Shutdown Guide: Attacking and Defending Landmarks

What this feature does

Shutdown lets you target another player’s landmark; an active shield blocks the damage, while an unshielded hit damages the landmark.

This guide follows the permanent gameplay rules described by the official Monopoly GO Help Center. Event prizes, thresholds, timers, and availability can change, so the live event panel is always the final authority.

How it works in the game

Shutdown lets you target another player’s landmark; an active shield blocks the damage, while an unshielded hit damages the landmark.

Treat the feature as one part of the full event calendar. Before spending dice or event currency, open its information panel and confirm the current scoring tiles, milestone rewards, remaining time, and any account-specific rules.

Practical strategy

1Define the exact milestone or outcome you want before the first high-cost roll.
2Raise the multiplier only where several useful landing outcomes are clustered; lower it after passing them.
3Compare the estimated dice cost of the next reward with the dice, packs, cash, or event currency it returns.

Timing and resource control

Wait for overlapping objectives rather than spending only because a timer is visible.
Use the game’s current reward panel for decisions; fixed online reward tables can become outdated.
Set a dice or currency stop-loss before playing and keep enough resources for the next daily reset.

Common mistakes

Assuming an old reward chart, event duration, or trading limit still applies without checking the live game.
Chasing the final milestone after the cost has become larger than the practical value of the reward.

Before you play

Current rules and timer checked in the event information panel.
Target milestone and maximum spend written down.
Compatible events and flash boosters reviewed.
Every unlocked reward claimed before the event closes.

Bottom line

Use the mechanic deliberately, verify the live rules, and stop at a profitable milestone. Shutdown lets you target another player’s landmark; an active shield blocks the damage, while an unshielded hit damages the landmark.
