Singapore’s First Legacy Planning Game Championship to Launch in November

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 3 November 2023 - Immortalize, Singapore's most comprehensive elderhood marketplace and information provider, is pleased to announce the start of a nationwide competition for Will of Fortune by Immortalize ("WOFI"), an immersive strategy card game that aims to break down the taboo surrounding legacy planning.

The competitions are organized in conjunction with supporters like Metis Global (Singapore) Pte. Limited., and Huttons Asia Pte Ltd.

WOFI was launched earlier in June this year and uses fun, engaging and repeatedly playable content to help people learn about the tools and professionals involved in planning for one's legacy. To further encourage conversations on this critical but often neglected topic, Immortalize will be holding WOFI Championship tryouts and competitions across the island nation to spur discussions on the importance of legacy planning.

The WOFI Championship is divided into three sub-categories:

  1. General Championship - Open to Singaporeans and foreigners of all ages;
  2. Finance Professionals League – Open to all financial advisors, wealth managers, traders, investment bankers and other professionals in the finance industry; and
  3. Tertiary Education League - Open to all University, Polytechnic and other students undergoing tertiary education.
Winners of the sub-categories will proceed to compete in the WOFI Championship Grand Final where they will vie for the Legacy Grandmaster title. Over SG$10,000 worth of cash, prizes and/or gifts await winners and participants of the WOFI Championships and tryouts.

Metis Global (Singapore) Pte. Limited., a licensed trust company in Singapore, and Huttons Asia Pte Ltd, Singapore's largest private real estate agency, are the main supporters of the WOFI Championship. Bequest Private Limited, an estate planning firm, is a supporter of the WOFI Championship – Tertiary Education League.

Interested parties can try out the WOFI game at every Immortalize Elderhood Planning Fair, starting from November 10, 2023.
