Tour driver Richard Rodden said the van had attracted a lot of attention in the resort.
"Everybody knows the game. It makes it amusing to stop and talk to the public. We are looking forward to sharing stories about the game at every stop," he said.
During the Queenstown session, Mr Rodden and co-driver Amy Whitechapel found time for a wheelbarrow race with passing children and handed out free Monopoly games for the winners, and $75 Warehouse vouchers.
Liam Cordelle (13), of Queenstown, was keen to see the Monopoly van with his siblings Matthew (10) and Emma (8), after their mother heard it mentioned on the radio.
Monopoly was first sold in 1935 in the US and it soon became a global phenomenon. In 2007, the limited edition New Zealand Here & Now Monopoly set was launched, featuring New Zealand place names.
A new version of the game - Monopoly Revolution - will be launched in September to mark the 75th anniversary.
It will have a new look with a round board, electronic banking and a "game-pod" sound unit, which features both music and sound effects.
