Scopely’s approach to user engagement played a crucial role in reaching the $3 billion mark according to Sensor Tower. The company implemented a series of engaging in-game events, regular updates, and community-driven features that kept players coming back. Social connectivity features, such as the ability to play with friends and join clubs, also enhanced user retention, fostering a loyal and active player base.
Scopely employed a mix of in-app purchases and ad placements that were seamlessly integrated into the gameplay. Special offers, exclusive in-game items, and limited-time events encouraged players to make purchases, significantly boosting revenue.
Data analytics was another critical element in Scopely’s strategy. By analyzing player behavior and preferences, Scopely tailored the gaming experience to meet user expectations and optimize engagement. This data-driven approach enabled Scopely to make informed decisions about game updates, event planning, and marketing strategies, ensuring sustained growth and player satisfaction.

Walter Driver, Scopely co-CEO
As anyone in the games industry knows all too well, the road to success is never linear. There were moments during the seven-year development process to get to ‘MONOPOLY GO!’ where we questioned if we were on the right path, and, to be perfectly honest, there were plenty of times when we were not, [but ultimately] the creative process requires magic, resilience, dead ends, and discovery, and if you are patient enough and passionate about going on that journey, the outcomes can be exceptional
Javier Ferreira, Scopely co-CEO
