of real-life legal issues on the blog can, therefore, create confusion among players and is not permitted.

4. Please bring suspected cheaters to our attention by reporting them through the in-game “contact us” feature. The comments section of the blog is not the correct venue to make accusations of cheating against other players.

5. We reserve the right to remove any comment from this blog, or suspend any user, but have no responsibility to do so.

If you believe a comment violates any of the above rules or is in some other way abusive, please contact us through the link in the game.

If we continue to receive comments that violate these points, we will disable comments on the blog.
