Mall Madness

Mall Madness is a shopping themed board game released by Milton Bradley in 1988.

When arriving at a store, players can make purchases with their credit card by inserting it into the computer's "buy" slot.

Two special-edition Hannah Montana and Littlest Pet Shop versions of the board game were released in 2008.

[3] Mall Madness included the following pieces: Original versions of the game featured an electronic computer to dictate gameplay.

The top of the computer featured three buttons; one to start or reset gameplay, one to begin and end turns, and one to repeat the last announcement.

In 1990, Milton Bradley, under its Parker Brothers brand, released an updated version of the 1984 Mystery Mansion board game, adding an electronic voice device.

Michael Gray, the creator of Mall Madness, also designed Omega Virus and Dream Phone.

With the release of the 2020 edition, Julien McCluney, vice president of global brand strategy and marketing at Hasbro, told Bustle, “In the original Mall Madness – as well as the new edition – the game is centered around the exciting experience of going on a shopping spree with friends, the fact that so many adults reminisce about the original [game] more than 30 years after its initial release speaks volumes to its place in pop culture!”[4]
