Monopoly GO’s Fantastic Four collaboration continues with the launch of theFantastic Treasuresminigame. In this limited-time event, players will have to dig through mysterious grids to find the treasures hiding beneath. It follows the classic mechanics ofMonopoly GO’s digging events, but the Fantastic Treasures minigame adds a superhero twist.
With exclusive rewards, like theMr. Fantastic token, featuring the brilliant and stretchy superhero himself, this event is one you wouldn’t want to miss out on. This guide breaks down the best strategies to help you conserve Flare Gun tokens and complete more levels in the Fantastic Treasures minigame.
Save Enough Dice For the Fantastic Treasures Events
One of the smartest moves you’re able to make inMonopoly GOis saving up your dice rolls in advance, especially before a major event like Fantastic Treasures. If you enter a dig event with low dice, your ability to earn Flare Guns becomes limited, which can block your progress halfway through the boards.
That’s why the top players usuallystart each digging event with a stockpile of at least 2,000 to 4,000 dice rolls. This gives them the freedom to push through milestone events, collect more Flare Gun tokens, and keep progressing smoothly.

Focus On the Large Treasure Pieces First
The biggest treasure pieces (those that span several tiles) are the easiest to find but require the most Flare Guns to uncover completely. That’s why it’s smart to focus on findingjust one tileof a large piece early on.
Once you’ve found a part of a large treasure, don’t keep digging it up right away. Instead,move on to locating the next treasure. This is an amazing strategy because the critters and moles, which you sometimes uncover, will automatically clear a section of the board. A well-placed mole can reveal a whole treasure piece you’ve already found but not yet fully dug out, saving your precious Flare Gun tokens.
If you’ve already found a part of an object, you can use the shape of that piece (shown in the top bar) to simply dig out the remaining parts. This way, you can save your Flare Gun tokens and avoid digging carelessly.
Think Fresh on Each Board
Every digging board in the Fantastic Treasures event is randomly created for each player, so treasure locations, tile positions, and mole positions are all random.There is no one pattern, cheat sheet, or map that guarantees where treasures will be hidden.This means what worked for someone else won’t work for you.
That’s why asking friends or online communities for the right digging spots isn’t useful for this minigame. Relying on someone else’s path can waste your Flare Guns and lead to frustration. Instead, take each board like a brand-new puzzle.Pay attention to the treasure shapes, observe where you’ve already dug, and use logic to narrow down likely locations. Even though mostminigames inMonopoly GOare a game of luck, the right strategy goes a long way in treasure hunts.
Avoid Multi-Hit Tiles Unless Necessary
As you hit higher levels in the Fantastic Treasures event, you’ll notice that not all tiles are the same. Some tiles, usually marked by rocks, rubble, or a tougher appearance, require two or more Flare Gun tokens to fully break. Unless you’re absolutely sure there’s a treasure piece underneath, it’s best toavoid these tiles.Wasting tokens on these tiles based on a guess can quickly drain your supply and slow down your progress.
Focus on clearing single-hit tiles first, especially at the beginning of the level when you’re still finding treasures. If you’re down to just a few possible spots and the remaining treasure is a 1x1 piece, try your best to first break away possible tiles rather than randomly hitting these harder blocks out of desperation.
If you’re not sure if a multi-hit block is hiding a treasure, it’s a good idea to dig through the surrounding single-hit tiles first. Sometimes, revealing just one adjacent tile can give you enough information to rule out or confirm whether it’s worth spending extra Flare Guns on the tougher block.
Play Main and Side Events Strategically
The Fantastic Treasures event runs alongsideMonopoly GO’s main milestone events and side tournaments, which are some of the best opportunities to earn Flare Guns, dice, and other goodies. If you want to truly get the most out of these overlapping events, you need to play with the right strategy.
Before rolling, take a few minutes toreview the milestone rewardsfor both the main event and any active tournaments. Knowing exactly what each milestone offers helps you decide whether pushing forward is worth the cost. For instance, if an event milestone requires 1,800 points but only gives you a handful of Flare Guns, it may not be worth the dice investment. In that case, it’s smarter to stop playing andsave your rolls for the new event.
If you’re playing in a side tournament and find yourselfclose to a top 5 spot, it’s worth going for it because you’ll win more dice andExpress Coins for the Tycoon Express. Just be mindful of your dice balance. If pushing for a leaderboard rank means burning through your dice pool for minimal gain, it’s better to wait it out.
Stockpile Flare Gun Tokens Before You Start Digging
As exciting as the Fantastic Treasures event is, don’t make the rookie mistake of jumping onto the dig board as soon as you earn your first few Flare Gun tokens.The smartest strategy is to stockpile as many Flare Guns as possible before you begin digging.This way, you’re able to clear entire boards more efficiently and take full advantage of your momentum.
Digging with only a few tokens at a time breaks your rhythm and increases the temptation to dig randomly, which often leads to wasted moves. Instead, save up a large batch of Flare Guns, ideally 300 or more, before you start playing the Fantastic Treasures minigame.
You can collect Flare Guns in multiple ways; all you have to do is be consistent. Here are the best ways to collect more Flare Gun tokens:
Solo Events
The best way to get Flare Gun tokens is through the milestone rewards in solo events. The further you progress in these events, the more tokens you’ll earn at each milestone. It’s a good idea to usehigher dice multipliers, like x50, when you’re a few spaces away from an event tile (for example, corner tiles, or chance and tax tiles)
Side Tournaments
Leaderboard tournaments are another great way to earn Flare Gun tokens. Even if you’re not aiming for the top ranks, just reaching the milestones will reward you with a healthy amount of Flare Guns, along with dice andsticker packs.
Quick Wins
YourQuick Winsreset every day and include Flare Guns as part of the rewards. These are small tasks that take only a few minutes. If you consistently complete the Quick Wins every day, the number of Flare Gun tokens will slowly but surely add up.
Free Gifts in the Shop
Lastly, you can visit the in-game shop every eight hours to claim a free gift. During the Fantastic Treasures event, these usually include a handful of Flare Guns. It’s a good idea to set a timer or alarm if needed so you don’t miss out on these easy freebies.
