Team members can face group challenges from their homes, while using the online tools that they actually use to communicate with for remote work.

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.
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.
