A 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 do you find the accused?
Experienced over Zoom, Jury Duty is an interactive theatre game designed for locked down audiences to play remotely. Players must investigate the case, solve puzzles and interview the defendant to ensure that justice is served.
Jury Duty was developed as part of the FEVER DREAMS R&D run by Exit Productions during March and April 2020. This project aimed to make interactive work in isolation, for an audience in isolation.
