From the What Will They Think of Next? desk comes the news that a Monopoly-themed attraction will open in Hong Kong in June. Monopoly Dreams, which will be located at The Peak Galleria, will use a combinatio­n of augmented reality technology and 4D interactiv­e projection­s to bring Mr Monopoly’s mansion to life. Guests must help safeguard the millionair­e’s riches from the clutches of a mysterious stranger. Familiar elements including the Chance and Opportunit­y cards and the railroads and waterworks all play their part in the experience. Also available, naturally, will be Monopoly-themed snacks and souvenirs. We’ve tracked down three travel essentials — this week, GoPro accessorie­s — with three price options

1 ECONOMY: The Shorty is a handy mini extension pole and tripod, which will fit easily inside your backpack on an adventurou­s day out. Pocket-size, it compresses to just under 12cm, while extended it reaches to nearly 23cm. It is compatible with several different Hero models; make sure yours is one of them.

$70 from 2 BUSINESS: GoPros come into their own under water, and the Super Suit Dive Housing for the Hero5 Black will keep your camera well protected to a depth of 60m. With its flat glass lens, it will also keep your camera safe from

flying gravel, dirt or debris. The casing comes with two waterproof back doors, one skeleton back door to help capture sound, a mounting buckle and a long thumb screw. $100 from 3 FIRST CLASS: We’re not sure why you would, but this GoPro Smart Remote allows you to control up to 50 cameras at one time, from up to 180m away. Compatible with several models of GoPro, the Smart Remote is waterproof up to 10m and is mountable and wearable thanks to its handy keyring and wrist strap. $150 from
