Monopoly GO: How to get free Dino Treasures pickaxes

It's all about events and tournaments.

Dino Treasures is a four-day event in Monopoly GO that lets you dig through a prehistoric artifact site, uncover hidden treasures, and obtain valuable prizes. As you advance through each level, the rewards get increasingly valuable, with the grand prize featuring a Wild Sticker and 3,000 dice. However, you’ll need to get your hands on hundreds of pickaxes before you can start digging through each level.

How to get more Dino Treasures pickaxes in Monopoly GO

Fortunately, Monopoly GO offers several ways to get Dino Treasures pickaxes for free. The best way to get more pickaxes is by participating in other events and tournaments, which give away hundreds of pickaxes. You can also open free shop gifts and complete your daily Quick Win objectives to gain more.

In other words, you can get through several of the first few levels without rolling a single die if you log on each day to claim your rewards. Nonetheless, taking advantage of event rewards is the key to completing Dino Treasures, especially if you want multiple sticker pack prizes and a Wild Sticker.

Events and tournaments

The best way to get Dino Treasures pickaxes is by scoring points in ongoing banner events and tournaments. In particular, events like Jurassic Journey are a great early source of pickaxes, as you can get over 200 in two days. If you’re lucky, this is enough to get you through the first half of Dino Treasures, with future events getting you through the rest.

Despite how great these rewards are, there is a catch to it. Scoring points requires rolling your dice and landing on certain spaces. In the case of Jurassic Journey, you have to land on pickup tiles to progress through your reward milestones. This can be challenging if you don’t have many dice to work with, so watch your dice supply and make the most out of what you have.

Daily Quick Wins

The next best way to get Dino Treasures pickaxes for free is to complete your daily Quick Wins tasks. Each objective gives between three to five pickaxes, allowing you to get over 40 by the time Dino Treasures ends. You’ll also get bonus rewards like 100 dice, cash, and a five-star sticker pack, making it worthwhile to complete just for these alone.

Free store gifts

The last way to get free pickaxes is to redeem gifts in the premium shop. Although most of the store’s items cost real money, you can claim a free gift package once every eight hours. Each box gives you two to three pickaxes, which, despite not sounding like much, can be the difference between completing a level and having one or two squares left after spending dozens on one grid.

Although Scopely usually doesn’t release pickaxe links for Treasures events, that ends this time, as there is one available until the event’s end. Below is the free pickaxe link:

By selecting the link and opening Monopoly GO, you’ll automatically enter the game and find a pop-up to claim the reward. If it doesn’t appear right away, restart the app and try again. We’ll continue to update this section with more details if Scopely releases additional pickaxe links.
