Monopoly Go: Discovery Derby Event Guide (August 8-9)

PostsWhile it’s far from the most exciting event happening in Monopoly Go right now, with two other events happening in tandem, the Discovery Derby tournament is a foolproof way to earn extra pickaxes to use during the Dino Treasures event. A good chunk of your milestone rewards are pickaxes, so be sure to use them up wisely!
How To Play Discovery Derby
Hopefully you didn't burn through too many of your extra dice rolls in City Racers this past week, since you'll want a good number of dice rolls to help you earn points in the Discovery Derby daily tournament in Monopoly Go today! As always with daily tournaments like this, you'll want to aim to land on the four Railroad tiles around your current game board in order to begin one of the two mini-games that offer points during Discovery Derby.
As you roll, be on the lookout for the tan fossil tokens lying around various spots on your game board - landing on these tokens nets you points for the Jurassic Journey event at the center of your screen in Monopoly Go, too. Between the pickaxes for the Dino Treasures event and the tokens you'll collect for the Jurassic Journey event, the Discovery Derby tournament is a really nice supplemental event!

That is, unless you rolled a higher dice multiplier to land on that Railroad tile! Rolling using a higher dice roll multiplier is the best way to multiply all your Discovery Derby points by the number on your multiplier - the higher multiplier you use, the more points you'll earn from the same Shutdown or Bank Heist!
On its own, the list of rewards for Discovery Derby isn't that stellar, with the highest value prize on each leaderboard of 50 total players is only a cash prize, a pretty good number of extra dice rolls, and two blue sticker packs - not even a purple one today! Maybe that's because so many of the prizes along the way are the pickaxe tokens you'll need to progress through Dino Treasures, which offers a better spread of prizes.
Still, along the way, as you climb up the leaderboard earning points in Discovery Derby from Monopoly Go, you'll find yourself earning a variety of cool prizes even outside the pickaxes. These include the usual smattering of things like bonus sticker packs (in case the City Racers event didn't finish out your Monopoly Games albums), bonus cash payouts, extra dice rolls, and more.
For the full list of every prize available as milestone rewards in Discovery Derby for Monopoly Go, check out the table below for each prize and how many Discovery Derby points you'll need to earn before you claim them. There are 30 total milestone rewards in Discovery Derby from Monopoly Go for you to collect as you work toward progress in the game's other two events today, all of which we've detailed below.

The best way to earn a better payout from all the milestones in Discovery Derby labeled as "Cash Reward" in our table of rewards above is to increase your net worth. You can do this by upgrading buildings on your board, moving between new boards, and even landing on completed monopolies as you roll your game token around the board itself. The higher your net worth, the more you'll net in these Discovery Derby reward milestones.
