What a challenge, what a day! On Saturday 3rd October, 120 teams from across The Boys’ Brigade took on the Monopoly Challenge 2026, exploring six cities in a race against the clock!

From Edinburgh to London, Birmingham to Bristol, and York to Inverness, teams had just five hours to travel around their city, visit famous landmarks, complete photo challenges and collect as many points as possible.

Armed with their phones, a Monopoly map of their city and plenty of enthusiasm, teams walked, jumped on public transport and worked together to plan their routes and make every minute count.

And what an incredible day it turned out to be! There was plenty of teamwork, laughter, creativity and some brilliant photos along the way. A huge well done to everyone who took part and embraced the challenge so well!

And the Winners Are…

Congratulations to our winning teams in each city. These were …

Birmingham: 72nd Birmingham A

Bristol: 1st Martock & Hamdon A

Edinburgh: 1st Kirkliston

Inverness: 12th Inverness

London: 1st Tewkesbury E

York: Nottingham Battalion A

What You Had to Say…

It was great to have lots of positive feedback from across all six cities from leaders and young people who had enjoyed taking part.

“We had tremendous fun and a very enjoyable day out… If you or your Company have never done it before then you really should if possible!”  David Dring, 1st Measham

“Our teams had a brilliant time in Edinburgh, thanks to everyone involved in organising. It was great to see so many teams taking part!”  Russell Croal, 3rd Falkirk
