ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT...

During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

WHAT IS THIS GAME?

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.

A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Join us at Bard & Baker on select Fridays in 2026 for our Blood on the Clocktower Organized Play night with Greg! Arrival time is 7:00 PM. Game covers can be purchased in advance on our website or in person the night-of at the register.

Plenty of food and drinks available for purchase the night of!

Hope to see you there!

ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT...

During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

WHAT IS THIS GAME?

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.

A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Join us at Bard & Baker on select Fridays in 2026 for our Blood on the Clocktower Organized Play night with Greg! Arrival time is 7:00 PM. Game covers can be purchased in advance on our website or in person the night-of at the register.

Plenty of food and drinks available for purchase the night of!

Hope to see you there!

ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT...

During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

WHAT IS THIS GAME?

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.

A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Join us at Bard & Baker on select Fridays in 2026 for our Blood on the Clocktower Organized Play night with Greg! Arrival time is 7:00 PM. Game covers can be purchased in advance on our website or in person the night-of at the register.

Plenty of food and drinks available for purchase the night of!

Hope to see you there!

Love painting miniatures but have no one to paint with or hang out with? Bring your minis and we'll supply the paint, brushes and lighting to deck them out and get those minis looking awesome!

This is all ages and all skill levels friendly! You're welcome to bring the kiddos learning how to paint. Warhammer, Warmachine, Dungeons & Dragons, board game minis and more! All are welcome.

$5 entry or free entry with any menu purchase

Whether you've been painting for 10+ years or this is your first mini and you're nervous about how to start -- you're all welcome to join in! Hope to see you there!
