If you’ve been playing Escape Tsunami for Brainrots on Roblox lately, you already know how fast things change. New events drop, the map transforms, and suddenly there’s a whole new way to grind for cash and rare Brainrots. The Money Event is one of the most exciting limited-time events in the game right now, and if you haven’t figured out how to make the most of it, you’re leaving serious rewards on the table.
I’ve spent a lot of time testing every mechanic this event has to offer, from farming Gold Bars across the map to spinning the Money Wheel and using the ATM fusion machine. In this guide, I’m breaking down everything you need to know: how the Money Event works, when it spawns, what rewards you can earn, how to get Money Lucky Blocks, where to find the ATM, and the best strategies to maximise your earnings while it’s live. Whether you’re a beginner still learning the basics or a veteran chasing Celestial Brainrots, this guide has you covered.
| Money Event | A limited-time event that transforms the map | Spawns randomly or during Admin Abuse |
| Gold Bars | Special currency dropped during the event | Pick them up across all map areas |
| Money Spin | A spin wheel with exclusive rewards | Costs 20 Gold Bars per spin |
| Money Lucky Blocks | Premium loot boxes with rare Brainrots | Earned from obbies, Money Spin, or random spawns |
| ATM Machine | A fusion machine exclusive to this event | Spawns in random locations on the map |
| Money Mutation | A brand-new mutation applied via the ATM | Fuse 3 Brainrots in the ATM to apply it |
| Duration | How long the event lasts | Up to 5 minutes per activation |
The Money Event is a limited-time, random-spawn event that completely changes the atmosphere of the game. When it activates, the entire map shifts to a stunning white and gold colour palette, and gold coins begin raining down from the sky. It’s one of the most visually dramatic events in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots, and it packs a serious punch in terms of rewards.
Here’s the most important thing to know right off the bat: you cannot activate this event yourself. The Money Event has a random chance of spawning on its own during normal gameplay. It can also be triggered by admins during Admin Abuse events, which is one of the best times to experience it. Once it spawns, the event lasts for up to 5 minutes, so you need to move fast and stay focused to grab everything you can before it disappears.
During those 5 minutes, three major mechanics become available to you: Gold Bars drop across the map for you to collect, obbies (obstacle courses) appear in various areas with Money Lucky Block rewards, and the ATM Machine spawns somewhere on the map for you to fuse Brainrots and apply the Money mutation. The Money Spin wheel also becomes active, letting you trade your Gold Bars for a chance at some seriously powerful rewards.
If you want to catch the Money Event more often, your best bet is to join servers during Admin Abuse or Wave Wednesday events. Admins frequently trigger special events like the Money Event during these sessions, giving you a much higher chance of experiencing it. Keep an eye on the game’s official Discord server for announcements. The community is usually very active in letting players know when events are about to drop.
The Money Event spawns randomly; there’s no fixed schedule or timer you can rely on. It can pop up at any time during regular gameplay, but it appears far more frequently during Admin Abuse sessions. Admin Abuse events happen multiple times a day (usually 2–3 times), and Wave Wednesday is a weekly Admin Abuse that runs every Wednesday at 8:30 PM GMT. These are your prime windows to catch the Money Event in action.
Pro Tip: Stay on a public server during Admin Abuse if you want the best chance. Private servers work too, but admins typically trigger events on public servers for maximum player participation.
Gold Bars are the key currency of the Money Event. You need them to spin the Money Wheel, and they only drop during the event itself. You can’t stockpile them beforehand or earn them any other way.
When the Money Event activates, Gold Bars begin falling from the sky and landing across all areas of the map. This means you can collect them whether you’re near your base in the Common zone or out in the deeper, more dangerous areas. The catch? You only have 5 minutes before the event ends, and tsunami waves don’t stop just because the event is live.
Here’s how to farm Gold Bars efficiently:
Step 1: As soon as you notice the map turn white and gold and coins start raining, stop what you’re doing and start moving across the map.
Step 2: Pick up every Gold Bar you see. They’ll appear scattered on the ground in all zones: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and beyond.
Step 3: Keep an eye on tsunami wave timers. You still need to dodge waves or hide in safe spots (trenches and gaps between zones). Getting hit sends you back to base and wastes precious event time.
Step 4: Once you’ve collected enough Gold Bars (you need 20 per spin), head to the Money Spin wheel to cash them in.
