Throwback has produced team building activities and corporate field days across Atlanta since 2014 — from intimate offsites to 400-person summer parties. Our core format is the field day: outdoor, nostalgia-driven, and built so every person on the team is playing, not watching.
Trusted for Team Building Across Atlanta
Companies like Home Depot, Google, and EY have trusted Throwback for team building activities and corporate field days across Atlanta. Whether your team is planning a summer outing, an offsite, or an end-of-year celebration, you’re in the right place.
We’ve run team building activities for tech, finance, and logistics teams across Atlanta — each with different priorities, headcounts, and expectations. We’ve built our field day and color war formats around handling that range well.

Built for How Atlanta Actually Runs Events
Venue Knowledge
We’ve run field days at Piedmont Park, Centennial Olympic Park, and the Historic Fourth Ward, so we know the permit process, the weather windows, and the logistics of moving a group from a Midtown or Buckhead office to a park venue. Most outdoor group activities in Atlanta’s city parks require a permit, and we plan two to four weeks ahead as a standard part of how we book events.
For indoor color war events, we partner with venues like Tyrone Depot, indoor soccer facilities and other event spaces across the city, so a summer heat wave (or a booking in the cooler months) doesn’t mean scaling back the format. The same game stations and staffing run indoors, which is how we keep field days available year-round.
Atlanta Corporate Culture
Atlanta’s corporate landscape spans established finance, logistics, and Fortune 500 headquarters downtown and in Midtown, a fast-growing tech corridor in Alpharetta and Buckhead, and a major film and production industry across the metro area. When we’re planning a team building event in Atlanta, we’re thinking about that range. A 40-person fintech team in Midtown has different needs than a 300-person logistics company offsite, and building a format that scales either way.
Seasonality
Atlanta has a real outdoor event season. Spring (April–May) and fall (September-October) are the windows when most of our Atlanta clients book, since the heat and humidity from June through August make all-day outdoor play tougher. For events booked in peak summer or the colder months, we move the same format into one of our indoor venue partners rather than turning clients away.
Beyond Atlanta
Most of our Atlanta events run in Midtown, Buckhead, and Old Fourth Ward, but we regularly travel for clients in Decatur, Smyrna, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, and Dunwoody. If your office is outside the city core, you’re still in our service area — just flag the location when you request a quote so we can plan logistics accordingly.
What a Throwback Field Day Looks Like
A typical Throwback field day runs 90–120 minutes, with 6–8 simultaneous game stations rotating every 10–12 minutes. No waiting in line, no dead time. We handle setup, staffing, scoring, and breakdown — you show up.
Compare that to a typical happy hour: people drift toward the two or three coworkers they already talk to every day, and the rest of the room stays exactly as separate as it was at the office. Our game format doesn’t leave that option open — you’re teamed up with people you don’t normally sit near, and you stay teamed up with them for the next ten minutes. The mixing isn’t a bonus side effect; it’s built into how the games are structured.
A Few of Our Games
Your day includes the field day classics you remember — egg & spoon race, tug-o-war, relay races — alongside games you won’t find anywhere else. Battlechips turns protecting your own marker into a tactical showdown. Paradise Ball tests throwing and catching as teams race to get every teammate to safety. Pong Feud mashes up beer pong with Family Feud for a trivia twist. Whether your group wants to break a sweat or flex their brains, our game library spans the full range — from high-energy challenges like Capture the Flag to low-key, strategy-driven games like Field Suko. We work with you to curate the right mix for your group’s energy, space, and goals, rather than handing you a one-size-fits-all script.
We bring 15+ proprietary games to every event, including:
Tug of War — the classic, run at scale with bracketed team rounds
Pong Feud — Family Feud meets beer pong; teams debate the most popular answer before the throw
Eight-Legged Race — a team-coordination twist on the classic relay
Teamshot — teams launch velcro balls from a giant three-person slingshot at a moving bullseye

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a team building event in Atlanta?
Most of our Atlanta clients book 3-6 weeks ahead during peak season (April-May and September-October). Park permits and venue availability are the main drivers. The earlier you lock in a date, the more venue options you’ll have.
What’s the minimum and maximum group size?
We’ve run field days from 20-person offsites to 500-person summer parties. Our game format and staffing scale with your headcount.
Do you handle permits for Atlanta parks?
Yes. We manage the permit process for the venues we work with regularly, including Piedmont Park and Centennial Olympic Park.
Can events run in Piedmont Park or other major Atlanta parks?
Yes! We’ve run events at Piedmont Park and can scout other park options depending on your group size and date.
What happens if it’s too hot or it rains?
We build a weather contingency into every outdoor booking, including indoor backup options and flexible rescheduling where possible. Useful given Atlanta’s hot, humid summers.
Looking for team building ideas in Atlanta beyond a field day?
Field day is our core format, but we also run color war and scavenger hunt versions of the same proprietary games. If you want variety across multiple team building events in Atlanta throughout the year, you’ve come to the right place.
