The Deadly Cruise

On a summer night, the son of a powerful politician took the wheel of the family's speedboat - an ex-lover and old friends on board. Hours later, one was dead, one in a coma, and the son is facing a murder charge. Was it an act of jealous rage? Or is there far more to this tragedy than meets the eye?

  • Very fun, interactive experience! I took my parents and we all had a blast.
  • Great time everyone in the jury was involved and it was very fun
  • So exciting and fun. I will def be back!
  • The experience was nice and well presented, and I enjoyed the concept. However, at $50 per ticket, one hour just didn’t feel like enough to justify the price. I think it would be much more worthwhile if they offered two courtroom experiences (about an hour each) with an intermission in between to create a fuller, more immersive experience. Also, since everyone pays the same price, a more structured seating arrangement would make things feel more fair. Overall, it has great potential but needs more value for the cost.
  • 10/10 will come back!
  • Fun experience. Neat to hear the audience discussing the facts before voting
