the deadly boat ride

Seating Plan
- 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
