QSRs Lean Into Themed Offerings

From McDonald’s bringing back its Monopoly game to Burger King’s ‘Monster Menu,’ here’s what’s new.

October 01, 2025

McDonald’s is bringing back the Monopoly Game at McDonald’s for the first time in nearly a decade, the QSR announced.

Starting October 6 for a limited time, McDonald’s said fans across the country can “rediscover the thrill of the peel—with new twists like digital game pieces when ordering select items using the app alongside the classic game pieces customers know and love on select menu items.”

Customers can peel and play after ordering anything from the McDonald’s menu and use the app to collect property pieces and redeem prizes like vacations, a car, free food and more.

Over at Burger King, things are getting spooky with the launch of the first-ever Monster Menu, “featuring a line of hauntingly tasty twists on fan-favorite items inspired by some of the most iconic monsters.”

Available now, the Monster Menu creations are:

  • Jack-O-Lantern Whopper: A Whopper with American cheese, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, ketchup and mayo, on a Jack O’ Lantern orange bun that gets its hue from natural spice, topped with black sesame seeds.
  • Vampire Nuggets: Chicken nuggets shaped like vampire fangs and bats served in a carton designed as a coffin.
  • Mummy Mozzarella Fries: Mozzarella sticks paired with a marinara dipping sauce and served in a special limited-edition mummy-themed box.
  • Franken-Candy Sundae: Vanilla soft serve topped with Oreo cookie crumbles, purple franken-candy syrup, and purple and green popping candy.

Meanwhile, Krispy Kreme recently launched its Fall Fair doughnut collection. Inspired by fair treats, the lineup features:

  • Cotton Candy Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in vibrant blue icing and coated with cotton candy flavored sugar, topped with strawberry-flavored icing swirl and a fluffy cotton candy-flavored buttercreme dollop.
  • Kreme™ Puff Doughnut: An unglazed ring doughnut swirled with Kreme, dusted with sweet, powdered coating and crowned with a Doughnut Dot.
  • Blue Ribbon Apple Pie Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut with apple cinnamon filling, dipped in gooey caramel flavored icing, sprinkled with cinnamon cookie crumbs and drizzled with white icing.
  • Caramel Churro Doughnut: A doughnut covered in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel flavored icing.
