Events and Tournaments: What to Expect

Back to Monopoly GO hub

Events and tournaments add short-term objectives to Monopoly GO. They provide extra rewards but can also consume large amounts of dice if you attempt every activity. This guide explains common event formats, how to decide which ones to join, and how to participate without exhausting your resources.

Common Event Formats

Events typically fall into categories such as milestone events, daily challenges, and leaderboard tournaments. Milestone events reward you for reaching specific point thresholds. Daily challenges provide smaller goals with quick rewards. Tournaments rank players based on points earned over a limited time.

Each format encourages different behaviors. Milestones reward steady play, while tournaments often favor higher roll spending during short windows.

Check the Event Objective Before Rolling

Every event specifies which actions award points, such as landing on railroads or collecting specific tokens. Before spending dice, read the event objective so your rolls contribute directly to the event. If the objective does not match your current board position, it may be better to wait or use a lower multiplier.

Aligning rolls with the event goal helps you earn rewards without wasting dice on unrelated movement.

Set a Limit for Event Spending

It is easy to spend more dice than intended during events. A practical tactic is to set a cap, such as a fixed number of rolls or a goal to reach a specific milestone. Once you reach that limit, pause and save the rest for future events.

This keeps your progress steady across multiple events rather than exhausting your rolls in a single tournament.

Consider the Value of Rewards

Not all event rewards are equally useful. Some provide dice, cash, or sticker packs that directly support long-term progress. If an event offers rewards that align with your current needs, it may be worth investing more rolls. If the rewards are less relevant, it is reasonable to participate lightly or skip it.

Evaluating rewards before committing helps you use your resources more effectively.

Use Events to Complement Regular Goals

The best time to engage with events is when they overlap with your current goals, such as upgrading landmarks or collecting stickers. If an event rewards movement that you would already be doing, it becomes a bonus rather than a distraction.

If an event requires actions that do not support your current focus, consider completing only the early milestones and then returning to normal play.

Pace Tournament Participation

Tournaments can encourage heavy spending, but you do not need to aim for the top every time. A steady approach is to target achievable reward tiers based on your dice supply. If you start a tournament late, set realistic expectations and aim for a smaller milestone rather than trying to catch up quickly.

Keeping a reserve of dice for the next event cycle often leads to more consistent progress than using everything in a single tournament.

Summary: Events Are Optional, Not Mandatory

Events and tournaments are designed to provide extra rewards, but they are not required for steady progress. Choose events that match your goals, set spending limits, and focus on the rewards that matter to you. This approach keeps events helpful without exhausting your dice supply.
