🏁 The Portcast Amazing Race β€” KL Edition

One afternoon. The whole city as our playground. Get out from behind the screens, team up with people you don’t usually work with, and take on KL together β€” through our CORE values. Plan your route, refuel together, rack up points, and film the madness. Tonight at our last-night dinner we’ll watch it all back and crown the champions. It’s a friendly race against the clock β€” the team with the most validated points wins. Ready, set… go bond! πŸ’™

πŸ“ Base: Perdana KLCC (Jalan Binjai) β€” our hotel. You’re 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 ↔ Bukit Bintang with a stop near the hotel.

How it works

  • You’re in a pre-assigned team of 5–6 (mixed across teams & cities!).
  • Work through the challenge cards β€” for each CORE one, pick ONE location option. Complete as many as you can before time’s 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 πŸ—ΊοΈ.

⚠️ Ground rules

  • Stay together as a team & share your live location with each other.
  • Keep your phone charged & stay hydrated πŸ’§.

🎯 The Challenges

πŸ’‘ The coloured tag shows each spot’s area. Watch for spots that cover more than one CORE value. Plan a smart route & stay together.

πŸ“£ Team War-Cry

special bonus Β· 2 pts
Task: anytime during the race β€” (1) agree on a team name, (2) invent a 10-second war-cry (chant, cheer, or mini-song β€” bonus if it sneaks in a Portcast or KL reference), (3) film it in one take with everyone on camera. Loud, silly, proud!
Evidence: one 10-sec clip, whole team in frame, team name said out loud.

🍜 Lunch Challenge β€” Eat Local

special bonus Β· 2 pts
Task: over lunch, hunt down a uniquely Malaysian dish your team hasn’t tried β€” nasi lemak, char kway teow, banana-leaf rice, laksa, roti canai, satay… the more local & adventurous, the better! Order it and eat it together.
Evidence: (1) a team photo mid-bite with the dish clearly visible, (2) a 10-sec clip naming the dish + your team’s one-line verdict (rate it /10!). Lunch is on the company (~RM30 pp / reimburse on receipt). Extra love for the boldest order. 🌢️
