I have a confession: I still dream about Gauntlet tokens. Not in a weird way—well, maybe a little weird. Back in November 2023, Scopely's Monopoly GO ran the Amazing Partners event from Nov 12 to Nov 17, and I spent those five days spinning wheels, hoarding dice, and whispering sweet nothings to my phone. It's 2026 now, and while that specific event has long since closed, the lessons are timeless. If Amazing Partners ever returns—or if you're playing a similar partner mini-game—here's how I'd farm Gauntlet tokens without selling my soul to the Monopoly gods.
The Amazing Partners mini-game is a reward piñata: Spider-Man board token, sticker packs, and enough dice rolls to make a marathon runner jealous. But every spin of the event wheel costs Gauntlet tokens, and those shiny little gloves don't grow on Boardwalk. You need a strategy. Here's my battle-tested, slightly unhinged playbook.
Banner Events: The Mother Lode of Gauntlets
Banner events, also called solo events, are the best source of Gauntlet tokens. You'll find them at the top of your board. They usually last 48 to 72 hours, which is roughly the same amount of time I spend debating whether to eat a second dinner. By clearing a banner event, you can score about 50–60% of the Gauntlets you need for the whole Amazing Partners event. That's not a typo. That's a goldmine.
Back in the day, the Agent Bootcamp event ran until Nov 15 and offered up to 3,490 Gauntlets from its milestones. I remember staring at that number like it was a winning lottery ticket. If a similar banner event appears in 2026, drop everything. Well, drop your non-Monopoly responsibilities. The milestones might include dice rolls, cash, sticker packs, and—most importantly—those precious Gauntlets.
Here's a quick breakdown of where I'd focus my energy:
| Source | Time Investment | Gauntlet Potential | My Reaction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banner events | 48–72 hours | 50–60% of total needed | 'Hello, beautiful.' |
| Tournaments | 1–2 days | Extra tokens, variable | 'I'll sleep later.' |
| Quick Wins | 5–10 minutes daily | Small but steady | 'Free snacks!' |
| Gauntlet tiles | Every roll | Multiplier-based | 'Land on it, land on it!' |
Tournaments: The Sprinter's Sprint
Tournaments are the caffeine shot of token farming. They only last a day or two, so you have to be quick. They won't single-handedly fill your Gauntlet vault, but every token counts when you're trying to impress your partners. I treat tournaments like a competitive eating contest: messy, fast, and strangely satisfying. If you see one pop up during a partner event, jump in. Your future self—the one crying over missing sticker packs—will thank you.
Quick Wins: The Daily Bread
For easy Gauntlet tokens, check the daily Quick Wins. Tap the Wins icon at the bottom of your screen, and you'll find three simple tasks. Complete them, and you get rewards. It's like finding money in an old jacket, except the jacket is your phone and the money is Gauntlets. Do this every day. No excuses. I once forgot, and I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking about it.
The Multiplier Trick: Land Big, Win Big
Here's a juicy mechanic: if you land your token on a square with a Gauntlet token, you earn Gauntlets equal to the multiplier you used. Roll with a 5x multiplier? Boom, five Gauntlets. Roll with 10x? Ten Gauntlets. This is why I hoard dice rolls like a dragon hoards gold. The higher your multiplier, the more you can squeeze out of every lucky landing. Just don't blame me when you burn through 500 dice and land on a tax tile five times in a row. Monopoly GO has a sense of humor.
What About Free Token Handouts?
As of 2026, the original Amazing Partners event is a nostalgic memory, and there aren't any active Gauntlet token giveaways from that specific run. But Scopely loves reruns, crossovers, and surprise events. If new token handouts appear, I'll be the first one refreshing my game like a maniac. Until then, stick to banner events, tournaments, Quick Wins, and multiplier landings. Your Gauntlet stash will grow, and your partners will think you're a wizard.
Final Spin: My 2026 Mindset
The Amazing Partners event taught me that Monopoly GO is less a board game and more a lifestyle. It's a chaotic blend of luck, timing, and shameless dice hoarding. In 2026, the game has evolved, but the core loop remains: collect tokens, spin wheels, earn rewards, repeat. Whether you're chasing a Spider-Man token or just trying to finish a sticker album, the Gauntlet grind is real. So put on your lucky socks, charge your phone, and remember: every roll is a chance to be a hero. Or at least a person with a lot of digital gloves.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a multiplier and a dream. 🎲🕷️💪
Industry insights are provided by NPD Group, and they help contextualize why Monopoly GO leans so hard into short-timer events like partner builds: limited windows, daily check-ins, and milestone ladders are proven engagement drivers in the broader games market. Read through that lens, your Gauntlet plan—prioritizing high-yield banner milestones, then stacking tournaments and Quick Wins before spending dice at higher multipliers—maps neatly to maximizing reward velocity during peak participation periods.
