Welcome to Blood on the Clocktower, the world’s best social deduction game. Whether you have played before or you are simply interested in giving it a try, everybody is welcome.
Details about the game and the venue are below. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in the discussion section or message Richard Pain directly.

About the game:
Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five to twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller. (I typically limit the game to 14 players so the games don't last too long).
A social game played in-person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.
In short, this game is incredibly fun. Full of guessing, uncertainty, thrills and kills. If you're interested, come and give it a try.

Who is welcome:
This game is open to everybody. The only requirement is that under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. You do not need prior experience of the game, everything will be explained to you once you arrive.

The venue:
The Red Lion Hotel, 43 High St, Colchester CO1 1DJ
The entrance to the hotel is in Red Lion Walk. You’ll see a staircase leading up into the hotel. At the top of the stairs there will be a room on your left. Poke your head in and say "Hi!"

The time:
This session will begin at 2pm, please arrive promptly.
Your host will be there from 1.30pm, to set up so if you arrive early, that’s perfectly fine.

The first game will likely end by 4:00pm and then we will likely have time for a second game which will run until 6pm.

The cost:
A suggested voluntary contribution of £3 per person will go towards the room fee and organisation. If you are unable to pay because money is tight, that's perfectly fine, you're still welcome. You can pay by cash (I'll have change available) or you can use the following link: https://settleup.starlingbank.com/richardpain2?amount=3.00

How to play:
The rules of the game will be explained to everybody once they have arrived.
The rules can appear confusing to new players, but don't worry. This will lots of peoples first time playing so your host will explain everything and be ready to answer questions during the game if you're unsure what's happening.
If you're excited about the game, you may want to watch this rules explanation in advance:


What to bring:
The hotel bar will be open and serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. You are also welcome to bring any snacks with you.
