Monopoly Go, the mobile version of the classic board game, introduces shields as a key defensive tool - and with unique shield skins, you can show off your style while protecting your empire. This guide simplifies the process of getting different shields based on the game's mechanics, so you're ready to protect your landmarks with flair. Let's get started!Why shields are importantDefend and customiseShields block enemy shutdown attacks on your landmarks, and their cosmetic skins allow you to personalise your game. While regular shields spawn naturally, unlocking different skins takes a bit of effort - but it's worth it for the bragging rights.How to get different shieldsStep-by-step basicsLaunch Monopoly Go: Open the app on your iOS or Android device.Log in: Use your linked account (Facebook, Apple or Google) to access your game. Guest mode works, but doesn't save shield skins across devices.Collect regular shields: Land on property tiles with shield icons (randomly placed) - these will automatically equip up to a maximum of 3 (or 5 in some updates). Extra shields turn into dice rolls.Unlock shield skins: Focus on these methods:Events & Tournaments: Seasonal events (e.g. Peg-E, Sunset Treasures) and tournaments (e.g. Mistletoe, Horseshoe Games) offer skins as milestone or high level rewards (often top 5-7).Quick Wins: Tap on "Wins" (bottom left) for daily/weekly tasks - completing these sometimes grants skins as well as dice or stickers.Sticker albums: Complete sets (e.g. Heartfelt Holidays, Making Music) for skins such as Merry Spruce or Vintage Turntable.Daily check-ins: Log in daily - occasional rewards include free skins (e.g. Ice Cream Cone on Anniversaries).View and equip skinsAccess the Showroom: Tap the three-bar menu (top right) > My Showroom > Shield icon (middle button).Equip: Browse your collection and tap "Equip" on your chosen skin - purely cosmetic, no gameplay boost.![]() Tips for successStay active: Shields spawn while you're offline, but skins require event participation - check back daily for new challenges.Prioritise events: Tournaments and treasure hunts (e.g. Dino Treasures) often tie skins to higher levels (e.g. level 10-12).Dice Up: Redeem free dice rolls (via in-game links) to reach event milestones faster.Don't worry about missing skins: Most are time limited - focus on current events, not past ones.![]() Thanks for readingWith this guide, you'll be able to grab various shields in Monopoly Go.
