🩸 **Blood on the Clocktower — Saturday Night Games** 📅 **Date:** Saturday, September 19 🕔 **Time:** 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 🍽️ **Location:** Blossom Market Hall 📍 **Address:** 264 S. Mission Dr., San Gabriel, CA 91776 🅿️ **Parking:** Free 💲 **Cover Fee:** Free ================================ 📍 **LOCATION UPDATED** We are moving this event from Wushiland Boba in Alhambra to **Blossom Market Hall in San Gabriel**. The new location gives us a food hall environment, ample nearby parking, and plenty of opportunities to grab food or drinks during the evening. Blossom Market Hall has a variety of food vendors, including options such as burgers, sushi, and other cuisines, along with a beer and wine bar for anyone who would like to grab a drink. The food hall closes at **9:00 p.m.**, so we will finish our games and begin packing up by approximately **8:30 p.m.** ================================ ⏰ **ARRIVAL & GAME SCHEDULE** The event officially begins at **5:00 p.m.**, but you do not need to be there exactly at 5:00. **5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. will be our arrival and trickle-in period.** Feel free to arrive during this window, grab some food or a drink, meet the other players, and get settled. The first round of games will begin at approximately **5:30 to 5:45 p.m.** If you cannot make the first round, that is completely fine. You are welcome to come later and join us for the **second round, which will begin at approximately 7:00 p.m. and run until around 8:30 p.m.** We will begin wrapping everything up around 8:30 p.m. before the food hall closes at 9:00 p.m. ================================ Join us for an evening of Blood on the Clocktower, an immersive social deduction game filled with mystery, strategy, conversation, bluffing, deception, and plenty of suspicious behavior. This event will feature two games running in parallel, giving both newer and more experienced players an opportunity to join a table that fits their experience level. Each player receives a secret character and joins either the good team or the evil team. The good team must gather information, compare clues, identify inconsistencies, and determine who the Demon is before it is too late. Meanwhile, the evil team must create confusion, spread misinformation, protect the Demon, and convince the town that someone else is responsible. Unlike many social deduction games, dying does not remove you from the experience. Even after your character dies, you may continue participating in discussions, sharing information, developing theories, and helping your team pursue victory. Dead players also retain one final vote that can become extremely important later in the game. 🌱 **NEW & BEGINNER PLAYERS — TROUBLE BREWING** One table will be dedicated to Trouble Brewing, the introductory Blood on the Clocktower script and one of the best ways to learn the game. This table will be run by a couple of our existing Storytellers and is specifically intended for first-time players, newer players, and anyone who would like a more traditional Clocktower experience. No previous experience is required. Before the game begins, the Storytellers will explain the basic rules, character abilities, nominations, voting, executions, nighttime actions, and the other important mechanics you will need to know. Trouble Brewing uses an approachable collection of characters while still providing plenty of opportunities for deduction, bluffing, misinformation, teamwork, and unexpected twists. If you have never played Blood on the Clocktower before, this is the table I recommend joining. New players should not feel intimidated. This game is specifically being offered so that newer players can learn how Clocktower works in a friendly environment while actually experiencing a full game. 🔥 **EXPERIENCED PLAYERS — BIG CHOICES AND BAD DECISIONS** At the second table, I will be Storytelling Big Choices and Bad Decisions. This game is intended for players who already have some familiarity with Blood on the Clocktower and are comfortable dealing with more unusual characters, interactions, and strategic decisions. As the name suggests, expect difficult choices, uncertain information, calculated risks, and decisions that may have consequences far beyond the person making them. There may be situations where there is no obviously correct choice, and players will sometimes have to make important decisions without having all of the information they would like. One Demon that could potentially appear is the Al-Hadikhia. If the Al-Hadikhia enters play, selected players may be confronted with a very simple question that can have extremely complicated consequences: **Do you choose to live, or do you choose to die?** That decision may sound straightforward, but in Blood on the Clocktower, choosing to survive is not always the safest option. Sometimes dying may provide important information. Sometimes surviving may create an even larger problem. Sometimes the decision that appears best for you may be disastrous for the rest of the town. And sometimes you may have to make that choice without knowing whether the people around you are telling you the truth. The Al-Hadikhia is only one of the possibilities in Big Choices and Bad Decisions, so the exact characters and threats in play will remain a mystery until the game begins. 🍔 **FOOD & DRINKS** One of the benefits of moving to Blossom Market Hall is that food and drinks will be available throughout most of the event. Feel free to arrive during the 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. trickle-in period and grab dinner before the games begin. The food hall offers a variety of choices, including burgers, sushi, and other options. There is also a beer and wine bar available for anyone who would like to have a drink while hanging out. Please feel free to support the businesses inside the food hall during the event. 