Exploding critters in Monopoly GO can clear covered tiles and help break stubborn tiles, so prioritize one when its blast can reveal several unknown spaces. Pickaxes are the tools spent on the digging grid, and every required treasure must be fully uncovered before you receive the board reward. For players also considering Monopoly Go Partners Event, these tactics apply specifically to treasure digging.

How to choose your next dig

Compare the remaining treasure shapes with the covered spaces before tapping. A revealed empty tile helps rule out placements, while a partly exposed treasure gives you a clearer target. Start near an edge when a large object has only a few possible positions; an edge-first approach is not a guaranteed answer for every board.

When a critter becomes available, consider what its blast could expose before spending tools on nearby tiles. The useful choice is the one that opens unknown space or helps with stubborn tiles. After the blast, reassess the board before continuing along your previous digging path. This is a decision-making approach, not a promise of a fixed Pickaxe saving.

Which October boards included critters

The October 13, 2026 Roll Treasures edition listed critters on six boards. It ran from October 13 at 1:00 p.m. EDT until October 14 at 12:59 p.m. EDT and has ended; these details describe that edition, not an active reward track.

Level Exploding critters Completion reward
6 3 Cash
9 3 300 rolls
10 4 Cash
11 8 450 rolls
13 12 Roll Match for 5 minutes
14 2 Cash

These counts identify boards where blast-assisted digging was possible; they do not establish how many tools each player would save.

Why Pickaxe estimates need room for extra digs

A base Pickaxe count is not a guaranteed finishing cost. Empty digs and stubborn tiles can increase spending, while critters can reduce the direct digging needed. Level 13 also has conflicting figures of 14 and 16; the five treasure footprints total 16 tiles, but that arithmetic still cannot predict actual spending.

The full 15-level track offered 1,550-2,350 rolls. Its final package included 400-1,200 rolls, five minutes of Lucky Chance, and a Loot Box. The upper dice amount should not be assumed for every account; use the reward displayed in the event to judge the applicable payout.

For your next event, inspect the remaining shapes and your tool balance before opening another tile. While reviewing Monopoly Go Partners Event for sale, keep the digging decision grounded in the board itself: choose a plausible treasure position, assess any available critter, and reassess after each reveal.
