JuryNow® a fast browser game where 12 real strangers give you a snap verdict on your question.
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.

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! 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?
Also: a native mobile app is in the works
JuryNow is not open-source or self-hostable, and won’t be.
This is a personal project I’ve developed over many years (16), and I’m still shaping where it goes. I shared it here because it’s lightweight, browser-based, and real-time and not because it’s federated or designed for open deployment.
I fully respect the open/self-hosting ethos but this is NOT that, and I’d like to be upfront about it.
VERY rough location! country only!
Thank you!! this discussion is just HEAVEN getting live feedback! Been working on the idea fo 16 years (and then finally this last year to actually make a live app!) but it's so exciting to see people play!
Hello Captain! Thanks so much for playing firstly ANd for coming back to give feedback! The jury will always be 12, no more, no less...but the idea is to have a cycle of reciprocity, whereby you are asking and voting in a seamless 3 minutes! Indeed, this is a brand new MVP and still ironing out some bugs (my tech ironing skills are a WIP!) and I know what you mean about the survey part...But when you get your verdict, did it reduce that 'survey' feeling? Did you feel it was worth it to get your own answer? (I hope so!!)
Hello there, Thanks so much for playing! Indeed, I see it as a game - my daughter insists it's not a game because you can't win and there is no competition! It's definitely fun getting your veredict - some mini dopamine hits there!
Can you tell me what you mean here please? JuryNow® is Trademarked in every country!
SKIP button is being worked on I promise! And thank you for playing Kraiden (and putting up with teenage drama!!) It's also great for the teenager to get a different persective...AND I must say, there will be questions you will want a couple of teenagers to vote on in your jury too! The best juries are the most diverse (in terms of age, culture, countries, professions etc)
It's going to really depend on the amount of traffic to make this possible but the idea is to get a totally diverse jury answering questions on anything...i.e. the opposite of somewhere like Reddit where you you pick your communities. So you have a true cross section of our world answering you and get a global perspective that is nothing like your peer group. For that to happen, one needs to answer all the questions as best as you can. And when it launches properly, it will be one free question a day which will also bring a different element...If there are 50,000 people playing at any given time (this is what i'm hoping for this year! i'm very hopeful and very optimistic!) then you will have far less "juryduty" time! But anyway, a HUGE thank you for playing and for your feedback! I'm keeping a note of every comment!!! It's gold!
Hello Sincerity! Thanks so much for playing JURY NOw! Indeed, I'm working on a SKIP button! (I don't have a tech background so it's taking a while but it's my priority!!)
Thank you HEndrik! REally apprecaite you playing AND taking the time to write feedback!! Indeed, It's always goign to be a FREEMIUM model (my new word of the year!) with one free daily play, and then to monetize it, there will be a premiuim version where you can see 12 flags from where you jury is from, AND have a 3rd options!
Thank you Ratatouile! There is currently a REPORT button, but indeed, i really see a high priority need clearly for SKIP! Do you think it would be confusing to have it as a Joker Card that you can play once (to skip) or does it just need a SKIP button (that you can only use once)
I like the idea, but it needs a privacy policy. If someone answered 100 of those questions, the insight into their behaviour would be incredibly valuable to bad actors.
Guaranteeing anonymity would make this much better. Good point and yes, that’s something I’ve thought about a lot.
Right now, JuryNow doesn’t store any personal data or persistent user identifiers. The questions and votes are not linked to individuals in a way that would allow tracking behavior over time.
Still, I agree that a clear privacy policy is overdue even just to explain what isn’t collected. Thanks for raising this. I’ll prioritize adding it. There is a User Agreement, Liability, Disclaimer etc...but yes, need a privacy policy!
ooooh! That probably means you were just a few people short of a real jury! There are lots of people on now, so do try again ...AND THANK YOU SO MUCH for playing!
Hello Pageflight - It's hard to moderate the questions for hate speech/sexual content etc... so I had to put a filter on, and indeed, it can be a little preventative...sorry! Will see if I can loosen it a littled!
oooh! Thank you! Uusually the RECAPTCHA is just a click? Will investigate right now!!
