More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out onto a downtown sidewalk with your team, phones in hand, as brisk air pushes against holiday lights strung along storefronts. The app pings, a clue appears, and suddenly ordinary corners—the brick of a historic building, an ornate lamppost—become objectives in a city-sized game. The Holly Jolly Hunt turns Atlanta’s streets into a timed, photo-driven scavenger course where humor and observation score as much as speed.
