Monopoly GO! used a unique TikTok AR filter and other social media strategies to drive users to an in-app competition event. To promote the new Tycoon Racers competition event, Scopely launched a UA campaign that included a TikTok AR filter mini-game, TikTok influencers, and Facebook giveaways. The event ran from June 12–16 and increased revenue, downloads, and DAU by 33%, 6.8%, and 6% 5Do5D, respectively.

The Tycoon Racers AR filter led to a substantial amount of user-generated content. In the AR filter racing mini-game, players use their heads to move a car from side to side to avoid obstacles and collect icons for points. Monopoly GO!’s TikTok account reposted videos from influencers who encouraged users to try the mini-game, beat their high scores, and make their own videos. TikTok users created nearly 600 TikToks on Monopoly GO!’s official channel for the promotion.
