Among these rewards are not only thousands of free dice rolls, but a new purple gemstone shield skinanda cute little pinkish gemstone axolotl as well. With the continued support of the moles that excavate swaths of the Crystal Treasures board, you’re sure to find some gems!
How To Play Crystal Treasures
The dig events in Monopoly Go are definitely a fan favorite, and for a reason - you’ve got plenty of chances to find prizes buried beneath the earth, even outside the20 total milestonesof the event itself, since there are a good number of free pickaxes and dice rolls littered around as well.
You can collect more pickaxes for Crystal Treasures in a variety of ways, like:
Overall, your goal is tofind and dig up the items shown in the box at the top of the screenduring the Crystal Treasures event. Sofia shows you theoutline of the object, and then it’s up to you to get to digging and actually find them within each grid. It takes at least one pickaxe to excavate one tile of earth, buttiles with rocks take more hits to clear, so be mindful when you’re clicking around trying to find the item you’re looking for.
We once again see the return of themoles that excavate tiles around them automaticallywhen you uncover them as you dig! These little guys will clear all the tiles in a pattern around where you found them - either all the tiles vertically, all the tiles horizontally, or the eight tiles in a circle around itself - so the more of them you unearth, the better.
Since you’re able to only clear one tile at a time with the Crystal Treasures pickaxes, you’ll almost always uncover a piece of the item and be able to tell which direction it’s facing from there. Pieces of treasure in the Crystal Treasures event come in varying sizes, with each of the 20 levels requesting a different subset of items in varying sizes. Uncover one piece at a time andclear tiles youknowhave treasure beneath themfirst to prevent wasting pickaxes on tiles without anything beneath them.
Each of the 20 milestones comes with a reward, but some of the best ones in the event are theCrystal Crest shield skinwith anamethyst-looking Monopoly M emblazoned within it, as well as theTwinkle Tail token, a cute little axolotl you may use as tokens as youspin around your Monopoly Go boards. These are available afterboards ten and 17, respectively.
Along the way, you’ll also receive thousands of free dice rolls and bonussticker packs in varying colors. We just kicked off theMarvel Go sticker albumseason last week, so this event provides a great chance to get ahead there. You may also receive a couple of free Crystal Treasures pickaxes, too, to replenish the ones you lost clearing your board. Any milestone with multiple rewards has a vault on the progress bar, but each vault contains a number of sweet Crystal Treasures rewards.
