Treasure Dig Events in Monopoly GO reward careful tile selection more than random digging. The checkerboard method is one of the easiest ways to cover a board while keeping Pickaxe use under control. This approach also fits well with the Monopoly Go Partners Event because both events reward players who plan their resources before making every move. Start by tapping alternating squares instead of clearing rows from one side to the other. This gives enough information to locate larger buried items while leaving more Pickaxes for the later parts of the board.

Find Large Shapes First

Large treasures should be the first target when their possible location can be narrowed down. A 3x3 or 4x4 item covers many spaces, so finding one section can reveal the rest of its position. Corners and edges are useful places to check because large shapes have fewer possible positions there. Once part of a large item appears, stop the wider checkerboard search and work around the revealed section. Digging the nearby tiles can uncover the full shape with fewer guesses.

Lock Onto A Found Item

Once a Pickaxe reveals part of a treasure, the search area should become smaller. Dig the tiles next to the revealed piece instead of returning to random areas of the board. This zone locking method helps finish one item before moving to another. It also makes the remaining empty spaces easier to read. If a small item is left after the larger treasures have been found, the open spaces can provide enough information to work out where it must be.

Use Side Events For Pickaxes

Pickaxes should be collected through the events running alongside the dig board rather than earned by simply rolling without a plan. Banner events and daily tournaments are two of the main sources. Recent player strategies often focus on reaching useful Pickaxe milestones without pushing much further once the reward value starts to fall. For example, some current Dig Event strategies recommend specific tournament levels rather than completing every available milestone.

Time Your Quick Wins

Quick Wins can provide a useful number of Pickaxes during a Dig Event, so their timing matters. If the event has not started yet, saving available daily tasks can give the event an early resource boost once it goes live. The same principle applies to free gifts and other timed rewards. Collecting these resources throughout the event keeps the Pickaxe supply moving without requiring extra dice spending.

Keep Leftovers Useful

The final part of resource planning comes after the last board is completed. Unused Pickaxes do not simply disappear. Current Treasure Hunt information shows that leftover Pickaxes can be converted into extra dice after the event ends, with the exact conversion depending on the event version. This gives players another reason to avoid random digging. Efficient play can finish the boards while also leaving a useful reserve. That reserve can also support future activities and make buy cheap Monopoly Go Partners Event choices fit more naturally into an overall Monopoly GO resource plan.
