Virtual Team Building Activities For Remote Teams

We provide the tools and services to help make virtual team building a reality. With our innovative program, team members don’t need to be physically gathered in the same location in order to have a productive team building experience.

The Virtual Team Building Experience​

Whether your team is just getting started with online meeting procedures or is already experienced with the nuances of connecting virtually, Invite Japan will meet your team where they are and take them further. From the moment that participants log on to the program, your facilitator will be ready to support each member and make sure that everyone stays together and engaged.

Over the course of the program, attendees build on a series of tasks that quickly link together into a set of accomplishments, aimed at training them in using the technology they use for work in order to forge a more cohesive team.

Our Virtual Team Building Is Recommended for

It’s always a good time to reinforce the connections and bonds between your team members, even when it doesn’t seem like it. Just like our in-person events, Invite Japan Online Team Building allows participants to discover hidden skills, sharpen existing talents, and show off unique ways of contributing to team accomplishments. Presented using the convenient, easily accessible internet-based tools required for success in today’s remote workplace, participants will waste no time jumping in on the fun and engaging tasks at hand. Our facilitators make sure to stay on top of the latest platform updates and improvements, never letting the progress of technology come between your team and its potential.

Remote Teams

Virtual team building is a great tool to improve teamwork between your remote employees. No matter if your company has been working remotely from tall along or if you just recently established remote work, your team will improve trust and communication skills with our online activities. Team members can face group challenges from their homes, while using the online tools that they actually use to communicate with for remote work.

New Employees

Virtual team building is also a good way to introduce new hire(s) into the team. Given the current circumstances, it may be harder to welcome and incorporate new team members smoothly. A virtual team building event can provide the opportunity to cooperate in order to complete a variety of fun tasks and challenges, which will make their integration into the team much easier and prevents shyness and hesitant communication.

Mixed Teams

If your team is a mix of remote and on-site employees, or employees working in different countries, a virtual team building event is also a great way to ensure that your team members get to know each other. Good personal relationships among your team members will improve communication, productivity and focus. Depending on the activity, new skills can be taught in a fun and stress free environment.

What is Virtual Team Building?

A good team knows how to function under a variety of circumstances and dynamics. The current situation has caused major strains and shifts in how we work. Our homes have become our offices, and the little interactions with our co-workers that were essential for our productivity and our mental well-being may no longer be there. Even when teams are working far apart though, the right program can bring members closer together.

That is why Invite Japan has developed a new and exciting Online Team Building program. This web-based workshop combines our classic core elements of puzzle-solving and fun with content specifically catered to the current situation many teams are faced with: remote work, team-members spread apart, and the rise of teleconferencing.

As always, our priority is to help organizers achieve their own team-building goals during
events. Whether you need to improve communication, build bonds between members, or stimulate creative collaboration, we have the perfect plan for you.

Invite Japan Online Team Building programs incorporate:

  • Structured presentations outlining different components of teams.
  • Practical use of collaborative tools to bridge communication gaps.
  • Fun and surprising activities that are memorable and meaningful.
  • Broad scope of experience and insight into the mechanics of successful teams.
  • Customized features that highlight the unique targets of each organization.

Using the internet-based, conference applications that are vital for future success, Online Team Building is a convenient format in which all participants can meet teamwork challenges together.

Now, it is more vital than ever to create a connected and communicative team in order to ensure that a focused workflow is maintained while keeping frustrations low and contained. How your team deals with these issues now will affect how smooth the transition into the future will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many companies and organizations are shifting to remote work and international conferences are now virtual in order to limit overseas travel. 

Online team building is a way for organizations, teams, and conferences to incorporate team building activities into this new way of working in order to bring people closer. Players access the activities online from their PCs, whether at home or at an office. This widens the scope for participation, allowing players who are physically distant to still be able to strengthen relationships, learn more about team roles, and have fun together. 

Tabitantei is Invite Japan’s online team building program. The name comes from two Japanese words: tabi, which means “journey”, and tantei which means “detective”. The game allows players to solve puzzles together based on landmarks in different cities (Yokohama, Karuizawa, Sendai, and Asakusa) around Japan. The goal is to have fun traveling virtually around Japan and learning about different cities and landmarks, all without leaving your room.

Your team assumes the roles of archaeologists who have come to Japan to research special “Sacred Magatama” (stone beads). These magatama are said to hold mysterious power. As your team progresses from city to city, you are given different missions to complete. By solving the puzzles in each city, you will also be able to accomplish the missions and move on to the next city. 

The game uses:

  • ZOOM–for team communication (other video communication apps are possible)
  • MIRO–a white board application that teams will use to solve each puzzle together

Teams begin with a Google Sheet that contains links to all the puzzles, a link to a photo album of puzzle locations, and spaces to write in answers. Teams also have access to a puzzle map that shows the order in which they need to solve the puzzles.

For each puzzle, teams will search through photos that might help them solve the puzzles, and use the MIRO whiteboard tools to collaborate and find the solution. When they think they have found the right answer, they type the answer into the space provided on the Google Sheet to confirm that the solution is correct.

After the teams complete all the puzzles in a location, they can continue on their journey to the next location, completing as many puzzles as possible in the given time for the game.

All players need to have a computer with a camera, a microphone and access to the Internet. We recommend using the Google Chrome web browser, as well as the ZOOM teleconferencing application (or another agreed-upon teleconferencing app) installed.
Keep in mind that players will be asked to manage links to different information and analyze puzzle details on the screen, so a computer that can comfortably handle multitasking is recommended. Also, if there are any team members in the same room, we suggest that they use headphones in order to block out any echo effects.

Our facilitators will be on hand to explain the mechanics of the game and to help you with technological issues. We can also provide a more detailed tutorial for how to use the various apps and technologies if your team requires it.
