I’ve been working on this concept for 16 years, and just launched a playable MVP it’s called JuryNow, and I’d love your take on it.
The idea: You ask any personal dilemma or life choice (serious or silly) and get a snap verdict from 12 real people from around the world, anonymously, within 3 minutes.
But here’s the game loop: 💡 To get your verdict, you “pay” with ** Jury Duty** answering other people’s questions for a 3 minutes. The questions can be on any topic from a fashion dilemma to a workplace problem, to a big life decision or a mini political poll.It’s fast, instinctive, and weirdly addictive.
There is no commentary, discussion or debate…it’s just a binary choice powered by human collective intelligence. It gives you a global perspective on a decision if you are stuck, and if you aren’t! JuryNow plays like a global social deduction/party game, where objectivity, empathy, and instinct matter more than logic or debate.
You can ask questions like:
“Is Atlas more of a girl name or a boy name?”
“Celery vs. broccoli/ which is more hated by kids?”
“Someone keeps ripping down my LGBTQ activism stickers off of lightposts. Should I super glue them or give up?”
It’s kind of like Wavelength, Cards Against Humanity, or The Resistance, but… micro-sized and real-time.

Would love your honest feedback as board game fans …what works, what doesn’t, how you’d explain it to others, or whether this could ever make sense as an app or even a table top version one day?
Thank you! 🙏 Just to clarify up front: JuryNow® is trademarked and not open source and not designed for self-hosting. It’s a live, centralized platform I’ve built over many years, and I’m sharing it here and would love feedback from board ganers! (not to release the code or architecture.)
I dont like the binary nature of it. Comes off as one of those corporate personality tests with only binary answers BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS THAT CUT AND DRY
Agreed. If this is actually how they choose juries then I’d be horrible for it
This isn’t a board game. It’s online without any actual guarantee of privacy or security, due to being centralized and closed-source. Your pitch is weak, and doesn’t describe any win condition.
Overall, if I want to get opinions from random people, I can post a poll on the Fediverse. I don’t need to have a “game” for a feature that most social media have had for a decade.
That’s my feedback.
Weird that this is being dragged here:
Weird that this is being dragged here:Hey! I posted JuryNow here myself because I’ve always seen it as a kind of social judgment game (in the style of party/deduction-style mechanics. It’s not a tabletop game in the traditional sense, but it does share DNA with games like The Resistance or Wavelength (quick choices, group psychology, no commentary).
Totally fair if it’s not for everyone and i’m just exploring where the concept fits, and what types of players it resonates with. Appreciate the time anyone takes to check it out.
