Black and gold spirit
Show your Pittsburgh spirit. Find someone wearing Steelers, Penguins or Pirates gear (or grab a black-and-gold towel from a shop) and take a squad photo with the whole team waving the colours.
Boardroom: Point State Park
Today's boardroom is outdoors. Navigate to Point State Park at the western tip of downtown and check in at the central fountain.
Local Pittsburgher tip
Convince a local Pittsburgh resident to share a tip about the city. Take a photo with your impromptu guide and remember the tip. Bonus points if they say "yinz".
Mount Washington skyline shot
Ride (or drive up to) Mount Washington and find the Grandview Avenue overlooks. Take a squad photo with the full Pittsburgh skyline and the rivers spread out behind the team. This is the postcard shot of the city and the cover photo for your offsite recap.
Offsite: Andy Warhol Museum
Cross the Allegheny to the North Side and check in at the Andy Warhol Museum on Sandusky Street.
Offsite: Duquesne Incline
Cross the Fort Pitt Bridge to the South Side and check in at the lower station of the Duquesne Incline on Carson Street.
Pittsburgh team finale
Final challenge. Find a beautiful Pittsburgh spot (a yellow bridge at sunset, the skyline from Mount Washington, the rivers from the Strip) and take an amazing closing squad photo. Cheers from the Steel City, well done team!
Pittsburgh team kick-off
The team outing begins! Find a classic Pittsburgh backdrop (a yellow bridge, a riverside cobblestone, a black-and-gold storefront) and take a squad photo with everyone in shot, jumping in the air at the same time. Time the jump well, otherwise the photo does not count.
Primanti Bros squad lunch
The original Primanti Bros on 18th Street invented the Pittsburgh sandwich: meat, slaw and fries piled inside the bread. Order a round to share, take a squad photo with everyone taking the first bite at the same time, and remember which sandwich the loudest teammate ordered.
Strip District market shop
The Strip is full of family-run shops: Wholey's fish market, Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., Stamoolis Brothers. Step into one and take a squad photo with the team holding a Pittsburgh classic (pierogi, a tin of pasta, a smoked fish).
Three rivers squad shot
The fountain at Point State Park marks the spot where the Allegheny and Monongahela join to form the Ohio. Take a squad photo with the fountain behind the team and both rivers visible at the edges of the frame.
Town hall: Market Square
Cross back to downtown and check in at Market Square between Forbes and Fifth Avenue for the team town hall.

Warhol team portrait
The Andy Warhol Museum is dedicated to Pittsburgh's most famous son. Find a pop-art backdrop (the museum facade, the Campbell's soup cans, the Marilyn prints inside) and take a squad photo where the team strikes a Warhol-style deadpan pose. This is the photo for the office wall.
Working lunch: Strip District
Walk or rideshare north along the Allegheny to the Strip District and check in around Penn Avenue between 17th and 22nd Streets.
Yellow bridge silhouette
