19 fun photos as families take part in Monopoly Leeds Takeover with giant game tokens scattered across city

Families in Leeds turned out in their hundreds to hunt for giant Monopoly tokens scattered across the city.

The Monopoly Leeds Takeover, which launched on Saturday (July 27), has already seen plenty of enthusiasts take part in the fun.

Inspired by the iconic game, the brand new immersive experience from LeedsBID sees players compete to solve puzzles across the city.

Huge game tokens - including the instantly recognisable Scottish Terrier and Top Hat - have been scattered across locations such as the Victoria Quarter and Trinity Leeds. Families race across the city with a map looking for the tokens at key landmarks, where they will be given clues to buy back the city from Mr Monopoly.

Here are 19 of the best photos taken on the first day of the game -