🅿️ **PARKING INFORMATION** Parking is **free**, and there are several parking options available around Blossom Market Hall. When arriving, **please approach from the north side and use the north-side entrance.** Please **do not approach from the west-side entrance**, as that access point is currently blocked. Give yourself a few extra minutes when arriving so you can enter from the correct side, find parking, and make your way into the food hall before the games begin. 🩸 **NEW PLAYERS AND VETERANS ARE BOTH WELCOME** Whether this is your first game or you have already spent countless evenings confidently accusing completely innocent people of being Demons, you are welcome to join us. Come ready to meet new people, exchange information, build theories, bluff convincingly, make accusations, defend yourself, and possibly spend the evening regretting one extremely important decision. With two games running at the same time, there should be something available for both beginners and experienced players. New players are absolutely welcome. If you cannot make the first games around 5:30 to 5:45 p.m., feel free to arrive later for the second round beginning around 7:00 p.m. See everyone Saturday night! 🩸⏰ **⏰ Attendance Expectations** Please arrive in time for the game you intend to play. The main arrival period is between **5:00 and 5:30 p.m.**, with the first games beginning around **5:30 to 5:45 p.m.** If you cannot make the first round, you may arrive for the second round beginning at approximately **7:00 p.m.** If you are no longer able to attend, please update your RSVP at least 24 hours before the event. **Cancellations made within the 24-hour window, as well as unexcused absences, may result in permanent removal from the group.** In the event of a genuine emergency, please notify the organizers as soon as reasonably possible. Repeated unexcused absences or repeated last-minute emergency notices may also result in permanent removal. **🤝 Code of Conduct** Please treat every participant with courtesy and respect. Deception, bluffing, suspicion, and accusations are part of the game, but personal attacks, hostile behavior, excessive shouting, bullying, or aggressive accusations directed at another participant are not acceptable. Please remember that this is a game. Whether you win or lose, everyone is expected to help create a welcoming, enjoyable, and respectful experience for both new and returning players. **“Kill with grace, and die with dignity.”**

**Welcome to [The Canis Pack IKIGAI 10K Adventure] + Purpose, Friendship, Togetherness & Support!** **We Will Not Wait Until Life Is Not Hard To WELCOME Strength, Beauty & Joy Into Our Lives!** **SNIFF - EXPLORE - EXERCISE** [**THIS IS A WALK FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE DOGS - AND FOR THOSE WHO DO**] **AGENDA;** **\- Gathering at 5:45 \- 1485 Virginia Rd\. Lacy Park** **\- Leaving at 6:00 pm Promptly** **\- Bathroom Break as we head out** **\- Continue with the Inner and Outer Loop walk** **\- After the Loops\, then exploring the surrounding San Marino neighborhood\.** **\- This will be a 10K Walk – About 6\.2\-5 miles** **\- 2 Hours or so Walk** **\- 8:00 pm \- Returning to Lacy Park** **WHAT TO BRING;** **\- Water** **\- A Warm Jacket for Chilly Nights** **\- Flash Lite** **\- Bug Spray** **\- Snacks if needed** **\- Good walking shoes** **\- Comfortable walking clothes** **\- A bright Jacket for the Dark days** **LISTEN THERE'S MORE;** **Goal: A STRONG LIKE-MINDED TOGETHERNESS!** \* We will Establish Togethereness \* We will Bring about a Strong Awareness \* We will Establish a Strong National Presence \* We will Be Active and Responsible \* We will Always Think as a Like-Minded Group \* We will Put our Health and Wellbeing First \* We are a Pack-Family **\* We will Gather and Walk with Harmony** I know—10,000 steps might not sound like a lot, but for those of us who sit at desks or stand in one place all day, it's not always easy to hit that goal. And while 15,000 or 20,000 steps would be great, they also require more time. So to make it fun and manageable, we’re starting with 10k steps as a challenge—and we may increase the goal in future events. **THE IMPORTANT POINTS ARE THESE;** Space is limited, so **please RSVP only if you’re 100% sure you’ll attend.** 🙏🏾If you RSVP and don’t show, you will be 🚩Red Flagged 🚩for future events—we all appreciate reliability and respect for others' abilities to get a spot to walk!🙏🏾 Expect to hit somewhere between **10,000–12,000 steps (approximately 7.5-9 miles),** depending on the pace and group. This **midweek walking event** is going really well. So, let’s **stay active together** and **make this a Strong part of our routine.** **See You There.** [COMMENT BELOW IF YOU ARE IN AGREEMENT] **NOW IS THE TIME, LET’S GET TO WALKING;** Btw. Yes, Lacy Park allows dogs. However, they must be on a leash and it will be your own responsibility. No running involved. Just a casual, social walk. Bring water if you need it. **Free street parking is available in the surrounding areas. Please avoid parking inside the park lot, as the gates may close before we finish our walk.** **Park closes at dusk so I strongly advise against parking inside any of the lots. Just drive around, and you can easily find free open parking spaces.** **Lacy Park is located at 1485 Virginia Road, San Marino, CA 91108**
