The Sunset Treasures digging mini-game in Monopoly GO is one of those limited-time events that feels simple at first but quickly turns into a full resource-management challenge. You’re not just digging randomly—you’re balancing Pickaxe Tokens, milestone progression, and timing your final run so you don’t waste rewards. The upside is big: completing all 20 levels can net you a Wild Sticker, up to 2,500 Dice Rolls, and a large Cash payout.
This guide breaks down how the event works, all milestone rewards, and how to maximize your Pickaxe efficiency without falling behind.
How the Sunset Treasures Event Works
Sunset Treasures is a 20-level digging board event. Each level is a grid filled with hidden objects, and you uncover them using Pickaxe Tokens. Every time you reveal all required artifacts on a board, you move to the next milestone.
Unlike standard board movement events, this one is entirely resource-driven. Your progress depends on how many Pickaxes you can collect and how efficiently you use them. If you run out mid-level, you’ll have to wait for more tokens before continuing.
The core loop is simple:
Collect Pickaxes → Dig tiles → Reveal artifacts → Clear level → Move to next milestone.
But the difficulty ramps up as the grids get larger and the required hits increase.
Sunset Treasures Milestone Rewards Overview
The event is split into 20 milestones, each giving progressively better rewards. The structure is designed so even casual players get steady value, while endgame completion heavily rewards consistent grinders.
Milestones 1–5: Early Progress Boost
The first few levels are designed to get you moving quickly.
- Small Cash rewards
- Green and Yellow Sticker Packs
- 25 to 100 Dice Rolls per milestone
At this stage, you’re mostly building momentum. Dice rewards are modest, but they help you keep playing without dipping into your reserves.
Milestones 6–10: Mid-Game Scaling
Once you pass the early boards, the rewards start to improve noticeably.
- Medium Cash payouts
- Pink Sticker Packs
- 100 to 250 Dice Rolls per milestone
This is where you begin to feel the real value of the event. Dice accumulation becomes meaningful, and Sticker Packs start improving your collection more consistently.
Milestones 11–15: Feature Rewards and Higher Value Packs
Mid-late progression introduces some of the most interesting rewards.
- Event-themed cosmetic rewards (such as token skins or shields)
- Blue Sticker Packs
- 300+ Dice Rolls per milestone
These levels are often where players slow down due to Pickaxe scarcity. Planning ahead becomes important here, especially if you want to reach the final reward tier.
Milestones 16–19: High-Value Cash and Premium Packs
This is the endgame stretch before the final prize.
- Large Cash injections
- Purple Sticker Packs
- High-volume Dice rewards
These boards are usually the most resource-heavy. Mistakes in digging become more costly, and inefficient Pickaxe usage can delay your completion.
Milestone 20: Grand Prize Completion
The final level is the main reason players push through the entire event.
- 1 Wild Sticker (can replace any missing sticker, including Gold)
- 2,500 Dice Rolls
- Massive Cash payout
The Wild Sticker alone is often considered the top reward since it can complete difficult album sets. Combined with the Dice and Cash, this milestone is the real payoff for efficient play.
How to Earn Pickaxe Tokens Efficiently
Pickaxes are the only way to interact with the event, so managing your supply is the key to success. Running out too early can stall your progress, even if you’ve already cleared several milestones.
Here are the main ways to earn them:
Solo Events and Tournaments
Participating in parallel events is the fastest way to build Pickaxe reserves. Many milestone rewards in tournaments include large bundles of Pickaxes, especially at mid-tier progression levels.
If you’re actively pushing Sunset Treasures, it’s worth syncing your gameplay so you hit tournament milestones at the same time.
Daily Quick Wins
Quick Wins remain one of the most reliable sources.
Completing your three daily tasks consistently gives guaranteed Pickaxe bundles. These tasks are usually simple—rolling dice, landing on specific tiles, or completing basic actions.
Over the course of the event, this steady income adds up significantly.
Free Shop Gifts (Every 8 Hours)
The in-game shop offers a free reward box every eight hours. While it’s often overlooked, this is a consistent source of Pickaxes throughout the day.
If you’re serious about finishing the event, checking in at least two to three times daily is important.
Strategy Tips for Completing Sunset Treasures
Winning this event isn’t just about collecting Pickaxes—it’s about how you use them.
Don’t Dig Randomly
The biggest mistake players make is clicking tiles without a pattern. Efficient digging comes from logical clearing rather than random guessing. Pay attention to board shapes and eliminate low-probability tiles first.
Save Resources for Later Boards
Early milestones are forgiving, but difficulty increases sharply after level 10. If you burn through Pickaxes too quickly in the beginning, you may struggle to reach the final reward.
Stack Event Timing
Try to align Sunset Treasures with active tournaments or special events. This lets you earn Pickaxes from multiple sources at the same time, effectively doubling your efficiency.
Watch Your End Timing
One of the most important mechanics is what happens to leftover Pickaxes.
At the end of the event, unused Pickaxes convert into Dice Rolls at a rate of 1 Pickaxe = 3 Dice. This conversion is extremely valuable, but only if you finish strategically.
The best approach is:
- Continue collecting Pickaxes even after reaching the final levels
- Avoid finishing Milestone 20 too early if other events are still active
- Time your completion close to the event expiration to maximize total Dice conversion
Sunset Treasures in Monopoly GO is one of the more rewarding digging events because it combines guaranteed progression with a strong final payout. The Wild Sticker at the end makes it especially valuable for album completion, while the Dice conversion system rewards careful planning even after you finish.
Players who succeed in this event usually do three things well: they consistently farm Pickaxes, they avoid wasting resources early, and they time their final completion for maximum conversion value.
If you manage those three elements, reaching Milestone 20 becomes less about luck and more about steady, controlled progression.
