Reality Games Raises $4.7M
Reality Games Raises $4.7M to Launch Location-Based Monopoly World.
Reality Games has secured a $4.7 million seed round to accelerate the development of Monopoly World, a location-based mobile game that transforms the iconic board game into an interactive real-world experience. The funding, backed by angel investors and strategic partners, will enable the company to expand globally, enhance AI-driven gameplay, and integrate real-world economic elements into the game.
Bringing Monopoly to the Real World
Powered by big data, AI, and geolocation technology, Monopoly World reimagines the classic board game by allowing players to buy, sell, and trade over 100 million real-world locations. Unlike traditional Monopoly, the game introduces a ‘walk-to-earn’ mechanic that encourages exploration. Players earn in-game currency by moving around their cities, which can be used to unlock brand promotions, loyalty rewards, and real-world benefits.
With successful soft launches in Poland and the Philippines, Reality Games is now focusing on global expansion. The funding will support scaling AI solutions, expanding partnerships with global brands, and refining the in-game economy.
