Grand View Secures a Space in the Des Moines Monopoly Edition

December 10, 2025

Grand View University is celebrating a fun moment of community pride as it officially earns a place on the brand new Des Moines edition of the classic Monopoly board game.

Top Trumps USA, the company behind city-themed Monopoly editions across the country, invited the public earlier this year to submit ideas for Des Moines landmarks and institutions to be featured in the game. Grand View supporters quickly rallied behind the effort, highlighting the university’s history, impact, and deep roots in the local community.

As a result, Grand View secured its own square, giving students, alumni, and friends of the university a new way to see their campus represented in a beloved game played in homes across Iowa and beyond.

Celebrate our city and campus by picking up your copy at the GV Bookstore. You can also order online - Order My Des Moines Edition Monopoly Board!

Grand View University has long been part of the Des Moines community, supporting learning and connection. Having a square on the Monopoly board highlights that role and places Grand View alongside other well-known local destinations.
