Rev up your broomsticks, tycoons — Hogwarts Racers is flying into Monopoly GO from January 7th to January 11th! Whether you prefer racing solo or teaming up with friends, this magical racers event is fast-paced, competitive, and packed with high-value rewards. If you’re chasing big prizes and thrilling gameplay, this is one event you won’t want to miss.
Team or Solo Play
Just like other Racers events, Hogwarts Racers lets you compete solo or form a team of up to four players. Team play often offers better reward potential thanks to shared progress and coordinated racing, making it the preferred choice for most players.
Collecting Flags
Flags are the core event currency and fuel your racing runs. You can earn flags through:
Quick Wins
Board pickups
Tournaments
Daily objectives
Event milestones
The more flags you collect, the more chances you’ll have to race and rack up medals.
Dice Popper Mechanics
Once you’ve gathered enough flags, spend 20 flags per roll on the special Dice Popper. Each roll moves you around the Hogwarts Racers track, helping you earn medals, complete laps, and unlock rewards along the way.
Each Hogwarts Racers session includes three races. Your placement in each race determines how many medals you earn:
| Rank | First game | Second game | Third game |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 Medals | 10 Medals | 20 Medals |
| 2 | 8 Medals | 8 Medals | 16 Medals |
| 3 | 6 Medals | 6 Medals | 12 Medals |
| 4 | 4 Medals | 4 Medals | 8 Medals |
Important: Total medals across all races determine your final rewards, so steady, consistent finishes are often more valuable than risky all-or-nothing plays. Any leftover flags at the end of the event are typically converted into Cash or Dice, so nothing goes to waste.

While rewards may vary, players can expect a mix of:
Dice rolls
Cash
Sticker packs
Event-exclusive bonuses
Completing laps and reaching higher medal thresholds unlocks even stronger rewards, making teamwork and planning essential.
Farm flags early: Stockpile flags through Quick Wins, tournaments, and board pickups before committing to races.
Coordinate with teammates: Agree on pacing and strategy — consistent podium finishes usually beat reckless pushes.
Use dice smartly: Time your multipliers and higher rolls to maximize distance per flag spent.
Focus on lap rewards: Completing laps unlocks better prizes, so balance speed with consistency.
January 7th–11th is your window to race, strategize, and win big in Hogwarts Racers. Assemble your team, build your flag reserves, and prepare to dominate the track in one of Monopoly GO’s most exciting competitive events.