Step 5: Don’t forget to also check for obbies appearing on the map. Completing them can earn you Money Lucky Blocks directly, which is even better than spinning.
The more Gold Bars you grab, the more spins you get. And since the Money Spin has some incredibly rare rewards (more on that below), every single Gold Bar matters.

The Money Spin is the centrepiece reward mechanic of the Money Event. It costs 20 Gold Bars per spin, and each spin gives you a chance at one of several exclusive rewards. Here’s the full reward table with drop rates:
| Random Cosmic Brainrot | 62.2% | A Brainrot from the Cosmic rarity tier solid mid-to-late game earner |
| Random Secret Brainrot | 27.7% | A Secret-tier Brainrot one of the highest-earning units in the game |
| Random Celestial Brainrot | 6.2% | The rarest standard Brainrot tier generates massive passive income |
| Money Bat | 3.5% | An exclusive event Brainrot that ties into the Money theme |
| Money Lucky Block | 0.3% | A premium loot box see below for what’s inside |
| Grappelino D’Oro | 0.06% | An ultra-rare, event-exclusive Brainrot the ultimate prize from this spin |
Let me break down what these rewards mean for your progression. The 62.2% Cosmic Brainrot is your most likely outcome, and while Cosmic isn’t the highest tier, it’s still a strong earner that helps build your base income. The 27.7% Secret Brainrot is where things get really good. Secret-tier units are some of the best money generators in the game, and getting one for free from a spin is a massive boost, especially for mid-game players.
The 6.2% Celestial Brainrot is the dream pull. Celestials are the rarest standard Brainrot tier and generate the highest passive income of any unit. If you land one of these, place it in your base immediately and start levelling it up. It becomes a core earner for your entire account.
Grappelino D’Oro at 0.06% is the true whale reward. This is an ultra-rare, event-exclusive Brainrot that you simply cannot get any other way. If you’re lucky enough to pull it, hold onto it it’s one of the most coveted units in the game.
Strategy tip: If you’re collecting Gold Bars, try to stockpile at least 60 bars before you start spinning. Doing 3 spins in a row feels much better than doing them one at a time, and it gives you a better statistical spread across the reward pool.
Money Lucky Blocks are premium loot boxes that are exclusive to the Money Event. They can contain rare and powerful Brainrots, and there are three different ways to get your hands on them:
During the Money Event, obstacle course challenges (obbies) appear in various areas across the map. These are timed mini-challenges that test your speed and platforming skills. If you finish an obby before other players, you’ll earn up to 3 Money Lucky Blocks at once.
Here’s the key detail: higher rarity areas have tougher obbies, but they also reward more Lucky Blocks. If you’re fast and skilled enough to complete an obby in the Rare or Epic zone, you’ll get significantly more blocks than someone who only tackles the Common zone obby. This is where competitive players really shine during the Money Event.
As mentioned above, the Money Spin has a 0.3% chance of dropping a Money Lucky Block. It’s not your most reliable method, but if you’re spinning a lot of Gold Bars anyway, there’s always a small chance one pops up.
There’s also a very low chance that a Money Lucky Block simply spawns somewhere on the map during the event. Keep your eyes peeled as you’re running around collecting Gold Bars if you spot one glowing on the ground, grab it immediately before another player does.
Opening Money Lucky Blocks: Once you have a Money Lucky Block, equip it from your inventory back at your base and click it. The roulette animation will play, and you’ll receive a random Brainrot reward. The specific drop pool for Money Lucky Blocks tends to include higher-rarity units compared to standard Lucky Blocks, making them well worth the effort to earn.

The ATM is one of the most unique mechanics added by the Money Event. It’s a fusion machine similar to the Spawn Machine at your base, but with a critical difference: it applies the Money mutation to your fused Brainrot.
Here’s everything you need to know about the ATM:
The ATM does not have a fixed location. It spawns in random areas on the map each time the Money Event activates, similar to how Black Holes appear during the UFO event. You’ll need to explore the map during the event to find it. Look for a golden ATM-style machine sitting somewhere in the play area.
Using the ATM is straightforward, but timing is critical:
Step 1: Find the ATM on the map while the Money Event is active.
Step 2: Pick up 3 Brainrots from any zone on the map. These can be any rarity: Common, Rare, Secret, whatever you can grab quickly.
