Trust No Bear

One town. One demon. A room full of Cubs lying through their teeth — and you'll love every minute of it.

This is Blood on the Clocktower: our Storyteller runs a single grand game of bluff, whispers and cheerful back-stabbery across the afternoon while the Brisbane sun does its worst outside. No board-game rotation, no bringing your own — just you, a role you'll keep close to your chest, and the slow, delicious dread of working out who's a wolf before the wolf works out you.

Come early. Die gracefully. Keep talking regardless — the dead gossip loudest.

First time? All the better. The confused make excellent suspects, and nobody expects the new fella to be the Imp.

How it runs:

• One long game, seated in a circle — settle in.
• A Storyteller (that's Barnaby) runs the town; you just play your part.
• Nothing to bring but a poker face and a tolerable humour.

Smarten that snout and mind your tells. Trust no bear.
