The Cash Treasure May Dig Event in Monopoly GO feels a bit different from the usual roll-and-collect routine, and that's why players tend to jump on it fast, especially when they're also keeping an eye on the Monopoly Go Partners Event for extra ways to build progress. Instead of just waiting for a lucky dice streak, you're dropped into a dirt-covered grid and asked to think. Each tap matters. Every tile you break costs a pickaxe, so the event quickly turns into a small puzzle rather than a mindless tapping session.

How the digging board works

Each level gives you a buried set of items to find. You'll see the shapes at the top of the screen before you start digging, which is more useful than it first looks. Some pieces are tiny, like single-tile coins or scrolls. Others stretch across several spaces, such as snake statues, lizard figures, or other awkwardly shaped relics. The trick is to read those shapes before spending pickaxes. If a large statue is still missing, it usually makes sense to open up wider empty areas first. Once the bigger pieces are found, the smaller ones become much easier to guess.

Why pickaxes are the real currency

You'll notice pretty quickly that pickaxes disappear faster than expected. A player can start with what feels like a comfortable stack, then burn through half of it on a stubborn board. That's where the event gets tense. Random digging is the easiest way to lose. A better habit is to check the remaining item list, look at the open spaces, and avoid corners unless a shape could actually fit there. It's not chess, but it does reward calm thinking. Many players make the mistake of chasing one last hidden item by tapping all over the place. That's usually when the pickaxe count takes a nasty hit.

Levels get tighter as you move up

The event runs through 12 levels, and the early ones are there to ease you in. The first few boards don't ask too much. You dig, you find the targets, and you move on. Later boards are less forgiving. The grid can feel cramped, the shapes are less obvious, and one bad run of guesses can slow the whole thing down. Milestone rewards help keep the pace going, with dice, cash, and vault-style prizes appearing along the progress bar. Those rewards aren't just nice extras either. More dice can lead to more event currency, and more currency means more chances to keep digging.

Playing smart while the timer runs

Because the Cash Treasure event only lasts for a limited window, it's worth planning your sessions instead of rushing through everything at once. Check tournaments, quick wins, and board milestones for more pickaxes before you start clearing harder grids. If you're also trying to buy Monopoly Go Partner Event progress or manage another timed activity, don't let the dig board drain your resources without a plan. Take a moment, study the shapes, and dig where the board gives you the best odds. That's how the event stays fun instead of turning into a pickaxe sink.
