The Jury Experience in Cologne – The Trials:

The Jury Experience – Death on the Port Side
A carefree evening on the water turns into a disaster. The son of an influential politician is out on the family’s speedboat with his friends, but the situation escalates. The next morning, the dramatic consequences become clear: one person is dead, another is fighting for their life in a coma, and suspicion of murder hangs in the air. What really happened that night? Was it a tragic accident—or is there a deeper, shocking truth behind the events?
What is The Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience is an immersive, fictional courtroom drama in which you actively participate by analyzing evidence together , listening to witness testimony, and voting on the final verdict—all while navigating moral and psychological tension. You can expect several standalone cases with high replay value, professional actors, and a duration of about 60–75 minutes. All trials are self-contained and independent of one another, and the age restriction is 12 years.
