Blood on the Clocktower (Intermediate) – Cardiff

ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT…

During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

Blood on the Clocktower is the ultimate bluffing game, perfect for player who love a bit of Good vs. Evil drama. You’ve got the townfolk on one side, demons on the other, and a Storyteller who’s pulling the strings, making all the big decisions. The aim? Sniff out and execute the demons before they outnumber the good guys. No pressure, right?

During the ‘day,’ you’ll be chatting, whispering, scheming—sometimes sharing useful info, other times spreading complete nonsense. It all leads to someone getting the chop if enough players think they’re on Team Evil. And then comes the ‘night,’ where everyone closes their eyes and takes turns getting woken up by the Storyteller. Some gather clues, some spread chaos, some…well, kill people.

The best part? No need to fuss over a table or board. The Storyteller handles the setup, so you can stay right in the middle of the action. Even if you get killed off, you’re still in the game as a ghost, haunting Ravenswood Bluff and trying to win from the great beyond. Yep, even in death, there’s no escape from the fun.

And if you’re late to the party? No problem. You can jump in as a Traveller character—someone with weird abilities and questionable loyalties. Every player has a unique ability, so no two games are ever the same.

Do you feel like you’ve mastered Trouble Brewing but you’re not quite ready to jump into custom scripts yet? This is likely the right choice for you. A night consisting of either Sects & Violets or Bad Moon Rising.
