Jury Games: Jury Duty

Brilliant!  I've tried a few online sleuthing games over the last year and generally found them 'ok' (some quite confusing, exasperating and not so much fun) but this was absolutely excellent.  We were brought into the game in an engaging way that made it comprehensible.  Help from those we interviewed was well judged - not too revealing but just enough to keep the game rolling.  Ditto re the support to get all jury members working together.  That's not easy when people don't know each other and the clock is ticking, so it's quite an accomplishment they managed it so well. What was very satisfying was that the story, in the end, was so cogent and well thought through.  Jury members CAN  work this one out but you will have to pay attention and think about it.  I went on from Jury Duty to do The Inquest and I enjoyed that one even more.  I felt more comfortable with and confident in Jury Games than any other provider I've worked with this year, so if you want a couple of hours of fun - with a bit of thought required - go for it.  I would definitely recommend them.  I'll be looking out for the next one. 

Impressive meta-critique on the justice system which cleverly leads through participants through a much wider range of emotional and mental manipulation than in most puzzling experiences. The puzzle elements all drive the narrative forward, and regardless of whether you "win or lose" you are led to deeply question and evaluate why you were engaging in the first place. Truly something new and a major step forward in the genre of puzzle-driven immersive shows.

Not sure I'd call this an escape game, its more like  interactive theatre or an online LARP.  Comprehensive storyline and lots of data to process, but not realy puzzle based. Enjoyable and something different.

Brilliant investigative, immersive and interactive game where you play one of 12 jurors who have to work together to reveal all the secrets of a suspicious arson/manslaughter/murder case by combing through documents and clues, getting secret intels and questioning the defendant. Not everything is as it seems! Playable only via Zoom with other people, you will need to use your deduction and investigative skills to uncover the details of the case. Highly recommend, brilliant production value with live actors, surprising ways to investigate and communicate and rich storytelling. Really good fun for a couple of hours.
