THE EVIDENCE CHAMBER by Fast Familiar (UK)

THE SHOW

A digital interactive courtroom drama you can join from your home.

There’s been a murder. The police have a suspect but the evidence doesn’t paint a clear picture. In an online jury deliberation room, you watch the testimonies from characters involved and expert witnesses, scrutinise the evidence, discuss with your fellow jurors – and reach your verdict. The decision-making process is supported by explanatory materials about forensic evidence. The experience is structured to measure the impact of these materials.
The decision you make will change someone’s life: what will you decide?

If you’re a fan of crime fiction or true crime, this is the show for you. The Evidence Chamber was developed with forensic scientists from the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science, University of Dundee. A post-verdict debrief allows audiences to deepen their understanding of forensic processes and criminal justice procedures.

Guilty of greatness – The Evidence Chamber uses masterful storytelling, excellent
production value, and a slick, user-friendly custom interface to create a believable
and immersive environment for its players
