Working in a pleasant environment, with a positive corporate culture that fosters high morale, is an important factor for good collaboration within your team. Unfortunately, when co-workers have to work remotely due to the ongoing pandemic and are spread across multiple locations and time zones, keeping them motivated and collaborative becomes complicated. However, there’s a solution: using online experiences as a team building activity to promote team spirit, boost morale, and improve communication between your team!

Online team building experiences are a fun and easy way to bond with your team in an engaging and relaxed environment. You and your co-workers can even explore a different country from the comfort of your own house!

If you want to bring your team building activity to the next level, join us in our brand new Japan-themed murder mystery!

Japan-themed murder mystery:

Immerse yourself in a story of old Tokyo and uncover the mysteries behind the death of Japan’s most famous sushi master! A powerful samurai, a mysterious geisha, a jealous apprentice, a rival sushi chef and an unfaithful spouse all have a motive for

killing the sushi master. Who is responsible? Among many doubts and alibis, there is only one real culprit … it’s up to you and your team to reveal their name!

In this virtual team building activity, you will compete remotely in teams with your colleagues. By reading the testimonies of the suspects, solving enigmas and puzzles, and collecting clues, you will have to work together to uncover the mysteries behind the sushi master’s murder.

Why choose a murder mystery as a team building activity?

The format of a murder mystery involves all the factors that makes a team building activity successful: cooperation, communication, problem solving, and using people’s different strengths to achieve a common goal.

Our murder mystery activity is a great chance for your colleagues to get to know each other better in a fun and exciting setting. In order to solve the different puzzles, your team will need to cooperate by using each other’s skills and strong suits to work towards the same goal – solving a thrilling mystery!

Team building activities encourage friendly competition, collaboration and communication between co-workers to strengthen their teamwork and increase their motivation. Experiencing adventures and challenges together through fun team building activities allows your team to see another side of each other that they may not discover in the workplace.

So what are you waiting for? Leave the regular workplace behind and book an exciting team building activity to establish stronger relationships with your team!
