One of the things I’ve learned as a long-time Monopoly GO enthusiast is that the smallest events often bring the biggest surprises. Cheerful Chase, which ran from December 23 to 25, proved that perfectly. At first, I thought a 48-hour solo event would be quick and casual — but a few hours in, I realised it was a serious opportunity to grow my dice inventory.

The event mechanics are straightforward: you earn points by landing on Tax or Utility tiles, and those points multiply with your dice multiplier. Each milestone tier rewards you with something — free dice, sticker packs, or Partner Event tokens — and if you reach all 62, you can pull in over 18,000 dice. That’s an extraordinary amount, enough to keep you rolling well into the next event.

My favourite aspect, though, was how Cheerful Chase synergised with the ongoing Toyshop Partners event. It reminded me of how Monopoly GO sometimes layers multiple challenges so you feel productive across all fronts. Every milestone gave me Partner tokens, which I used to upgrade our shared builds. It felt rewarding to know that while I was chasing solo goals, I was also boosting my team’s collective progress.

From a strategic perspective, I quickly learned not to roll mindlessly. I mapped out the board and noticed that the GO corner was the most lucrative area for scoring. Both Tax spaces live there, along with two Railroads and a couple of Chance spaces. Staying near that section improved my efficiency massively. Whenever I finished laps that landed me outside of that area, I’d slow down or lower my multiplier until I was back in the zone.

Speaking of multipliers — they’re everything in this event. At first, I made the mistake of staying too cautious, rolling mostly at 3x or 5x. Once I realised I could rack up far more points at 10x or 20x near the GO area, my milestones started flying by. The key is balance: big multipliers only when the odds favour you.

What surprised me most was how satisfying it felt to chase milestones constantly. The sound effects, the cheerful visuals, and even the animated milestone tracker add a festive touch that fits nicely with the Christmas season. It’s easy to underestimate how much these small touches enhance the overall motivation.

By the end of Cheerful Chase, I’d gained over 15,000 dice and well over 3,000 Partner tokens. But more than the prizes, I came away feeling I’d mastered the art of efficient rolling.
