Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, now with a custom script for Pride! "In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, ‌a demon walks amongst you..." Join Andrey as Storyteller for this spooky mystery game! NEW! This session features a custom script to celebrate Pride! Beginners always welcome but this will be a more advanced script! During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village? Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 15 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townsfolk. During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. At 'night' time, players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill. Admission is $10 each (+tax and Eventbrite fees), granting everyone access to both the event, and our collection of 600+ board games before and after the event (provided there is space)! Event is ALL AGES, but please note that any guests under 14 must be accompanied by a chaperone. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS Seating is limited so please let us know if you can no longer make it!
