The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) co-organized the Master Protect & Wealth Board Game Hackathon 2026. During the event, Miss Sarica Apiwatthakakul, Director of the Capital Market Education Department of the SEC, joined a panel discussion entitled “Building Financial Resilience alongside Wealth Creation: Essential Skills for Modern Thais.” She shared insights to support the development of board game prototypes that incorporate concepts of insurance, saving, and investment. She also served as a mentor and a member of the judging panel for the competition.

The event was jointly organized by the SEC, the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC), the Bank of Thailand (BOT), the Institute of Board Game for Learning, and the Thailand Board Game Association at Royal River Hotel, Bangkok, on 18–19 July 2026.

The winning entry was Critter Tradewinds by Team Try Two Tiles, selected from among the 20 finalists. The board game successfully integrates knowledge of insurance, saving, and investment through engaging and easy-to-understand gameplay, with the potential for further development as a learning tool for the public.
