You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Jury Box game envelope.jpg|thumb|A case from the game]]
'''''The Jury Box''''' is a 1937 [[parlor game]], created by Roy Post and published by [[Parker Brothers]], that was popular in the [[United States]] in the late 1930s.<ref name="BGG">((cite web |title=The Jury Box |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/21536/jury-box |website=BoardGameGeek |accessdate=7 November 2018))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,788671,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070312141454/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,788671,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 12, 2007 |title=Sport: 1937 Games |author= |date=1 Feb 1937 |publisher=[[TIME Magazine]] |accessdate=16 May 2011))</ref> Players are asked to solve six cases as members of a jury. The game is considered a predecessor to modern [[murder mystery game]]s and [[role-playing game]]s.<ref name="BGG"/>

== Manufacturer  ==
The game was manufactured in Canada by The Copp Clark CO., Limited, Toronto, under license by Parker Brothers Inc. in [[Salem, Massachusetts]].((cn|date=January 2020))

== Game play ==
((Unreferenced section|date=January 2020))
For each case, the players act as individual members of a jury trying to determine whether the defendant is either guilty or innocent using the evidence provided to them.

One person is selected prior to the start of the game to serve as the District Attorney; this person presents the information but does not act as a member of the jury and does not accumulate points. The District Attorney is given the printed story, the photographs related to the crime, and a solution sealed in an envelope. They then read aloud the story of the crime for all the players to hear; each player can ask for any part of the story to be re-read. While the story is being read, no one is allowed to make any noise or interrupt. After that, the photographs connected to the story are handed around to each player to examine. After the story has been read and the evidence has been seen, each player will write down their solution to the case, listing the guilt or innocence of the defendant along with why they think so based on the evidence. While considering their solutions, players are not allowed to talk to each other; those violating this rule lose fifty points.

Once all the players have given their answers to the District Attorney, the correct verdict is read. Each player whose solution matches the supplied verdict will get fifty points; an additional fifty points is awarded if the correct reasoning for the solution is also given. 

Each case should take around fifteen to twenty minutes to play. After all six cases have been presented and solved, the player with the most points wins.

== Contents ==
Each ''Jury Box'' board game contains packets of material on six separate cases. Every case includes a story that gives a full summary of the crime, two photographs from the crime scene, and a small envelope, labeled "Correct Verdict", which has the correct solution to the case inside it. There is also a pad of blank ballots; each player acting as a jury member gets a ballot to write their own solution to the case at hand.<ref name="BGG"/>
