12 team building activities in Charlotte, NC
We have run each of these for a Charlotte group, and every card names the hotel or venue and the size of the team.
1. Bike Build Donation
Short challenges earn the parts, teams assemble the bikes, and kids from a local club ride them away. A chemicals company of 100 built them at The Ballantyne, and an automotive team of 34 did it at the Charlotte Marriott City Center in October 2025 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Carolina.
2. Go-Kart Competition
Each team is a pit crew that designs and builds its own self-powered kart, then races it against the others for the finish line. A group of 100 raced at The Ballantyne in south Charlotte in May 2026.
3. A Minute 2 Win It!
Sixty-second stunts with cups, cookies and ping-pong balls, called by a host with music and a scoreboard. A financial services team of 110 played it at Legion Brewing SouthPark in May 2026.
4. Mini-golf build with a food donation
Teams build themed holes out of canned and boxed food, play a scored round on the finished course, and then the food is donated. A manufacturing group of 75 set up their course at The Westin Charlotte in January 2023.
5. City SmartHunt in Uptown
Teams follow clues on iPads through the streets around their hotel, answer trivia and shoot photo challenges, and watch the standings move on a live scoreboard. A group of 140 set off from the JW Marriott Charlotte in Uptown in April 2022.
6. Project Alzheimer's
Teams put together activity kits for people with memory loss and learn how caregivers use them. A banking group of 60 built theirs at The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte on East Trade Street, and the kits went to PACE of the Southern Piedmont.
7. Donation Nation Care Packs
Games and puzzles earn the supplies, and teams pack care packages for a community agency. A technology team of 90 packed theirs at The Ballantyne for the American Red Cross in Charlotte.
8. Bridge to the Future
Teams build sections of a cardboard and duct tape bridge apart from each other, then join them into one span strong enough to hold the group. A meeting of 115 built it at the Renaissance Charlotte SouthPark Hotel in August 2016.
9. Competition to Collaboration
Two halves of the room compete to beat each other's scores until a twist shows they do better sharing what works. A manufacturing meeting of 200 went through it at the Hilton Charlotte Airport.
10. Trivia Blast Live!
A host runs a produced trivia show with answer pads, music and movie rounds and a live leaderboard. A food and beverage team of 70 played at the Hilton Charlotte University Place in July 2016.
11. Chocolate Architect
Teams win candy and chocolate in iPad challenges, then build a themed structure out of it and show it off. A healthcare team of 15 built theirs at the Hyatt Centric Charlotte SouthPark in December 2022.
12. Best Corporate Feud
Survey-style rounds with buzzers and team captains, hosted like the TV show. A manufacturing team of 20 played it at the Harris Conference Center in December 2022.

How it works with us here
Charlotte bookings split between Uptown hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton, the JW Marriott and the Westin, the SouthPark hotels, and The Ballantyne in the south of the city. Banking, financial services, manufacturing and automotive teams make up much of our work here. Charity builds lead, and the donations have gone to groups such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Carolina and A Child's Place.

Getting there
Charlotte Douglas International Airport has nonstop flights to more than 190 destinations. In town, the LYNX Blue Line light rail runs from UNC Charlotte Main through Uptown and South End to I-485/South Boulevard, and the Gold Line streetcar crosses Center City from the Historic West End to the Elizabeth neighborhood, fare-free for now.
Picking the right size of room
For 100 or more, The Ballantyne has about 30,000 square feet of meeting space plus The Lodge, a separate 10,000 square foot building, which is room enough for a go-kart track or a bike build. A team of 15 to 30 fits a SouthPark hotel meeting room for Chocolate Architect or a game show.
