Monopoly Go June 17-21 Mr. Burns' Treasures Complete Guide | Event Mechanics, Digging Strategies & All Ways to Get Pickaxes
Category: Monopoly Go Posted: Jun 17, 2026 Views: 17
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.
