Monopoly Go Top Up

As a major crossover event, the collaboration between Monopoly Go and The Simpsons brings not only a new album but also changes woven into the details of daily gameplay. Failing to familiarize yourself with these changes beforehand could lead to setbacks during actual play!

For instance, as you move across the new Simpsons-themed board, landing on special tiles triggers mini-games or unique mechanics. These have now been updated to reflect the crossover theme, and the way you participate in them may have changed as well.

Here, we list all the board tiles affected during The Simpsons crossover and explain their effects, ensuring your board adventures go smoothly!

Free Parking tile

Normally, this is an ordinary tile where nothing happens whether you pass over or land on it. However, during a standard Free Parking flash event, landing on specific special tiles accumulates rewards in a prize pool.

This pool might contain cash or dice, depending on the specific version of the flash event. You would then collect the accumulated prizes by landing on the Free Parking tile itself.

However, while The Simpsons album collection is active, landing on Free Parking tile triggers the new The Simpsons Run mini-game instead.

This introduces a separate, smaller board acting as a race track filled with obstacles. You must roll the dice to advance while dodging these hazards; once you reach the finish line, your rewards are calculated, and you are transported back to the main board to continue your journey.

Compared to the standard Free Parking flash event, The Simpsons Run is significantly more entertaining. It also offers greater flexibility regarding timing: you don't have to wait for a specific event window, you can experience it simply by landing on the tile.

Go to Jail tile

This tile is located in the corner of the board. In standard gameplay, landing here restricts your movement; you must roll doubles within three attempts to break out, or else you are forced to consume cash.

Now, The Simpsons crossover has added new depth to this tile's mechanics. While you still end up in jail, the classic Simpsons character Chief Clancy Wiggum appears to trigger a new mini-game called Bribe Wiggum.

Chief Clancy Wiggum is characterized in the show as greedy, lazy, and unfair in his law enforcement; this persona carries over into Monopoly Go.

Specifically, Bribe Wiggum feature allows you to roll a special die featuring only three symbols: cash, keys, and handcuffs. Rolling a key signifies a successful bribe and grants you an extra reward.

The cash symbol acts as a multiplier for the reward earned after rolling a key, while the handcuffs indicate a total failure, requiring you to pay bail to proceed.

Railroad tiles

Landing on these tiles triggers either Shutdown or Mega Heist mini-game. The Simpsons crossover event doesn't alter the mechanics of these games but introduces Simpsons-themed backgrounds and animations.

These mini-games generally contribute to your tournament progress. Such events run daily (occasionally longer); you earn points by moving across the board and playing these mini-games to unlock tournament milestone rewards.

In Shutdown, you visit other players' boards to destroy as many of their landmarks as possible. Mega Heist plays like a slot machine, where the symbols you spin determine the tournament points you receive.

Notably, your tournament performance and progress affect your Springfield Monorail Express level; ranking high in tournaments is essential to earning the coins needed to upgrade your Express Rank.

Chance tiles

Multiple Chance tiles are scattered across your Monopoly Go board. Landing on one allows you to draw a Chance card, which could yield a surprise reward or a special penalty, the outcome is always random.

During The Simpsons album, all Chance cards are updated with Simpsons themes to enhance the crossover atmosphere. Furthermore, the designs for five of these cards were selected through a community vote held previously.

It is also worth noting that landing on Chance tiles is one way to earn points for certain banner events, typically yielding around 2-3 points per landing.

Like tournaments, these events are part of the daily rotation and usually last for 2-3 days. Although it lasts longer, its overall value is actually slightly lower than that of the tournaments.

Additionally, the ongoing Mr. Burns' Treasures event in Monopoly Go requires pickaxe tokens to complete, tokens that can be earned in both banner events and tournaments! This event runs until June 21.

Extra tips

The tile changes and new gameplay mechanics mentioned above are expected to end when The Simpsons album concludes on July 29, so be sure to make the most of every opportunity to experience them!

While other tiles remain unchanged, The Simpsons crossover event features a themed game board that adds a fun twist to standard tiles.

Once The Simpsons album ends, the new album, even if it isn't a crossover, might still introduce new mechanics involving tiles, so be prepared to adjust your gameplay mindset and strategy accordingly!

That covers everything for now. Beyond the in-game changes, this crossover also includes a limited-time event on Discord. Don't forget to join in!