Step 3: Walk to the ATM and deposit your 3 Brainrots into it.
Step 4: Pay the required money cost to start the fusion process. The cost scales based on the value of the Brainrots you’re fusing. Fusing cheap Common units costs very little, while fusing expensive Celestials will cost significantly more.
Step 5: The fusion is instant. Your 3 Brainrots will combine into a single new Brainrot, and it will automatically receive the Money mutation.
The Money mutation is exclusive to the ATM; there’s no other way to get it in the game. Like all mutations, it increases the earning rate of the Brainrot it’s attached to. This makes the ATM incredibly valuable: even if you’re just fusing 3 Common Brainrots, the resulting unit with the Money mutation will earn more than a standard unit of the same rarity.
⚠️ Critical Warning: The ATM disappears when the Money Event ends. If you have Brainrots inside the ATM when the event despawns, you will lose those Brainrots permanently. Always make sure you complete the entire fusion process before the 5-minute timer runs out. Don’t start a fusion if you’re not confident you can finish it in time.
| Location | Random spots on the map | Right corner of your base |
| Availability | Only during Money Event | Always available |
| Mutation Applied | Money mutation (exclusive) | No guaranteed mutation |
| Input | 3 Brainrots | 3 Brainrots |
| Output | 1 fused Brainrot with Money mutation | 1 fused Brainrot (highest rarity/mutation of inputs) |
| Risk | Brainrots lost if event ends | No time pressure |
The ATM is strictly better for getting the Money mutation, but the Spawn Machine is safer and always available. Use both strategically depending on your goals.
Before we dive deeper into Money Event strategies, it’s important you understand how mutations work in the game because they’re central to making real money, and the Money Event’s ATM is your ticket to a brand-new one.
Mutations are rare modifiers that attach to Brainrots and multiply their income per second. Each Brainrot can only have one mutation at a time, and you can’t change or remove a mutation once it’s applied. Here’s a complete breakdown of every mutation currently in the game:
| Emerald | 1.2x | Common | Spawns randomly on the map in all zones |
| Gold | 1.5x | Common | Spawns randomly; also available during Gold Wave admin events |
| Blood | 2x | Uncommon | Spawns randomly on the map in all zones |
| Diamond | 2.5x | Rare | Spawns randomly; becomes more valuable on high-rarity Brainrots |
| Electric | 3x | Rare | Spawns randomly; boosted odds during Electric Wave admin events |
| Radioactive | 3.5x | Very Rare | Radioactive Lucky Blocks, Bombardinos Event, Radioactive Spin |
| UFO | 3.5x | Very Rare | UFO Event, UFO Lucky Block, Alien Lucky Block, UFO Spin |
| Money | Event-Exclusive | Exclusive | ATM Machine during Money Event only |
| Admin | 3.75x | Event-Exclusive | Admin Lucky Block (Admin Abuse only) |
| Hacker | 5x | Legacy | Level a Brainrot to 115 before a UFO Event update |
| Lucky | 10x | Ultra-Rare | Admin Abuse only personally spawned by developers |
The Money mutation slots in alongside other event-exclusive mutations like Admin and UFO. While its exact multiplier value can shift with game updates, what makes it special is that it’s only obtainable through the ATM during the Money Event, making it a genuinely unique addition to your collection.
Key Insight: The best strategy is to apply mutations to your highest-rarity Brainrots. A Celestial with a Diamond mutation (2.5x) earns far more than a Common with a Lucky mutation (10x), because the base income of the Celestial is so much higher. Always prioritise getting mutations on your Secret and Celestial units.
Not all Lucky Blocks are created equal. Here’s how Money Lucky Blocks compare to the standard blocks you find during normal gameplay:
| Availability | Money Event only | Always available in matching zones |
| How to Get | Obbies, Money Spin (0.3%), random spawn | Buy in-game or find in zones |
| Reward Pool | Higher-rarity Brainrots (event-focused) | Matches the zone tier (Common block = Common Brainrot) |
| Rarity | Very rare to obtain | Depends on zone location |
| Value | Premium worth competing for | Standard progression tool |
Money Lucky Blocks are clearly the superior option when you can get them. The obby method is your most reliable path to earning them during the event, so prioritise completing obstacle courses over other activities when the Money Event is live.
