Activity 1

Bangkok Outage Rush

Teams face a simulated payment API outage right as Bangkok’s morning markets open. Each group receives a buggy code snippet and has 12 minutes to debug it using Cursor. At the 6-minute mark, a surprise twist requires teams to swap codebases with another group and finish fixing their competitor’s bugs. The team that restores the most endpoints wins, and extra points are given for clever or unconventional solutions.

Why this works

It’s intensely memorable because the urgent story, real code handoff, and dramatic swap push people out of their comfort zone. Friendly competition and the local ‘market chaos’ theme make it fun and sticky.

Café Refactor Speedrun

Everyone gets a messy, repetitive code sample from a fictional café’s order system. First, they have 5 minutes to refactor manually. Then, with Cursor, they get one prompt to automate the refactor. After both rounds, the group votes on the cleanest code and the cleverest Cursor usage. This head-to-head format lets attendees see real productivity gains and share quick refactor tricks.

Why this works

Side-by-side comparison makes Cursor’s value tangible—people remember what they saw their peers achieve live.

Cursor Mythbusters: Bangkok Edition

Hosts collect spicy local developer myths before the event—like ‘Cursor can’t handle Thai Unicode bugs’ or ‘It always misses async edge cases.’ For each myth, the crowd predicts if Cursor will succeed or fail, then the host runs a live test and reveals the outcome. The group’s reactions and the host’s commentary turn each myth into a memorable learning moment.

Why this works

Committing to a prediction makes the final result stick, and the live uncertainty keeps everyone engaged. Hosts get to look smart while tackling real developer concerns.
