A thrilling mix of mystery, bluffing, and connection.
In the quiet town of Ravenswood Bluff, a gruesome murder has been committed, and a demon walks among the townsfolk. Some of you are loyal villagers trying to uncover the truth… others are in league with evil, sowing lies to protect the killer. The twist? Even when you’re “dead,” you’re not out of the game — you still get a voice, and sometimes, that’s all you need to sway the final outcome.
Whether you’re a sharp-eyed strategist or just here for the fun of wild accusations, Blood on the Clocktower is easy to learn, endlessly replayable, and full of conversation starters.
Why join us?
- Meet new people over a high-energy, story-driven game.
- Experience a fully hosted session — our storyteller guides you through the rules and keeps the drama flowing.
- Play in a way that’s inclusive for beginners but still challenging for veterans.
- Laugh, bluff, and bond with your fellow players between rounds.
How the game works:
- At the start, each player is secretly assigned a role — Good or Evil — with unique abilities.
- By day, everyone discusses, shares information, and votes to execute a suspect.
- By night, the storyteller calls on players to use their abilities, and the demon quietly chooses their next victim.
- Dead players still participate — giving advice, spreading suspicion, and plotting the downfall of their enemies.
- The game ends when the demon is caught… or evil claims victory.
