Challenge 1: Pitch Perfect

Meet the Level Up 16 Scholars. In a test of their public speaking, goal-setting and self-confidence, Personal Pitch challenges each scholar to craft and deliver a :30 second pitch to our prominent board members as to why they belong on The Level UpExperiment.

12 remaining Level Up scholars are split up into teams and placed into time-sensitive scenarios where they must work together, leveraging each other's strengths to solve complex puzzles, while becoming the first to free themselves from Big Escape Atlanta.

Business owners are challenged daily to seek out every possible resource to make their endeavors a success. In a challenge of creative thinking, flexibility and task delegation, Challenge 3 finds our remaining 10 challengers scouring business throughout the Castleberry Hill district of Atlanta to find and solve clues, keeping their teams safe from elimination.

Successful business owners know how to create a story behind the brand and position themselves in the marketplace. Visual artists are the perfect metaphor for that process and at the BUCKHEAD ART & COMPANY gallery, 8 scholars had the opportunity to partner with prominent artists, learn how to express their own stories through art, and put on a gallery exhibition to pitch their works to the public.
