Atlanta Scavenger Hunt: Centennial Olympic Park game tour

Clues, challenges and local history across Olympic monuments, the CNN building and World of Coca-Cola

A scavenger hunt adventure in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park and surrounding area where teams of 2–5 people solve clues and complete challenges guided by a smartphone app over approximately 2 hours. You choose when to start and how fast to move through the course, which covers about 1.5 miles and passes Olympic monuments, the CNN building and the World of Coca-Cola while teaching local history. A minimum of 2 people per team is required, and you'll need a US cellular data plan on your phone to play.

The experience

This is a self-paced game, not a guided walk. Your smartphone becomes the guide. It tells you where to go, what to look for, and what challenge to solve at each stop. You and your team decide when to start, how long to linger at any point, and whether to pause for a slice of peach pie or sweet tea along the way. The route is designed to move you through well-known Olympic sites and overlooked corners of the area, mixing the monuments you'd expect with discoveries most visitors miss.

The course covers roughly 1.5 miles on foot and takes about 2 hours from start to finish, though that depends entirely on how quickly your team solves the clues and tackles the challenges. You'll pass through Centennial Olympic Park itself, move through the CNN building, and head down toward the World of Coca-Cola. The smartphone app handles all the navigation and keeps score as you go, so there's no separate guide to follow and no fixed meeting times to keep.

Teams must be between 2 and 5 people, and everyone on the team needs to be comfortable walking the distance. The route is wheelchair accessible and strollers work fine if you're traveling with infants or small children. You'll need an active US cellular data plan to download and run the app on your phone. That's the only real requirement beyond showing up ready to play.

Is this one for you?Two hours is short enough to fit into a morning or afternoon without blocking the rest of your day, and because you control the pace, you can stretch it longer if you want to explore the area more or cut it short if your team solves the clues quickly. This works best for groups who like puzzles and competition and want to learn Atlanta's layout while playing a game instead of following a guide.

Top questions

What exactly do we do on this scavenger hunt in Atlanta?

Your team follows clues sent to your smartphone, solves puzzles at each location, and completes challenges as you move through Centennial Olympic Park and the surrounding area. The app guides you to each stop and tells you what to look for and what to do when you get there.

Can we take breaks during the 2-hour scavenger hunt?

Yes, because you control the pace, you can stop whenever you want. If you want to grab food, rest, or just spend extra time at a particular spot, the timer doesn't matter. The 2 hours is the typical time to complete the full route, but it's up to your team.

How far do we walk on this tour?

The course covers approximately 1.5 miles on foot. The route moves through Centennial Olympic Park, the CNN building, and down toward the World of Coca-Cola, mixing major landmarks with smaller sites most visitors don't find on their own.

What do we need to bring to play the scavenger hunt?

You need a smartphone with an active US cellular data plan so the app can guide you and track your progress. Everything else (the clues, the challenges, the scoring) comes through the app once you start.

Is this scavenger hunt accessible for people with mobility issues or young children?

The route is wheelchair accessible, and infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Service animals are allowed. You should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness to complete the 1.5-mile walk, and the activity operates in all weather, so dress accordingly.
