Invite Japan is a bilingual team building company based in Tokyo.
Since 2015, we have helped over 1,000 teams across Japan improve communication, trust, and collaboration through puzzle-based games, workshops, and outdoor adventures.
We serve local and global organizations, including Google, Adobe, Amazon, Nike, and LVMH, as well as schools and municipalities.
Our mission is to make teamwork inclusive, engaging, and measurable.
We design activities that cross language, cultural, and physical barriers.
By combining puzzles, storytelling, and game-based learning, we make teamwork practical and memorable.
We constantly update our team buliding programs to fit new ways of working, including hybrid and remote teams.
These values guide how we design every game and how we collaborate with clients.
Invite Japan began in 2015 when Atsuko Otsuki opened an escape room in Asakusa (Nazobako Tokyo) with a simple yet powerful idea—bring people together through puzzles and shared experiences. What started as a space for fun and mystery soon grew into something much bigger.
As teams collaborated, communicated, and strengthened their bonds while solving puzzles, we realized the true potential of our games. Escape rooms were more than just entertainment; they were a tool for building stronger teams. This insight led us to expand beyond our original space, evolving Invite Japan into a company dedicated to designing innovative puzzle-based team building activities and workshops for organizations, companies, and schools across Japan.
Then came the pandemic—a challenge that reshaped the way teams connected. In response, Invite Japan adapted once again. We shifted from escape rooms to new interactive experiences, including online programs, dispatch-style indoor puzzle games, and outdoor scavenger hunts. No matter the circumstances, we remained committed to helping teams engage, collaborate, and grow.
Through every transformation, our mission has stayed the same: to bring people together through puzzles, fun, and laughter. As we continue to push the boundaries of what team building can be, Invite Japan remains dedicated to delivering high-quality experiences that create lasting connections and unforgettable moments.
We want to build an experience where EVERYONE–Japanese and non-Japanese, male and female, old and young–can overcome these artificial boundaries in order to work, learn, and have fun together!
Look, touch, feel, think, and take action.
At Invite Japan, we believe that real experiences spark real connections. Genuine human emotions are born from hands-on engagement, and these moments become lifelong memories.
Our dedicated team of creators, planners, and innovators design unique team-building experiences based on the Five Live Experiences—immersive activities that bring families, friends, colleagues, and multinational teams closer together. (*See “Five Live Experience Activities” for details.)
As Japan welcomes more visitors and global businesses expand into the country, the need for deeper communication and cross-cultural understanding has never been greater. Corporate leaders today face the challenge of uniting diverse teams across language, nationality, and cultural differences. That’s where we come in.
Invite Japan specializes in creating team-building programs that go beyond simple icebreakers. We provide interactive, meaningful experiences that help teams bond, collaborate, and grow together. Our diverse staff—speaking six or more languages—ensures that every team, no matter where they come from, feels supported and understood. Our attention to detail and commitment to the Japanese spirit of omotenashi (hospitality) have earned us consistent five-star ratings and enthusiastic feedback.
Whether you’re taking part in our outdoor scavenger hunts, Corporate Amazing Race, interactive puzzle challenges, or customized team building programs, we guarantee an experience like no other. You won’t just play a game—you’ll share an adventure with the people who matter most. And when you reach that “AHA!” moment together, it won’t just be a puzzle solved—it will be a connection strengthened.
We invite you to experience that moment with us.
