We’ve got a mission for you — and it ends with a bang of color.

The Upper Westside’s newest attraction, Beat The Bomb, officially opened its doors on Thursday, Oct. 13, at 1483 Chattahoochee Avenue. Unlike anything you’ve experienced before, Beat The Bomb challenges groups of players with games that test their coordination and communication skills. Successfully navigating these missions earns the team more time for the final challenge: disarming a massive paint or foam bomb before time runs out, leaving the team drenched in literal splashes of color. Sounds messy? Don’t worry; you’ll be wearing protective hazmat suits, plus a helmet and face shield

There are two group experiences: Mission, described above, and Game Bay, a private immersive arcade lounge where you and your party can enjoy drinks, food and play from a mini-game library. You don’t need any experience for either; just show up, and guides will teach you everything you need to know.

“We have lasers. We have crazy special effects. We have colorful slushies at The Bomb Bar. What more could you ask for? While only 7% of teams Beat The Bomb on their first try, everyone is guaranteed to have a blast and come back for more. Start assembling your Bomb Squads, ATL!” CEO and Founder Alex Patterson said in a press release.
