How to Play Dino Treasures on Monopoly Go

Dino Treasures could be a digging event coming soon on Monopoly Go. While I did expect to see this start on July 4th 2024, it looks like we'll now be seeing Sunset Treasures return instead. You can find this in your game app from 9 AM ET on July 4th until 4 PM ET on July 8th.

While information about this possible forthcoming event is a little thin on the ground, we can expect that it will be similar to previous treasure digging events usch as Martian Treasures or Sunken Treasures, where you have to play through a series of levels to uncover hidden treasures and win rewards.

There is typically a great dice to rewards ratio in dig events, and one that I'll definitely be playing. As for the grand prize at the end of the event, at this stage of the season I'm only expecting to see a purple sticker pack and not a wild sticker, but who knows, I may be surprised. Usually in dig events there are a board token and a shield skin to win too, and I expect we'll see a prehistoric themed board token and shield skin as rewards in this event too.

Please check back on this page soon, as we will update it with a complete Dino Treasures rewards list as soon as we know it.

For a recap on digging events, we've left our own strategy for playing this type of event below so you can have a read up on some tips to get you prepared for this forthcoming event.

How to play Dino Treasures

Collect pickaxes from banner events, tournaments, quick wins and shop gifts and then use those pickaxes to uncover the treasure on each level.

To find out more about the banner events and tournaments that will have pickaxe rewards, head to our all events explained guide where you can find links to current and forthcoming events on Monopoly Go to check out their milestone rewards lists.

In each level of Dino Treasures there are a number of hidden treasures. When you have opened this mini-game, above tiles, you can see images of the objects that need to be found, each object occupies a certain number of tiles on the game board and can be orientated either horizontally or vertically. You'll need to spend your pickaxes wisely in order to make good guesses based on what needs to be found.

Unless you are looking for items that are 1x1 it's best to spread out your guesses based on the sizes of items you need to find and what tiles are still left to be uncovered. One method I usually use during these events is to start at one corner and then proceed diagonally towards the center. But it really depends on the objects that you need to find, as there may be better techniques.

How to get more pickaxes

Guessing logically and getting as many pickaxes as you can is the key to completing this dig event. Here are all the ways to get more pickaxes in Dino Treasures.

• Quick Wins - Complete these easy task for more pickaxes while a dig event is active. New Quick Wins are available every day at (6AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM BST). If you want more info on Quick Wins, head to our Quick Wins guide page.
• Shop Gift - Claim the free gift in the shop every eight hours and get some extra pickaxes when you make a claim while a dig event is active. To find this gift, click on the shop icon and swipe the top block to the right until you get to the final block. There you should find your free shop gift or a timer telling you when the next one is ready to collect.
• Banner Events - The bulk of the available pickaxes will be available in the main solo events, check out the daily schedule to see whats on and how many pickaxes you can get.
• Tournaments - Another good source of pickaxes are the tournaments, again check out the daily schedule to see whats on and how many pickaxes you can get.
• By Missing Digs - The game also gives some rewards if you miss some digging spots, this could be more pickaxes or dice. You don't get many this way, but it all adds up.

How many pickaxes will I need to complete Dino Treasures?

It's too early to tell as we don't have the rewards list yet, now the rewards lists for the accompanying banner and tournament yet, once we have it we'll be able to give you a good idea. But typically you need more or less 400 pickaxes to complete a dig event.

What happens to unused pickaxes at the end of the event?

When you complete the event, you won't be able to collect any more pickaxes, and any that you have left over will be converted to dice on a 1:3 basis, three dice get exchanged for every one pickaxe leftover. So if you want to be a bit tricky, you can put off finding the final treasure until you have collected loads more pickaxes and then find the last treasure a little before the event ends. But don't forget to find it, otherwise you will miss out on the big prize!
