Electronic Arts and Hasbro today proclaimed Thursday, April 7, 2011, as Global Monopoly Day on Facebook. Monopoly fans around the world are invited to play Monopoly Millionaires on Facebook to win more than $20,000 in prizes and participate in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Records title. The attempt will be measured by the greatest number of people worldwide simultaneously playing Monopoly Millionaires on Facebook. Official adjudicators will be monitoring the game over a 24-hour period from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PST on April 7. Players can take part during that time frame through Monopoly Millionaires on Facebook and can RSVP to participate at the Global Monopoly Day event page on Facebook any time prior to 11:59 p.m. PST on April 7.
To celebrate Global Monopoly Day on Facebook, EA is promoting local meet ups around the globe through Meetup.com – the world’s largest network of local groups – in which fans can gather to play Monopoly Millionaires in the attempt to set the Guinness World Records title.
