History

WorkJam was found by Tamotaka (山口 孝) on December 15, 1998 as a producer and developer of social games and mobile applications.[1] In 1999 they released their first game in Japan, an adventure game titled Cross Tantei Monogatari.[4] This was followed by two sequels released in 2000 titled Cross Tantei Monogatari 1: Kouhen (Major Wave Series) and Cross Tantei Monogatari 1: Zenpen (Major Wave Series). In 1999, Data East licensed out the Tantei Jingūji Saburō series to WorkJam. In 2002, it released its first of these licensed games titled Tantei Jinguuji Saburo: Innocent Black. Full rights to the Tantei Jingūji Saburō series were given to WorkJam after Data East went bankrupt in 2003.[5]

On February 6, 2017, it was announced that Arc System Works had acquired the rights to the Jake Hunter, Theresia, Nazo no Jikenbo, and Koneko no Ie series from WorkJam.[6]
