There are days when Monopoly GO! stops feeling like a quick mobile game and starts feeling like you are clocking in for a shift, so the return of Roll Treasures on 4 January 2026 lands at a pretty good time for most players who are tired of chasing leaderboards and grinding through tournaments, especially if you would rather save your energy for something like the Monopoly Go Partners Event instead.

Why Roll Treasures Feels Different

The event runs from 3:00 PM on 4 January until just before midday on 6 January, which means you get roughly two days where you can set your own pace instead of racing the timer or worrying about other players' scores, and the format itself helps with that because you are not looping around the board, you are playing a dig-style mini game where you earn Pickaxes from normal play and then use them to break tiles on a grid to uncover hidden prizes, a bit like a stripped-down puzzle game you can dip in and out of without feeling you have to sit there for hours.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Pickaxes

Once you are in the grid, it is really tempting to tap everywhere just to see what pops, but you will burn through Pickaxes fast if you do that and you will feel it later on when the boards get larger, so it is worth slowing down, looking for patterns, and treating it more like Battleship where you try to guess where the key tiles are with as few moves as you can, because every Pickaxe matters and any you do not use by the time you are done usually turn into extra dice, which means smart play lets you double dip on value, first from the event rewards and then from that conversion at the end.

Level Spread And Rewards

This version of Roll Treasures has 15 levels in total, and you will notice the early ones are almost relaxing with smaller boards and obvious hiding spots that let you get a feel for the flow, but things ramp up as you move forward, with bigger grids and more awkward little items that can sit in corners or weird gaps, and if you manage to clear the whole set you are looking at something around 3,200 dice in rewards plus cash, sticker packs and a Lucky Chance bonus, though you do not need a perfect run to feel good about it because each level pays out on its own so even players who hit a wall still walk away with something useful.

A Break From The Competitive Grind

The nicest thing here is what is missing: there are no leaderboards, no pressure to stay online so someone does not leapfrog you overnight, no feeling that you are losing out to whoever is throwing the most money or time at the game, and that makes Roll Treasures feel more like a solo puzzle break where you can log in for ten minutes, clear a few tiles, then put the phone down without guilt, which is great if you want to recharge before diving back into more intense modes or planning your next push during a Monopoly Go Partners Event buy session.
