Singapore has achieved another world’s record, this time at Universal Studio Singapore where 605 participants including Our Parenting World’s (OPW) team gathered to play Monopoly and at the same time, celebrated Mr Monopoly, the real estate tycoon, 81st birthday on World Monopoly Day!
Monopoly is a board game that originated in the United States in 1903 and over the years, it has quickly become one of the most popular and well-loved games in the world. Our Parenting World’s boys are very happy and proud to be part of this historic event to break the Guinness World Record!

During the event, participants were treated to an exclusive meet and greet with MR. MONOPOLY (above), Optimus Prime and Bumblebee which provided a larger-than-life experience to the event by cheering on the participants.
Before the start of the event, the 2 brothers have a feel playing with the latest MONOPOLY EMPIRE game. As participants must be at least 8 years old, the younger brother could not take part but nevertheless, he cheered and supported his older brother and friends taking part in this record breaking moment. All participants taking part in the event must play continuously for 30 minutes from start of the game and play without any break.
Roll the dice, “Pass GO!”
Once the event has started, older brother played continuously with other players. Congratulations and well done to all the participants!
