The Monopoly GO Shutdown minigame can be triggered by landing on one of the Railroad's tiles on the virtual board. Various additional minigames are added to this classic board game, granting valuable items such as in-game money, jewelry, and gold.

When expanding your real estate holdings, Shutdown plays a vital business role. Playing this subgame means you're engaging in an activity of looting other players' buildings and monuments.

Additionally, playing them enhances your social and interactive experience, improving tactical rivalry while giving you a competitive edge.

Since Shutdown relies heavily on dice, you must collect a substantial amount. Doing so is comparatively easy. However, you must complete specific objectives to get them or purchase them directly from the Store. The more dice you gather, the higher your chances of starting this microgame.

Once you trigger the Shutdown minigame, you will be transferred to another fellow tycoon's board, where you can attack their Landmarks. There are five distinct Landmarks, and upgrading them increases your virtual Net Worth and value. However, attacking opponents' properties means you will be stealing their money to build your empire.
