Ranger Buddies have partnered with Lendlease to launch a series of missions around the world at PLQ Parkside every quarter till the end of 2026. We headed down for the first mission - 'Trouble in Everest'. Coincidentally, I had a Carousell deal at PLQ, which is perfect since we were already in the area. After the Carousell deal, we started our mission.
This mission combines physical and digital elements, we received our mission by scanning a QR code at the Ranger Buddies treehouse mailbox. Then, armed with our phones and AR, we 'traveled' to the Himalayas via this teleport point.
After entering, there were four mission activities to be completed: simple obstacle courses, AR games and quizzes. It's a self-paced experience that allows the kids to complete the tasks at their own time. Parents can supervise younger kids, while older kids can easily complete the missions independently.
We completed the missions and headed to Jimmy Monkey Cafe to redeem the mission badge. Being a Lendlease member, we also redeem a $5 Lendlease E-voucher with a minimum spend of $20 nett at PLQ Parkside F&B outlets. (First 1,000 redemptions)
We also get to redeem a complimentary kids meal (choose from the menu) worth $10 at Jimmy Monkey, so we decided to have lunch there. My girl picked the Ham and Cheese Grill - Buttered brioche, mozzarella and honey ham. The outdoor seating area was pleasant, and they provided kids with a colouring sheet. Upon completion, kids could redeem a free babyccino.
Hubby ordered the Crispy Pork Belly ($12) which was served in a very good chilli dip.
For myself, I had the Ragin' Cajun Chicken Bowl ($20) - Grilled chicken thigh with cajun dressing, red peppers, olive tapenade, cherry tomatoes with onsen egg served with quinoa. Went back home after this hearty meal!
