New & experienced players welcome to Blood on The Clocktower! A clever social deduction puzzle game set in the town of Ravenswood Bluff.
About this Event

The room is available from 5 PM, but games begin at 6 PM, giving players time to arrive, get a bite to eat, and chit-chat before the main event.

Our group aims to run a once every two weeks event in Sheffield at the Rutland Arms Pub in their private venue room on the first floor.

The event itself is Completely Free! You just need to book a ticket through Eventbrite. Drinks and food are not included, but are available to purchase at the bar.


About the Game:

Games range from 30 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes. 7-15 players. We will try to play at least 2 games per meeting.

Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game with puzzle elements. Players are split randomly into two teams at the start of the game: The heroic good team of Townsfolk and Outsiders, who must cooperate, share information and hunt down the Demon. And the evil team: Minions who's job is to mislead, lie and deceive town as their notorious Demon leader works to slaughter all the other players!

The game will be lead by a friendly Storyteller, a fellow player, whose job is to moderate the game, make crucial game decisions, and create game balance for both the good and evil teams.


About the Script:

The Ballad of Seat 7 is a moderate difficulty script with tougher characters like damsel and magician in play. Overall, the complexity of the information in the game is of a mild difficulty. Seat 7 is an empty seat with a character token. It could be good or it could be evil. It's choices are arbitrary and it has the ability to speak, via the storyteller, once per game. I will be running a variant where seat 7 has the ability to speak once publicly and once privately. Seat 7 will be represented by a plushie which I will be carrying around. If the plushie is facing up, it has joined the conversation and will be listening!


Before the game begins the Storyteller will guide any new players through the rules of the game and ensure everyone is comfortable, as well give helpful advice or answer mechanical questions during the game.

An opportunity to make new friends and put your skills to the ultimate test. Venture through a fun, thrilling game where you are never quite sure who to believe…


As spaces are limited for this event, if you discover you cannot make it, please cancel your ticket to make space for other players, or notify me.

Script choice will be versatile based on player comfort and experience. We hope to play all the base 3 scripts (Trouble Brewing, Bad Moon Rising, Sects & Violets), alongside exciting community made custom games.

Sheffield has an incredible community of clocktower players and we are looking forward to you joining this amazing community.
