You're staring at the board. Dice are low. The "Greeting Journey" banner is mocking you from the top of the screen. We’ve all been there, honestly. Greeting Journey Monopoly Go isn't just another random filler event; it’s one of those tactical hurdles that determines whether you finish your current sticker album or end up begging for trades in a Facebook group at 3:00 AM.
Monopoly Go players know the drill. Scopely drops these events to drain your dice reserves right before a big Partner Event or a Treasure Hunt. If you aren't careful, you’ll burn 2,000 dice just to win 500 back. That’s bad math. To actually win, you have to understand exactly how the point distribution works for this specific rotation.
The Reality of Greeting Journey Monopoly Go Scoring
Most people just roll and hope for the best. Don't do that. Greeting Journey Monopoly Go typically functions as a "corner square" or "pickup" event. If it’s a pickup event, you’re looking for those little icons floating on the tiles. If it’s a corner event, you only get points for landing on Go, Just Visiting, Free Parking, and Go to Jail.
The math changes everything.
When the event focuses on pickups, your best friend is the "cluster." You wait until three or four event tokens are within a 6-to-10-tile range of your current position. That is the sweet spot. Why? Because the most common rolls with two dice are 6, 7, and 8. If you see a clump of tokens in that zone, crank that multiplier up. If the tokens are scattered or behind you, drop back to a 1x multiplier. It’s boring, but it’s how you keep your dice bank from hitting zero.
Let's talk about the "Go to Jail" strategy. In a corner-based Greeting Journey, landing in jail is actually the best thing that can happen to you. You get the event points for landing there, and then you have a 1-in-6 chance of hitting doubles to get a massive payout of extra dice. It’s the only time in the game where being a criminal pays off.
Milestones and Why You Should Probably Stop Early
Here is a hard truth: you probably shouldn't finish the event.
Scopely designs the rewards to be "top-heavy." The first 20 levels of Greeting Journey Monopoly Go are usually great. You get some 2-star sticker packs, a few hundred dice, and maybe a 10-minute High Roller boost. But then you hit the "dead zone." This is the stretch between milestone 25 and 40 where the point requirements skyrocket, but the rewards stay mediocre.
I’ve seen players waste thousands of dice chasing a 4-star blue pack when they could have just waited two days for the next tournament.
Knowing the Reward Tiers
Usually, the big prize is a Purple Pack at the very end—milestone 50 or so. To get there, you’re looking at a total point requirement that often exceeds 20,000 points. If you don't have a 10,000+ dice stack, you aren't hitting the end. It’s better to look at the reward list (which usually leaks on Discord or community wikis the hour the event starts) and pick a "stopping point."
A smart stopping point is usually right after a large dice reward. If Milestone 32 gives you 1,200 dice and Milestone 33 requires 2,500 points for a mere 15-minute Mega Heist, stop at 32. Walk away. Save your rolls for the next day.
The High Roller Trap
We need to talk about that 5x, 10x, 100x button.
High Roller is a drug. It feels amazing to hit a milestone in one click, but in Greeting Journey Monopoly Go, it's a quick way to go broke. Only use the 1000x multiplier (if you have it unlocked) when you are exactly 6, 7, or 8 spaces away from a high-value target like a Chance tile that might send you to a railroad, or a high-traffic corner.
If you're just rolling 100x on random stretches of the board, the house always wins.
Synergies with Daily Tournaments
The Greeting Journey doesn't exist in a vacuum. It runs alongside the 24-hour or 48-hour leaderboards on the right side of your screen. The biggest mistake is finishing your leaderboard progress but continuing to push for the main event.

Ideally, you want your progress to be "efficient." If you’ve already secured the top spot in your local tournament (or you’re so far behind that you’ll never catch up), and you’re still 1,000 points away from the next Greeting Journey milestone, just stop. You’re essentially paying double for your rewards at that point.
Wait for the leaderboard to reset. That way, every railroad you hit counts toward a new set of rewards while you’re simultaneously chipping away at the Greeting Journey.
Strategy for Small Stacks
If you have under 1,000 dice, your approach to Greeting Journey Monopoly Go should be "The Vulture." You aren't hunting the big packs. You are hunting the "Free Parking" events and the "Dice Links."
- Check for Active Boosts: Never roll big unless there’s a "Wheel Boost" or "Sticker Boom" active.
- The 6-7-8 Rule: Only increase your multiplier when your target is 6, 7, or 8 spaces away.
- Shield Maintenance: Keep your shields up. It sounds obvious, but losing shields means losing money, and losing money means you can't upgrade landmarks to get the extra dice from leveling up your map.
Common Misconceptions About Board RNG
You’ll hear people say the game is "rigged" to make you miss the tiles you need. While the RNG (Random Number Generator) in Monopoly Go is a frequent topic of debate in the community, the physics of the dice aren't what you should worry about. It’s the "Point Inflation."
As you progress through the Greeting Journey Monopoly Go milestones, the "cost per die" effectively increases. The game doesn't necessarily make you miss; it just makes the finish line further away. Understanding that the later levels are designed to be "dice sinks" helps you keep a level head. Don't chase.
Actionable Steps for Your Current Session
To get the most out of the current event without ending up with zero dice, follow this sequence:
Check the current milestone list on a trusted community site to see where the next "Big Dice" payout is. If it's more than three milestones away and you're low on dice, stop rolling.
Focus on the "6-7-8" strategy. Statistically, these are the most likely outcomes of a two-dice roll. Only max your multiplier when an event-related tile (or a Railroad) is within that range.
Synchronize your play with the side tournament. If there is a "Mega Heist" active, that is the best time to push, as the points you gain will feed both the Greeting Journey and the side leaderboard simultaneously.
Watch the clock. If the event ends in two hours and you’re nowhere near a major milestone, don't panic-roll. Let it expire. The next event will start immediately, and the early milestones will be much cheaper to hit.
The goal isn't to finish the map. The goal is to finish the sticker album. Use the event as a tool to get the packs you need, then get out before the game drains your resources.
