Courtroom is a competitive, team-based game of investigation, evidence, and testimony, featuring three standalone cases to explore.

It is 1936. Every case has two sides, every witness has something to hide, and every piece of evidence can tell more than one story.

One team takes the side of the Prosecution, determined to prove the defendant guilty. The other becomes the Defense, fighting to establish reasonable doubt.

There is no single truth to uncover. The evidence can support both the Prosecution and the Defense - and the team that finds and presents more of the key facts will make the stronger case.

Mechanisms

Investigate the evidence

Search through documents, photographs, crime scenes, and other evidence to build your version of the case. Most discoveries will eventually become known to both teams, but a few crucial clues can remain hidden from your opponents. Decide what matters, follow the right leads, and keep your strongest evidence close.

Question the witnesses

Call witnesses to the stand and confront them with the evidence you have uncovered. Their reactions can strengthen your case, expose weaknesses in your theory, or reveal entirely new leads. Use Objection! to disrupt the opposing team, or apply Pressure to push a witness for more information.

Build your closing argument

Bring everything together in your Closing Argument. Use the evidence and testimony to build the strongest version of events you can, then see whether you found the facts that matter. Present your argument as a dramatic speech or submit it in writing - the strength of your case is what counts.
