monopoly here & now

After a long wait due to technical difficulties, Pogo has finally implemented the Mystery Movers in Monopoly.

The Code to Unlock the MONOPOLY Mystery Movers is Coming Soon!

You’ve been waiting a long time for this! We are delighted to announce that the new movers for MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition is Coming Soon! That’s right, you read correctly– the code is Coming Soon!

To unlock them for your account, visit the code entry page and enter the code “Coming Soon” (without the quotes).

The mystery pieces are as follows: a cactus, an alien spaceship, a tapir, a karate guy, a penguin and a Route 66 sign. Do you know the Pogo significance of each one?

Thanks to Bill, Dan, and George who all wrote in with this news!

Of all of the games that Pogo has promised will get new ranks (cough, KenoPop, cough) and older games that surely could use new ranks (cough, Hog Heaven Slots, cough), we’re surprised to see Monopoly come up as the next one to get them. We guess Monopoly money really does talk! We’ll keep you posted if we hear when these new ranks will be added.