Now that you understand every mechanic, let me share the strategies I’ve found work best for getting the most out of the Money Event:
When the Money Event spawns, your first priority should be obbies, not Gold Bars. Why? Because completing an obby can give you up to 3 Money Lucky Blocks, which is far more valuable than spinning the Money Wheel. Gold Bars are scattered everywhere, and easy to collect obbis are time-limited and competitive. Get to the obbis fast, complete them, then spend the rest of your time farming Gold Bars.
The Money Event doesn’t pause tsunami waves. You still need to survive while collecting Gold Bars. The best approach is to run in loops between safe spots, picking up Gold Bars as you go. Use the trenches and gaps between zones to hide when waves approach. If you die, you lose time but not your collected Gold Bars (as long as you didn’t have them in your carry inventory Gold Bars collected during the event are saved to your account.
Don’t waste your best Brainrots on the ATM if you’re not sure what the Money mutation multiplier is worth to you. A solid strategy is to fuse 3 Rare or Epic Brainrots units that are plentiful and easy to grab during the event. The Money mutation on a Rare or Epic unit still provides a meaningful income boost without sacrificing your precious Secrets or Celestials.
If you happen to have Brainrots with existing mutations (like Emerald or Gold), the Spawn Machine’s fusion rules apply to the ATM as well: the output Brainrot gets the highest mutation multiplier from the three inputs. However, the ATM overrides this with the Money mutation. This means you should feed the ATM with unmutated units to avoid wasting existing mutations on the fusion.
The Money Event is far more likely to spawn during Admin Abuse sessions. If you want to experience it multiple times, schedule your play sessions around Admin Abuse events. Check the game’s official Discord for event schedules. Wave Wednesday (every Wednesday at 8:30 PM GMT) is also a great window.
This bears repeating: always finish your ATM fusion before the event ends. The 5-minute timer is your enemy here. If you start a fusion with 30 seconds left on the event clock, you’re taking a huge risk. Only use the ATM when you have plenty of time remaining.
I’ve seen a lot of players make the same mistakes during this event, so let me save you the frustration:
Mistake 1: Ignoring the obbis. Many players focus entirely on Gold Bar farming and skip the obstacle courses. This is a huge missed opportunity. Obbi’s are your best source of Money Lucky Blocks.
Mistake 2: Leaving Brainrots in the ATM too long. If the event ends while you have units inside the ATM, they’re gone forever. Always complete the fusion process quickly.
Mistake 3: Spending Gold Bars on single spins. One spin at a time wastes the psychological momentum. Save up 40–60 Gold Bars and spin in batches for a better experience and spread.
Mistake 4: Not upgrading speed before the event. If your character is slow, you’ll struggle to reach Gold Bars, complete obbis, and find the ATM in time. Make sure your speed upgrades are reasonably levelled before you try to grind the Money Event.
Mistake 5: Playing on a laggy server. With only 5 minutes to act, server lag can completely ruin your event run. If you notice lag, hop to a different server.
The Money Event isn’t just a fun one-off; it actually ties into the long-term money-making systems of Escape Tsunami for Brainrots in meaningful ways.
If you’re just starting out, the Money Event is an incredible opportunity to jump-start your base. Landing a Cosmic or Secret Brainrot from the Money Spin without having to grind deep into the map is a massive head start. Focus on spinning the Money Wheel and placing whatever you get into your base. Even a single Secret Brainrot from the spin can accelerate your early progression significantly.
At this stage, you’re probably already farming Secret and Celestial Brainrots regularly. The Money Event becomes valuable for two reasons: the Money mutation from the ATM adds a new income multiplier to your collection, and the chance at a Celestial Brainrot from the spin is essentially free. Use the ATM on your mid-tier units and keep your best earners safe.
For endgame players chasing leaderboard positions, the Money Event offers two key advantages. First, Grappelino D’Oro (0.06% from the Money Spin) is an ultra-rare unit you can’t get anywhere else. Second, the Money mutation gives you another tool in your mutation optimisation toolkit. At the highest levels of play, every mutation matters for squeezing out maximum income per second from your base.