Monopoly Go's latest Treasure Hunt event runs from 4:00 PM on June 17, 2026 to 12:59 AM on June 21, 2026 (ET). Due to the current collaboration with The Simpsons, this event is themed around Mr. Burns' Treasures. This is a limited-time mini-treasure hunt where players need to use appropriate strategies to obtain all the treasures with the fewest possible pickaxes. Let's take a look at the details.

How it works?

First, let's look at the mechanics of this mini-game. At the start of the event, you'll see a grid map. Each grid represents a level, and you'll need to use pickaxes - a special item - to click on the grids to dig.

Treasures are randomly distributed within these grids. The treasures vary in shape, such as 2x2 or 1x4, meaning you don't need to clear the entire map. You'll need to use your wits to deduce where to use your next pickaxes based on the excavated tiles and the shape of the treasure.

However, don't expect to know your treasure's location just because others have cleared the level. The treasure's location is randomly generated each time, and relying on others' routes will only waste your pickaxes. However, you can refer to other players' digging strategies.

Mr. Burns' Treasures has 20 levels. Players need to dig up all the treasures in the previous level to unlock the next. Each level completion rewards you with Monopoly Go stickers, dice, cash, and a Mr. Burns shield skin. The further you progress, the larger the map and the richer the rewards.

At the end of each minigame, the studio will tell you the minimum pickaxes required for each level. Let's see how to reduce pickaxe usage.

Key Strategies

First, don't use pickaxes as soon as you get them. Accumulate at least 30-50 before digging for treasure. This allows you to clear the board more efficiently without hesitation. More importantly, if you run out of pickaxes halfway through digging, you'll have to exit the level, accumulate more pickaxes through other means, and then return. Fortunately, your level progress is saved, but your digging strategy will undoubtedly be interrupted.

Next, regarding choosing which squares to dig, we usually start from the center or the perimeter. This starting point covers more area, helping you quickly determine the general direction of the treasure. In large maps like 7x7, in addition to the center and four corners, you can also dig once at the midpoint of each of the four sides, creating a net that leaves the treasure nowhere to hide.

Then, if you've already dug out a corner of the treasure, you can use the size and shape of the treasure shown at the top of the screen to deduce its location. For example, if the treasure is in a 2x3 grid, you absolutely cannot dig outside of a 3x3 grid that already contains the treasure.

Finally, in later levels, some grids are made of rock, which you can't break with a single pickaxe. So, unless you're absolutely certain there's treasure below, try to avoid them. Your guessing shouldn't come at the cost of consuming a lot of pickaxes, which will also disrupt your rhythm.

How to get more pickaxes?

As we know from the above, pickaxes are the core resource of this mini-game. They cannot be obtained directly; they can only be earned as rewards by completing tasks.

First, complete the daily Quick Wins, which consist of small tasks that only take a few minutes to complete. Although the pickaxes given are small, they accumulate to a considerable amount each day throughout the event.

Second, Monopoly Go gives all players a free shop gift every eight hours, which may include pickaxes. While not guaranteed, it's free and the refresh cycle isn't long, making it the easiest way to accumulate pickaxes by collecting them regularly.

Pickaxes can also be obtained through top banner events. Players need to walk on specific tiles to collect points and unlock milestones, which include pickaxes as rewards. Similarly, there are tournaments where players collect special tokens through various means and receive rewards based on milestones and final leaderboard positions, including pickaxes.

The digging event itself also rewards pickaxes. The higher the level, the more dice you get, and the more pickaxes you accumulate. Monopoly Go ensures players have pickaxes available at higher levels.

Finally, you can join the Tycoon Club and participate in Daily Wheel for a chance to earn pickaxes for free.

Rewards Preview

The rewards for Treasure Hunt are very generous. The main rewards players can obtain are dice (up to 4750, with 2000 obtained in the final level), cash, sticker packs, and a Mr. Burns-themed shield skin (obtained by completing level 18). Details are as follows:

If you're lucky enough to complete all levels without using up all your pickaxes, Monopoly Go won't let your early efforts go to waste; after the event ends, each pickaxe can be converted into 3 dice.

Having understood the mechanics of Mr. Burns' Treasures, learned the key strategies for digging, and all the sources of pickaxes, you're sure to perfectly complete these 20 levels. Tycoons, start digging for treasure!
