Blood on the Clocktower and other Games - in the Students' Union - 3 PM slot

About the event

3 PM SLOT (1 Hour)

Murder is afoot in the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff; strange sightings and worrying whispers have become the talk of the town - not surprising considering some of the ghastly things that have happened to recent residents ...it can only be the work of a demon!

Your beloved storyteller has been killed and it's time for action. Band together with your fellow townsfolk to put a stop to these nightmarish going-ons! Combine your information and decipher truth from lie to root out and execute the demonic imp and their nefarious minions.

Careful though... not all is as it seems. Some of you aren't who you say you are...some of you are evil, hiding in plain sight. For you, the mission is simple: Stay alive, spread lies, keep killing and take over this town!

What's Blood on the Clocktower?

It's a social deduction game! Each player has a hidden role that gets different information.

If you're on the good team, you'll be trying to execute the demon. If you're the demon or one of their minions, you'll be trying to sow the seeds of confusion; surviving until the final night to take over Ravenswood Bluff once and for all.

Each night you'll close your eyes. Some of you will be awoken to receive new information. Each night the demon kills. When you awake to a new day, you'll share what you've learnt - discuss your findings together in groups or privately in whispers (be careful who you trust), before joining the Storyteller to nominate a townsfolk for execution. Keep on going until the forces of good or evil prevail!

Join us for a session of intrigue, investigation, deceit and fun!

Blood on the Clocktower aims to be an inclusive and accessible game, allowing anyone wanting to join in to do so in as complete a way as possible.

We will also have some fun and easy tabletop games to play if you are waiting for your turn or want to play something else afterwards. Free tea and coffee available.
