Monopoly GO! has a habit of turning into a grind, so when the Roll Treasures event comes back on 4 January 2026 it really feels like a breather, especially if you have been jumping between tournaments and the latest Monopoly Go Partners Event. Instead of chasing ranks or burning through your dice in panic, you get a slower, almost puzzle-like break. The timer is still there in the corner, sure, but the whole vibe is calmer, more about taking your time than racing anyone.
The event runs from 3:00 PM on 4 January until late morning on 6 January, so you get roughly two days to chip away at it. You play the normal board, pick up Pickaxes as you go, then jump into a dig-style mini game where you tap tiles on a grid to uncover hidden items. On paper it sounds simple, but once you start cracking tiles you realise it has that "one more move" feel. You can jump in for a couple of minutes, clear a few tiles while you are waiting for something, and log off without feeling like you are falling behind the pack.
Here is where a lot of players mess up. You get a pile of Pickaxes and just start smashing whatever tile your thumb lands on. It feels fun for about thirty seconds, then you hit the higher levels and suddenly you are out of tools. Because Pickaxes are limited, every tap matters. The grid almost plays like Battleship, where you are trying to track patterns, remember hot spots, and work outward once you find a hit. If you slow down and actually look at the board, you burn through way fewer Pickaxes and you are not stuck halfway through a level wondering where it all went.
There is also a sneaky extra reason to be careful. Any Pickaxes you do not use usually turn into dice rolls after the event wraps up, so playing smart means you get rewarded twice. You clear levels, pick up the normal rewards, and then whatever is left in your Pickaxe stash turns into more dice for future events. Roll Treasures has 15 levels this time around, starting with easy, small grids and moving into larger boards with tiny objects buried in annoying spots. If you manage to clear everything, you are looking at around 3,200 dice rolls on top of sticker packs, cash and a Lucky Chance bonus, but even if you stop somewhere in the middle you still walk away with useful prizes.
The best thing is what is missing. No leaderboard, no whales flying past you while you sleep, no fake competition with bots. It is just you, the grid, and however many Pickaxes you feel like using that session, which makes the whole thing feel way more relaxed than chasing down a Monopoly Go Partners Event for sale or sweating over your rank. When 4 January rolls around, it is worth logging in, taking a breath, and treating Roll Treasures as a low-pressure side game rather than another job.
How Roll Treasures Actually Works
The event runs from 3:00 PM on 4 January until late morning on 6 January, so you get roughly two days to chip away at it. You play the normal board, pick up Pickaxes as you go, then jump into a dig-style mini game where you tap tiles on a grid to uncover hidden items. On paper it sounds simple, but once you start cracking tiles you realise it has that "one more move" feel. You can jump in for a couple of minutes, clear a few tiles while you are waiting for something, and log off without feeling like you are falling behind the pack.
Why Random Tapping Is A Trap
Here is where a lot of players mess up. You get a pile of Pickaxes and just start smashing whatever tile your thumb lands on. It feels fun for about thirty seconds, then you hit the higher levels and suddenly you are out of tools. Because Pickaxes are limited, every tap matters. The grid almost plays like Battleship, where you are trying to track patterns, remember hot spots, and work outward once you find a hit. If you slow down and actually look at the board, you burn through way fewer Pickaxes and you are not stuck halfway through a level wondering where it all went.
Rewards, Leftover Pickaxes And The 15-Level Path
There is also a sneaky extra reason to be careful. Any Pickaxes you do not use usually turn into dice rolls after the event wraps up, so playing smart means you get rewarded twice. You clear levels, pick up the normal rewards, and then whatever is left in your Pickaxe stash turns into more dice for future events. Roll Treasures has 15 levels this time around, starting with easy, small grids and moving into larger boards with tiny objects buried in annoying spots. If you manage to clear everything, you are looking at around 3,200 dice rolls on top of sticker packs, cash and a Lucky Chance bonus, but even if you stop somewhere in the middle you still walk away with useful prizes.
A Rare Break From Leaderboards
