Monopoly GO Treasure Events Ultimate Tips

Monopoly GO Treasure Events are among the most rewarding limited-time mini-games in the game. Players use Pickaxe tokens to uncover hidden treasures across a grid board, earning dice, sticker packs, cash, and exclusive collectibles.

But while the concept looks simple, finishing the event efficiently requires smart resource planning — not just random digging. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to maximize rewards, minimize dice loss, and complete Dig Events like a pro.

What Is the Monopoly GO Dig Event?

The Dig (or Treasure Hunt) event is a solo mini-game mode where:

1. You spend Pickaxes to reveal tiles on a hidden grid 
2. Each grid contains buried treasure shapes 
3. Completing all levels unlocks milestone rewards

Final rewards often include:

1. Thousands of dice rolls 
2. Sticker packs (blue/purple/wild cards) 
3. Cash and exclusive tokens

Each event typically lasts 3–4 days and includes multiple stages with increasing grid complexity.

How to Get Pickaxes (Most Important Resource)?

Pickaxes are the fuel of Dig Events. Without them, progression stops completely. You can consistently collect Pickaxes from:

1. Banner Events - The largest source of pickaxes and Reward scaling increases with milestones. 
2. Side Tournaments - Competitive leaderboard events. Efficient milestone targeting is key (not full completion). 
3. Daily Quick Wins - Guaranteed daily pickaxes. Often overlooked but extremely reliable. 
4. Free Shop Gifts (Every 8 Hours) - Small but consistent passive income.

How to Complete Dig Events Efficiently?

1. NEVER Dig Randomly

One of the most common mistakes new players make in Monopoly GO Dig Events is scattering their pickaxes randomly across the board. This approach might feel intuitive at first, but it significantly reduces efficiency and often leads to wasted resources. By contrast, a more strategic approach focused on zoning allows you to identify treasure areas much faster and conserve valuable resources for later stages.

2. Use the “Checkerboard Scanning Method”

A highly effective early-game strategy is the checkerboard scanning method. This involves digging in an alternating pattern, skipping every other tile to create a grid-like scanning structure. By doing this, you can quickly eliminate large empty areas while gaining enough information to narrow down potential treasure clusters.

3. Switch to“Zone Locking” Immediately

Once you uncover any part of a treasure, your strategy should immediately shift from exploration to concentration. At this point, you should stop scanning new areas and focus entirely on expanding the confirmed zone. Continue expanding outward step-by-step until the entire treasure shape is revealed.

4. Prioritize Large Treasure Detection

Not all treasures are equal in value or efficiency. Some are small (1–2 tiles), while others are significantly larger (6–8 tiles). Understanding this difference is essential for optimizing your pickaxe usage. Large treasure structures, on the other hand, offer the highest efficiency return per pickaxe spent, making them the primary target for optimized gameplay.

Balanced 4-Day Strategy For Monopoly GO Treasure Events

During Days 1 and 2, focus on building your pickaxe reserves and completing only the most efficient early milestones. This gives you a solid resource pool without overcommitting your dice. On Day 3, begin making significant progress through the Dig Event by using the pickaxes you've accumulated and concentrating on confirmed treasure zones. Finally, on Day 4, finish the remaining levels, claim all milestone rewards, and, if possible, leave any excess pickaxes unspent so they can be converted into bonus dice when the event ends. This steady approach is generally more resource-efficient than rushing to complete the event on the first day.
