The McDonald’s Monopoly Original Race promotion is run every year, involving an on-pack promotion, which gives customers vouchers showing a promo code with products they buy from McDonalds. With this code, the customer goes online and enters the game designed this year by UNIT9, to have a chance to win 10,000 Euro every day.

To make the win/no win situation more fun and engage users, UNIT9 directors collective Helpful Strangers were asked to create a YouTube channel takeover. The race takes place on a gigantic version of the Monopoly board in a flash based branded YouTube channel.
