This is a 1.5 hour award-winning virtual game, with a host and live actors. During the game, you'll be on jury duty and will need to look at the evidence, interview defendants and cast your verdict! Group size: 20-60 persons. Each game can accommodate up to 20 pax; groups of more than 20 pax will be separated into different games that will be running simultaneously.The StorylineA fire. A dead man. A guilty plea for arson, but not for murder. The truth must come out.Under the Justice Act (2020), you have been summoned as a remote juror for a new kind of online trial. You and your fellow jurors must review the evidence, speak to the accused, and come to a conclusion. Is he guilty or not guilty? And is there more to this case than meets the eye?How will you find the accused?You and fellow jurors (your teammates) must review the evidence, speak to the accused, and come to a conclusion. Is he guilty or not guilty? And is there more to this case than what meets the eye? Interview the defendant and unite with your colleagues in a session of investigative fun!Through communication, problem-solving, delegation and diplomacy, Jury Duty demands a wide range of collaboration skills from its participants through an engaging and plot-twisting storyline. *Please be mindful of others when playing. A jury that works together effectively won't miss vital clues. What will players have to do?There will be evidence to read and listen to. It’s recommended that audiences divide up this evidence, so you may want to take responsibility for a specific exhibit and then report back on it to your fellow jurors. You may also come across codes and puzzles that hold more information about the case. If you crack these, make sure you let your fellow jurors know what you find.What makes Jury Duty unusual is the presence of a live actor playing the Defendant. You can interview them at various points in the show, and how you do that is up to you. They will respond to your questions and may wish to help you if you seem like someone they can trust. Talk to them and see if they can shed light on anything the evidence doesn’t explain.Group SizeThis can accommodate groups of 20-60 persons. Groups larger than 20 persons will need to split into sub-groups (up to 20 persons per group), and you'll be able to play simultaneously.About your hostJury Duty is a remote immersive experience from Exit Productions, which have been creating acclaimed immersive theatre for public and private events for over three years.Video Conferencing Platform*The operator is able to host sessions via Zoom.

The experience works with up to 20, but we have found that 16 is the best for audience experience. Does everyone need to login to their individual accounts? Or is only 1 laptop needed per team?Ideally everyone would log into the meeting via their own laptop. It has worked before with some people in a boardroom playing the experience together. But we suggest that people join individually. Do players need to do any activities aside from discussions and questioning the suspect? There is also evidence to look through. There are codes to find, (fake) social media to look through, emails to respond to, phone calls to receive, texts to receive. Downloading an audio file and reversing it. Will there be anyone to host the game and guide the players?Yes there is a coordinator that helps guide and explain things to the participants. Will the game end after 1.5hrs regardless of the outcome, or until a winner emerges? Also, how is a winner decided?The game will end after 1.45 mins, the audience will be asked if they think the defendant is guilty or not. This will change the ending of the experience. We then explain the correct answer after the experience. If players are broken up into teams, how will they discuss with each other? Will each team be in different breakout rooms?They are brought back together to discuss as a full group after the first 45 mins. We use breakout rooms for this. Will there be any materials given to the players to help them during the game, eg. A virtual map, pre-readings, log-in codes?Yes, there is the evidence at the start and a database that can be searched for more information. As well as emailing a character that is trying to help them.
