Play for Life: Sun Life marks Financial Independence Month with announcement of new game and more activities

　　MANILA, PH – June 2024 – What if you could take your financial journey for a test drive? That’s  exactly what you can do with Sun Life’s upcoming game, Play for Life: A Game of Choices, which  is set to launch in June 2024. This Financial Independence Month, Sun Life is launching engaging  activities that will foster financial literacy among Filipinos through gamification elements. 

　　Embark on Your Financial Journey with Play for Life 

　　Play for Life is a free, single-player online game that mirrors the financial decisions one  encounters in real life. The objective of the game is to achieve your chosen life goals through  strategic financial and life decisions while navigating the ups and downs. 

　　At the beginning of the game, players define their life goals and select a character representing a career. Gameplay revolves around dice rolls, guiding pieces across the board to squares that  correspond with the dice outcome. The board features spaces that offer life-enhancing  opportunities ('Life Wins')， present challenges ('Life Happens')， or require critical financial  decisions ('Life Choices')， allowing players to use their accumulated funds strategically. 

　　You win the game once you have accumulated enough play money to achieve your life goal. The  journey involves managing both positive and adverse circumstances, reflecting the essence of  life's financial planning and decision-making.  

　　Step into the World of Play for Life 

　　For a more immersive experience, there will be a roving life-size version of Play for Life in select  areas around the country. Navigate giant game boards and make real-life choices at SM  Megamall from June 22 to 23, 2024, SM Sta Rosa from July 27 to 28, 2024, SM Lanang in August  2024, SM Iloilo from September 14 to 15, 2024, and SM Pampanga from October 26 to 27, 2024. To engage the mobile gaming community, the initial launch of the life-size version of Play for  Life will be in partnership with Talon Esports, a leading esports and gaming organization. There  will also be table-top boardgame versions of Play for Life, where you can play with friends,  family, and even Sun Life financial advisors.
