Property
Tycoon Race
The city is the board. The pubs are the properties. The drinks are the money. Build the most valuable empire - and steal your rivals' locals while you're at it.
Two full sets. First team there takes the crown.
Thirty pubs across the map, each one a property with its own price - just like the famous board game. They're grouped into sets of three, spread deliberately far apart.
To claim a pub, your team visits it and "pays" the purchase price in drinks. Complete two full sets before anyone else and it's game over.
Along the way: steal rival pubs, block their sets, and argue about tactics like it's a family Christmas.
How to play
Buy properties (with rounds) 🍻
Every pub has a price, and your drinks are the money. Order a round together and the pub is yours - the fancier the pub, the bigger the round.
Prove it 📸
Snap your drinks, post them in the group chat, and watch your empire grow on the live board.
Steal your rivals' pubs 💥
Need a pub someone else owns? Turn up, outspend them, and take it. Choose your heists wisely - every pub can only be stolen once.
Win 🏁
First team to complete two full property sets wins. Then everyone converges on the final pub for the trophy - and the debrief of who betrayed whom.
Chance cards. But real.
Throughout the game, Chance cards drop into the group chat without warning. Complete them for bonus Tycoon Money - or ignore them and watch a braver team snatch the lead.
Full team selfie under the roundel. Bonus if a stranger joins in.
Find yourselves some bars and look suitably remorseful. Do not pass Go.
Top hat and monocle from whatever the pub can offer. Moustaches encouraged.
FAQs
Can we personalise the game?
Yes - we build the property map around your area, and we can rename pubs after your meeting rooms, clients or colleagues. Custom Chance cards about your company are a favourite.
Do we have to drink alcohol?
Not at all - every drink has a value, softs included. Teetotal tycoons have won before.
How long does a game last?
2.5 to 3 hours of trading and treachery, plus the winners' ceremony at the final pub.
How many people can play?
15 to 200, in teams of 4-6. More teams means more stealing, which means more drama.
Do we need to know London?
Not a bit. Everyone gets the same map - local knowledge helps less than ruthlessness.
What do we need to bring?
A phone with WhatsApp, comfy shoes and a healthy distrust of your colleagues. We provide everything else.
