The McDonald’s Monopoly Game is one of the fast-food chain’s most popular promotions, giving customers the chance to win free food, cash, cars, vacations, and more just by buying menu favorites. Inspired by the classic Monopoly board game, McDonald’s first launched this promotion in 1987, and it’s been a fan favorite ever since.
How the Game Works
During the promotion period, for 2025, it starts October 6 in the United States — select menu items come with peel-off game pieces attached to packaging like drink cups, fries, and sandwiches.
Each game piece reveals either:
- Instant Win prizes: free fries, burgers, drinks, or small rewards you can redeem right away.
- Property codes: collectible stickers representing Monopoly board spaces (like Boardwalk or Park Place).
Players can now use the McDonald’s app to scan property codes, which are stored digitally so you can easily track your progress. Collecting a full color-matched property set can unlock major prizes such as $1 million cash, new cars, vacations, or shopping sprees.
