The checkered flag waves once again as Monopoly Go launches its adrenaline-fueled City Racers event, running from April 2 at 1 PM EST through April 6 at 4 PM EST in 2025. Players rev their engines for a chance to claim spectacular rewards, including the exclusive Champ board token, a Wild Sticker redeemable for any missing album sticker regardless of rarity, and the blazing Burning Rubber emoji. Whether joining forces with friends or speeding solo across the finish line, competitors collect flag tokens through diverse in-game activities to power their racecars. This limited-time showdown introduces strategic twists like the Ball and Chain obstacle, forcing teams to adapt tactics mid-race.
🔧 Establishing Your Racing Strategy
Before engines roar, players face a critical choice: compete solo or form a four-player team. While solo racers chase scaled-down prizes, teams amplify rewards—but require coordination. Savvy competitors partner with highly active friends since teammates remain locked once races commence. A last-minute exit remains possible only before the first race begins, though invitations can cascade through friend networks. Without in-game chat, selecting reliable allies proves essential—prioritize players who consistently maintain shields during attacks. This foundation determines whether you’ll coast to victory or sputter in the dust.
🚩 Collecting Flag Tokens: Your Fuel for Victory
City Racers tokens act as currency for entering races, earned through six dynamic methods:

🏁 Mastering the Three-Race Grand Prix
Spend tokens to roll three dice simultaneously, propelling your car across tracks scaled by multiplier bets. The event unfolds across three daily races from April 3–6, where final standings dictate prize tiers. Introducing chaos, the Ball and Chain slashes a rival team’s rolls by 50%—ideal for hindering frontrunners or protecting leads. Team synergy becomes paramount; collective lap completions unlock shared reward picks. Solo racers, meanwhile, rely purely on individual consistency. Points accumulate per finish position, culminating in an April 6 payout where only the swiftest claim glory.
🏆 Prize Tiers: Team vs. Solo Showdowns
Rewards reflect risk-rebalance dynamics—teams chase grander loot but demand coordination. The coveted Champ token (a triumphant racer strutting across boards) headlines both tracks, alongside the smoky Burning Rubber emoji. Crucially, top-tier team victors snag the game-changing Wild Sticker, absent from solo rewards. Compare structures below:
| Team Prizes | Solo Prizes |
|---|---|
| 1st: Champ Token + Wild Sticker + Burning Rubber Emoji + Purple Pack | 1st: Champ Token + Burning Rubber Emoji + Pink + Blue Packs |
| 2nd: Burning Rubber Emoji + Purple + Blue Packs | 2nd: Burning Rubber Emoji + Pink + Yellow Packs |
| 3rd: Burning Rubber Emoji + Blue + Pink Packs | 3rd: Yellow Sticker Pack |
| 4th: Yellow + Green Packs | 4th: Green Sticker Pack |
