With Macca’s Monopoly, there are two main ways to win a prize – you can get Instant Win cards, or you can collect all the properties within one colour set. And every year, there’s one rare token for every colour – one that’s a lot harder to find than the others.
If you’re playing McDonalds Monopoly in Australia, you’ll no doubt have your eyes on the top prize.
But after a major overhaul for 2025, there are some big changes for how you play, and for the properties you’re aiming for.
Brisbane or Mayfair?
Up to and including the 2024 version of Maccas Monopoly in Australia, the game was based on the traditional UK game board, and Mayfair was one of the dark blue properties.
That’s now changed, and for 2025 the game is based on Australian destinations. Brisbane has taken the place of Mayfair.
What’s also unusual – and a change for the Australian version of the game – is that the dark blue properties don’t get you the best prize in the game. Collecting Brisbane and Blue Mountains will still net you a pretty cool prize – a Kincrome Ultimate Garage Kit worth around AUD$8,000. But it isn’t the top prize.
Mayfair wasn’t the rare property, but Brisbane is.
Mayfair was not one of the rare properties in McDonalds Monopoly last year, which means that really its place has been taken by Blue Mountains.
The rare dark blue card in 2024 was Park Lane, which means Brisbane replaces that one.
See this list of rare Maccas Monopoly pieces to know which ones you should be on the lookout for.
Considering the reputation that Mayfair has in the board game for being the most expensive and ‘best’ property on the board, a lot of people used to get excited if they found it during Macca’s Monopoly. Hopefully that won’t be an issue now the game tokens have been swapped.
The odds of pulling Brisbane haven’t been made clear in the terms and conditions, but we can estimate it as apparently you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning a prize, and there are almost 50 million prizes to be won.
As only one prize is available for completing the Navy set, that means you’ve around a 1 in 150 million chance of winning it.
Here’s what to do if you get Brisbane
Once you pull Brisbane, you just need to keep playing until you also get Blue Mountains.
It’s not like in previous years where you had physical tickets to collect – everything is now done via the app.
So you’ll just need to keep ordering food using the app until you claim the matching token.
The bottom line
Mayfair used to feel like a special property due to its value in the main Monopoly board game, but as a token in Macca’s Monopoly it was fairly common.
Of course that’s all changed now, and so Brisbane is the Navy property to look out for – happy hunting if you want that garage kit!
