Charlotte, N.C. has been announced as the next stop for the U.S. tour of MONOPOLY LIFESIZED: Travel Edition. With a permanent destination in London, MONOPOLY LIFESIZED saw its U.S. premiere in Denver last year. This interactive way to play the world’s favorite family board game will begin previews Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at Blumenthal Arts’ Blume Studios (904 Post St.). Tickets, starting at $39.99, go on sale Friday, April 11 at 10 a.m. here.
Step into the high-stakes world of MONOPOLY in this unique experience where the classic game meets escape room style challenges to buy property and secure victory. MONOPOLY LIFESIZED: Travel Edition puts players in a life-sized version of the iconic game, navigating the familiar properties like Boardwalk, Park Place, Water Works and more. Players will solve clever puzzles, collect properties and outsmart opponents before time runs out. Each team will use strategic thinking to unlock hidden clues, crack codes and avoid the dreaded "Go to Jail" trap. Friends, families and corporate groups will all love this fast-paced, fun immersion into the world of MONOPOLY. Players can also stop by the Top Hat Lounge, a bar within the venue where they can enjoy delicious snacks, refreshing drinks and a wide selection of board games to play.
This large-scale interactive experience will take place at Blume Studios, a dynamic 32,000-square-foot venue in Charlotte’s Iron District, on the borders of South End and Uptown. Once a pipe foundry for 120 years, the space has been reimagined by Blumenthal Arts into a vibrant creative hub.
