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 — living our CORE values out loud. Bring the same energy, curiosity and first-principles thinking we run on at work — 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 we’ll watch it all back and crown the champions. It’s a friendly race against the clock — the team with the most validated points wins. Ready, set… go bond! 💙
📍 Base: Perdana KLCC (Jalan Binjai) — 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 randomised team of 5 — mixed across functions & cities, with one KL insider per team 🧭.
Work through the challenge cards — for each CORE one, pick ONE location option. Complete as many as you can before time’s up.
Film/photograph each challenge → upload to your team folder by 6 PM. Only uploads we can verify will score.
Entry tickets & your lunch are covered by the company — keep your receipts.
Plan your route (as a team!)
Stay together the whole time — no splitting up. Move as one team.
Each location shows which CORE values you can tick off — CORE — some cover more than one!
Getting around: walk the KLCC spots · LRT from Ampang Park for Chinatown · free Green Line bus for Bukit Bintang · Grab only for Lake Gardens.
See the area map + spot links at the bottom 🗺️.
⏰ Timeline (Wednesday)
1:00 PM — race begins! 🏁 (start from the hotel lobby)
🚗 E-hailing during the race (Grab · inDrive · AirAsia Move) is reimbursed too — keep every receipt.
📣 Team War-Cry
special bonus · 2 pts
Task: anytime during the race — (1) agree on a team name, (2) invent a 10-second war-cry (chant, cheer, or mini-song — 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 — Eat Together, Eat Local
1–2 pts
1 pt — eat together: lunch as a full team — evidence: a team photo at the table with the food served. 2 pts — make it Malaysian: the meal is a uniquely Malaysian dish — nasi lemak, char kway teow, banana-leaf rice, laksa… — evidence: the team photo plus a 10-sec clip naming the dish + your one-line verdict (rate it /10!). Lunch is on the company (~RM35 pp / reimburse on receipt). Extra love for the boldest order. 🌶️
C Curiosity
3–5 pts · unique pick = 5
Explore somewhere new — learn about KL’s art & culture.
Location — pick ONE
🖼️ ILHAM GalleryKLCC · next door!Ilham Tower, Jalan Binjai — 2-min walkFREE
🏛️ National Museum (Muzium Negara)Lake Gardens · GrabFEE RM5
Task
Find ONE artwork/exhibit that, to your team, represents Portcast or a CORE value — be ready to say why.
Ask a staff member or local for one interesting fact about it.
Or, another option: as a team, strike a pose recreating your favourite piece (“living museum”) and name the CORE value it channels.
Evidence — pick ONE
🎥 A video of your team explaining your choice + the fact you learned, or
📸 a photo of the piece with your whole team + a caption naming the CORE value, why, and the fact.
O Ownership
3–5 pts · unique pick = 5
Step up and own it — the moment, the mic, the mission. Leaders aren’t assigned; they volunteer.
Location — pick ONE (or spread it along your route)
🌳 KLCC Park & the Petronas esplanade — tourist central: photoshoots & guide intros galore KLCC · ~700 m walkFREE
🌉 Saloma Link — KL’s selfie hotspot = photoshoot goldmine KLCC · ~900 m walkFREE
🏘️ Kampung Baru — warung owners & aunties who’ll happily teach you Malay KLCC · just across the Saloma LinkFREE
🛍️ Petaling Street / Kwai Chai Hong — guides, phrases & lost tourists everywhere Chinatown · LRT from Ampang ParkFREE
Task — pick ONE
Be the guide: at 3 different stops, a different teammate owns the stop — walks the team in, gathers everyone, and delivers a confident 30-sec tour-guide intro (“welcome to MY city”: one real fact, one tip, full commitment). 3 stops, 3 different guides — no hiding behind the usual talkers.
OR Speak like a local: own the language barrier — learn 3 Bahasa Melayu phrases from a real local (not Google!), then put them to work in a genuine interaction: greet, order, thank. Terima kasih!
OR Make someone’s day: own a stranger’s memory — spot tourists wrestling with a selfie, step up and run a proper photoshoot for them: direct the framing, call the pose, nail the shot.
Evidence
Clips/photos of it actually happening (ask locals/strangers for their OK first): the 3 guide intros · the learn-it-then-use-it moments · or the photoshoot you ran. Bonus +1 pt for full main-character energy. 🎬
R Raise the Bar
3–5 pts · unique pick = 5
Be bold & do something uniquely Malaysian — get creative!
Location — pick ONE
🌉 Saloma Link bridge — synchronized team photo/dance, skyline behind KLCC · ~11-min walkFREE
🛍️ Petaling Street (Chinatown) — the haggle challengeChinatown · LRT from Ampang ParkFREE
🏬 Berjaya Times Square — top floors — haggle with the local vendors upstairs (floors 1–2 are mostly luxury brands — head UP!) Bukit Bintang/Imbi · Green Line bus + walk / GrabFREE
🎭 Kwai Chai Hong — recreate a scene at the heritage murals Chinatown · LRTFREE
🎬 REXKL — creative shot in the old-cinema arts space Chinatown · LRTFREE
Task — pick your dare
Haggle: at Petaling Street or Berjaya’s upper floors, pick a souvenir, set a target price as a team, and negotiate the vendor down — assign a lead negotiator, the rest are the hype squad.
OR Perform: a 15–30 sec skit, dance or synchronized routine on Saloma Link (skyline behind you), or recreate a famous movie scene at the Kwai Chai Hong murals — your pick, props encouraged.
OR Rally the crowd: invent a team signature pose, then charm at least 3 friendly strangers into joining it — teach them the pose, count down in Malay (“tiga, dua, satu!”), nail the shot. The more random the recruits, the better. 📸
Evidence
A video that captures the dare actually happening — the haggle (start price → final price!), the performance, or recruiting your strangers (teaching + countdown + the shot) — with the whole team in frame. Energy & creativity score higher than polish!

Capture the journey as you go (see evidence — this one’s a mini travel vlog!).
Evidence
📸 A team photo AT the landmark — whole team in frame (Petronas, Merdeka 118, KL Tower base, canopy bridge, lakeside skyline, aviary…), plus
🎬 a short ~30–45 sec “travel-vlog” edit of your team getting there: a clip heading out, a clip on the walk/train/bus, and the arrival reveal. A quick phone/CapCut edit is perfect — most points for the best mini-journey.
🍧 Bonus — “Jom Rasa!” · Taste Something New
1 point
Anytime along the way — a snack pit-stop, separate from lunch: pull up at a hawker stall, mamak or kopitiam and try something someone on the team has never eaten before: ais kacang 🍧 · satay 🍢 · roti canai 🥐 · teh tarik 🧋 · cendol / kuih. Jom rasa = “let’s taste!” Evidence: a clip of the first-timer(s) trying it + describe the taste and why you picked it. 😄

⭐ Bonus
2 points
Anytime, collect “uniquely KL” moments — e.g. a friendly cat 🐈 · a cool mural 🎨 · a funny sign or shop name 🪧 · the monorail threading between towers 🚝 · a heritage shophouse dwarfed by skyscrapers 🏙️. Evidence: upload a separate photo for each moment you’re claiming (one photo = one moment, so we can verify) and list them in the caption. 1 pt for 3+ moments · 2 pts for 5+.

🎯 Uniqueness scoring (CORE challenges): from your uploads we count how many teams completed the same CORE value at the same location — only your team there: 5 pts · 2–3 teams: 4 pts · 4–6 teams: 3 pts. Spreading out pays!
Most validated points wins. Winners revealed live at dinner while we play the videos — cheer for your favourites! 🎉
