1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Now Territorians are being told to prepare for the Ultimate

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Game Night, with a Monopoly Darwin edition being launched in

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: March this year. The board game is set to pay

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: tribute to everything that is loved about Darwin and joining

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: us on the line to tell us a little bit more.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Is Jamie Lee denied? Good morning to you, Jamie Lee.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: Morning, Katie. How are you?

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm really good. Now you are a representative who's developing

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: the Darwin Monopoly board. What can we expect to feature

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: on this board? Oh?

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: The bord will feature all the best things that Darwin

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: has to offer. So the monopoly, you know, stays the

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: same incentive how you play it, but instead of things

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: like Old Kent Road or Pool Moor, may fare paying

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: with things like Potato Gardens or Pussily Darwin Waterfront or

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: other businesses our favorite attractions around town.

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: And so is it still in the in the development phase?

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Can people have their their ideas heard? Still?

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: Definitely. I haven't actually even started actually come to Darwin

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: next Sunday, so up in town. I'm so excited my

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: first time up there.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: Oh wonder day.

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a little bit hotter than what

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: Brisbane is at the moment.

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: How work How does the process work in terms of

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: kind of working out the locations that might be best

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: placed on the board.

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we take suggestions from the public through our

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: Facebook's page. It's just called Darlin Monopoly. So I suggest

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: for everybody to jump on there and throw your suggestions

31
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: and we have a look about. You know, we work

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: with the Council, the tourism boards just to see what

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: the best things to do in Darwina and then we

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: will work with alongside sort of you know, the local

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: businesses and everything like that to make it iconic as possible.

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: Awesome idea. Now, how did Darwin end up securing its

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: own its own game?

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: Well, the first time we actually created an addition for

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: the Northern territories back in twenty nineteen. It was the

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Red Center once a little bit down south of Northern Territory.

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: But you know, I thought at that time that we

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: did Darwin was done some of the other capital cities

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: in Australia, so Darwin had a lot to offer as well.

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: How successful are these boards when you when you know,

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: when you do go with the different locations for monopoly.

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it's actually proven that it's more successful if than

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: like say, like your licensed ones such as like Carry

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Potter or Swishmallows or Mario. Because people think of the

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: locations that they visited, seen or you know, stayed out

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: or have fond memories of as children, and they like

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: to relieve those memories as they're playing the game.

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: And it's a great gift as well, right, Like I know,

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: if I was buying something for you know, for a

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: family member interstate, it's like it's a really cool gift

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: to be able to send them something that's uniquely Darwin.

56
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: And especially send them into states so then when they

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: come up to visit you, they can visit all the

58
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: locations on the monopoly board.

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is so true. And do people get a

60
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: bit upset if they don't getting included on the monopoly board.

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: Look, I can't keep everybody happy. There are only you know,

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: thirty squares that I can feel so and lots of locations.

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: That's why I always suggest, you know, get in touch

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: with us, let us know you're interested if you want

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: to be involved in it, or get those suggestions through.

66
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: Because I am not an expert on Darwin. You guys are.

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh this is so cool. Now, how successful are

68
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: some of these monopoly boards for for some of our

69
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: smaller Aussie towns as well. I know you mentioned just

70
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: a moment ago Alice Springs or Central Australia. We know

71
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: as well there was one for mounta Isser. So they're

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: not always like the big name capital cities.

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: No correct, you know, and places like you know for example,

74
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: small country town has had one of the busiest business,

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: biggest successes. Sorry I'm English today on our editions, you know.

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: So yes, we have our massive cities like you know, Kansas,

77
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: Darwin or Sydney. But when you have these towns, you've

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: also got the locals that love it and want to

79
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: you celebrate being on a monopoly board. So they work

80
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: for BM small yeah, and.

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: Do you reckon that is because they've got that real

82
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: pride and they want other people to sort of find

83
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: out a bit more about.

84
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: Their talent one hundred percent. Because you know, we do

85
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: only create these editions once, whether it is the official

86
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: Darla monopoly. We're never going to come back and do

87
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: it again. We want to make sure we get it

88
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: right from the get go, so that's why we it's

89
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: important that we get all that feedback from everybody.

90
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: How good will Jamie Lee just remind us where exactly

91
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: people need to go if they're keen to give their

92
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: feedback and if they want to try and get a

93
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: specific location included.

94
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: Easiest way jump on Facebook and go to the Darwen

95
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: Monopoly Facebook page. More than welcome to obviously emails through

96
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: to us at whennimove dot com dot you. But I

97
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: check Facebook every day, so that's the easiest way to go.

98
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: And when exactly is it going to be released?

99
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: It will be early next year, so roughly about the

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: March April before it gets a bit crazy and when

101
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: I've heard it's quite busy from May, so we want

102
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: to make sure that we get it in town ready

103
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: to go, and then busier for the Christmas period next year.

104
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Wonderful stuff. Well, we'll make sure that we catch up

105
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: with you again at some point to find out what's

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: being included or is it literally like you find out

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: once it's released.

108
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: So everything is very much lock and key until it's released,

109
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: you know. So mister Monopoly will be up and up

110
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: the Northern Territory next year, you know, having to look

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: around and announcing the official edition, So make sure you

112
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: keep your eyes out on Facebook to get those little

113
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: hencil ticks and where we're going to be and what

114
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: we'll be doing.

115
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: Ah, good stuff. Well, lovely to speak to you this morning,
