Empty stores in Britain are getting a new lease of life by transforming into life-sized board game attractions.

David Hutchinson is the boss of Path Entertainment Group who are responsible for the new idea.

He plans to expand to more locations following the success of Monopoly Lifesized in London.

The way it works is that teams of people get to walk around a real-life board and throw huge dice while actors play the role of the classic tokens.

Many locations have popped up across London, with plans to expand in the north in upcoming months.

David said: "The idea is to take world-class concepts like Monopoly, to go into major high street locations which obviously have become quite available in recent years due to the move towards online, which has obviously been accelerated by Covid.

"We want to be part of the rebirth of the high street through leisure and art concepts.

"We got a building on a long lease in London for Monopoly, and we’re looking in other cities for large square-footage in former stores and restaurants which are now empty.

"The high street cannot rely on retail any more, not with click and collect and buying things online.

"We feel we’ve got an opportunity here to be part of the drive back to the high street."

David reckons that the new stores will have knock-on benefits for other surrounding shops and restaurants.

He added: "It all benefits, and brings people back to city centres.

"These city centres now have considerable buildings that are empty, and we still need to find an economy for that.

"I think we feel this is definitely the way it is going.

“It will take a while to build up, but we have to give people a reason to come back into city centres."

Experience the thrill of trying to stage a heist in Mayfair, competing against a clock to build some of London’s iconic buildings, solving a baffling murder mystery or stepping into the world of codebreakers.

"Win the challenge. Buy the property. Own it all.
