Monopoly GO is a fun and fast-paced mobile version of the classic Monopoly board game, combining elements of chance, strategy, and social interaction. One of the best features of Monopoly GO is the ability to play with friends, send each other stickers, and earn rewards through social gameplay. In this detailed guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to play Monopoly GO with friends, including how to invite, remove, and manage friends, even without using Facebook.
To play with friends in Monopoly GO, you need to be connected to your Scopely account. Once logged in, follow these steps to start adding and interacting with your friends:
Open the game and tap the Friends icon, usually found on the main screen.
You will see several options for inviting friends:
Facebook: If your game is linked to Facebook, you can easily find and add your Facebook friends who also play Monopoly GO.
Friend Code: Each player has a unique friend code. Share your code or enter your friend's code to send an invitation.
Invite Link: You can generate a unique friend link to send via messaging apps or email.
After your friend accepts the request, they will be added to your in-game friends list. From there, you can visit their boards, participate in events together, and gift each other stickers.
If you don’t want to link your Facebook account, that’s perfectly fine. Scopely has made it easy to connect with friends using alternative methods:
Use Friend Codes: Go to the Friends tab and select “Add Friend.” Then enter your friend’s code or give them yours.
Share Invite Links: Tap the “Invite Friends” option to generate a custom URL that you can share. This method doesn’t require Facebook and works across various platforms.
Scopely Account Sync: Make sure your game is synced with your Scopely account to avoid losing progress when playing across devices. You can still add and play with friends even without Facebook by syncing this way.
Each player is assigned a unique friend code, which can be found in the Friends menu. To add a friend using a code:
Open the Friends section.
Tap “Add Friend.”
Enter your friend’s code and hit send.
This is the most reliable method for connecting with friends who are not on Facebook. Make sure both players are using the latest version of the game for the best experience.
Sometimes the friend link may not work as expected. This can be due to several reasons:
Expired Link: Links are usually time-sensitive or limited to a number of uses.
Incorrect Region: Players in different countries might have app versions that cause compatibility issues.
Browser or App Conflict: Opening the link in a browser instead of directly through the app can sometimes break the connection.
To fix this, try these tips:
Ask your friend to generate a new link.
Ensure both players have the latest version of the game installed.
Try copying and pasting the link directly into your phone’s browser or opening it while the app is running in the background.
One of the most enjoyable parts of having friends in Monopoly GO is earning Friendship Pays rewards. This system gives you in-game bonuses like stickers, cash, or dice rolls for interacting with friends daily. Rewards can include:
Visiting a friend’s board
Sending or receiving stickers
Participating in co-op events
It’s a great incentive to stay connected with your Monopoly GO friends and check in regularly.
If you ever want to clean up your friends list or remove someone, here’s how you can do it:
Open the Friends tab.
Tap on the friend’s profile you want to remove.
Look for the option to “Remove Friend” or a similar icon.
Confirm the removal.
Once removed, the person will no longer appear on your friends list, and they won’t be able to visit your board or send you stickers.
Playing Monopoly GO with friends adds a whole new layer of excitement and reward to the game. Whether you’re building sticker collections together, racing through events, or simply enjoying some friendly competition, the social aspect makes Monopoly GO far more engaging. With or without Facebook, you can easily build a network of friends using friend codes and invite links. Just make sure to stay updated, sync your progress, and watch out for expired links to keep the experience smooth.
