It’s the anonymous private part of JuryNow in that your verdict is your private property! BUT…I’m thinking of launching a ‘Share My Question & Verdict’ and then sharing the unanimous verdicts, and ‘Question of the Day’ for people that are happy to share.
Hey! Just adding a quick follow-up: If there are less than 13 people playing, your verdict will be simulated …that’s because as an MVP it has to demonstrate the functionality, but this is only a temporrary feature and as soon as there are regular players across different time zones, it will be permanently dismantled, as JuryNow is intended as an antidote to AI!
If anyone’s curious I’m especially looking for feedback on the gameplay loop:
Does Jury Duty feel intuitive or confusing at first? Is the 3-minute answer phase fun or stressful?
Would you play again without needing to ask a question?
oh i’m sorry! I just get a really innocuous one click box and then I’m in (it was that or an email registration!) have you any other ideas??? would love to do something else?
Hey all appreciate the honest response here, even if it’s critical.
Just wanted to say this was made by one person (me) over 16 years of work. I really see it as a game about empathy, impulse, and group psychology rather than a startup or AI thing. I thought it might resonate with people who enjoy fast, social games with unusual mechanics. But if this isn’t the right place, totally understand. Thanks for taking a look anyway 🙏
Is this a game? Seems more like a polling platform. Where’s the fun?
Fair question (my daugthter insists it’s not a game because there are no winners). It looks like a polling tool, but under the hood it’s built like a social game and the fun comes from speed, unpredictability, and reciprocity. And knowing that at that moment 12 people are looking at your question and answering it.
You’re not just answering polls. You’re put on the spot with weird, intimate, or absurd questions (and you only have a few seconds to vote). While you wait for your own answer, you’re doing Jury Duty which is rapid-fire judgments with no do-overs or explanations. It becomes this mini adrenaline rush, a little like Cards Against Humanity or Wavelength, but stripped down to just decisions.
The “game” is in the tension, the randomness, and the psychology. And that moment when your verdict pops up , knowing 12 total strangers just decided your issue , it weirdly scratches the same itch as multiplayer games or party rounds.
It’s not for everyone, but some people get hooked fast! Anywya, a bit THANK YOU for playing!

Kind of boring just answering questions without any feedback. Did the rest of the “jury” agree with my answer or not? Guess I’ll never know.

Also: a native mobile app is in the works
Fucking CAPTCHA

Click all the motorcycles to continue.
it’s weird how some people get a little box to click, and others get the bus, traffic lights. …Anyway, a big thank you for playing JuryNow!
