Monopoly is back at McDonald's.
A McDonald's restaurant sits at 32nd Street and Indian School Road in Phoenix, Arizona.
Registered players can redeem Monopoly prizes one of two ways: 1.) "Peel" directly on the McDonald's app or 2.) Peel from package and upload QR code on the McDonald's app.

Starting next week, McDonald’s customers will “rediscover the thrill of the peel” with the return of Monopoly at participating restaurants nationwide after a 10-year hiatus.

The fast-food chain is changing things up by introducing “digital game pieces” on the McDonald’s app in addition to the classic game pieces when the limited-time promotion kicks off on Monday, Oct. 6.

“Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a first-time player, we’re giving fans even more ways to play in the McDonald’s app... because two chances to win are always better than one,” the company announced on Sept. 29.

From dream vacations to a $1 million cash prize, a slew of “epic prizes” are available for the taking.

All you have to do is “order your faves from the Monopoly at McDonald’s menu, then peel and play – using the app to collect your property pieces and redeem any prizes you win.”

Here’s what you need to know this time around, including how to play.

What kind of prizes can you win?

From 1 million American Airlines AAdvantage miles to a $50,000 Vacation to a MONOPOLY GO! Location to a $10,000 Lowe’s Shopping Spree, registered players are entering the game for a chance to win from a “pool of amazing prizes.”

And the fun doesn’t stop there. Players will also have the opportunity to win free food prizes throughout the game period, in addition to prizes from a “Bonus Play” win, such as a 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited or $1 million in cash.

“Don’t just dream of MONOPOLY Money - come play for the real thing,” McDonald’s said. “The next big winner could be you!”

According to McDonald’s, there are more than 30 eligible menu items across the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, including the Quarter Pounder with Cheese and large fries.

How to play McDonald’s Monopoly

Signing up to play the game, just like following the game’s rules, is pretty simple. All you have to do is follow three steps:

  • Download the McDonald’s app, click “Rewards,” and then you’ll be able to register to play the game (If you pre-register between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5, you get 500 bonus MyMcDonald’s Rewards points.)
  • Get to ordering! Registered players can order select menu items and get a “game piece,” either physical or digital, to play with starting Oct. 6 (To play McDonald’s Monopoly without making a purchase, visit amoe.playatmcd.com to request a game piece.)
  • “Peel” to find out what you’ve won. (For digital game pieces, you can “peel” to find out your prize directly in the McDonald’s app, and for physical game pieces, you peel directly from the packaging, then scan the QR code with the McDonald’s app.)

Registered players will also get a “second chance” to win through Nov. 2, if they choose to play an in-app bonus game.