The best money-making strategy in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots isn’t about lucky runs; it’s about building a system that generates income consistently. This means:
Understanding the rarity system helps you appreciate what you’re getting from Money Spin rewards. Here’s how the tiers stack up:
| Common | Very Low ($2–$15/s) | Very Easy | Not available |
| Uncommon | Low ($20–$120/s) | Easy | Not available |
| Rare | Moderate | Moderate | Not available |
| Epic | Good ($290–$1.4K/s) | Harder | Not available |
| Legendary | High | Difficult | Not available |
| Mythical | Very High | Very Difficult | Not available |
| Cosmic | Excellent | Hard | 62.2% |
| Secret | Outstanding | Very Hard | 27.7% |
| Celestial | Best Standard | Extremely Hard | 6.2% |
| Divine | Ultimate | Near-Impossible | Not available |
The Money Spin skips straight to Cosmic and above, which is why it’s such a powerful tool for progression. Getting a Secret or Celestial from a free spin is equivalent to dozens of successful runs into the deep zones.
Surviving tsunamis is just as important during the Money Event as at any other time. Here’s a quick rundown of the wave types you’ll face:
| Super Slow | Very Slow | Low | Great time to farm Gold Bars you have plenty of time to dodge |
| Slow | Slow | Low | Still manageable; use this wave to move between zones |
| Medium | Moderate | Medium | Start heading toward a safe spot when you see this one coming |
| Fast | Fast | High | Be near a trench or gap before this wave hits it moves quickly |
| Lightning | Instant | Very High | Almost no reaction time. Stay near safe spots during Lightning waves |
During the Money Event, the best strategy is to focus your Gold Bar farming during Super Slow and Slow tsunamis, when you have the most time to move around safely. When a Fast or Lightning tsunami approaches, get to a safe spot and wait it out rather than risking death and losing valuable time.
Knowing where to hide is critical during any event, and the Money Event is no exception. Here are the key survival mechanics:
The Money Event is a limited-time event that spawns randomly or during Admin Abuse. It lasts up to 5 minutes and introduces Gold Bars, the Money Spin wheel, Money Lucky Blocks, and the ATM fusion machine. The map turns white and gold, and coins rain from the sky during the event.
Gold Bars drop across all areas of the map when the Money Event is active. Simply run around and pick them up. You need 20 Gold Bars to spin the Money Wheel once. Gold Bars can only be collected during the Money Event; they don’t spawn at any other time.
The ATM spawns in a random location on the map each time the Money Event activates. There’s no fixed position; you need to explore the map to find it. It looks like a golden ATM machine and is only usable while the Money Event is live.
You will lose those Brainrots permanently. The ATM disappears when the event despawns, and any units inside it are gone forever. Always complete your fusion before the event timer runs out.
No. The Money Event spawns randomly or is triggered by admins during Admin Abuse events. There is no player-activated way to start it. Your best strategy is to play during Admin Abuse sessions for a higher chance of seeing it.
Grappelino D’Oro is the rarest reward at a 0.06% drop rate. It’s an ultra-rare, event-exclusive Brainrot that cannot be obtained any other way in the game.
There are three ways: complete obbies during the Money Event (best method, can earn up to 3 blocks), get lucky on the Money Spin (0.3% chance), or find one that randomly spawns on the map (very low chance).
The Money mutation is an exclusive mutation that can only be obtained through the ATM during the Money Event. It increases the earning rate of the Brainrot it’s applied to. It’s applied automatically when you fuse 3 Brainrots in the ATM.
Absolutely. The Money Spin has a 62.2% chance of giving you a Cosmic Brainrot and a 27.7% chance of a Secret Brainrot, both of which are incredible finds for early-game players. Even a single Secret Brainrot from the spin can massively accelerate your progression.
There’s no fixed schedule. It spawns randomly, but it appears more frequently during Admin Abuse events. Wave Wednesday (every Wednesday at 8:30 PM GMT) is a reliable weekly window to look for it.
The Money Event in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots is one of the game’s best limited-time events, and for good reason. It gives every player, beginner or veteran, a chance to grab rare Brainrots, earn a brand-new mutation, and progress faster than normal gameplay alone would allow. The key is preparation and speed: know where the obbies are, farm Gold Bars efficiently, find the ATM before time runs out, and don’t leave anything behind when the event ends.
Keep checking back for updates as the game evolves. Events in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots change frequently, and new mechanics can be added at any time. Make sure to bookmark this guide and follow the game’s official channels so you never miss a Money Event again.
Good luck out there, may your spins be lucky and your Gold Bars plentiful. 💰🌊
