The popularity of the mobile board game Monopoly Go has been increasing since its release. The various exquisite items in it meet the players’ collection needs, and its player base has gradually expanded.

Due to the success of this game, after another subsidiary of the same parent company as the game planned to produce a reality show series based on the game, about 40 companies competed for its production rights.

The Competition For Production Rights

Finally, its production rights were successfully won by Netflix some time ago. Netflix is a streaming service platform that provides viewers with a large number of TV series, movies, animations, documentaries, etc.

Due to the fierce competition for the production rights of this show, the number of companies involved in the competition is almost catching up with the number of blocks on Monopoly Go board. Therefore, its production process has always been the focus of discussion in the unscripted business.

The person in charge of Netflix said that the growing number of downloads after the release of Monopoly Go and the huge value it created were the reasons why he decided to get the project without any pitch in part.

The Selection Of Production Partners

In addition, he also believes that the gameplay of Monopoly Go will be successfully combined with the gameplay of the unscripted series. Specifically, it is to combine the parts of the game that fascinate players, think about how players interact with each other in the real world, how items in the game such as Monopoly Go Stickers are presented in the real world and how the game mechanics work.

However, the reality show is still in its early stages and Netflix has no ideas. In addition, many producers and production companies have contacted Netflix and asked if they can cooperate or participate in this exciting competition so that they can also have the opportunity to produce this project.

In this regard, the head of the department said that Netflix members do not want to limit these individuals or organizations seeking cooperation, and they plan to determine the partners who can realize the above ideas through a competition.

The specific details of the competition are that only production companies that are invited or approved by senior executives can participate in this competition and then sign a two-page contract with Netflix.

The contract emphasizes whether the winning company can obtain the subsequent copyright of the work and requires them to submit a brief introduction of the plan.

The competition had several elimination rounds, and only about 15 companies were shortlisted for the finals. The final winner will then be determined through a 15-minute pitch.

Considering that there may not be ideas that Netflix is satisfied with, another possible outcome of the competition is to select a few companies and ask them to further improve their ideas.

Netflix hopes that the final effect of Monopoly Go reality show series will be similar to popular works such as Squid Game: The Challenge.

The Views On The Competition

However, some people think that this competition will waste people’s time and resources. In my opinion, even if the company does not win the final victory, it has the opportunity to show the outside world their ideas and strengths, which may open another door for them to have the opportunity to cooperate with industry giants.

In short, this reality show series has received a lot of attention even in its early stages of thought. Its production process will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources. So we also hope that the final effect will not disappoint the audience and players.
