Leave Your Comfort Zone at the Door: Atlanta’s Best Team Outings for Groups Who Like to Win

Forget the boring happy hour.

Atlanta’s offsite scene has leveled up. The city’s most competitive teams are suiting up in hazmat gear, sliding stones across ice, and white-knuckling Formula 1 simulators instead.

Whether your team’s rivalry lives in the Slack channels or the quarterly sales rankings, Atlanta has no shortage of ways to channel that competitive energy into something a little more fun and memorable.

From hazmat suits to curling stones, these Atlanta venues were built for teams that play to win
