What are Teams?
Homescapes Guide
Eventually in the game, you'll be asked by Austin if you want to join a Team. You can access the Team menu by clicking the yellow shield icon that's beside your task list on the lower left side of the screen.
You can create a team of your own, or join another one that's listed on the board. A team combines their scores together in order to get their placement by checking the ratings section.If you've connected your game to Facebook, you can check the friends tab to see which friends are on teams.
Once you're in a Team, you can join a Team event and compete for scores versus other teams. Prizes are then given out through Team Chests.
