The city may be home to the Alberta Court of Justice or Edmonton Law Courts, but this year, its law and order legacy is expanding. A thrilling live courtroom drama, where professional actors showcase the intensity of a complex trial, is now available at “The Jury Experience” in Edmonton.
Taking place at the Triffo Theatre in the heart of Edmonton on selected dates, this interactive experience puts you in the jurors’ shoes, posing challenging questions on morality. The stakes are high and so is the drama and you won’t want to miss it.

The Jury Experience in Edmonton: What trial is on and what is it about?
Due to the nature of some cases, TJE is recommended for ages 12 and above, with each experience lasting 60 minutes. New cases are on the way, favourites will return, and for now, these are the trials available in Edmonton.
Technology on Trial
By examining a case where a self-driving vehicle was involved in a serious accident, the trial explores questions about technological accountability. How do we balance innovation with safety? What standards should autonomous systems meet? When systems fail, how do we fairly assign responsibility? You’ll consider multiple perspectives: the developers who created the algorithms, the manufacturers who implemented them, the owners who purchased the vehicle, and those affected by its actions — ultimately deciding who’s to blame.
Million-Dollar Murder or Web of Lies?
Lies swirl in a stunning mansion where a mysterious death disrupts lives already fractured by divorce and jealousy. The lack of clear forensic evidence means the jury must sort through emotional testimonies and expert analysis. Is the defendant a cold-blooded murderer or caught in the crossfire of others’ ambitions?
