Where do Pickaxe tokens go when Treasure Hunt ends in Monopoly GO?

When the Treasure Hunt ends in Monopoly GO, any leftover Pickaxe tokens are turned into dice—each Pickaxe becomes three dice. The game doesn’t carry them over to the next event, so you start each Treasure Hunt with no tokens. Getting extra dice is a good bonus, even if the exchange rate isn’t great.

For instance, if you complete all 20 excavation sites in Sunset Treasures and have 15 Pickaxe tokens remaining, you’ll get 45 dice at the event’s conclusion.

After you’ve claimed all the prizes from all the sites in the Treasure Hunt, rewards from other events that give you Pickaxe tokens, like main events, tournaments, and Quick Wins, will instead give you Cash, so you can’t earn more Pickaxes. So, focus on getting as many Pickaxes as possible before completing the Treasure Hunt.

For instance, if you need five Pickaxes to finish the event and have them, hold off on using them. Continue participating in events like Full Bloom to gather extra Pickaxes. Once you’ve collected the extra Pickaxes from all possible sources, use the ones you need to complete the final grid of the Treasure Hunt and finish the event.

By doing this, you’ll receive more dice when the game converts them at the end of the Treasure Hunt. This strategy ensures you get the greatest benefit from the main event and tournaments where you earned the Pickaxes, instead of just extra cash.

Keep in mind that the current Treasure Hunt, Sunset Treasures, ends on March 22 at 2:59pm CT.
