Murder mystery session of the social deduction game Blood on The Clocktower at the Nautico Lounge.
Blood on The Clocktower is coming to Nautico Lounge on Tuesday 17 November, and if you've never come across it, it's a social deduction game that's a bit more involved than your average party game. It's a murder mystery in the broadest sense: one person is the Demon, and their job is to kill off the other players one by one without getting caught. Everyone else is a Townsfolk, each with their own secret role and a specific piece of information they can use to figure out who the Demon is. The whole point is to talk, lie, and deduce your way to the truth before the Demon wins.
What sets it apart from things like Werewolf or Mafia is that almost every player has a unique ability. You're not just guessing based on vibes; you're working with actual clues. Some roles give you a direct lead, others let you check on someone's identity, and some just make you a target. The game continues even after you've been killed off—you still get to talk and vote—so you're involved until the very end. It's as much about the conversation and the bluffing as it is about the logic, and since it's played in a group, a lot of the fun comes from watching people try to talk their way out of a corner.

The session runs from 18:00 to 21:30 at Nautico Lounge, 66 Thomas St, Weymouth DT4 8EL. It's a single evening, so you'll be in for a few hours of it. If you're new to the game, don't worry—the Storyteller runs the whole thing and explains the rules as you go, so you don't need to have played before to join in. It's a social one, so it's a good excuse to get together with a few people and spend the evening trying to outmanoeuvre each other.
