Character Spotlight ‘SSCI’

Surveying Monopoly has been created with one big vision: to bring the world of geospatial surveying into a household game that families around the world can play, enjoy and learn from together. Across the board, real surveying and geospatial organisations are represented by their own unique characters, places and technology, showcasing just how varied and exciting the profession can be.

But who are the characters taking their places on the board, and what do they tell us about the real world of surveying? It’s time to meet them! Through a quick-fire Q&A, we’ll discover the inspiration behind each character, their favourite surveying tools, what their organisation does, and even where in the world they’d most like to survey.

Let’s learn some more about Surveyors Supply Company Inc and their character Kaha Loa:

What is your name? Kaha loa. 

This is a Hawaiian phrase which translates to “long place”

What tool would you never leave the office or field without? – Sledgehammer

Which square on the surveying Monopoly board would your character most like to visit and why? Bathymetry Blvd because we love working & playing in the ocean

What is the coolest thing about surveying that kids might not know?  Surveying allows you to travel to places & explore unique places others aren’t able to.

How does your company help surveyors measure, map, or build the world around us? We provide all supplies & products a surveyor would need!  We rent, repair, sell, & service surveying equipment & marking / measurement products.

If you could travel anywhere in the world to survey, where would you go? Antarctica because it would be a challenging place to survey & it would be fun to adapt & figure out how to complete a survey. Plus it would be totally different than working in Hawaii.
