About this Event: Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the world of social deception games, this event offers something for everyone. Come solo or with friends and immerse yourself in a game of Blood on the Clocktower. Our events are a great way to connect with members of local communities and are perfect for folks arriving in Toronto looking to make new friends.

General Admission Tickets: Tickets for this event include access to a privately booked themed room, a tutorial of the game Blood on the Clocktower if new players are in attendance, a full playthrough of the game. Tickets are priced and sold per person.

There are also free tickets available for those who either join our donation team or who recruit someone to join our donation team. Details can be found at the Eventbrite.

For this event, we will be playing the Changeling custom script: Sleep Talking.

What is Blood on the Clocktower? Blood on the Clocktower is an advanced version of the game Werewolf, and crucially the dead still have an important role to play in the game. The game is run by a Storyteller who has carefully crafted an experience and facilitates the game for up to 20 players. It is part deduction and part deception. Set in the little village of Ravenswood Bluff, players in the game assume different roles, each with unique abilities to hunt down the evil or stay hidden as one.

For new players, check out this video created by our head game instructor Jeremy, to learn the basics of the game ahead of the event. There will also be time at the top of the game to review rules and ask questions.

Attire: For a game like Blood on the Clocktower, which thrives on atmosphere and a mysterious setting, what we encourage for attire, but do not require, are garments with dark, moody colours like black, deep purple, or blood red.
If you want to go full out for your own immersive fun, to help set the tone and vibe of our story, think of an eerie, almost haunted feel; a Victorian or Gothic aesthetic.
