Scopely has announced a Simpsons crossover in Monopoly Go, which has been created in partnership with the team behind the long-running animated series. Starting June 3 and continuing through July 29, the event will see iconic Springfield locations given a Monopoly Go makeover.

If you’re a magazine collector and you want to add these to your library, these issues of People Magazine will hit newsstands on June 5. Subscribers should expect to see them in their mailbox starting today.

Some of the new gameplay twists include hidden details, deep-cut references, and Easter eggs. Find yourself in jail, and you can even bribe Chief Wiggum to get out of the joint early.
