Blood on the Clocktower Schedule
Sessions are currently planned every Sunday, starting at 5:30 PM, and some Thursdays, starting at 6PM. Session playtime varies, but a single game rarely takes more than 2 hours. Full session schedules are listed below.
NOVEMBER
Experience an award-winning script for this Blood on the Clocktower Special Feature session! Storyteller Jack G. will lead players in The Ballad of Seat 7, a script which won the Pandemonium Institute's 2025 Script World Cup! Grab your Player Pass before all that's left is an empty Seat 7...
Player Pass: $12 (15 spots available)
The Djinn Rule: Seat 7 remains empty. Its choices are arbitrary. Once per game the storyteller may speak on its behalf.
The Ballad of Seat 7 runs mostly like any other Clocktower game, though one seat remains open. Tokens are passed out as usual, including to the empty seat 7. Each night, the Storyteller determines what actions the seat takes following its role in night order. Once per game the storyteller may choose to speak for the seat. This can be public, private, does not need to be the truth, and can be used to nominate and accuse a player (even itself!) A storyteller may also choose to not use this ability if they think it will benefit the seat’s team to stay silent. There is no limit to what you can say or how long you speak. The only limit is that you can only have one instance of speaking per game.

About Blood on the Clocktower:
Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game with 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. During 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.
