U4GM How to Clear Monopoly go Dig Boards Efficiently

Barnyard Treasures arrives in Monopoly GO on August 3, 2026, and runs until 12:59 PM EDT on August 7. It's a four-day Pickaxe push, so having spare Monopoly Go Stickers in mind can make the pack rewards feel even more useful when an album set is nearly done.

What the boards ask of you

There are 20 farm-themed dig boards, and each one has hidden treasure pieces in different shapes. Tap a covered square, spend one Pickaxe, then use what you've uncovered to narrow the next choice. Early boards are pretty forgiving. Later ones aren't. Bigger grids, awkward shapes, tougher tiles. You'll feel the Pickaxe count disappear fast if you start tapping at random.

Exploding critters are the real swing tiles. Hit one beside unopened squares and it can reveal a whole useful patch, not just one lonely space.

Two habits that save tools

1. Start near edges when a large treasure still has limited placements.

2. Let empty squares rule out rows before spending another Pickaxe.

Rewards worth watching

The event doesn't just save its good stuff for the last board. Level 1 gives 50 rolls, while Level 4 includes 100 rolls and three 2-star packs. Level 8 adds 100 rolls with three 3-star packs, and Level 12 raises that to 600 rolls plus four 4-star packs. That's a decent stretch of album progress before the late-game boards start asking for serious resources.

Here's the short version of the milestones most players will care about. It also shows why reaching the last few levels is such a big deal.

Level Board detail Completion reward
1 4x4 with one 1x2 treasure 50 rolls
12 7x7 challenge board 600 rolls and four 4-star packs
18 Large 3x3 treasure Rooster Watch Shield
20 7x7 final board with six treasures 2000 rolls and six 5-star packs

Level 18 is the one collectors will notice because of the Rooster Watch Shield. Level 20 is the payoff, though. Cash, 2,000 rolls, and six 5-star packs.

Keep the pace steady

1. Collect Pickaxes from Quick Wins, tournaments, gifts, and daily play.

2. Save explosions for crowded areas or stubborn tiles.

Make the last boards less painful

Don't chase the stated minimum Pickaxe totals too hard. Those figures assume almost perfect choices, and real runs rarely look that clean. Check in whenever free gifts refresh, keep playing the side events, and avoid blowing every tool on an early board just because you want a quick reward. If the event packs leave one or two album gaps, some players look to Monopoly Go buy Stickers for targeted cards, then use their remaining rolls to keep the board moving.

Barnyard Treasures is a good excuse to stock up on Pickaxes, chase the Rooster Watch Shield, and enjoy the grind with fellow Monopoly GO fans.
