One afternoon. The whole city as our playground. Get out from behind the screens, team up with people you donβt usually work with, and take on KL together β living our CORE values out loud. Bring the same energy, curiosity and first-principles thinking we run on at work β now let loose on a whole city. Plan your route, refuel together, rack up points, and film the madness. Tonight at our last-night dinner weβll watch it all back and crown the champions. Itβs a friendly race against the clock β the team with the most validated points wins. Ready, setβ¦ go bond! π
π Base: Perdana KLCC (Jalan Binjai) β our hotel. Youβre in the heart of the KLCC cluster: ILHAM Gallery is literally next door, KLCC Park & Suria are a ~10-min walk, and Ampang Park LRT (~5-min walk) takes you straight to Chinatown. The free GOKL Green Line bus also loops KLCC β Bukit Bintang with a stop near the hotel.
How it works
Youβre in a randomised team of 5 β mixed across functions & cities, with one KL insider per team π§.
Work through the challenge cards β for each CORE one, pick ONE location option. Complete as many as you can before timeβs up.
Film/photograph each challenge β upload to your team folder by 6 PM. Only uploads we can verify will score.
Entry tickets & your lunch are covered by the company β keep your receipts.
Plan your route (as a team!)
Stay together the whole time β no splitting up. Move as one team.
Each location shows which CORE values you can tick off β CORE β some cover more than one!
Getting around: walk the KLCC spots Β· LRT from Ampang Park for Chinatown Β· free Green Line bus for Bukit Bintang Β· Grab only for Lake Gardens.
See the area map + spot links at the bottom πΊοΈ.
