The Moneyverse 2025: Memorable Steps for the Top Financial Game Show

VTV.vn - Reality show challenge, AI judges, more than 32,000 students competing - The Moneyverse has broken all traditional financial education game show stereotypes.

Entering its second season, The Moneyverse 2025 continues to affirm its appeal as a leading financial education program for Vietnamese students. The program attracts a large audience: nearly 250,000 followers on social networks (Facebook, TikTok, YouTube), about 130 million multi-platform views, more than 300 million views of program videos, and 2 million interactions on official media channels.

With the theme "Digital Galaxy", the program is closely linked to the digital transformation trend and the Government's orientation of Digital Literacy. This year, the program has doubled in size with 54 participating universities/academies, diverse groups of majors (Police, Public Security, Architecture,... in addition to the group of Economics - Finance schools), and a group of unique contestants from 3 regions across the country.

Entering season 2, Money Universe has made many new advances in the approach and transmission of personal finance knowledge. Right from the Quarterfinals, the contestants had to face in-depth case solutions, revolving around practical issues such as spending, investing and mastering money - content that only appeared in the Semifinals of the first season. This is considered an important upgrade in the content structure, demonstrating the program's orientation to increase the academic depth.

Highly applicable case study content is incorporated from the first rounds of the program.

The highlight of this round is the Responsibility Star (NSTT) item, honoring the spirit of sharing with society in every financial decision. InfoRE - a pioneer in implementing the "Binh Dan Hoc AI" campaign in Vietnam - has awarded 4,000 AI scholarships with a total value of 8 billion VND to 4 schools that own NSTT but have not yet activated it, contributing to empowering Vietnamese students to enter the era of artificial intelligence and smart finance - where technology and people together create the future. ADT Global brought a 100% "made in Vietnam" virtual reality (VR) solution to the Data Hunter competition, helping contestants and audiences experience a vivid simulation space, increasing the visualization and connection between knowledge and reality.

In the semi-finals, the program is built in a reality show format with real-life situations. Each round is a different challenge: from livestreaming to selling agricultural products on TikTok Shop, the challenge of opening a bank card at Aeon Mall or implementing a Thong Nhat bicycle business campaign to generate real revenue. At this stage, the contestants not only compete based on knowledge and professional skills but also need to promote creativity, the ability to understand the market and respond flexibly to change - essential qualities of the young generation in the digital economy.

Along with the content, the program has invested heavily in audience experience. The program is broadcast periodically on TV360 - Viettel Telecom's digital television platform, contributing to expanding the program's reach to 16 million viewers. In particular, the transparent and public voting mechanism allows the audience to easily participate in voting, as well as follow the results that are updated continuously every week. There have been more than 1,100,000 votes from TV360 audiences, with the final result of more than 400,000 votes for Nguyen Minh Hieu (University of Commerce) to advance to the Finals.

Not stopping there, the on-ground Money Day series of activities was held exclusively for the 10 schools with the top 10 best candidates currently studying. Since then, tens of thousands of students have had the opportunity to meet experts from many fields, participate in talk shows and experience simulation tournaments.

In particular, the Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development BIDV not only sent experts to participate in the Professional Council but also awarded scholarships worth 200 million VND to 10 schools to encourage the learning spirit of astronauts, with a total value of 2 billion VND. In addition, the Top 10 excellent candidates also received internship and job opportunities at BIDV - the leading commercial bank in Vietnam - opening a new journey for the young generation to continue to conquer.

The Moneyverse 2025 final will be a competition between 6 excellent contestants: Pham Thi Mai Huong (Maritime University), Dao Thi Linh (Hanoi University of Architecture), Dau Xuan Huan (Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance), Hoang Duc Ton (Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology), Bui Linh Chi (Academy of Finance) and Nguyen Minh Hieu (University of Commerce). The final match was recorded at the Vietnam Space Museum and the National Innovation Center (NIC), on an Escape Room model with 5 rooms, corresponding to 5 planets: Earn - Spend - Save - Invest - Preserve. Designed according to the principles of gamification combined with education, each space is not only a challenge for intelligence and reflexes but also requires the ability to strategize and make quick decisions - essential skills for a financial master. In particular, the opening round - Quiz at Accumulated Planet - will witness a confrontation between 6 contestants and 1,000 audiences present at the studio. This is not only a knockout round for 1 contestant but also an opportunity for the best audience to win the prize of iPhone 17 1TB.

The contest marks the first time in the history of Vietnamese game shows that contestants will directly face Multi-Agent AI (Autonomous AI Assistant) - an artificial intelligence judge - in the final round of Planet Tieu. Multi-Agent AI is a platform that gathers many autonomous AI assistants, each agent takes on a specialized role from data collection, analysis, simulation to making recommendations, all operating in a unified architecture. The Multi-Agent AI system used in the program has been demonstrated at the National Achievement Exhibition and several other national exhibitions. The top 2 best astronauts must directly interact and conquer challenges from this Autonomous AI Assistant system to win the title of Champion of the 2025 Coin Universe.

For the first time, Multi-Agent AI became a judge on a financial education game show.

The winner will not only receive a prize of 1 billion VND but also have the opportunity to intern and have a career at Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development BIDV, a set of high-end gemstone jewelry from Huy Thanh Jewelry, a scholarship worth more than 8,000 USD from CPA Australia, an IELTS scholarship from Alibaba English Center. In particular, this year the program has expanded the internship opportunity at BIDV for the top 10 Semi-finalists (instead of only the top 6 Finalists like the first season), creating conditions for more young talents to access a professional environment.
