The festive season on Monopoly Go continues through the New Year with another dig event. New Year's Treasures has been running since 8 AM ET on December 31st and is now down to the final few hours before it ends at 3 PM ET today, January 4th. Collect some final pickaxes and dig to see how many more rewards you can uncover before the end.

There are 20 levels of treasures to uncover over the event including over 5,000 dice to be won as well as various sticker packs, including one swap pack and a new board token and shield skin.

New Year's Treasures Dig Event Guide

As with other dig events in Monopoly Go you can make progress by collecting pickaxes through other events in the game while New Year's Treasures is active. Then use these to search for the rewards through the levels of the dig event.

Our guide to this event tells you how to play New Year's Treasures, shows you a rewards and milestones list so you can see exactly what you can win at each level and tells you all the ways you can get more pickaxes to use to find those rewards.

How to Play New Year's Treasures

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

The current events that you can earn pickaxes from are the Friendship Pays solo banner event and the Firework Frenzy that runs until 1 PM ET today and is followed by Stealthy Soar

In each level of New Year's Treasures there are hidden a number of items, above the game board you can see 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.

Along the way as you dig you may find other gifts such as 5 dice or one or two pickaxes, or even a mole that will clear some of the blocks for you.

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 for New Year's Treasures

There are five ways to get more pickaxes to use this event, here's all of them.

• Quick Wins

  Completing the daily Quick Wins is an easy way to get more free pickaxes. You won't get very many for each one, but they certainly add up to a decent amount if you complete all three for every day of the event.


Quick Wins for Free Pickaxes
• Free Shop Gift

  Every eight hours you can claim a free gift from the shop. Tap the shop icon, and then slide the top panel to th left until you reach the end. While New Year's Treasures is active, there is a chance to get free pickaxes from this gift.

• Solo Milestone Events

  The solo milestone events are the ones whose banner is featured above the game board in the center, and they often hold the most free pickaxes, so do head over to our daily events schedule, to check what the current solo milestone event is to discover how many free pickaxes you can get and which milestones you need to reach to get them.

• Tournaments

  Tournaments usually change every day, or every two days, and are featured on the right of the game board. Like the solo milestone events, you can find out about the current tournament and what you can win by heading to our daily events schedule, to check out the current tournament to discover how many free pickaxes you can get and which milestones you need to reach to get them.

• In the Actual Event

  A couple of the levels in New Year's Treasures also give free pickaxes as level completion rewards, you can also find them within some of the treasure maps.

New Year's Treasures Rewards and Milestones

Here is a listing of everything that you can win in this event and how big each of the boards are.

How Many Pickaxes do I need to complete New Year's Treasures?

While the actual number will depend on luck and skill in choosing your digging tiles, the usual number of pickaxes needed for an event like this is roughly 400. Now every dig event is different, and we'll only be able to give a more accurate number after playing this event or getting some feedback from our Monopoly Go forum members.

There will be at least two solo banner events for the duration of New Year's Treasures, and most probably three tournaments. Each of these will let you win pickaxes to help you make progress through this dig event, so do check the milestone lists for this events by heading to our daily events schedule to find out exactly where all the pickaxes are and how many points you'll need in each of the events to get the number you need.

My Strategy for this Event

Dig events last for four to five days each time which means that you can spread your progress across multiple days and multiple parallel events. It is often a good idea though to make good progress at the start of the event to make sure you are not chasing hard to reach pickaxes at the end.

I will be checking each of the solo and tournament events as they come up to make sure I can get the best number of pickaxes from each one. The solo banner events especially can offer high numbers of pickaxe rewards if you are able to reach high enough milestones.

When the event starts we may have more specific advice to give for the events running at the time so keep any eye out for updates or check our Monopoly Go Forums for helpful chat and game news.

Party Time Shield and Top hat board token

There are two of the special rewards that you can win in the event. The shield skin you can grab by completing level 10 and the board token by completing level 17.

You can also win on of the new Swap pack to increase your chances of getting new needed stickers by completing the whole event.

That wraps up our guide to New Year's Treasures. Try not to miss any Quick Wins or free shop gifts, as although you don't get many pickaxes for each one, they do add up to quite a lot if you get them all.
