In short What to expect
Step into an immersive courtroom trial. As members of the jury, the power to deliver justice rests entirely in your hands. Debate the case, question the motives and cast your votes throughout the show. Decide who walks free... and who pays the price. This is jury duty like you've never experienced it before.
Program The Deadly Boat Ride
- 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?
Experience highlights

Not an average case
Our cases are designed to be challenging, taking you through more twists and turns than a rollercoaster.

Serve on a jury
In this courtroom, jury duty is more than casting a vote. Because when it comes to catching a murderer, there is no joking around. Every word matters. Every detail counts.

Stay sharp, think smart
Pay attention to testimonies, exhibits and details. Because someone might be playing you... and they might just get away with it.

Deliver the verdict
Vote throughout the show and ultimately decide: guilty or not guilty. Will justice be served? Well, that's up to you.
