Blood on the Clocktower: Deception, Deduction, and Drama

If you’ve ever wanted to lie to your friends in a socially acceptable way, Blood on the Clocktower might just be your new favorite game night obsession.

This isn’t just another social deduction game. It’s not Werewolf. It’s not Mafia. It’s something far more theatrical, strategic, and a little magical. Blood on the Clocktower feels like a murder mystery party where everyone has a secret, the stakes are high, and the storyteller is orchestrating a symphony of chaos.

What’s the gameplay like?

Set in the haunted village of Ravenswood Bluff, players take on roles as townsfolk or evil-doers, one of which is a demon. The townsfolk are trying to figure out who it is before it’s too late. But here’s the twist: dead players still play. You’re never out of the game, just... a little more ghostly.

Each character has unique abilities, and the game thrives on logic, bluffing, and bold accusations. You’ll find yourself second-guessing your best friend, defending your innocence with wild theories, and maybe even pretending to be someone you’re not. And it’s all part of the fun.

Why You’ll Love It (Even If You’re New)

• No experience needed. The game is designed to be welcoming. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or just here for the vibes, you’ll find yourself lost in the story.
• You’re never eliminated. Even if you die, you still get to influence the game. That means no sitting out and no boredom.
• It’s a social sandbox. Want to be the quiet observer? Go for it. Want to stir the pot and cause mayhem? Absolutely. The game rewards creativity and cleverness.
• It builds community. You’ll laugh, argue, and bond over the wild twists and turns. It’s the kind of game you’ll talk about for weeks afterward.
