Bestman Games Limited, one of the leading games companies in Africa, in collaboration with the Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) is set to break a world record for “the most people playing Monopoly simultaneously at a single venue”
On 30th September 2016 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, 1,000 students will vie for the title of the City of Lagos Under-17 Monopoly Championship.
The Under-17 competition has already been preceded by an exciting July “Train-the-Trainer” initiative where the Bestman Games team trained over 100 teachers from the six Educational Districts of the state, on how to play and teach the Monopoly game to students in preparation for the forthcoming competition.
The City of Lagos Edition of Monopoly, launched in December 2012, will be played at the Tournament. This iconic edition of the Monopoly game celebrates the Mega City of Lagos and showcases the legendary city’s historic landmark, its familiar neighbourhoods and streets.
Lagos State Sports Commission recently included the Monopoly Board Game as an Official Sport in the state.
