Monopoly Go Best Buds Contest rewards include 13,000+ free dice rolls, sticker packs, and cash. Land on Railroad tiles Nov 17–18, 2026.

I’ve been playing Monopoly Go long enough to know that the quiet week between big partners events is not a vacation—it’s a calibration window. The Best Buds Contest is that calibration window in tournament form. From 3PM EST on November 17 to 1PM EST on November 18, 2026, every Railroad tile I land on becomes a tiny turnstile to rewards. The event is not a tsunami of Thanos gauntlets or album-defining milestones; it is a steady tide of cash, sticker packs, board boosts, and just over 13,000 free dice rolls. For anyone still closing out the current sticker album, that is more than enough reason to keep rolling.

How To Earn Rewards In Best Buds Contest

During Best Buds Contest, I only earn leaderboard points by landing on Railroad tiles. The number depends on which minigame I trigger and how it resolves. It’s like a vending machine with two buttons: Shutdown and Bank Heist, each with its own payout table. If I’m strategic, I don’t just mash dice; I watch the board and time my multiplier for the moments when a Railroad tile is within reach.

Points Earned During Best Buds Contest In Monopoly Go

Shutdown Result	Points	Bank Heist Result	Points
Unsuccessful	2	Small Heist	4
Successful	4	Large Heist	6
—	—	Bankrupt	8

The math is simple: a successful shutdown is twice as valuable as a failed one, and bankrupting a rival during a Bank Heist is the jackpot. It’s a bit like panning for gold: most scoops are gravel, but every so often you hit a nugget.

The final milestone alone hands over 3,500 dice, which is like finding a spare key to the dice vault. Across all 40 milestones, the total is just over 13,000 free dice rolls, plus a pile of cash and three blue sticker packs. That third blue pack is the one I’m treating like a rare truffle: it might not complete the album by itself, but it can unearth the last missing sticker if the RNG gods are feeling generous.

The Top Five Emoji Prize and Final Tips

Finishing in the top five of each 50-player leaderboard also awards a new emoji: Mr. Monopoly shaking hands with his pal from the Friendship Pays event. I’m not usually an emoji collector, but this one is a diplomatic little handshake—perfect for friendly rivalries or for taunting someone after a successful shutdown. It’s the social equivalent of a firm handshake after a poker game: polite on the surface, quietly devastating underneath.

A few things I’ve learned from grinding these tournaments:

• 🎲 Don’t chase every Railroad tile if your multiplier is low. Let the dice breathe.

• 🚂 Save High Roller and Mega Heist activations for moments when you have multiple Railroad tiles in range.

• 📦 If you’re close to a sticker pack milestone, calculate whether a few extra rolls are worth the dice cost. The blue packs at milestones 18, 24, and 30 are the real prizes.

• 😴 Remember that this is a 26-hour tournament. Sleep is a resource; set an alarm if you’re hunting top five.

I’ve seen dozens of Monopoly Go tournaments blur together, but Best Buds Contest is a pleasant reminder that not every event needs to be a universe-ending crossover. Sometimes a handshake, a garden of pink flowers, and a stack of blue sticker packs are enough. If you’re rolling in 2026, treat this contest like a garden hose, not a fire hose: steady pressure, aimed at the right tiles, will get you the rewards. Good luck, and may your Bank Heists bankrupt everyone but you.
