Over 900 people played Monopoly to honor girl who died and loved the game, setting world record

Over 900 people played a Monopoly game to set a world record.

The late March event, which earned the Guinness World Record for most people playing Monopoly, was held in Sydney, Australia, to honor a young girl who loved the game.

The parents of Alegra Vasiliou, who died from brain cancer in 2017 at the age of six, cherish the memory of playing Monopoly with their daughter, who “would always uphold the rules and beg for just one more rematch,” according to Guinness World Records.

“We really wanted to create a space that allowed for both young and old to come together, celebrate her and accomplish something that everyone would be proud of,” her mom, Sue-Ellan, told the record book.

“All whilst raising awareness for the disease that took our daughter – brain cancer.”

Players broke up into over 150 tables of six, all using an officially-licensed version of the game, which had Alegra’s image on it.

The Little Legs Foundation, which was created in Alegra’s memory to raise awareness for brain cancer, hosted the March 30 event, which bested the previous world record of 733.

“To say you broke a Guinness World Records title isn’t something very common. To say you have your very own version of Monopoly dedicated to you is even more rare,” Sue-Ellan continued.

“But Alegra has her very own Army, and together we have the power to do so much in this world.”
