In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, ‌a demon walks amongst you...

During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village?

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 townfolk.

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. Of a '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 Traveller 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.

The best in the genre

This game is just superior to werewolf. You need to learn just a bit more rules and riles but wow is it worth it. Fantastic game. I can't go back now. Blood on the Clocktower is the way.

The absolute best social deduction game

If you enjoy social deduction games, especially those along the lines of Mafia/Werewolf or the online Town of Salem, and you can get 8+ players together to play it, you simply must invest in Blood on the Clocktower. This game takes all the best aspects of Werewolf and improves upon them. I also really appreciate the effort that's gone in to making the game easy to run for the storytellers, and the thorough and comprehensible guides for beginners. If you're on the fence about this one, I recommend giving some playthroughs a watch on the No Roles Barred Youtube channel, they're a hoot and will give you a good sense of how the game plays. It's a bit pricey, but you actually get a ton of stuff in the box and I think the experience justifies the cost, especially with the frankly bonkers amount of replayability they stuffed in there. Definitely check it out, my group is having a blast with it.
