Monopoly’s Secret Role in World War II (Family: High Cognitive)

Monopoly’s Secret Role in World War II turns a familiar family board game into a thrilling story of espionage, clever invention, and daring escapes. Spelers follow MI9, the British intelligence group that used everyday objects to smuggle escape tools into German POW camps. The lesson reveals how ordinary Monopoly sets were transformed into survival kits—stuffed with silk maps, hollow tokens hiding compasses and saws, real foreign currency, fake charities, coded packaging, and secret markings hidden in plain sight.
