Blood on the Clock Tower Silicon Valley

Murder, mystery, deception and trickery has come to Palo Alto!

Gamelandia is opening its doors to regular Sunday sessions of Blood on the Clocktower, the wildly popular social deduction / hidden identity party game (thing Werewolf or Mafia) from Australia. The event is open to all, even if you have little or no past experience with the game and just want to try it out. Bring your friends and come help hunt the Demon that killed your favorite Storyteller!

Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 20 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townsfolk.

During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. During 'night' time, players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill.

The Storyteller uses the game's intricate playing pieces to guide each game, leaving others free to play without a table or board. Players stay in the thick of the action to the very end even if their characters are killed, haunting Ravenswood Bluff as ghosts trying to win from beyond the grave.

If you arrive late to a game, you can enter after it's started as a powerful Traveler character with unusual talents and questionable allegiances. Each character comes with their own special ability and no two players in a game are ever the same character.

It's a fun social experience for up to 20 people, with a game time of 1-2 hours depending on the number of players. For the more game-aware among you, the game follows in the same vein as Werewolf and Resistance: the good team tries to smoke out the evil team, while the evil team is making life hard for good. Clocktower is a fun new take on the genre where dead players continue participating in the game, everyone has a special ability, and the game is run by a Storyteller who ensures that the game is interesting and balanced. There are plenty more details, as well as videos of gameplay over at https://bloodontheclocktower.com/.
